Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Posts about sex, particularly women’s sexual experiences
The “Vagina Lady”, Eve Ensler, has launched the latest aspect of her “vagina franchise”, an arts festival focusing on violence against women. The New York Times has an interview and article here. Now, I respect Ms Ensler for almost everything that she has done. She works hard for her charity and her play, The Vagina Monologues, has brought the issue of women’s body image into the spotlight. What frustrates me, Read More …
According to an article in Live Science, researchers have found that women’s brains react to erotic images faster and stronger than any other image. Electroencephalogram (EEG) tests on 264 women monitored their reactions to images of “water skiers, snarling dogs, partially clad couples in sensual poses, and other scenes.” Whaddya know, the partially clad couples caused women’s brains to fire 20% faster than any other picture. “Previous research indicated men Read More …
I got an email from a reader asking advice. Since he told me I could post my response in his blog, I thought I’d answer and whack the whole lot up here for your voyeuristic gratification. Please note: I’m not a sex therapist, so don’t even think about pretending this is professional advice. And names have been withheld to protect the guilty. Dear Ms Naughty, I’ve been reading your blog Read More …
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 …
OK, so here’s a little bit of personal information about me: I bellydance. I’ve been dancing for over four years now, and I love it. When I’m not hunched over my keyboard making smut I’m practising my shimmies, flutters and tucks. I’ve had to learn to sew and I’ve now got a thing for glitzy fabric and sequins. Indeed, bellydancing is like being a drag queen, but for girls. Especially Read More …
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 …
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 …
British tabloids The Inquirer and The Sun are tripping over themselves trying to fit as many meat and sausage jokes as they can into the news that two women have been fired from a sausage roll factory for downloading porn at work. Seems the two ladies were enjoying a spot of “big cock” porn during their dinner break and had attracted a few onlookers when management stepped in. Here’s a Read More …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
A survey of 4000 women by travel company lastminute.com has found that women think about sex more every day than men. Apparently we girlies spend 180 minutes a day pondering rumpy-pumpy, while men only think about sex for 150 minutes. I’m not sure why a travel company would be interested in this infomation, but there it is. They do also point out that both men and women spend most of Read More …
Thanks to Scanner for altering me to the World Cup 2006: Alternative Ladies’ Programme on Switzerland’s tourism site. “Well ladies, how about spending the summer of 2006 in a place where men are not so much interested in football as in making a fuss of you – in the Swiss Alps, for example?” The TV commercial is just bursting with innuendo, and what with the slogan “Get Natural” it’s all Read More …
