Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
It was my birthday yesterday. I’m now 37. This is a prospect that is not very promising. I’m rapidly heading for 40 and the wrinkles are getting deeper. Before I was in my mid-thirties which is perfectly respectable but I think 37 is a bit of a tipping point. Like most people, I still think I’m really only about 21 inside and I don’t think anyone really accepts the age Read More …
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you… Fanta Pants.” – Marieke Hardy It’s been a bit of a whirlwind 24 hours. I’ve got no work done at all because I’ve been glued to Twitter, news sites and the TV as the Australian political landscape shifted before my eyes. Australia now has its first female prime minister, Julia Gillard. She was not directly elected to this role; rather, she’s now in the Read More …
I need to say something. Something that’s pretty obvious really: I’m a capitalist. I make porn to make money. It’s how I earn my living. And it seems that some would argue that because I’m trying to make a profit from porn, this immediately means that anything I have to say on the topic of censorship or feminist porn is therefore tainted or hasn’t any weight. I got this aggravation Read More …
Can you believe it, it’s my 6th Blogaversary! Actually, I’m a day late, I forgot! Anyway, I wrote my first blog post in the old format blog on June 7th, 2004. I’m now on my 2nd script and third design. Added to that, it’s For The Girls’ 7th birthday in June. I can’t believe how quickly that time went. I have to admit, I really didn’t think our little site Read More …
I’ve never seen 30 Rock. It’s on that thing called a TV that used to entertain me before the internet. In any case, apparently an episode of 30 Rock featured a discussion about porn for women that went like this: Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin) is talking to a guy named Dave from Kablevision about new ideas for the network. Jack says they should do porn for women. Dave’s Read More …
You may have noticed that my blog was kinda dead for a week. That’s because I’d tripped off to Melbourne to attend the Global Atheist Conference. I wasn’t going to write about it on this blog. After all, it should be about porn, right? And I don’t want to alienate any of my readers who may be religious in their own way. But I feel the need to have a Read More …
So, since I’m being nostalgic, allow me to introduce you to this amazing timeline: the history of internet memes. It traces the rise and fall of the various web fads that have kept us amused over the years. Remember Mr T Ate My Balls? Or Bert Is Evil? How about the Dancing Baby or the Hamster Dance or Numa Numa? Badger Badger Badger Badger! Bananaphone! Wharbargl! And of course, anything Read More …
It’s now ten years since I bought my first domain name. This means I’ve been creating erotica online for a whole decade – 2000 to 2010. When I started out I never imagined I’d be doing it for this long, nor that it would take me as far as it has. In the last ten years I’ve seen the online adult industry evolve from single images on slow dial-up to Read More …
I’m finally back after another extended break away from the internet. It really is very good for me to go offline and experience the “real world” every now and again. I had a wonderful festive break with my family including much vicarious fun with my nephew and nieces. I’m not going to have kids of my own but I do love playing with my small relatives. It’s midsummer here so Read More …
Scanning in old photos a few weeks ago I came across the pics we took at the Sydney performance of Annie Sprinkle’s Post Porn Modernist in 1996. Annie positively insisted that the audience took photos of the show so these blurry images are the result of our participation. I’ve also still got one of the rice-filled shakers we used to create a wall of sound during Annie’s orgasmic meditation. This Read More …
I’ve long been musing about the whole issue of copyright, downloading and paying for entertainment/artistic content. It’s now the end of the Noughties and, as we speak, film studios, media companies and distributors are becoming increasingly hysterical about the effects of the internet, in particular the piracy that occurs through torrents and illegal downloads. The British government is mulling over a bill that would see people losing access to the Read More …
I’ve just come back from my 2 yearly pap smear appointment and thought I’d make a too-much-information post about it. I’m feeling like someone’s attacked my insides with a blender – and this despite the fact that the doctor is a really good and caring GP. Why is this procedure so horribly awful? Surely there’s some other way we can test for cervical cancer other than spreading your legs for Read More …
Yes folks, it’s my birthday. I’m another year older and there’s a few more wrinkles. This year I found a great list of reasons to feel good about getting older: 1. It sure as hell beats the alternative. 2. I can still touch my toes. 3. Any occasion that encourages cake and gifts is a good occasion. 4. When I see a light at the end of a tunnel, I Read More …
20 years ago today, I first kissed my husband. Yes, it’s kind of obsessive that I remember the date, but it’s one occasion I’ve always thought worth remembering. I was 15 at the time… and pretty new to kissing too. And damn, if it wasn’t a lovely bit of smooching. It wasn’t love at first kiss, though. The whole thing was a false start. It took us six months to Read More …
I’ve had bad food poisoning for a couple of days thanks to a dodgy batch of salmon. Hence the lack of blogging lately. Naturally this leads me to quote this scene from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. “But I didn’t even eat the mousse!”
