Feminist Porn Awards Fallout

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 …

Female Fantasies At The London Gay And Lesbian Film Festival

The London Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, hosted by the BFI, featured a special selection of female-focused and produced erotica. Under the banner “Female Fantasies”, the festival screened a number of erotic shorts by female filmmakers, including Petra Joy. From festival website: A new wave of feminist pornographers explore authentic onscreen sexuality with humour, edge, and style. Celebrating bisexual and lesbian women’s fantasies, they are not afraid to cross genre Read More …

“Feeling It” Is Fantastic

On the weekend I watched Petra Joy’s latest film “Feeling It” and I’m ready to announce that it’s the greatest porn for women movie EVER. Yes, yes, I know that’s what I said about her last film, Female Fantasies, but this is a NEW one. And I don’t think I’ve got enough rampant adjectives to describe how fantastic I think this movie is. It’s lush, it’s sensual, it’s raunchy, it’s Read More …

Feminist Porn Awards 2008

I got a bit of a surprise when I visited Good For Her and discovered that they’ve moved the date for the feminist porn awards forward by two months. Which is why I haven’t mentioned anything about this year’s awards before this. Unfortunately my friend Chanelle Gallant has left the store so I’m a bit out of the loop now. Anyway, the 2008 Feminist Porn Awards will be announced on Read More …

New At Porn Movies For Women

Once again I’ve updated Porn Movies For Women and added a bunch of new Playgirl titles (as per usual… they really do churn them out, you know.) I’m very pleased to be able to include Erika Lust’s film Five Hot Stories For Her which is now available on Hot Movies. And there’s also All About Anna, the Danish production that is a step forward in film, successfully combining serious drama Read More …

Cinekink: Women Behind The Lens

The recent Cinekink erotic film festival in New York featured a panel discussion called “Women Behind The Lens” featuring Candida Royalle, Audacia Ray and Julie Simone. There’s a video of the whole discussion here. I haven’t watched it yet because I just don’t have the time today but it’s there if you’re interested. Audacia has blogged about her participation here. Both she and Cory Silverberg question the validity of the Read More …

Naughty And Uncensored

Naughty And Uncensored is the latest release from the Playgirl/Wicked studios. I’m not sure exactly how naughty and uncensored it will be, but this is the first time those scary flies-eyes sunglasses have appeared on their covers. Here’s the official blurb: Hidden in the deepest recesses of each of us is a secret. A desire to share our wildest moments with another. What holds you back? Why do you censor Read More …

Handyman Is Hot

I’ve finally got around to watching Tina Tyler’s Handyman and I’m very impressed with it. This is an all-male-masturbation movie with a difference, because this one is totally and uncompromisingly aimed at straight women. The guys (all of them straight) talk to the camera as if it’s a woman watching them jerk off. And all the male stars are very good looking and buffed. There’s a total of ten scenes Read More …

All About Anna Goes Platinum

It took a while but Zentropa/Innocent Pictures erotic film All About Anna has been released in the US, distributed by Wicked. On top of this, the film has officially gone platinum in Europe, selling 30,000 copies in Denmark. I know this because the lovely filmmakers invited me to a gala celebration of the event, which was held at the Museum of Erotica in Copenhagen. I couldn’t go, and not because Read More …

Petra Joy’s “Feeling It” Is Out Soon

Great news. Petra Joy’s third film, Feeling It, is due for release in March 2008. The film also has a website which features some wonderful still photos from the movie and information about the stars. There are some hot new amateur performers involved who were recruited from Europe during Petra’s travels. A few excerpts from the site: Petra’s motto “Feeling it, not faking it!” is being embraced passionately by the Read More …

Bah Humbug: AVN Awards Announced

The AVN awards for 2008 have been announced and, disappointingly, Candida Royalle’s Afrodite Superstar only received one award, for Best Music, despite receiving a large number of nominations. It’s a real shame that so few other female-friendly films got up, especially considering the huge number of movies that were nominated this year – I made a full list here. Instead, awards went to such quality productions as Face Full of Read More …

Using Male Nudity To Promote Walk Hard

Well, this could be a first. Actress Jenna Fischer is promoting her new film to women by pointing out that it’s full of full frontal male nudity. The film, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, is a spoof of music bios like Walk The Line and, having watched the trailer, I think it looks pretty funny. I’m not sure where all the nudity comes in and I’m not so sure Read More …

Newest Porn Movies For Women

I’ve spent most of today updating Porn Movies For Women. There were a lot of new movies to add and I’m still writing up some reviews. But I thought I’d do a post on Ms Naughty about some of the female friendly adult films that have recently been released. The Personal Touch Series: Playgirl sex educator Jamye Waxman has moved into making adult films and has created an instructional series Read More …

Female Friendly AVN Nominations – Titles To Root For

In Australia, “rooting” is a euphemism for having sex. So we’ve long giggled whenever an American says “I’m rooting for ___ to win.” Now I can use it in a title… and I’m giggling. Anyway, the AVN award nominations have been announced and it’s another year of the same ol’ same ol’. Even the “alternative” category is laced with productions by big name companies like Penthouse and Playboy and is Read More …
