Female Friendly AVN Nominations – Titles To Root For

In Australia, “rooting” is a euphemism for having sex. So we’ve long giggled whenever an American says “I’m rooting for ___ to win.” Now I can use it in a title… and I’m giggling. Anyway, the AVN award nominations have been announced and it’s another year of the same ol’ same ol’. Even the “alternative” category is laced with productions by big name companies like Penthouse and Playboy and is Read More …

10 Reasons To Watch Tristan Taormino’s Chemistry

This month I reviewed Tristan Taormino’s film Chemistry for For The Girls. We’re also featuring an interview with Tristan in our next update which is well worth checking out. Tristan is a sex-positive feminist film maker who I’ve long admired. If you haven’t heard of her before, visit her site Pucker Up. The idea behind Chemistry is to put 7 porn stars in a house for 36 hours and then Read More …

Christian Site Just4Ladies.com Was Never A Porn Site

I’ve stumbled across another dodgy example Christian anti-porn extremism. This page asserts that the domain just4ladies.com was originally a “pioneering porn site for women” and was in operation as far back as 1995. It then gushingly praises the owner, Michele Washam, for converting it into a Christian site. Naturally I was curious to discover this when I found it on Google News. As far as I was aware, the first Read More …

I Recommend Sexual Sushi

I’ve said it before: I’m a huge fan of Petra Joy’s and I recently reviewed her debut film Sexual Sush for For The Girls. Just like Female Fantasies, I thoroughly recommend this movie. It’s exactly the kind of thing I’ve been waiting for – a real female perspective and a focus on female pleasure. Top stuff. An excerpt from my review: I watched Sexual Sushi expecting more female-friendly porny goodness, Read More …

Porn Festival And Venus Awards In Berlin

Erika Lust’s film Five Hot Stories For Her was awarded best film for women at the Venus Eline Awards in Berlin last week. The other nominees were Petra Joy’s Female Fantasies and Renee Pornero’s film Viennese. On her blog Petra said that this was the first time an adult awards ceremony has acknowledged porn films made for women (if we don’t count the Good For Her Feminist Film Awards). So Read More …

Female Fantasies Wins Best Soft Film

Congratulations to Petra Joy. Her film Female Fantasies has won Best Soft Film at the Barcelona Erotic Film Festival (site is a bit out of date). I’m not sure it deserves the moniker “soft” because the film is certainly hardcore in places. Perhaps the definitions have shifted somewhat and “hardcore” can only mean DPs and rough sex or something like that. Anyway, Petra’s blog has a great post about it Read More …

Lust Films Wins Award + Good Porn For Good Girls

Congratulations to Spanish filmmaker Erika Lust. Her debut adult feature Five Hot Stories For Her won Best Spanish Script at the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival (more info here). The film is slowly being distributed in Europe and, according to her blog, will be released in the US in the next couple of months. I’m really looking forward to seeing it. I’m assuming it will have subtitles, but I’m not Read More …

Free Porn And Great Manicures, Darling

Portfolio.com has a long article about the changing face of the porn industry, focusing particularly on YouPorn and the fact that it’s giving away free porn and not making any money, even though the owners want $20 million for it. The article has a few paragraphs about the emergence of women as consumers of porn, and in the interests of posterity I’m just going to cut and paste them (the Read More …

Sex On Blue Satin

It’s Friday, I’m about to knock off for the week and go camping, so here’s a nice bit of naughtiness before I go. Sex on blue satin… never reaching the end… (Cue swelling Moody Blues orchestration) Pic is from this gallery from For The Girls.

Good Dyke Porn

Another authentic lesbian paysite has been launched. Good Dyke Porn is the creation of Canadian filmmaker Bren Ryder. Bren has already created a feature film of the same name and has now decided to make those scenes plus new ones available via a membership site. It’s also got a blog and a few freebie clips. The former is already a good read and the latter are pretty hot. It’s the Read More …
