My First Premiere

I found my heart beating a little faster this week when the organisers of the Berlin Porn Film Festival sent me their catalogue for the upcoming festival. There it was, my film, scheduled to screen at 6pm on Sunday 25th October, 2009. How completely exciting! I remember the first time I had anything published: it was an erotic story in Australian Women’s Forum in 1997. This film premiere is kind Read More …

How Long Is The Ideal Sex Scene?

In the last week or so I’ve been musing about the length of sex scenes in videos, specifically, what’s too short and what’s too long. I was recently editing a non-exclusive male masturbation vid and, in a frenzy of cuts, got a painfully long 18 minute video down to under 5 minutes. In that space of time I captured the guy fondling himself through his pants, taking them off, becoming Read More …

“Handcuffs” By Erika Lust

Wow. Erika Lust, who produced the amazingly good Five Hot Stories For Her, is working on a new project. And she’s just released this 7 minute short to promote it. The first half is a bit too dark to really work out what’s happening but things hot up at the mid way mark. Just goes to show that a film can be incredibly erotic without going into too much explicit Read More …

HBO Series About Women’s Porn Mag

Reuters reports that HBO are creating a half-hour television series about an old-school feminist who starts a porn magazine for women. The concept will examine all the feminism versus “raunch culture” ideas and will star Diane Keaton in the lead role (and as executive producer). “We’ve came a long way since the Kinsey report; women are more sexual now,” said Noxon, referring to Alfred Kinsey’s controversial 1953 report “Sexual Behavior Read More …

CNN Covers Women And Porn

I should have blogged about this on the weekend but I was busy with a festival. In any case, the mainstream media are on the trail of women and porn again, thanks to this article by Violet Blue on CNN. Today it featured on the front page with a resulting surge in interest. The piece gives a positive overview of the statistics and the reasons why more women are watching Read More …

The Joy Award: Encouraging Female Perspectives In Porn

I’ve long been a fan of the films of Petra Joy. Now she’s launched The Joy Award, a short film competition that aims to encourage new female filmmakers to create erotic movies. This award is for first time female film-makers who would like to create erotic films that dare to question porn clichés and show sex in innovative and creative ways… The theme of the short film competition is: “What Read More …

ABC Nightline To Feature Porn For Women

On Thursday 11th June “Nightline” on ABC in the US will feature a story on porn for women. Candida Royalle and Nica Noelle from Sweet Sinner are due to be interviewed. If we’re lucky – very lucky – For The Girls MIGHT get a mention. Not sure on this, especially since being in Australia makes it harder to contact us due to differing time zones. I’m not sure what angle Read More …

New Porn Movies For Women

I’ve just spent a couple of days adding over 30 new film listings to Porn Movies For Women. I’ve created several pages for individual filmmakers and studios including Madison Young, Sweet Sinner and Libido Films. I’m actually a little embarrassed that I hadn’t added Libido Films earlier. The movies made by Marianna Beck over the last decade truly are good quality porn for women starring real-looking people having real orgasms. Read More …

This Is Why We Need Porn For Women

I’m updating Porn Movies For Women with a whole bunch of new movies and filmmakers. One new and exciting studio I’m adding is Sweet Sinner run by Nica Noelle. I’m waiting on review copies and really looking forward to seeing the films as they sound really promising. The Stepmother is the first film from Nica. I went surfing around several online stores to see where the film was available and Read More …

Candida Royalle – Porn Pioneer

Found this great video about Candida Royalle on Youtube (via her site). If you’ve never seen any of her films this gives plenty of titillating glimpses into scenes from many of her films, plus a few short interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. I’m surprised Youtube hasn’t deleted it, to be honest. It’s all very raunchy! You’ll find all of Candida’s films on the Femme page at Porn Movies For Women.

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 …
