Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
I went back online after the conference and my time away to discover that a blogger called Rabbit Write had planned a blogosphere event called Lady Porn Day. The idea is to start a discussion about women and porn and also share links of what women enjoy. I only found about about the event because MayMay posted a critique of the event’s banners, complaining that they focused on typical porn Read More …
On the 17th of February, the Cambridge University Union Society hosted a debate entitled This House Believes Pornography Does A Good Public Service. On the “for” side were feminist porn filmmaker Anna Span, sex educator and therapist Jessi Fischer (The Sexademic) and porn actor Johnny Anglais. On the “against” side were anti-porn feminist Gail Dines, child psychologist Richard Woolfson and Shelly Lubben, ex prostitute and porn actress, now an evangelical Read More …
I’m happily giving Old Spice some free advertising space on my blog because I just enjoy looking at Isiah Mustafa with his shirt off. Oh sure, there’s that interesting post-modernist aspect and the way it subtly critiques the idea of the perfect man while also celebrating it. One could consider that it’s one of the few times an ad is directly pitched at the sexual desires of straight women. But Read More …
Well folks, I did it. I successfully gave my presentation “Girly Smut: A History Of Porn For Women” at the Erotic Screen and Sound Conference on the 17th. While I was pleased that my voice didn’t get quavery, I did end up turning it into a bit of a shambles because I went waaaay over time. I knew the talk was 22 minutes to begin with but I thought I’d Read More …
It’s today. I’m heading to the conference today. And the presentation is on Thursday. Oh god. I can’t believe how much time it took to organise the slides for my presentation. I spent days doing it! I’ve never done this sort of thing before so I’ve learnt how to use Open Office Impress from scratch. I also spent ages scanning in pics and accumulating photos from the internet. I’ve been Read More …
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips’ red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress Read More …
I seem to be doing a lot of travelling and going offline. I’m doing it again now – I have a wedding to attend 2000km away and I’m driving down there. Plus I’m going to see Sting which will be great. I’ve been to every concert of his in Australia since 1993. So the poor blog is neglected again. I’m sure you’ll understand. Please, have a look at past posts Read More …
Last month we did a major photoshoot with a lovely selection of male models. We had them posing in various sexy positions and I also took the opportunity to try and re-create famous artwork and sculptures. Thus, I want to share with you an image of the lovely Martin who is our centerfold at For The Girls this month: We got him to pose in a similar position to that Read More …
Adam Levine, singer from band Maroon 5, has posed almost nude for Cosmopolitan. So naturally the pic is all over the internet. I thought I’d join in the fun, purely to offer a bit of eye candy. Apparently the hands belong to his girlfriend.
So while I’ve been off enjoying a break and then enduring flooding, anti-porn author Gail Dines has continued to wave her promotional flag, heavy as it is with assumptions and untruths. Unfortunately The Guardian likes to give her lots of space to do this. Her latest salvo was from the AVN expo in Las Vegas. Aside from her usual generalisations, she offered this particuarlly offensive paragraph: One of the seminars Read More …
I’m flooded in. I haven’t been posting on my blog or doing much work lately because I’ve a) been on holidays and b) have been very distracted by an unfolding natural disaster over the last few days. Where I live in Australia is suffering the worst flooding in many years. I’m safe but all the roads into my town are cut by floodwater. And yesterday things became so much worse Read More …
This seems a nice way to round out the year – the epic striptease finale from 1997’s The Full Monty. You can’t not smile when you see this. And yes, it IS sexy.
I’m an atheist but I still enjoy Christmas because it means good times with my family. Whatever it means to you, here’s wishing you a fantastic festive season.
Another year has whizzed by and it’s time to do another rundown of all things porn for women in 2010. This year the adult industry has again endured tough times in the face of ever-increasing free content and the dismal global economy. Nonetheless, erotic content for women continues to grow and become more popular. There’s been a real attempt by many in the industry to try and cater to women, Read More …
Just a random Christmas porn post to brighten up the blog.
