Tips For Aspiring Writers

In the wake of For The Girls’ fourth erotic fiction competition, I feel the need to make a post urging aspiring authors to follow a few simple rules when writing erotic fiction. I feel this because, even though there were plenty of absolutely gorgeous and cleverly written short stories entered, there were also plenty of bombs. Yes folks, there are people out there who fancy themselves as masters of the Read More …

Erika Lust and the Barcelona Sex Project

Erika Lust’s latest film The Barcelona Sex Project is a documentary-style erotic movie that aims to enlighten as well as arouse. The film features three men and three women talking about their hobbies, their work, their passions and their sex lives, after which they masturbate on camera. I thought it was a wonderfully engaging movie, one that was both interesting and sexy. My review of the film is appearing at Read More …

Erotic Literature Becomes Thought Crime

Today’s depressing censorship/thought crime news is that a woman has been sentenced to five years of probation for writing sex stories. Yes folks, for writing fiction. I’ve already posted about this case. It’s difficult to speak out in defense of the author because the stories depicted child abuse, violence and rape – that’s why the government went after Karen Fletcher and her site Red Rose Stories. But this case sets Read More …

Oprah Does Porn, Gamelink Gets Female-Friendly

On Monday, the theme of the Oprah Winfrey show was “237 Reasons To Have Sex”. One segment on it was a relatively lengthy discussion of the usefulness of porn in spicing up a sex life. They also discussed the fact that women like porn and that – apparently – “in the $12 billion adult entertainment industry, $1 out of every $4 is spent by a woman.” And Dr. Schwartz agrees Read More …

Erotic Spelling Bees and Other Hot Movies For Women

I’ve updated Porn Movies For Women again and added another batch of hot female-friendly titles. Sex Spells is the latest from the Playgirl factory. Interestingly, it isn’t about an erotic spelling bee, although dammit, that’s one hell of a cool idea. Lennox Films, the offshoot of Inpulse responsible for the outrageously boring Ranch House Lust has a new film out called Intense Desires which promises a sex therapist, fantasy role Read More …

Dirty, Dirty Girls

Last week I reviewed the new erotica for women book Dirty Girls for For The Girls. In a previous post I expressed concern at the cliquey comments on the back, but I’m pleased to say that the inside is fabulous. Don’t judge a book by its cover! The collection is chock full of naughty sexual adventures starring women who aren’t afraid to enjoy themselves. These are dirty girls indeed, greedy Read More …

A Porn Photo For Women

I’ve been writing a lot of very wordy posts lately, getting off topic and not giving you nearly enough porn. So here’s a nice dirty pic for you to enjoy. It’s also given me an excuse to offer up a Google-friendly title for the post. And, looking at it, I think it’s a good example of porn for women because a) It shows a woman receiving pleasure and that is Read More …

A New Wave Erotica Film From Australia

A couple of years ago Anna Brownfield made waves when her film The Money Shot won numerous awards at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival. When the ABC show Mondo Thingo decided to do a piece on “chick porn” they interviewed Anna as the local representative of the porn for women movement.* Now Anna is about to release her first full-on porn film called The Band. Set in the grungy Melbourne Read More …

Erika Lust’s Barcelona Sex Project Coming Soon

Erika Lust is about to release her second major film – the Barcelona Sex Project. This documentary-style film is a move away from her plot-based vignettes of Five Hot Stories For Her. A feminist adult movie, created for women by women, the film discloses the private lives and sexuality of six individuals. The project is based on the conviction that women desire to know a person’s inner character (their beliefs, Read More …

For The Girls Turns Five + New Short Story Competition

It’s June again and that means that it’s For The Girls’ birthday! Way back in the mists of time – June 2003 – my friend Jane and I launched our little-porn-site-that-could. We gathered together all our favourite dirty pics and movies, and I collected a whole bunch of my articles and columns, and off we went. We started small, and our first billing company – Globill – collapsed within a Read More …
