Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Posts relating to porn for women
ABC music video show Rage recently held a competition where you could win the chance to program the show. Contestants had to make a list of your top 20 videos along with reasons for choosing each song. The winner was to exhibit “style and panache” in their list. I didn’t win. Neither did the other 3999 people who entered. Some 17 year old kid won it. Bastard. Anyway, since I Read More …
Surfing Google news I found this article at the UK’s Metro Magazine about women enjoying porn. It’s got all the usual semi-amazed discussion about the idea of women actually enjoying smut, plus a short interview with Anna Span. Nothing new there, although it has brought to my attention a new academic book by Clarissa Smith called One ForThe Girls. It’s a look at women’s experience of porn via the UK Read More …
Damn, it’s getting hard to keep up. Today’s ranty article about the Porn for Women* book is at Jezebel. In this case the author has sent an email to all her friends asking about what porn they like. There’s a bunch of varied responses, most of which are quite cynical, but I had to laugh at this one: I always thought girl porn like Sweet Action was really icky. Like, Read More …
You know, I’ve got to hand it to the alleged Cambridge Women’s Pornography Co-operative, authors of the book Porn for Women. Just by using that title, they’ve got the attention of a plethora of newspaper columnists, bloggers and feminists. I keep finding articles about it, frenzied discussions, outraged rants and cosy recommendations. Nice free advertising. Nice way to get to the top of Google. Nice way to make sales. There’s Read More …
Rachel Kramer Bussel has an opinion piece in the Huffington Post looking at that alleged comedy book called Porn for Women and asks if “porn for women” is a legitimate concept. She also asks whether a man doing housework is stroke material. I would say yes, but only if he’s naked (in which case, the book in question doesn’t make the grade). In the past I’ve made two free sites Read More …
Amidst a flurry of mainstream media articles about porn recently, Press Telegram has a piece about the growing influence of women in the adult industry. The article interviews Jamye Waxman and Candida Royalle as well as Anne Semans from Babeland. Unfortunately the story is short on statistics about how many women are into porn. I guess the Nielsen Netratings statistics of 28% don’t come up easily on Google. My other Read More …
I had things to do this morning. Instead, I wasted time mucking about on MySpace, doing that thing where you jump from a friend to their friend to their friends… and hitting “add to friends.” Anyway, thanks to this meandering I found an online magazine called SheVibe. This site looks gorgeous and it has some interesting erotic content and articles. I’m always pleased to see another contribution to the women’s Read More …
Here’s some photos from the 2007 Feminist Porn Awards held in Toronto on June 1. Anna Span receives her award for Indie Porn Pioneer. Feminist porn awards organiser Chanelle Gallant poses with special guest Anna Span. Simone Valentino, star of Afrodite Superstar and winner of Best New Star award. All the award winners are in this post.
Good For Her’s Feminist Porn Awards are over for another year. 350 attended the ceremony and party, which featured guests Anna Span, Simone Valentino, Peggy Comstock and Shine Louise Houston. “We came up with the idea for the Feminist Porn Awards because people don’t know they have a choice when it comes to porn,” said Chanelle Gallant, manager of Good for Her and the event’s organizer. “Yes, there’s a lot Read More …
To celebrate our 4th birthday, For The Girls (FTG) is conducting our third erotic fiction competition. Our aim is to uncover more great examples of sexy writing created expressly for women. This year’s theme is discovery. It’s a broad theme that can encompass exploration, experimentation, invention, realisation, breaking new ground, and uncovering secrets. The competition will run throughout June and July and is open to FTG members as well as Read More …
On June 1, 2003 my partner Jane and I launched For The Girls, an erotic site for straight women like ourselves. We pooled together all the good dirty pics and movies we could find, I added a bunch of my articles and stories, and off we went. Our first tour was fairly crappy, and our original credit card processor declared bankruptcy and ran off with all the money a month Read More …
The Feminist Porn Awards are already getting a fair bit of press coverage, in Canada at least. Good For Her Presents The Second Annual Feminist Porn Awards – The Canadian The 2nd Annual Feminist Porn Awards – Art Threat You’ve Cum a Long Way Baby – Torontoist Point of View – My Messy Bedroom I’ll have to do another post about this after the weekend.
“Unzipping his pants.” It’s such a nice phrase, isn’t it? This photo is good because firstly, the guy is damned sexy, and secondly, she’s in control. This pic is from the free site Hot Love by For The Girls.
This pic is from today’s update at For The Girls. It’s a rather gorgeous scenario where this lucky woman is thoroughly pleasured by two very handsome guys. This pic is quite softcore, of course. It gets far dirtier than this. One of the cool things about this set of photos is the focus on the woman’s pleasure. Too often in the two-guys-and-a-girl scenario, it’s all about her sucking two dicks, Read More …
Wade past the make-up advertising, “fashionista” blog and frighteningly large handbag photos and you’ll find this article in the sex section of Marie Claire. Following their February survey that found that 17% of their readers were into porn, the mag decided to compile a list of what they called “reputedly female friendly sites.” The list has quite a few worthy entries like Retro Raunch, I Feel Myself and Hot Movies Read More …
