Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
While I’m sure we can all agree with the post title as a general rule (except perhaps you literal skeptic types out there), I want to apply it specifically to childbirth. Because damn, a woman’s cunt is an amazing thing. I’m saying this having emerged from a fairly intense week of family business, namely the birth of my brand new nephew. I was privileged to be present at the birth Read More …
Yesterday I happily mailed off four copies of my new film The Thought Of Her to the Feminist Porn Awards. I’ve spent the last month editing and finalising this, my first long-form erotic film. It’s an extension of the idea behind the short film of the same name – erotic images of male masturbation combined with a sexy voiceover. The tame preview, above, gives an idea of what the film Read More …
Is porn better with or without music? It can add an emotional or dramatic element to a scene but it can also be distracting. There’s a long history of adult films featuring what we now know as “porno music”, sometimes known as “boom chicka wow wow”. Read More …
For years, anti-porn activists have campaigned against porn on the basis that it increases acts of violence against women. In essence, they say that porn causes rape. Today I thought I might sit down and compile a few resources that refute that claim. Because as far as I’m aware, there is still no reliable evidence to suggest that watching pornography induces men to rape. I think the biggest piece of Read More …
In Berlin last year I happened upon this lovely postcard from TomTo (who make male corsets) and promptly pocketed it. By co-incidence, that same day @girlonetrack linked to a gorgeous male lingerie site on Twitter. I’ve been meaning to do this post ever since. Men in corsets are hot. I don’t know why. They just are. This is personal taste, of course, but I suspect a lot of other women Read More …
Just before Christmas I finished my latest short film I.M. In Love and hurriedly submitted it to the Cinekink film festival in New York. Then I went on holiday. I’m pleased to say that the film has been selected to screen at Cinekink during the “Coupling” Program on 10th February 2012. And since this has happened I had to get off my butt and edit together a little trailer for Read More …
A while ago I went to Sexpo and came home with a showbag full of… well, I didn’t bother to look to be honest. I was too busy being interested in my new corsets. The bag got shoved into a corner of my office and ignored until I did some cleaning. Thus I discovered 3 freebie copies of softcore men’s magazines: Zoo Weekly, Picture and People. These magazines won’t win Read More …
Once again it’s time to write a wrap-up of the news and happenings from women’s porn over the past year. Continuing financial and social insecurity have been big news in 2011 and the world of porn has also seen its share of uncertainty. Something that has become apparent over the last 12 months is that female consumers have become incredibly comfortable with adult material; the new generation of internet users Read More …
As a writer and editor of erotic fiction, I’m a big fan of sexy stories. Written erotica is at its best when it has the freedom to build characters, emotions and motivation before the inevitable sex scene, allowing the reader’s imagination to colour the scenario with fabulous detail. Alas, the same can rarely be said for porn films. If the creators bother with any kind of plot, it’s often arbitrary Read More …
Filament, the hard-copy women’s magazine that set out to bring naked men to the masses, is closing down. Launched in June 2009, Filament branded itself as “the thinking woman’s crumpet” and championed the cause of the female gaze. It featured full frontal nude photos of a variety of men, most of them average guys, not the standard beefcake seen in Playgirl magazine. It also featured erotic fiction, articles about sex Read More …
The Best Women’s Erotica books from Cleis Press are one of the longest-running erotica series. Violet Blue has been the editor since 2006 and she’s shown herself to be quite the talented curator of dirty stories. The 2012 edition is out tomorrow (6th Dec) and I’m pleased to say that a story of mine made the grade this year. My story Tweetup is listed second and appears under my Louise Read More …
On Twitter today I came across an interesting discussion about the word “ladies” via The F Word UK (@thefworduk). Emma Dixon had been sent a message that said “Attention Ladies, come to our Xmas lunch.” Emma asked if there was any women who would prefer not be be addressed as “lady” or “ladies”. The replies showed that some women hate it, others don’t mind it. The same goes for “girls”. Read More …
On the 23rd November I attended the inaugural Eros Shine awards night in Melbourne. I went for a couple of reasons. One was to meet other industry people and do a bit of socialising/networking. The other was because For The Girls had been nominated for Best Website. Alas, FTG didn’t win, although it seems we were a runner-up of sorts. The award went to Adult Voyeur, a new startup that Read More …
I finally got around to updating my Porn Movies For Women Site and ended up adding more than 20 new titles. I thought I’d share a few of the new female-friendly films that are now available. The Female Voyeur Petra Joy’s latest film is an incredible journey into sensuality and female fantasy. This erotic and sumptuous film breaks porn taboos by including a threesome where the two guys are bi Read More …
OK, it’s done. This is my mini documentary about this year’s Berlin Porn Film Festival. Most of it was shot on a Sony Cybershot HX9V – a pocket camera that takes rather good HD video but not so good sound. I actually bought it at the airport on my way to Germany. And thank goodness I did. Our large video camera ended up being damaged, possibly dropped when in luggage Read More …
