Violet Blue On Oprah

Someone has helpfully posted the segment on the Oprah show featuring Violet Blue so I’ve finally been able to watch what was said. Violet has posted her feelings about the show on her blog and they’re overwhelmingly positive. I like this bit: Look closely at this show and you’ll notice that Oprah has reframed the entire conversation: we women are not ‘tolerated’ or marginalized for exploring our inhibitions, voicing our Read More …

Candida Releases “Feeling It” Plus More Porn Movies For Women

In the last week Adam and Eve and Candida Royalle have released Petra Joy’s Feeling It to the US market. The film has a new cover, one that’s quite radically different to the old one. As you can see it features a big pic of the female stars all laughing together with champagne. They’re not nude. There are three other pics along the bottom but none are explicit. It’s an Read More …

The Post Oprah Washup

So it’s been almost a week since Oprah did her porn show. I haven’t had a chance to watch it so I can’t comment but it seems the response is not as positive as we’d like it to have been. This seems due to the fact that the show relied heavily on an interview with Jenna Jameson. Reading comments in the Oprah forums after the show had aired, I was Read More …

Videos From The Petra Joy Awards

Petra has uploaded these videos shot on the 24th October at the Joy Awards. And here’s snippets from the winning films including mine: Part of me is mortified at how I look on that video. There’s a reason I’ve been anonymous all these years and it’s not just privacy or safety. I’m also kicking myself because I had a fabulous necklace and earrings ready to wear on the night and Read More …

“The Band” Is Now On Amazon

Anna Brownfield’s amazing indie erotic film The Band has only just been released in the US and is available on Amazon.* The Band opened the Berlin Porn Film Festival and played to 3 sold-out cinemas on the first night. The response from the audience and other filmmakers was overwhelmingly positive. I certainly enjoyed it. This film successfully combines a fully developed narrative arc with plenty of hardcore sex. The explicit Read More …

What A Guy

Pardon me while I swoon just a little. Captain Dominic James, who was formerly a nominee for Cleo Bachelor of the Year, is being lauded as a hero after successfully ditching his jet in the sea off Norfolk Island, saving all on board. The plane was critically low on fuel after being unable to land and so the hunky pilot took the plane down in 1.5 metre seas. Only three Read More …

Journos and Commenters Offer Cynicism De Jour

On Sunday celebrity sex blogger Belle De Jour outed herself as research scientist Dr. Brooke Magnanti. The media has since gone beserk over the story and I won’t repeat it all here. What I have been doing is trawling through the stories on Google news and one thing keeps popping out at me: a lot of commenters refuse to believe that Dr. Magnanti doesn’t regret her foray into prostitution. They’re Read More …

The DIY Facial

What to make of this photo. It’s a guy masturbating in a slightly acrobatic position and ejaculating onto his own face. Is it sexy or not? I’ve already stated my objection to the ubiquitousness and sexism that seems inherent in many facial cumshots in porn. I do hate that bit where the woman kneels and looks stupid while the guy jerks off and ejaculates on her face. But a guy Read More …

Porn For Women In The News

The mainstream media has featured a number of articles about women and porn recently, most still breathlessly amazed that women enjoy porn. The Telegraph (UK) featured a short piece on the large number of women present at the Berlin Porn Film festival. It also discusses the “PorYes” awards created by Laura Merritt. The SMH has reprinted the article today with comments. I’m still waiting for mine to be moderated. Meanwhile Read More …

Today Oprah Talks Women And Porn

Today (November 17) is the big day. The long-awaited Oprah Winfrey show about women and porn is due to be aired. It features Violet Blue, longtime blog friend and advocate of women’s porn. It also has an interview with Jenna Jameson. That bit is to be expected given she’s the big name star but I’m not sure she’s the best example of the way women are changing the industry. The Read More …

In Which Ms Naughty Returns

I’m back. I’ve actually been back in Australia for a week but it’s taken me 7 days to drive home from Sydney, visit a bunch of people on the way and recover from jetlag. Or try to recover – I was up at 5.30am this morning, listening to the familiar birdcalls and feeling excited about getting back into work. I’m particularly keen to edit my video taken at the Berlin Read More …
