More On Australian Women, Porn and Sex

Just wanted to add a further post about the recent survey of the sex lives of Australian women (previous post here) News.com.au has an article unfortunately titled “The sad sexual secrets of women” which is rather misleading since the survey has plenty of positive aspects to it, including an increase in masturbation, a desire for more consideration from male partners and a general urge to explore one’s sexuality. I wanted Read More …

Birthday

I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottom of my trousers rolled… Today I turn 35. This is freaking me out a little bit. 35 feels like a marker, a turning point. When you’re 35, you can’t be classified as “young” anymore. I’ve tipped over the edge, heading for middle age. That’s pretty scary, especially because in my mind I’m still only 25. I don’t think anyone Read More …

A Porn Photo For Women

I’ve been writing a lot of very wordy posts lately, getting off topic and not giving you nearly enough porn. So here’s a nice dirty pic for you to enjoy. It’s also given me an excuse to offer up a Google-friendly title for the post. And, looking at it, I think it’s a good example of porn for women because a) It shows a woman receiving pleasure and that is Read More …

You Vill Submit To Me!

Writers! Please! This is a call for more submissions to For The Girls – both to our regular erotic fiction and Wicked Ways sections and also our erotic story contest. I realise that it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere and that you guys are probably more interesting in BBQs and swimming and not doing a damned thing, but please, please, can you spare a few thousand words of steamy, arousing, Read More …

Petra Joy Up For Major Film Awards

Petra Joy reports on her blog that her latest film Feeling It is up for two major awards at this year’s International Erotic Film Festival in Madrid, Spain (FICEB). The first nomination is for Best Film and the second is for Best Director. She’s up against heavyweights from the adult industry including films from Vivid and Evil Angel. It’s quite an achievement for an indie director and it’s also a Read More …

A Weird Feminist Critique Of Porn For Women

Obsessing about my place in Google once again I found a rather long winded feminist essay about women’s porn, entitled: Rape Culture: Renegotiating Sexual Subjectivity on Porn Sites for Women. The piece takes a rather large philosophical stick to Sssh.com, which is an adult site for women that’s been around for roughly the same time as For The Girls. It does this in an attempt to make a general point Read More …

A New Wave Erotica Film From Australia

A couple of years ago Anna Brownfield made waves when her film The Money Shot won numerous awards at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival. When the ABC show Mondo Thingo decided to do a piece on “chick porn” they interviewed Anna as the local representative of the porn for women movement.* Now Anna is about to release her first full-on porn film called The Band. Set in the grungy Melbourne Read More …

Erika Lust’s Barcelona Sex Project Coming Soon

Erika Lust is about to release her second major film – the Barcelona Sex Project. This documentary-style film is a move away from her plot-based vignettes of Five Hot Stories For Her. A feminist adult movie, created for women by women, the film discloses the private lives and sexuality of six individuals. The project is based on the conviction that women desire to know a person’s inner character (their beliefs, Read More …

For The Girls Turns Five + New Short Story Competition

It’s June again and that means that it’s For The Girls’ birthday! Way back in the mists of time – June 2003 – my friend Jane and I launched our little-porn-site-that-could. We gathered together all our favourite dirty pics and movies, and I collected a whole bunch of my articles and columns, and off we went. We started small, and our first billing company – Globill – collapsed within a Read More …

Quick Links: Yaoi and Women In IT

Just wanted to whack up a couple of quick links today. The first is this Canadian article on the growth of Yaoi – Japanese gay erotica made for straight women. I’ve written about Yaoi before, this adds another perspective. Secondly I found this board post from a woman who works in IT. She is making a point about how IT is still an overwhelmingly male industry, at least in the Read More …

A Hot Movie With Guys Going Down

This week at For The Girls I’ve reviewed Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Cunnilingus which recently won a prestigious butt plug at the Feminist Porn Awards. Tristan is doing a great job with her educational series from Vivid and this is no exception. Aside from clearly explaining anatomy and giving handy tips for good pussy licking, the movie offers a number of seriously hot cunnilingus sex scenes. It’s worth recommending Read More …

A Bit Of Flash Fun

JavaScript is required to view this page. This is a little ad I made for For The Girls a while ago and I’ve just converted it into a flash movie using a new bit of software I’ve bought called EasyFLV. I’ve been meaning to learn more about flash for a few months but I was procrastinating. Instead I just forked out some money for a little program that does it Read More …

The Search For Male Goth Porn

Alt porn is the new black. Or it was the new black – some say that it’s been commercialised beyond coolness so now it’s more of a new brown. In any case, there are now plenty of alternative gothic porn sites out there featuring naked chicks with tattos and piercings (see Quirky Sex for examples). The problem with the new black is that it’s still the same ol’ same ol’ Read More …

Five Hot Stories For Her Is Fabulous

I’ve now watched Erika Lust’s debut film Five Hot Stories For Her and I have to say I’m very impressed. This film won movie of the year at the Feminist Porn Awards and I think it deserved it. Certainly this film now shares a spot on my “all time favourites” list. Five Hot Stories For Her is a pretty good title. This movie has consists of five individual short films, Read More …
