Ice Cube Erotica
Mmm, I like this photo. It’s very playful. The whole set of images features a bit of kinky fun using icecubes in an outdoor setting. Pic is from Love Buzz, a free site from For The Girls.
Figleaf On Women, Porn and Sex
Figleaf has made an interesting post about porn for women here. He’s suggesting that society thinks that most women aren’t really interested in sex – he’s calls it the “no-sex class” and that this is a reason why it may be difficult to define “porn for women.” I won’t do a big post here because I wrote a lengthy comment on his blog. I do think it’s an interesting idea Read More …
Now They’re Pushing Romance Novel Addiction
I just had to laugh at the opinion piece by Shaunti Feldhahn proclaiming the serious dangers women face if they read romance novels. I was concerned to learn that many romance novels are not as harmless as they look. In fact, some marriage therapists caution that women can become as dangerously unbalanced by these books’ entrancing but distorted messages as men can by distorted messages of pornography. Oh my God! Read More …
Annie Sprinkle And The Anti-Porn Feminist
Annie Sprinkle has published the transcript of a cheerful conversation held with anti-porn feminist Mae Tyme. Annie is a legend of sex-positive activism. Mae is a radical lesbian who feels that porn is a tool of the patriarchy. It makes for great reading. Mae: The truth is that you and I do view pornography very differently. You view it as an avenue to independence, joy, freedom, fun… Annie: ….education, harmony, Read More …
Rape: What Grey Area?
The Sydney Morning Herald has a blog called All Men Are Liars which discusses men’s issues. In the beginning it was a bit of a lad’s mag, but one year on it’s become one of the best reads in the paper. The author Sam De Brito often initiates discussions that the best feminists would be proud of. I find it a lot more interesting than the alleged “women’s blog” at Read More …
Women Like Porno Pizza
A Canadian man had the bright idea of putting porn pictures on the bottom of pizza boxes, to be revealed slowly as each slice was eaten. The big shock-horror aspect of this story is that most of his customers are female. “It’s about 75 to 80% female that are placing the orders and are taking orders at the door,” he said. There’s also a “think of the children” backlash. Of Read More …
Body Hair: The Battle That Feminism Lost?
This month’s feature article at For The Girls is about body hair and hair removal. In reading various articles on the topic I saw it described as “the battle that feminism lost” and I found myself musing about the current state of play when it comes to women and their furry bits. Fact is, depilation has never been more fashionable. I saw statistics suggesting that 99% of women have removed Read More …
Post Secret Porn
Some of you may be familiar with PostSecret. It’s a community art blog where people post secrets in the form of home made postcards. This week’s list featured the above card. Funny that liking porn should be considered a shameful secret by some women. I was musing about the sentiment: “I watch more porn than all of my guy friends.” What would I write? I watch more porn than almost Read More …

Surprise! I’m An NC-17 Blog
Dating site Mingle has come up with a very viral way of getting themselves out there – this automatic blog rater. Unsurprisingly, Ms Naughty is an NC-17 blog according to their American-based rating system. They came to this conclusion because: This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words: * porn (19x) * sex (3x) * sexy (1x) I feel kind of disappointed. Surely they could have Read More …
Speeding Men And Small Penises
This is the new anti-speeding ad from the NSW government. It shows women holding up their pinky fingers after young men engage in hoony behaviour in their cars, speeding off and doing burnouts. I have to say, I like it, if only because it’s similar to a joke I’ve been making for ages whenever a young bloke decides to hit the gas nearby. “Uh-oh,” I’ll say. “Looks like his giant Read More …
Interview With Emily Dubberley
Nouse Magazine has an article about women making money from sex – lingerie, sex therapy and erotic writing. Featured is Emily Dubberley, creator of Cliterati and editor of Scarlet Magazine, the UK womens mag that features a lot of erotic fiction. “I was pissed off and thought that there should be some out there. I chatted to about 200–300 women over a year, asking, ‘What do you want in a Read More …
Pole Dancing Ad Survives Complaints
A few weeks ago I wrote about the Nando’s pole dancing mother ad. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s been the subjects of numerous complaints to the Australian Advertising Standards Bureau. I’m pleased to say that they’ve given the ad the thumbs up. The Sydney Morning Herald reports: The board of the Advertising Standards Bureau agreed, ruling that pole dancing was ” … a popular form of exercise” and “was not incompatible with Read More …
Top 10 Heavy Metal Crotches
I’ve created a list of my top 10 heavy metal crotches, featuring videos of guys showing off their wares via extremely tight pants. I used to be a metal fan when I was 16. I’ve actually been working on this list for nearly two months. I can’t believe how long it’s taken me to finish it. The big problem was that I ended up surfing YouTube for hours at a Read More …
Torchwood: Gay Science Fiction
We Aussies have only just begun to watch Torchwood, the Doctor Who spinoff series from the BBC, and I’m damned impressed. What really stands out is that this series is unashamedly bisexual and/or gay. We’re only up to the second episode and already there’s been two same-sex kisses. In episode one the guy uses his special alien sex spray to pick up a woman at a bar. Things go pear-shaped Read More …
