Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Posts relating to porn for women
Surfing around today I was slightly startled to discover that women’s porn sites have been the subject of a very serious academic paper. Women’s Porno: The heterosexual female gaze in porn sites “for women” by Terrie Schauer is an 18 page article first published in the journal Sexuality and Culture two years ago. Here’s the abstract: The article deals with a number of Internet sites claiming to specialize in providing Read More …
Following last weekend’s Feminist Porn Awards, there’s been the inevitable debate about whether feminist porn can even exist. Violet Blue’s SFGate column discusses the idea and at the time of writing there are no less than 806 comments. I have only read the first 6… it’s too nice a day to even consider going through the rest. There’s also a high-falutin’ discussion at Finally Feminism 101. This one is interesting Read More …
I’m having a busy couple of days, so here’s a quickie post featuring a hot couple getting it on to tide you over.
Good For Her’s 3rd Annual Feminist Porn Awards have been announced following a ceremony held in Toronto on Saturday night. The list of winners: Boundary Breaker of the Year Buck Angel Smutty Schoolteacher of the Year (Educational Title) Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide to Oral Sex Part 1 Cunnilingus and Part 2 Fellatio | Tristan Taormino; Vivid Ed Hottest Dyke Film Crash Pad Series Volume 1 | Shine Louise Houston; Pink Read More …
No, that title doesn’t mean your usual girl-girl, long fingernail stuff. I’m talking about real life lesbians, making porn that reflects their sexuality. Today I stumbled on a rather extensive academic essay entitled The Politics Of Lesbian Pornography. The author looks at the contrast between anti-porn feminism and the work of lesbian filmmakers such as SIR and Fatale Video. The essay seems to date from about 2001. I skimmed through Read More …
Every now and again I search Google news for the term “porn for women” just in case someone has mentioned women’s erotica in the news. It’s popping up rather heavily at the moment but, unfortunately, the subject isn’t about porn. The cause of all the fuss is that damn Porn For Women book which features clothed men doing housework, combined with captions like “That’s OK honey, I’ll do the dishes.” Read More …
On the weekend I watched Petra Joy’s latest film “Feeling It” and I’m ready to announce that it’s the greatest porn for women movie EVER. Yes, yes, I know that’s what I said about her last film, Female Fantasies, but this is a NEW one. And I don’t think I’ve got enough rampant adjectives to describe how fantastic I think this movie is. It’s lush, it’s sensual, it’s raunchy, it’s Read More …
I got a bit of a surprise when I visited Good For Her and discovered that they’ve moved the date for the feminist porn awards forward by two months. Which is why I haven’t mentioned anything about this year’s awards before this. Unfortunately my friend Chanelle Gallant has left the store so I’m a bit out of the loop now. Anyway, the 2008 Feminist Porn Awards will be announced on Read More …
Every year Australian women’s mag Cleo runs its Bachelor Of The Year contest, ranking 50 good looking, vaguely well-known unmarried males according to… well, I’m not sure really. Hotness, brain power… penis size… something. Anyway, they’ve created a whole site for the 2008 batch including photos, videos, profiles and whatnot. Surfers can vote for their favorite guy until this Sunday with the results announced next week. I’m including this photo Read More …
There’s an interview with Candida Royalle at The Gazette which is a Canadian student publication. A snippet: She feels in order for women to see the kind of adult films they want to see, they need to wrest the reigns of production away from the “lowlife, no talent creeps†and create films they approve of, would want women to see and that make them feel good about themselves sexually. “We’re Read More …
Once again I’ve updated Porn Movies For Women and added a bunch of new Playgirl titles (as per usual… they really do churn them out, you know.) I’m very pleased to be able to include Erika Lust’s film Five Hot Stories For Her which is now available on Hot Movies. And there’s also All About Anna, the Danish production that is a step forward in film, successfully combining serious drama Read More …
I’m a bit late with this but it’s worth blogging about anyway. Three Australian researchers have released The Porn Report, the result of several years of research and surveys. The finding that the media have jumped on is that – gasp! – women like porn. 17% of those interviewed for the book were women and the authors say that women make up an increasing percentage of the porn market. That Read More …
Naughty And Uncensored is the latest release from the Playgirl/Wicked studios. I’m not sure exactly how naughty and uncensored it will be, but this is the first time those scary flies-eyes sunglasses have appeared on their covers. Here’s the official blurb: Hidden in the deepest recesses of each of us is a secret. A desire to share our wildest moments with another. What holds you back? Why do you censor Read More …
I’ve finally got around to watching Tina Tyler’s Handyman and I’m very impressed with it. This is an all-male-masturbation movie with a difference, because this one is totally and uncompromisingly aimed at straight women. The guys (all of them straight) talk to the camera as if it’s a woman watching them jerk off. And all the male stars are very good looking and buffed. There’s a total of ten scenes Read More …
It took a while but Zentropa/Innocent Pictures erotic film All About Anna has been released in the US, distributed by Wicked. On top of this, the film has officially gone platinum in Europe, selling 30,000 copies in Denmark. I know this because the lovely filmmakers invited me to a gala celebration of the event, which was held at the Museum of Erotica in Copenhagen. I couldn’t go, and not because Read More …
