Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Not long after I posted about the Australian Sex Party’s press release that the Classification Board were now banning depictions of women with too-small breasts, my friend Michael Meloni wrote something similar on his blog Somebody Think of the Children. His post ended up on social networking site Reddit and from there it went beserk, ending up on hundreds of blogs, The Register, Jezebel, Encore, Crikey and the Sydney Morning Read More …
Thanks to Violet Blue, I’ve been treated to the glory that is the Work Hard, Play Hard fashion shoot. Some genius decided to distract attention from that pesky clothing and focus it all where it belongs – on a man’s crotch. The above photo is my favourite because it’s pure Blue Steel… with a giant woody added. It really is hard to be ridiculously good looking, you know.
The Australian Sex Party has released a statement on their site about the new bans on female ejaculation films (my original post is here). Turns out that squirting is not the only natural aspect of female sexuality that the Classification Board deems obscene. Now small boobs are in the firing line. The Board has also started to ban depictions of small-breasted women in adult publications and films. This is in Read More …
* Does sex sell movies? Not really – I was surprised to find that a Wiccan actress was behind this study. She feels that actresses shouldn’t have to be naked in the name of their art. It’s an interesting idea but her push to remove sex or nudity from film is incredibly sex-negative. It means refusing to portray an important aspect of human experience. The study also doesn’t seem to Read More …
The Times Online has followed up last week’s opinion piece about teens and sex with an article headed Boys who see porn more likely to harass girls. The piece discusses Michael Flood’s report looking at existing research into the effects of porn on adolescents. “There is compelling evidence from around the world that pornography has negative effects on individuals and communities,” he told the Times. Naturally I sat right down Read More …
You may notice that I’ve changed the colour of my header image. My usual cheerful purple has been replaced by black and grey. This is because I’m taking part in the Great Australian Internet Blackout this week (24th-29th). The blackout is part of the ongoing protests against the plan to impose a mandatory internet filter on all Australians. It’s mainly to raise awareness about the issue. I also spent a Read More …

Last year my friend Jamye Waxman disappeared to Jamaica (of her own accord) in order to film a new instructional adult movie. She then amused us on Twitter with her ongoing search to delineate all 101 sex positions featured in this film. I was amazed that she managed to even find 50 positions, let alone 101. There’s only so many places your arms and legs and cock and cunt can Read More …
The new year saw Nevada’s Liquor and Licensing Board approve male prostitutes at the Shady Lady Ranch brothel. Owner Bobbi Davis says she’s had hundreds of applications for the 7 jobs available. Rates start at $200 an hour. Details has a fascinating interview with “Markus” who is going to be the first legal male prostitute employed at the Ranch. The whole interview has a bit of a train smash feel Read More …
This morning I read an opinion piece by Natasha Walter in The Times Online called How Teenage Access To Pornography Is Killing Intimacy In Sex. The headline is pure moral panic but I was surprised to find that this extensive article actually contained a real attempt to be vaguely balanced in its anti-porn argument. Normally these kinds of pieces are all hysteria and generalisations and Dworkin-style feminism. This one went Read More …
The Australian Classification Board has decided to ban any adult films that feature female ejaculation because they deem the liquid expelled during squirting to be urine. Thus, it comes under the umbrella of “water sports” which our good censors deem to be an obscene activity that should never be depicted on film. Never mind that female ejaculation has been scientifically documented. Not all women are able to ejaculate but those Read More …
I’ve received a circular from the Eros Association, the advocacy group for the Australian adult industry. Thanks to shit stirring by a fundamentalist Christian group, the rules have been tightened as to what adult films can be imported into Australia. The Classification Board has explicitly stated that films featuring female ejaculation will now be seized and considered RC – refused classification. Effectively banned. This also means that female ejaculation sites Read More …
New York Press reports on the launch of another indie erotic magazine aimed at straight women. Candy Rain (previously “Ligerbeat“) is the project of three New York women, Callie Watts, “Mama D” and “Yung Ho”. It seems that Callie is the main driving force as she has previously worked for Playgirl before it folded and also helps with Bust magazine. The mag came about because the three joked that they Read More …
I’m thinking that since I spend so much time stuffing around on Twitter and Facebook that I should start doing a weekly roundup of the interesting links I find every day. I don’t want to include any serious commentary as it will take up time and thus not get done. So this is just a “quick n fast” post: “Common old fashioned fuck: $2.50” “Squatting on prick: 62c” Check out Read More …
SPOILER ALERT: Warning! This post is about the film Avatar and may contain spoilers. Stop reading now if you haven’t seen it. Also, stop reading now if your find the idea of alien nipples or hair sex disturbing. I finally saw James Cameron’s Avatar yesterday and I quite liked it. The visual imagery was stunning but I found the plot a little derivative and unoriginal. Where Titanic made me cry Read More …
