New Site: Real Sex Films

I’ve recently put together a small site that features erotic movies that feature real sex. Obviously all of the sex in porn movies is real, not simulated, but that’s not the focus of Real Sex Films. Rather, I wanted to compile a list of movies that either depict sex in a realistic manner or else make use of real couples. “Real” sex in this sense is sex that is not Read More …

It Gets Better… But Why Should It Be Bad In The First Place?

You may have already seen this video by sex advice columnist Dan Savage. In it he and his husband urge gay teens to ignore the bullies at high school because life does get better. Today I also watched this very moving speech by Texas city councillor Joel Burns, discussing his own experiences of bullying and the happy life he’s led since high school: The “It’s Get Better” Project has now Read More …

In 2010, A Prosecution For Procuring An Abortion

Abortion is back in the headlines here in Australia because in Queensland a woman has today gone on trial for procuring an abortion. This is the first such prosecution in the state’s history, even though the law banning abortion was first introduced in 1899. There were several pro choice rallies held around the country in support of Teagan and her boyfriend, although I’m disappointed to say they weren’t well attended. Read More …

Dear Kinky People: Cut Vanilla A Break, Will Ya?

Thanks to Violet Blue, I found myself perusing Franklin Veaux’s Human Sex Map, a very clever visual representation of all the various kinks, fetishes and sexual practices that people enjoy. The map groups together sexual behaviours and depicts them as countries, or mountains, or islands. Thus the Land of D/s includes the counties of Orgasm Denial and Old Leather. I found the map to be quite fascinating and marvelled at Read More …

Does Your Tyre Look Like A… Penis?

Maybe I’ve been in porn too long but I found myself wondering why TyrePlus decided to make this tyre look for all the world like a penis. Because it does. I mean, look at it. You could consider it as a foreshortened cock or perhaps it’s a glans… with tread on it. But it definitely doesn’t look anything like a tyre. Even one that is out of alignment. The ad Read More …

Of Course Fertility Clinics Need Porn

Apparently some media outlets in the UK are up in arms about the fact that fertility clinics give porn mags to men who have to provide sperm samples. Well, duh. They’re probably not going to get those lovely, sticky samples any other way. And the plain fact is, to get the sperm, the guy has to whack off. That in itself probably has the conservatives gripping their rosaries in horror. Read More …

Having Body Hair Does Not Make A Woman “Unkempt”

The Sydney Morning Herald today has an article discussing the Brazilian wax, declaring it to be “here to stay.” While the article doesn’t offer any new information, I found the 100+ comments to be rather fascinating. Specifically, the apparently overwhelming enthusiasm of male commenters towards waxing – and some serious negativity towards female body hair. Some examples: “Brazilians are literally the best thing that has ever happened to the world. Read More …

New Porn For Women Movies

I’ve added new movies and reviews to Porn Movies For Women but I thought I’d also throw a few of the more recent ones into a post here, just in case clicking over to another site feels like too much hard work. The Teacher Nica Noelle has been incredibly busy with her Sweet Sinner line, she’s onto her 30th film! Her movies put female pleasure first and eschew the standard Read More …

The Girl Effect

The Girl Effect is a new project that aims to break povery through the education of young girls. It says that if we can keep a 12 year old girl in school and regularly seeing a doctor, she’s less likely to end up poor or with HIV and that will help to break the poverty cycle. This is a great video, simple but compelling. I should add a link to Read More …

The Dirk Diggler Dick From Boogie Nights Last Scene

This is a screenshot from the final scene of Boogie Nights, the 1997 film set in the 1970s – the “golden age of porn”. It features Mark Wahlberg as porn star Dirk Diggler, a role loosely based on the life of John Holmes, possibly the world’s most famous woodsman. Throughout the movie, viewers are told all about the huge cock but never actually get to see it. In this last Read More …
