Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
This, my friends, is the full cover of Petra Joy’s new DVD Her Porn 2 which has been unleashed onto the world. Aside from the general fabulousness of this movie, which includes short films from famous directors such as Candida Royalle, Annie Sprinkle, Shine Louise Houston and Maria Beatty, it also includes my film That’s What I Like! Yes folks, it’s finally on DVD, along with the other finalists from Read More …
LIFE LOVE LUST This is the trailer for Erika Lust’s new film Life Love Lust. As you can see it looks amazing – really high production values and interesting imagery galore. I think Erika’s films are the real future of porn: good quality, interesting stories, hot sex. And I also applaud Erika’s unapologetic determination to cater to straight women. The official blurb is: LIFE: After finishing the day in the Read More …
A few more sexy pics for your viewing pleasure, while I’m AWOL
It’s now ten years since I bought my first domain name. This means I’ve been creating erotica online for a whole decade – 2000 to 2010. When I started out I never imagined I’d be doing it for this long, nor that it would take me as far as it has. In the last ten years I’ve seen the online adult industry evolve from single images on slow dial-up to Read More …
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 …
The Star, a Canadian media site, features an article called What Women Are Starting To Want. Starting? Ahem. Anyway, it features an interview with Mimi Balfour who last year made the softcore film Man of My Dreams. The film won a Feminist Porn Award and Mimi says she now has distribution for it through the Sinclair Institute. I’m still having trouble finding it on my usual sites, will keep looking. Read More …
I’m kind of bemused at some of the recent news articles that discuss the idea of women enjoying porn. Since the Oprah show they’ve been popping up here and there and they all seem to breathlessly report the “1 in 3 porn surfers is female” like it’s a brand new phenomenon. It’s not. I’m now approaching a decade of making porn sites and I’ve been catering to an eager female Read More …
It took five weeks but here, finally, is my little doco about the 2009 Berlin Porn Film Festival. It’s a little over 4 minutes and you’ll hear some great comments about feminist porn by some of the fab female directors I met including Shine Louise Houston, Anna Brownfield, Candida Royalle, Anna Span, Petra Joy, Jennifer Lyon Bell and Renee Pornero. Plus a quick cameo from Joe Gallant and footage from Read More …
Someone has helpfully posted the segment on the Oprah show featuring Violet Blue so I’ve finally been able to watch what was said. Violet has posted her feelings about the show on her blog and they’re overwhelmingly positive. I like this bit: Look closely at this show and you’ll notice that Oprah has reframed the entire conversation: we women are not ‘tolerated’ or marginalized for exploring our inhibitions, voicing our Read More …
In the last week Adam and Eve and Candida Royalle have released Petra Joy’s Feeling It to the US market. The film has a new cover, one that’s quite radically different to the old one. As you can see it features a big pic of the female stars all laughing together with champagne. They’re not nude. There are three other pics along the bottom but none are explicit. It’s an Read More …
Anna Brownfield’s amazing indie erotic film The Band has only just been released in the US and is available on Amazon.* The Band opened the Berlin Porn Film Festival and played to 3 sold-out cinemas on the first night. The response from the audience and other filmmakers was overwhelmingly positive. I certainly enjoyed it. This film successfully combines a fully developed narrative arc with plenty of hardcore sex. The explicit Read More …
The mainstream media has featured a number of articles about women and porn recently, most still breathlessly amazed that women enjoy porn. The Telegraph (UK) featured a short piece on the large number of women present at the Berlin Porn Film festival. It also discusses the “PorYes” awards created by Laura Merritt. The SMH has reprinted the article today with comments. I’m still waiting for mine to be moderated. Meanwhile Read More …
Today (November 17) is the big day. The long-awaited Oprah Winfrey show about women and porn is due to be aired. It features Violet Blue, longtime blog friend and advocate of women’s porn. It also has an interview with Jenna Jameson. That bit is to be expected given she’s the big name star but I’m not sure she’s the best example of the way women are changing the industry. The Read More …
This hunky guy looks just a tiny little bit like Twilight star Robert Pattinson. So if you’ve got a bit of a thing for him, he might make a reasonable substitute. Personally, I just think he’s a cute guy. Look at those “fuck me” eyes! Full set of photos available at For The Girls
A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by a journalist from the Spanish media site 20 Minutos. Their article about porn for women is finally out – available here. Unfortunately it’s all in Spanish and – curse my monolingual Aussie heritage – I don’t really know what it says. Except that the photos let me know it’s got comments by Spanish erotic filmmaker Erika Lust. Babelfish to the rescue. Read More …
