Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
The nominations for the 2012 Feminist Porn Awards have been announced and I’m pleased to say that my new feature The Thought Of Her has been nominated. I’m in good company. Well-known directors like Erika Lust, Petra Joy, Tristan Taormino, Courtney Trouble and Nica Noelle appear in the list along with a large number of new names. I think I’m going to have to do some research and find out Read More …
I just realised that I haven’t actually blogged about the news: my short film Fucking Is The Only Prayer has been nominated for a 2011 Feminist Porn Award. I’m rather chuffed. I suspect it won’t win as it’s only short and there isn’t a short film category. But it’s nice to be listed. I submitted For The Girls to be considered for a website award but it didn’t make the Read More …

I’m a very grumpy blogger this week, as you’ll know if you’ve been reading my Twitter stream. I had every intention of flying to Canada to finally attend the Feminist Porn Awards this year. I’ve supported the awards since the very beginning and wanted to be there, especially as For The Girls is nominated for best website. Alas, our best website is what has kept me here. I’m now into Read More …
Good For Her have announced the official list of nominees for the 2010 Feminist Porn Awards. I’m pleased to say that For The Girls has been nominated for Best Website. Here’s some info from their press release: But wait, what is feminism doing getting into bed with porn? At Good For Her, we are feminists and we sell and rent porn. In 2006 we decided that it’s not enough to Read More …
Alison and the good people at Good For Her have sent out a press release concerning next year’s Feminist Porn Awards. They’re planning to create a jury of members of the public to help judge the films, which is an excellent initiative. You can find out how to become a jury member here. They’ve also initiated a scholarship for new and upcoming feminist porn filmmakers (hmm… sounds familiar), the Emerging Read More …
I hate being late to the party with these things but I’ve only just heard about the European Feminist Porn Award which is being held on Saturday 17th October in Berlin. Yes… I’m going to miss them, dammit, but despite my general divineness and best efforts at omnipresence I’ve discovered that I just can’t be everywhere at once. So this is essentially a party and film night to honour the Read More …
Here’s a relatively long video report from the Feminist Porn Awards, held on the 25th April. The video is by Xtra which is a queer friendly site and it gives some great interviews from award participants. What it doesn’t do, however, is give the viewer a complete picture of the awards, mainly because it focuses solely on the queer performers. And I’ve noticed that in the last week, almost all Read More …
The winners of the Feminist Porn Awards 2009 have been announced and, damn, if lesbians haven’t made off with a swag of awards this time around! The winners were presented with their awards at a gala evening on Friday the 24th, followed by a screening of some of the winning films on Saturday. The Full List of Winners Hottest Kink Movie Perversions of Lesbian Lust Vol.1 | Madison Young; Madison Read More …
The Feminist Porn Awards are about to kick off in Toronto and I’m wishing I could be there for the screenings, workshops and awards. Meanwhile, the enevitable “witty” comments are starting to appear. The awards are in their fourth year now, so I’d just like say that folks, your oh-so-clever remarks about how feminism and porn are a contradiction in terms are getting a bit old. We’ve heard them all Read More …
Just wanted to get the word out that For The Girls is now a sponsor of the Good For Her 2009 Feminist Porn Awards! This is the first time we’ve done anything like this and we’re just so pleased to be involved. The FPAs are a celebration of female friendly porn, preferably made by women. So we’re on the same page philosophically. Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to Read More …
Just a quickie post which I’ll expand on Monday when I have time: Good For Her has released the list of nominees for the Feminist Porn Awards 2009. My little short, That’s What I Like, is listed. This is fab, but I should reveal the facts behind it. I’ve actually withdrawn the film from competition because For The Girls decided to sponsor the awards after I’d posted off the movie. Read More …
Nominations have opened for the Good For Her Feminist Porn Awards for 2009. Submissions close February 24.
Following last weekend’s Feminist Porn Awards, there’s been the inevitable debate about whether feminist porn can even exist. Violet Blue’s SFGate column discusses the idea and at the time of writing there are no less than 806 comments. I have only read the first 6… it’s too nice a day to even consider going through the rest. There’s also a high-falutin’ discussion at Finally Feminism 101. This one is interesting Read More …
