Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
On Monday the Melbourne tabloid the Herald Sun ran a dodgy article about an unnamed Australian website. The article is long on self-righteous moralising but extremely light on for names. It asserts that the website is running photos of “teenagers”, that the models are exploited and that the websites charges money to remove photos if the models request it. It also gets very excited about the idea that the site Read More …
While I was away enjoying life a small debate erupted about porn, facials, blowjobs and feminism. It started because Petra Joy wrote this on her blog: A woman receiving head, a woman fucking a guy with a strap-on, a guy tasting his own cum and also to feature female ejaculation – those techniques that show a woman in control might be “feminist porn”. If you want to show cum on Read More …
This month I reviewed Tristan Taormino’s film Chemistry for For The Girls. We’re also featuring an interview with Tristan in our next update which is well worth checking out. Tristan is a sex-positive feminist film maker who I’ve long admired. If you haven’t heard of her before, visit her site Pucker Up. The idea behind Chemistry is to put 7 porn stars in a house for 36 hours and then Read More …
Erika Lust’s film Five Hot Stories For Her was awarded best film for women at the Venus Eline Awards in Berlin last week. The other nominees were Petra Joy’s Female Fantasies and Renee Pornero’s film Viennese. On her blog Petra said that this was the first time an adult awards ceremony has acknowledged porn films made for women (if we don’t count the Good For Her Feminist Film Awards). So Read More …
GayWired has a long article about bisexual male porn stars that I found interesting. I normally don’t pay much attention to gay porn stars but perhaps I should, given that they’re mostly very good looking guys. The article discusses the idea of “gay for pay” and points out that male stars in gay porn are paid a hell of a lot more than in straight porn. They talk to gay-for-pay Read More …
NY Time Out’s Sex Issue has heaps of great reading, including Audacia Ray’s personal discovery of double penetration and a whacky article entitled I Want To Have Sex With My Bicycle. There’s also an online photo survey about what women find sexy. In the interests of science I decided to write down the statistics, unscientific though they are. It’s interesting that I could guess the answers in most cases, although Read More …
Another authentic lesbian paysite has been launched. Good Dyke Porn is the creation of Canadian filmmaker Bren Ryder. Bren has already created a feature film of the same name and has now decided to make those scenes plus new ones available via a membership site. It’s also got a blog and a few freebie clips. The former is already a good read and the latter are pretty hot. It’s the Read More …
This article in the Observer concludes with four quotes by “feminists who have rocked the boat.” The quotes included: “In a patriarchal society all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to give meaningful consent” – Catherine MacKinnon, feminist author (attributed) “When a woman reaches orgasm with a man she is only collaborating with the patriarchal system, eroticising her own oppression.” – Sheila Jeffreys, Read More …
A Canadian man had the bright idea of putting porn pictures on the bottom of pizza boxes, to be revealed slowly as each slice was eaten. The big shock-horror aspect of this story is that most of his customers are female. “It’s about 75 to 80% female that are placing the orders and are taking orders at the door,” he said. There’s also a “think of the children” backlash. Of Read More …
Some of you may be familiar with PostSecret. It’s a community art blog where people post secrets in the form of home made postcards. This week’s list featured the above card. Funny that liking porn should be considered a shameful secret by some women. I was musing about the sentiment: “I watch more porn than all of my guy friends.” What would I write? I watch more porn than almost Read More …
