Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
A couple of years ago I expressed disappointment that Naomi Wolf had come out and declared “modesty” in the form of religious veiling to be feminist. Before that I was sick of her endlessly recycled article on porn. Now she’s touring Australia and is once again talking porn, this time in an interview in the Sydney Morning Herald. I waded in, begrudgingly and emerged with mixed feelings about what she Read More …
I’ve long considered the idea of “porn addiction” to be bullshit. Now I’ve got another example of just how bullshit it is. Dirty Girls Ministries (I’m not going to link to them) is a new website created by evangelical Christian group the Westside Family Church. It aims to “help women struggling with pornography addiction” through “confession, prayer support, resources for accountability and many other tools.” Yes folks, the loony Christians Read More …
I have a number of really long-winded blog posts that I need to write but I’ve been busy doing other things the last couple of days. So in order that the blog doesn’t look too dead, I thought I’d whack up a couple of sexy pictures. I want to see more guys wearing glasses in porn. It’s sexy. And I’ve just written an erotic story for For The Girls about Read More …

Tristan is due to speak tomorrow at the campus. Her presentation is called “My Life As a Feminist Pornographer” and will feature clips from her films. According to the Examiner, The Anscombe Society is a student organization at Princeton University Read More …
Trying to clean out my office cupboard I came across a Magnamail catalogue from about 1988. Amid its many stunning mail-order items was this ad for a “Cordless Super Massager.” Yes folks, that’s a great big bendy dong vibrator. I especially enjoy the line: “Shaped to fit under the skin around the eyes and brows where wrinkles occur.” At least in 2010 we don’t have to pretend that a big Read More …
Monday, April 26 was the first official Boobquake This strangely viral event was first suggested by atheist feminist Jennifer McCreight on her blog Blag Hag. Jen’s suggestion was inspired by the nonsense spouted by an Islamic cleric suggesting that women’s immodesty caused earthquakes. Her original blog post reads: This little bit of supernatural thinking has been floating around the blogosphere today: “Many women who do not dress modestly … lead Read More …
These lovely little plants are from the genus Clitoria, commonly known as the Butterfly Pea. Obviously the garden term isn’t as sexy as the official scientific name. Clearly the scientists were feeling a little horny on the day they named this flower. According to Wikipedia: This genus was named after the human female clitoris, for the flowers bear a resemblance to female pudenda. Originally the first described species of the Read More …
I used to be a librarian. Some people are surprised that I then became a pornographer but a newly released survey shows that librarians are actually very sexy people. Way back in 1992, Will Manley conducted a survey of over 5000 librarians, asking a slew of very personal questions about sex. The Wilson Library Bulletin refused to run it so now, after all this time, he’s posted the results on Read More …
LIFE LOVE LUST This is the trailer for Erika Lust’s new film Life Love Lust. As you can see it looks amazing – really high production values and interesting imagery galore. I think Erika’s films are the real future of porn: good quality, interesting stories, hot sex. And I also applaud Erika’s unapologetic determination to cater to straight women. The official blurb is: LIFE: After finishing the day in the Read More …
Sexy genderqueer porn star Jiz Lee has started a special side project for charity called Karma Pervs. The idea is that each month she’ll be offering an exclusive photoset of herself plus a number of extras to members. She’ll then use the money raised for worthy causes, such as the Stop AIDS Project. The price is $7.99 for a month. Because it’s new you won’t get many back issues for Read More …
I’m helping a friend out with his online bookshop today which means I’ve spent several hours cataloguing books and wishing I had time to read them all. I’m pleased to say I’ve encountered a number of great books about sex but the one I’m dying to get my hands on is Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Sex & Science by Mary Roach. This is a book that offers you a Read More …
This is too amusing to not blog about: figures from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research show that more assaults, thefts and sexual assaults occurred in churches than in adult entertainment premises in Australia in 2008. A breakdown of the figures showed that 85 people were assaulted in places of worship, compared to 66 at an adult entertainment premises. According to the report, places of worship include churches, Read More …

Stanford Magazine reports on the extraordiary discovery of a sex survey conducted in the 1890s by Dr. Clelia Duel Mosher, a professor at that university. The good Dr. collected questionaires asking women to reveal their intimate thoughts on sex. It’s now the earliest known sex survey on record and reveals some surprising information about Victorian-era women. The Mosher Survey recorded not only women’s sexual habits and appetites, but also their Read More …
