Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Something has been bugging me for a long time now, so I’m going to have a little rant about it. It seems that there are a lot of people out there who don’t like the term “porn for women.” I realise this – and I’ve discussed the ins and outs of it plenty of times on the blog. But I’m just gonna have to talk about it again. The thing Read More …
Alt porn is the new black. Or it was the new black – some say that it’s been commercialised beyond coolness so now it’s more of a new brown. In any case, there are now plenty of alternative gothic porn sites out there featuring naked chicks with tattos and piercings (see Quirky Sex for examples). The problem with the new black is that it’s still the same ol’ same ol’ Read More …
Here’s a pic from one of the new couples galleries at For The Girls. It’s a lovely set of photos with lots of intimacy and eye contact – and it starts with him serenading her with a guitar. I thought I’d best whack up a nice porn pic to keep you all placated… all of you… all of my thousands of readers out there… er… hello? Anyway, I’ve been slack Read More …
I’ve now watched Erika Lust’s debut film Five Hot Stories For Her and I have to say I’m very impressed. This film won movie of the year at the Feminist Porn Awards and I think it deserved it. Certainly this film now shares a spot on my “all time favourites” list. Five Hot Stories For Her is a pretty good title. This movie has consists of five individual short films, Read More …
Surfing around today I was slightly startled to discover that women’s porn sites have been the subject of a very serious academic paper. Women’s Porno: The heterosexual female gaze in porn sites “for women” by Terrie Schauer is an 18 page article first published in the journal Sexuality and Culture two years ago. Here’s the abstract: The article deals with a number of Internet sites claiming to specialize in providing Read More …
I’m having a busy couple of days, so here’s a quickie post featuring a hot couple getting it on to tide you over.
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 …

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 …
I told myself I wasn’t going to write about the Porn for Women book anymore because I’m sick of feeding their first page Google ranking while my blog languishes in purgatory for this particular term. But I can’t help it. Today I found the Chronicle Books blog which has a number of posts by the authors of “that book.” One asks women to submit “fantasies” for future books. Readers have Read More …
Every now and again I search Google news for the term “porn for women” just in case someone has mentioned women’s erotica in the news. It’s popping up rather heavily at the moment but, unfortunately, the subject isn’t about porn. The cause of all the fuss is that damn Porn For Women book which features clothed men doing housework, combined with captions like “That’s OK honey, I’ll do the dishes.” Read More …
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 …
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 …
There’s an interview with Candida Royalle at The Gazette which is a Canadian student publication. A snippet: She feels in order for women to see the kind of adult films they want to see, they need to wrest the reigns of production away from the “lowlife, no talent creeps†and create films they approve of, would want women to see and that make them feel good about themselves sexually. “We’re Read More …
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 …
