Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Posts relating to porn for women
Have you noticed how every news outlet happily includes a photo of a near-naked woman when reporting about Carnivale in Rio? And have you also noticed they way they DON’T include any photos of scantily clad men? This despite the fact that there are plenty of buffed Brazilian men gadding about in next to nothing as well. The reason is, of course, that everyone is afraid of “catching the gay.” Read More …
I missed this when it happened – perhaps because AVN isn’t such a great site for discovering useful stuff like this. Still, better late than never. The AVN expo in January held a special seminar called “What Women Want”, aiming to discuss the needs of female consumers when it comes to porn and sex toys. Given the title of the forum and the fact that it was AVN I was Read More …
Here’s another book chock full of lusty reading if you’re in the mood to stimulate your imagination. I like this one because it’s really all about straight-out fantasy, and it’s always hot to read what gets other women off. Official blurb: The Mammoth Book of Women’s Fantasies is the newest addition to the lustily successful Mammoth Erotica series featuring the year’s—and the world’s—best erotic fiction. Featured in this steamy collection Read More …
The Dominion has an article about porn for women and the feminist porn awards. Admittedly, they’re six months late with the awards, but the piece does discuss women’s erotica in an interesting way. As for the opposite of feminist pornography, “any film made with female coercion†would qualify, says [Chanelle] Gallant. She stresses that feminist porn is not a genre. You can’t identify it by pointing to certain aspects of Read More …
Violet Blue has posted her call for submissions for Best Women’s Erotica 2009. The deadline is 1st May 2009 and the guidelines look pretty similar to last year. I really liked what Violet had to write about creating a top quality erotica collection that reflects women: Let’s give women readers what they really want (as sales have shown). Let’s show mainstream publishing (who are still afraid of publishing books like Read More …
Great news. Petra Joy’s third film, Feeling It, is due for release in March 2008. The film also has a website which features some wonderful still photos from the movie and information about the stars. There are some hot new amateur performers involved who were recruited from Europe during Petra’s travels. A few excerpts from the site: Petra’s motto “Feeling it, not faking it!” is being embraced passionately by the Read More …
It’s a little late but here it is, as promised: the Porn for Women Retrospective for 2007. It was actually a very busy year for women’s erotica, with heaps of movies released especially for straight women and continuing coverage in the press. Statistics and surveys showed that the number of women enjoying adult material is still growing – even if a lot of people still think that women don’t really Read More …
USA Today reports on a survey of 813 students about attitudes to porn. The researchers have concluded that young people are more accepting of porn than their parents, seeing it as an “acceptable way to express sexuality.” Naturally the study has prompted much hand wringing about the terrible influence of internet porn. Most headlines have focused on the idea that women are more accepting of porn, although apparently most of Read More …
British footballer David Beckham has caused a stir by appearing half-naked in an ad for Armani. The viewer just can’t help but notice that the bulge in those bright white undies is, well, fucking huge. The Daily Star has happily speculated on the various items that may be stuffed therin, including “Led Zeppelin, or at least any Zeppelin, Wife Victoria’s old boob implants, Dr Who’s tardis or even Osama Bin Read More …
I’ve been meaning to write up an article on Yaoi for a long time but gay site Xtra has beaten me to it. Yaoi (pronounced “yowee”) is Japanese manga comics depicting romantic relationships between two men, some of it involving hardcore gay sex. Yaoi is almost exlusively written by women for a straight female audience. It’s been popular in Japan for a long time but has now broken into the Read More …
I’ve spent most of today updating Porn Movies For Women. There were a lot of new movies to add and I’m still writing up some reviews. But I thought I’d do a post on Ms Naughty about some of the female friendly adult films that have recently been released. The Personal Touch Series: Playgirl sex educator Jamye Waxman has moved into making adult films and has created an instructional series Read More …
It’s Friday, I’m ready for my wine, sweetie, and I thought I should end the week with a nice hunk photo. Ashley here is hot. Problem is, he’s smoking a cigarette. I’m so conflicted! I don’t smoke and I usually can’t handle being near people who do smoke. So I don’t like the idea that this lovely hunky man is clogging up his lovely hunky lungs with tar. But still, Read More …
Thanks to a lovely review package chock-full of DVDs, I’m deep in the world of Tristan Taormino at the moment, as you may have guessed from my various posts. I’m having a great time watching the vids (which doesn’t happen that often, I have to say) and I’m very much admiring her philosophy too. And I’m not alone. Over at Sex In The Public Square they’ve got a great interview Read More …
Oh. My. God. What else to say about a site featuring scans of Playgirl male centerfolds dating from the 70s through to 1995? It’s worth a look for the fashions alone. Like Mr July 1989, Benny Graham here. The stunning mullet and mo combination is topped by the thong that matches the animal-print couch. It’s art, I tell you, ART. If you want to see what Playgirl’s centerfolds look like Read More …
While I was away enjoying life a small debate erupted about porn, facials, blowjobs and feminism. It started because Petra Joy wrote this on her blog: A woman receiving head, a woman fucking a guy with a strap-on, a guy tasting his own cum and also to feature female ejaculation – those techniques that show a woman in control might be “feminist porn”. If you want to show cum on Read More …
