Porn On The Brain
What thoughts go through your brain when you’re watching porn? I suspect that, for many women, the above “brain map” may hold true. Your arousal does battle with numerous theoretical issues about what you’re watching. Read More …

Wet Satin and Tits and Clits: Women’s Erotic Comics

On MamaMia: I Make Feminist Porn
Today I have a piece about my career in feminist porn at Mia Freedman’s MamaMia blog. The headline is a bit of fun: “This woman spent 13 years creating female-friendly porn”.

If you want to see what I’m doing with porn right now I’d love Read More …
Aporntheid – How I Experience Discrimination Because Of My Work
Creating porn – even if it’s ethical, feminist porn – means I experience a variety of discrimination in how I am treated. This is especially true when it comes to accessing and using social media and much worse when dealing with Google’s monopoly. I think it’s fair to ask: why? Read More …
Porn Panel At Reality Bites Literary Fest
Yesterday I attended the “Money Shot” porn panel at the Reality Bites Literary festival. I wanted to hear what author Jeff Sparrow had to say about porn and censorship. He has written a book called The Money Shot, which looks at the dysfunctional censorship system here in Australia. This review does a good summary of the book. Also on the panel were erotica and fiction writer Krissy Kneen and journalist Read More …
UK Goes Mad With New Opt-In To Porn Policy
The conservative government in the UK has announced that all households in the UK will have to officially opt-in to allowing porn by notifying their ISPs of their intention. The Guardian reports: In the most dramatic step by the government to crack down on the “corroding” influence of pornography on childhood, the prime minister will say that all internet users will be contacted by their service providers and given an Read More …
Tumblr Reverses Its Pornocalypse – For Now
Over the last few days the internet as been mightily stirred up thanks to Valleywag “breaking the news” that Tumblr had effectively hidden all 2 million-plus porn blogs. It had removed the “erotic” tag along with numerous other porny tags and inserted a robots.txt file that hid any blogs marked “NSFW” or “adult” from all search engines. I say “breaking the news” because Bacchus from Eros Blog had actually discovered Read More …
My Sexy, Powerful Childhood Heroines
Now that I’m hideously old and decrepit I’m allowed to indulge in nostalgia because, well, because I say so. But since I also write a feminist blog about sex and porn I thought I might as well bring a bit of analysis into my reminiscing. Because why the hell not? So the other day I found myself musing about the women I looked up to in the TV shows, movies Read More …
Why Streaking Is Fun
There may be other news happening in Australia at the moment but all anyone’s interested in is the streaker who appeared in the final stages of last night’s State of Origin rugby league match. Wati Holmwood decided to make a naked run across the filed with a little over two minutes left until the end of the game. Apparently he’d greased himself with vaseline beforehand. After he was crash-tackled by Read More …

The Single-Column Internet Is Making Me Tetchy
OK, here’s another post to file under “curmudgeonly old person rant”. Now I’m 40 I’m entitled to be a grumpy old woman. It looks like I’ll need to update the theme for my blog since it seems to be creating errors willy-nilly. I’ve been cruising the various theme sites trying to find a replacement and one of the more important aspects of any new theme in 2013 is that it’s Read More …

Life Begins At Forty
It’s been a big weekend. Despite my best efforts to stay 27, I had no choice but to turn 40. It’s a bit of a milestone and means I might officially be “middle aged”, though there’s no way I feel old. The saying is that inside every older person is a young one wondering what the hell happened. Certainly I’m feeling amazed at how quickly time has passed, especially the Read More …
