30% More British Women Are Surfing Porn

A new study by Nielsen Netratings and the Independent on Sunday has revealed that British women are increasingly keen on their online porn. The survey found that in the last 12 months the number of Brit chicks surfing for smut has increased by a whopping 30%. Men still have the upper hand, of course. Nine million men, or 40% of the British male population reported visiting an adult site in Read More …

Toronto adult retailer Good for Her is sponsoring a gala evening celebrating the work of female porn directors on June 1. Vixens + Visionaries aims to showcase female friendly and women-driven erotica. Candida Royalle will be the special guest along with her protege Abiola Abrams as well as anal queen Tristan Taormino, Dana Dane from Eroktavision, Angela Phong from lesbian-focused Pornograflics and Jen Bowers who runs SMUT Magazine (a Canadian Read More …

But What If Stereotypes Turn You On?

Seems I’ve failed the sisterhood again – in Spanish, no less. Today I got a pingback from a Spanish blog called Girls Who Like Porno, commenting on this Erika Lust post. Judging from the garbled Babelfish translation, the post is not complimentary. I had a look at their “about porno” page which features an English translation of their philosophy: “[We are] Girls who don’t like some kind of porno, a Read More …

Hunk of the Week

I thought I’d include another lovely pic for all the pervy girlies out there. This is Calistro, our hunk of the week at For The Girls. There’s a lot to like about this man. Like those lovely white Y-fronts that he fills out so well. And the mysterious scar. And that sexy treasure trail of hair that goes from his chest down to his pubes. I’m not sure what he Read More …

Damon and Hunter: My First Gay Porn Film

There I was at the post office, excitedly ripping open the package with my copy of Damon and Hunter: Doing It Together inside and my husband was shushing me and telling me not to wave it around in public. So we went home and I promptly watched it. Now, for a start, I’m getting a little jaded about watching porn films. It’s starting to be a bit of a chore, Read More …

A (Very) Brief History of Male Centerfolds

As reported previously in this post, this month US Cosmopolitan is celebrating 10 years of naked male centerfolds. They’ve been offering up naked men since 1996 and in the last 5 years have combined the beefcake with a charity push to raise awareness of prostate cancer. Partly inspired by Cosmo’s PR effort, I decided to write a feature article on the history of male centerfolds, to feature in the upcoming Read More …

For The Girls Hunk Of The Week

This is Ben. He’s the hunk of the week at For The Girls. You can’t see his eyes well in this photo, but they’re really dark. They’re almost black, and it makes him seem kind of mysterious. Well, as mysterious as you can be standing naked in a shower and soaping up for the camera.

Wandering Through A Massively Multi-User Erotica Community

I found a press release by a new company called Red Light Center. They were announcing the launch of a new brand of multi-user software, specifically aimed at women aged 21-49. If you’re a geek you’ll understand what I mean when I say it’s a “massively multi-user online reality” interface. If you’re like me – someone who doesn’t play computer games and doesn’t know much about this kind of thing Read More …

Romance Erotica Contains (Gasp!) Sex

It seems to be the news story that just won’t go away: romance novels for women contain increasingly explicit sex. Shock! Horror! Something must be done! For weeks now I’ve been seeing the same article syndicated or rewritten in different news outlets. Perhaps I should just list a few of them here: Mainstream publishers bring erotica to the masses (Chicago Tribune, syndicated by AAP). Romance, Writ Large (Washington Post) Reading Read More …

Porn In Long-Term Relationships

A major survey by Elle Magazine and MSNBC asked over 77,000 people in long-term relationships about their sex lives. Results are detailed in this article. Naturally the question I’m zooming in on is this one: “What have you done to spice up your sex life in the last year?” Turns out that 37% of respondents (male and female) in a long-term relationship have watched porn to put some zing back Read More …

Google Trends Reveals Who’s Perving On What

The BBC have alerted me to a new online tool called Google Trends. This site analyses which cities and regions are most looking for particular search terms. Thus it is that the BBC has concluded that “Birmingham tops web porn search” because that city comes up number one for the search term “porn”. Manchester in the UK is second, with Brisbane in Australia coming third. What’s fascinating about that search Read More …

Swayze Voted Best On-Screen Near-Naked Man

Cosmopolitan’s poll of 800 readers has declared Patrick Swayze to be the hottest near-naked man on screen. The moment in Dirty Dancing when when a bare-chested Swayze lifts Jennifer Grey out of the water was voted as the sexiest, followed by Jesse Metcalfe mowing the lawn with his shirt off in the hit US series Desperate Housewives. Celeb favourite Matthew McConaughey‘s shirtless scene in How to Lose A Guy In Read More …

Ayla The Prehistoric Porn Star

Take any pre-loved paperback edition of Jean M. Auel’s The Valley of Horses and let it fall open. I’ll bet you a pair of mammoth hair underpants that the pages will automatically flip open to one of the many “dirty bits”. I was 14 when I first read The Clan of the Cave Bear, quickly followed by The Valley of Horses and The Mammoth Hunters. I think I can safely Read More …

Naked Man In The Sunlight

It’s Sunday, it’s heading into winter here in Australia, so I thought I’d whack up a nice photo of a naked man posing in warm yellow sunlight. He reminds me a little of Johnny Depp. Maybe it’s just the hair. And he’s got that nice groin muscle thing going on… mmmm. He’s also handily demonstrating the kind of furniture display technique that you rarely see on game shows. “Look at Read More …

My Vanilla Inferiority Complex

Tony Comstock has made an interesting post about “porn for beginners” and quoted bits from this post of mine. He’s agreeing with the idea that people who enjoy “soft” porn shouldn’t be considered as less advanced in their sexuality as those who are more into harder and extreme stuff. I feel the need to elaborate a little more on the topic, with regards to how I personally feel. The thing Read More …
