It Gets Better… But Why Should It Be Bad In The First Place?
You may have already seen this video by sex advice columnist Dan Savage. In it he and his husband urge gay teens to ignore the bullies at high school because life does get better. Today I also watched this very moving speech by Texas city councillor Joel Burns, discussing his own experiences of bullying and the happy life he’s led since high school: The “It’s Get Better” Project has now Read More …
Lesbian Porn Stars Dish The Dirt
Vice blog has some fascinatingg interviews with four of the main stars of the new wave of authentic lesbian porn – Dylan Ryan, Syd Blakovich, Madison Young and Jiz Lee. These women dish the dirt on what it’s really like to be a porn star, share anecdotes about bodily fluid mishaps and also give their views of feminist porn. Worth reading. Here’s some quotes from Jiz Lee: So you’re sincerely Read More …
By The Way, There Were Straight Films At The Feminist Porn Awards
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 Lesbians Are Making The Porn Of The Future
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while. The results of the 2009 Feminist Porn Awards have given me a bit more motivation. It seems to me that the new wave of queer and dyke porn is showing the rest of the adult industry how porn should work. From the way they treat their talent and audience to the content that is produced, the lesbians are doing things Read More …
These Are Not Sensible Shoes
It’s nearly here. My cousin’s lesbian wedding (ooh, sorry, commitment ceremony) is this Saturday. Which means I’m going to be off with the bridesmaid fairies for a little over a week. I’m going to organise some advance blog posts to keep you entertained, but don’t expect anything pithy. And thus, these shoes. My god. Aren’t they beautiful and terrible? These are the shoes I am wearing as a bridesmaid at Read More …
Lesbians Want Decent Porn
A survey by a site called Gaydar Girls has found that lesbians want to watch more porn, but they find that most of the stuff on offer sucks. Why am I not surprised? This press release says: According to a survey conducted by the leading lesbian networking portal gaydargirls.com, women like their films to be feminine and sexy, with a something of a plot or storyline and loads of on Read More …
Must See: Maria Beatty’s Films
I’ve just finished watching The Black Glove to review it for For The Girls, and I just have to blog about how fantastic the films of Maria Beatty are. This gorgeous filmmaker creates lesbian BDSM movies that are extraordinarily well crafted with a distinct artistic sensibility. The Black Glove has an amazing ethereal quality to it, like you’re watching someone’s dark fantasy come to life. I’m pleased to say that Read More …
Naked Men Are Everywhere In Gay Advertising
I sometimes muse about the way that the nude male body is hidden from public view, but the female form is considered to be public property. Apparently this is not the case in the gay community. MCV has a piece discussing the fact that advertisers targeting gay men almost always resort to using beefcake to sell their wares. Doesn’t matter what the product is, chances are it will be accompanied Read More …
Lesbian Pornography
No, that title doesn’t mean your usual girl-girl, long fingernail stuff. I’m talking about real life lesbians, making porn that reflects their sexuality. Today I stumbled on a rather extensive academic essay entitled The Politics Of Lesbian Pornography. The author looks at the contrast between anti-porn feminism and the work of lesbian filmmakers such as SIR and Fatale Video. The essay seems to date from about 2001. I skimmed through Read More …
Good Dyke Porn
Another authentic lesbian paysite has been launched. Good Dyke Porn is the creation of Canadian filmmaker Bren Ryder. Bren has already created a feature film of the same name and has now decided to make those scenes plus new ones available via a membership site. It’s also got a blog and a few freebie clips. The former is already a good read and the latter are pretty hot. It’s the Read More …
A New Authentic Lesbian Porn Site
When it comes to porn on the internet, the ratios go something like this*: 99.9% of it is produced for men (gay or straight), about 0.95% of it is for straight women and the remaining 0.05% is aimed at a lesbian audience. Up until now there’s only been one full paysite made explicitly for dykes. That’s now changed. Shine Louise Houston, the woman behind indie film company Pink and White Read More …
