Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
The SMH is reporting a survey by soap company Dove which asked women what they found attractive in a man. The big winner is a good sense of humour: “Sixty five per cent of women surveyed said they are turned off by guys seeking physical perfection, with 86 per cent citing vanity as one of the biggest turn-offs in a man. “Although one in four men view a muscular tanned Read More …
The other day I saw an ad for a porn site that I found rather disturbing. It was a looped flash video ad that featured a couple having very rough sex. The woman was “fish hooked” (had a finger in her mouth, dragging her head back at a painful angle), a penis was rubbed roughly on her face, she was choked and slapped. She also didn’t seem to be enjoying Read More …
Am I queer? It’s probably a ridiculous question to which the answer is, simply, no. And yet I’ve been wanting to write about this since the Erotics conference 2 weeks ago because I found myself sitting there wondering if I was queer. Simply asking the question raises more questions about the concept of “queer” and how it’s applied. At the conference I was surrounded by a lot of people who Read More …
MAKING OF HOT HOTELUploaded by lustfilms. – Watch feature films and entire TV shows. Above is the “making of” video for Erika Lust’s latest short film Love Hotel which is her sequel to Handcuffs. A can only feel jealous as to the circumstances behind this film. A new boutique hotel in Barcelona called Casa Camper decided to invite six Spanish directors to create short films set in their hotel. Erika Read More …
Our latest centerfold at For The Girls is the gorgeous Rob – seen here with his undies mostly on. He’s a wonderful bloke, really easygoing and friendly. He’s also a tradesman and that means he’s eligible to win Australia’s Hottest Tradie. It’s a competition run by a dating site, now into its 3rd year. The premise is that single women prefer the more “macho” trade professions than men in suits, Read More …
In Berlin in October 2009 I had the opportunity to meet Martijn Broersma, a TV executive who had just set up an adult cable channel for women in the Netherlands called Dusk. We talked about porn for women and he invited me to submit my film “That’s What I Like” and anything else I made. 2010 rolled around and I got bogged down in the drama of trying to revamp Read More …
Last month I reviewed Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Female Orgasms for For The Girls and I’m overdue to talk about it here. Put simply, I loved it. It’s the latest in Tristan’s Expert Guide series in which she presents sex education accompanied by scenes of hot sex. The important thing is, the sex isn’t your usual porny stuff. Instead, the lovely porn stars demonstrate how to have good sex, Read More …
I have to hand it to Rabbit Write. Her Lady Porn Day idea has hit the big time with numerous articles in the mainstream media. The latest is this one on ABC News. What’s interesting in this piece is that Gail Dines has taken a step back from her “all porn is evil” stance. She actually concedes that there is some feminist and female-friendly porn available. “This is a distraction Read More …
Fucking Is The Only Prayer – Trailer from Louise Lush on Vimeo. I finally got around to making a short trailer for Fucking Is The Only Prayer which screens at Cinekink in New York on March 4 and is available in the member’s area of For The Girls. The thing is, when your short film is only 3 minutes long, a trailer for it is kind of tricky. You don’t Read More …
In August last year, film director Richard Wolstoncroft decided to engage in some civil disobedience. He had wanted to screen the film LA Zombie, an explicit gay film about zombies, at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF). The Australian censors did not grant permission for him to do so – it’s illegal to publicly screen porn in Australia. Angered by the banning of the film, Mr Wolstoncroft organised a “public Read More …
I own over 100 domains. I’ve got a whole bunch of sites out there that have been online for years. Plenty still look the same as they did five years ago. Too many have broken links and images, outdated text. It’s a result of a bad habit I have: I think of an idea, buy a domain, create a site for it and then move on. I’ve actually still got Read More …
It’s becoming increasingly apparent in the debates surrounding porn that statistics are being used like weapons. At the recent Cambridge debate, data, or the lack thereof, was an important factor in how points were presented. And dodgy statistics and studies about porn seem to be everywhere. Now we have a chance to help create some unbiased research into the topic of how people use porn. Pornography Research Online wants to Read More …
During our December photoshoot I was trying to think about funny and artistic ways we could shoot our male models beyond the usual “I’m naked with my hard cock out” pic. I did a few artistic rip offs, as you can see in the post The Artistic Male Centerfold. These photos were inspired by my bookshelf. More specifically, I thought my collection of feministy, porny titles would probably look much Read More …
Lady Porn Day. There are so many things I could write about porn for women* and women’s enjoyment of porn. And there’s so much I’ve already written; the landing page of my blog has a whole bunch of posts that I recommend you read. What I want to do here is talk about the future of women’s porn because perhaps Lady Porn Day is a marker of sorts. It feels Read More …
February 22 has been declared as Lady Porn Day by Rabbit White. It sounds like a fun idea and a good way to raise awareness of porn for women so I’m joining in. Here are a few more sample photos from the major male model shoot we did in December last year. I have Adam a copy of My Secret Garden by Nancy Friday to use as a prop and Read More …
