The Joy Award: Encouraging Female Perspectives In Porn

I’ve long been a fan of the films of Petra Joy. Now she’s launched The Joy Award, a short film competition that aims to encourage new female filmmakers to create erotic movies. This award is for first time female film-makers who would like to create erotic films that dare to question porn clichés and show sex in innovative and creative ways… The theme of the short film competition is: “What Read More …

Erotica Label Black Lace Shuts Up Shop

The Guardian reports that major erotica publisher Black Lace will not be publishing any new titles in the coming year. The 16-year-old Black Lace imprint specialises in erotica for women, by women, and has sold more than 4m books worldwide, but its publisher, Virgin Books – part of the publishing giant Random House – has decided to stop commissioning new titles for both itself and its sister imprint, Nexus, which Read More …

Mixing Business With Pleasure

This sexy threesome pic is one of my faves – I love how both the guys are totally focused on her and she’s in the middle of a gorgeous male sandwich. You’ll find more pics from this set at the site Mixing Business With Pleasure. And with that, I’m going to be scarce for a bit. Yes, I’ve already been very scarce as it it on this blog, I’ve been Read More …

An Interview With Emily Dubberley

Emily Dubberley is the editor of Scarlet Magazine and she used to run Cliterati which was a great female-friendly erotica site ages ago. Now she’s got a book out about kinky sex. I found this great interview with her so thought I’d throw up a quick link to it. I tend to sympathise with this comment: Occasionally I’ll get turned on writing about sex, but 99 per cent of the Read More …

Filament Hits The Press: Cue The Predictable Response

A couple of days ago I wrote about Filament, a new erotica magazine for women. Over the last few days the mag has received several mentions in mainstream media. Great PR for Filament but, unfortunately, the same old tired assumtions and discussions are being rehashed. The Daily Mail doesn’t hesitate to come blaring in with assumptions at full mast: Women just don’t respond to visual stimuli in the same way Read More …

New Porn Movies For Women

I’ve just spent a couple of days adding over 30 new film listings to Porn Movies For Women. I’ve created several pages for individual filmmakers and studios including Madison Young, Sweet Sinner and Libido Films. I’m actually a little embarrassed that I hadn’t added Libido Films earlier. The movies made by Marianna Beck over the last decade truly are good quality porn for women starring real-looking people having real orgasms. Read More …

Filament: New Women’s Erotica Magazine

The Independent has a piece about a new women’s erotica magazine being launched in the UK. It’s called Filament and it’s tagline is “the thinking woman’s crumpet.” Suraya Singh is yet another woman who felt that porn wasn’t offering her what she needed so she’s made her own. She’s got fairly negative things to say about existing women’s erotica, so she’s put me offside somewhat, but all power to her Read More …

Paddling The Pink Canoe

Here it is, the little film that kept me very preoccupied last week. “Paddling The Pink Canoe” is a fun look at euphemisms for female masturbation. There are 44 individual slang terms used in the video. If you want the full list, visit the Pink Canoe page at FTG. I originally only intended to make a short 30 second fun video as a promo for For The Girls but then Read More …

Candida Royalle – Porn Pioneer

Found this great video about Candida Royalle on Youtube (via her site). If you’ve never seen any of her films this gives plenty of titillating glimpses into scenes from many of her films, plus a few short interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. I’m surprised Youtube hasn’t deleted it, to be honest. It’s all very raunchy! You’ll find all of Candida’s films on the Femme page at Porn Movies For Women.

Glitter Films – Hot New Zealand Porn!

Just had to do a blog post to draw your attention to Glitter Films. This is a New Zealand adult film production company that has a number of quality DVDs already out there, and more in production. Run by the lovely Astrid, NZs first female porn producer, Glitter Films aim to offer good quality, creative and intelligent films to everyone, be they male, female, gay or straight. Says Astrid on Read More …

Shock! Horror! Bold Font! 66% Of Women Watch Porn

The Sun is practically exploding with excited bold print in this article (and I use the term loosely) about a survey into porn viewing habits. They’ve found that 66% of women watch porn. Well, duh. This is compared to 88% of men, out of a survey of 1000 Sun readers. I must admit, the 66% figure is a lot higher than all the other surveys I’ve seen on this topic, Read More …

Man Of My Dreams

There’s another porn movie for women on the scene. This one is softcore and created by a TV executive, backed by market research. Man Of My Dreams features 7 vignettes with a variety of fantasy men – the fireman, the handyman etc – and is 38 minutes long. The film and its director, Mimi Balfour, scored a decent write up in the National Post. Mimi told the paper: “There was Read More …

Stills From “That’s What I Like”

This week’s update at For The Girls features my new short video “That’s What I Like.” If you’ve been following me on Twitter you’ll know I had a big weekend shooting this movie and an eventful couple of weeks editing it. Now it’s live at FTG and I’m so pleased with it. The official blurb for the movie is: “That’s What I Like” portrays one woman’s individual sexual preferences, in Read More …
