So, I’m a bit late with my wrap up of 2006, but here it is. Ms Naughty blog has now been a WordPress blog for a year (although it was a little manual number for 18 months before that).<\/p>\nSo, I’m a bit late with my wrap up of 2006, but here it is.

2006 was a bumper year for women’s porn. It garnered a lot more media attention than previous years and women certainly had a lot more erotic material to choose from.<\/p>\n

\nIn June the Canadian adult store Good For Her introduced the first ever Feminist Porn Awards, handing out gongs to Candida Royalle, Tristan Taormino, Betty Dodson and Tony Comstock, among others. The awards were a public relations success, appearing in numerous mainstream media articles and raising awareness that yes, there are adult options available for women.

\nThe other “news” that enthralled mainstream journalists was the idea that erotic fiction for women was selling like lubricant at an anal sex convention. Or hotcakes. Probably the latter, actually. The big romance companies like Mills and Boon started to bring out new lines featuring explicit sex. Meanwhile, online publishing company Ellora’s Cave<\/a> went great guns, no doubt due to the lovely publicity from said articles.
\nErotic romance novels for women are huge<\/a>.

\nAriel Levy’s book Female Chauvinist Pigs had the opinion writers worked up and making grand generalisations about women’s sexuality willy-nilly. I got a little tetchy about the whole thing, as did my new friends over at CAKE<\/a>. Shall we say it again: women who like porn aren’t “aping men.” We can think for ourselves, thank you very much.

\n2006 saw me regularly updating Porn Movies For Women<\/a> because so many new titles came on the market. Playgirl’s partnership with Wicked<\/a> saw the company release no less than 10 porn films for women this year. Nina Lennox and Inpulse Films<\/a> also released three titles. Candida Royalle<\/a> wrapped up her latest production in April, while Tristan Taormino<\/a> launched her own production company which saw two new films released. Audacia Ray<\/a> finished filming her bisexual movie in New York, Erika Lust<\/a> started work on her latest as-yet-unnamed feature production and Tony Comstock finally finished Matt and Khym.

\nThe year saw a number of indie magazines for women pop up. Blam! Blam!<\/a> and German mag Gluck<\/a> both featured “boys next door” (read thin, pale and smoking cigarettes) and aimed to avoid being Playgirl<\/em>. Sweet Action<\/em> magazine didn’t manage to bring out any new issues during the year. Meanwhile, Violet Blue’s comprehensive book the Smart Girl’s Guide To Porn<\/a> made it to the shelves, with plenty of positive reviews.<\/p>\n
\nI posted about numerous studies, surveys and statistics this year. Seems there was a new article coming out every week about women’s sex lives. A few sample stats:<\/p>\n
\n* 30% more British women are surfing porn (about 5 million of them, apparently) (link<\/a>)
\n* 20% of Christian women say they are “addicted” to porn (link<\/a>)
\n* Passion Parties sold $20 million worth of adult goods in 2005 (link<\/a>)
\n* 65% of all customers at the Grand Opening adult stores are women (see above)
\n* Candida Royalle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s movies sell an average of 10,000 copies per month (that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s $3 million a year) (see above)
\n* Women spend 180 minutes a day thinking about sex (link<\/a>)
\n* Women spend one month of their lives perving at men (link<\/a>)
\n* Women’s brains react extremely fast to erotic images, according to recent research (link<\/a>)<\/p>\n
\nDaniel Craig<\/a> was voted sexiest man of the year. Patrick Swayze<\/a> was voted best on-screen near-naked man. Matthew McConaughey<\/a> was the man most women wanted to see naked. And Johnny Depp<\/a> remained completely shaggable in pirate garb.<\/p>\n
\nThis year I reviewed one porn movie a month for For The Girls. My favourites would have to be:
\nDamon and Hunter<\/a>
\nEyes of Desire<\/a>
\nCity of Flesh 3
\nBy far the worst was Ranch House Lust<\/a>. God, there’s 90 minutes of my life that I want back. I was also pretty disappointed with the Playgirl movies, mainly because they still offer formulaic sex and don’t feature female orgasms. Perhaps the hottest film I watched was the Ultimate Guide To Anal Sex for Women<\/a>, but it doesn’t make my “best” list thanks to the annoying presence of John Stagliano behind the camera.<\/p>\n
