Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
[flashvideo file=”video/labyrinth.flv” /] In 2005 I wrote about my love of the film Labyrinth. I also re-discovered the wonder that is David Bowie’s crotch. If you haven’t seen Labyrinth, it’s basically a fantasy film created for young adults by Jim Henson (may peace be on his name). It’s got a lot of muppets, puppets and humour. It’s also chock full of sexual tension between Jennifer Connolly’s female protagonist and the Read More …
My decision has been made. At the end of October I’m going to attend the 2009 Berlin Porn Film Festival and see the European premiere of my film. It’s a shame I’ll miss the Melbourne festival but in the end the Berlin fest is the one more suited to my own work. My mind was made up when I saw that the BPFF will be focusing extensively on the work Read More …
The other day I visited one of the local video rental shops, a store I haven’t been to in a while. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs sitting unabashedly on the drama shelves. This is a small town, after all, and sexually explicit “art films” are a bit thin on the ground. I haven’t had a chance to see Shortbus, Destricted or any of those other 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 I’ve actually withdrawn the film from competition because For The Girls decided to sponsor the awards after I’d posted off the movie.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 …
Good news for female porn fans in the US – Petra Joy has revealed on her blog that Feeling It is going to be distributed in America through Candida Royalle’s Femme line of films, and Adam and Eve. I know Petra’s had a hell of a time trying to get her films out to the public, with numerous potential distributors either going broke or else trying to impose inappropriate ideas Read More …
My poor blog has been neglected for a week now, but I like to think I’ve got a good excuse. I’m currently editing the footage from my first ever video shoot which occurred over the weekend. It involved a heap of planning beforehand and a very busy couple of days in the city. It was my first time directing and working behind the camera. I’m pleased to say that whole Read More …
Phew! Today I spent waaay too much time updating Porn Movies For Women. I’ve actually added a total of 21 new titles to the listing, which is pretty impressive considering it’s only been two months since I last updated it. I created a new page for Kelly Holland’s Chick Media, which last year released four titles including the MySexTherapist series. The first one earned her the Sexiest Straight Film at Read More …
Tomorrow marks the start of another wonderful erotic film festival, this time in the Netherlands. The Rated-X Alternative Erotica Film Festival features a fascinating variety of unusual, artistic and very sexy films offering a very different view of sexuality and porn. It’s almost the exact opposite of what was recently on show at the AVN awards. At the Berlin Porn Film Festival I was very lucky to meet one of Read More …
So the 2009 AVN Awards and Expo have come and gone and, as before, there’s nothing new to report. The industry has successfully patted itself on the back for producing more of the same. The only award worth mentioning was the one given to Tristan Taormino for her Expert Guide to Oral Sex: Fellatio. Innocent Pictures’ All About Anna didn’t win anything despite several nominations. It’s kind of depressing that Read More …
MSNBC has a relatively balanced article on the rise of female executives within the porn industry. The author goes to a fair bit of effort to point out how women are trying to make porn better. Surprisingly, many women who work in the business say they don’t like porn — at least not the porn that takes up most of the shelf space in adult stores or is downloaded from Read More …
(Youtube video no longer works and has been removed from this post). Tony and Peggy have finally released their sixth wonderful real sex film, Bill and Desiree: Love Is Timeless. Judging from this preview, it looks just as interesting and visually sumptuous as their previous efforts. Right now they’re offering a discount for early orders. Click here to find out more. Edit 4th December Youtube have removed the Comstock preview Read More …
The 54 page list of AVN Awards Nominations has been released and yes, I wasted too much of my precious time scrolling through it this afternoon. There isn’t much to report really; AVN has once again nominated the standard selection of big-name porn movies and the same old stars as part of the industry’s yearly orgy of self-congratulation. Innovation or new ideas don’t really get much of a look in Read More …
It’s taken far too long but I’ve finally posted my video and report of my adventures at the Berlin Porn Film Festival. I was held up waiting for permission and excerpts from some of the films and unfortunately most of those I contacted didn’t reply. It’s a shame because I saw so much talent on display at the festival and I was eager to give those people a bit of Read More …
Teat Beat of Sex: Kirby (“I was always afraid of big dicks…” Dirty Little Shorts: The Letter C (C is for cameltoe…) I saw a lot of fantastic short films at the Berlin Porn Film Festival. The two above featured in the “Fun Porn” program and, as you can see, they’re more fun than porn. Which kind of sums up the whole festival; anyone who attended thinking it would be Read More …
Maybe I’m just more aware of porn festivals since I went to Berlin, but it seems they’re popping up everywhere. This weekend sees the second Pornotopia Feminist Porn Film Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Petra’s Feeling It and Erika’s Five Hot Stories For Her are featured, as is Audacia’s funny new short Dacia’s Love Machine. The weekend we got to Paris saw the first ever Paris Porn Film Festival… which Read More …
