Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
It’s the 31st October – Halloween in the US and increasingly in Australia as well. I never experienced Halloween as a kid but apparently it’s becoming popular in Australian cities now. Some people feel that the encroachment of this American holiday here in Oz is a sort of cultural imperialism. I’m not sure what to think of it, to be honest. I read today that some Christians here are up Read More …
An artist called Gabriel Martinez has a website featuring self portraits of men masturbating. The funny thing is that all the photos are shot from the waist down, so you can’t actually see what the guys are doing. There’s a few hints, like nudey magazines, but the real indication of what’s going on are the curled toes and blurred feet. It’s an interesting idea that’s somehow quite compelling. Via Fleshbot.
OK, so given that I’ve just written a fairly lengthy post raving about books, and given that I haven’t posted a dirty pic for a while, I give you: Gratuitous Giant Erection Man! Enjoy.
I thought I should try and join Facebook the other day, since it’s been hyped to oblivion. I figured I should at least see what the big deal was, and maybe do a bit of networking in the process. Unfortunately they wanted my real name and only my real name. And then I read in the news that there were security holes everywhere on Facebook. I promptly deleted my account. 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 …
The New York Observer has an interesting article on the increasing pressure on women to have children. One of the quotes therein says: “It’s almost un-American at this point to say you don’t want children… It’s almost like saying you’re a communist.” Well, I’m not American, but I’m not having children, and I can understand where they’re coming from with that quote. A couple of years ago I worked myself Read More …
See? Women’s erotica is really quite a complicated process! Pic is from this extremely cool Einstein photo generator.
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 …
The Guardian has an amusing short piece calling for more male nudity in films, following Viggo Mortensen’s super-duper nude bathhouse scene in Eastern Promises. Naturally the author sees an opportunity to make dozens of penis jokes and runs with it. The sight of a penis on screen never fails to get people’s attention, despite the fact that said object of controversy is gazed down upon by its owners – half Read More …
It’s nearly summer here, and that means cricket. I like cricket because it’s usually accompanied by lying around in front of the TV, drinking beer and doing bugger all. And now I’ve got another reason to like it: nudity. A local cricket club has decided to take the nude calendar path in order to raise a bit of money. The Sunshine Coast Scorchers club have got the gear off and Read More …
I had to laugh at this terribly worried article about how the racy articles in Cosmopolitan automatically lead children to “the hard stuff.” For some parents and one community leader in Gainesville, magazines like Glamour, Cosmo, and Vanity Fair are sending the wrong message. “You’re just telling teenagers to come out there and get some,” Kathy Imes tells NewsChannel 32… “As you know, children are curious. They’re going to look Read More …
I like this photo. There’s something great about the light, and the placement of his hands. Pic is from a set featured at For The Girls.
So much to love in this story. If you watch the video, you’ll see Manly footballer Michael Robertson wildly swinging his genitals in the background as a serious post-match interview takes place on Fox Sports. It went to air live and, as you can see, has ended up on Youtube (although I’m not sure for how long.) According to this report, Michael is now “deeply embarrassed”. Meanwhile, the news employee Read More …
Congratulations to Petra Joy. Her film Female Fantasies has won Best Soft Film at the Barcelona Erotic Film Festival (site is a bit out of date). I’m not sure it deserves the moniker “soft” because the film is certainly hardcore in places. Perhaps the definitions have shifted somewhat and “hardcore” can only mean DPs and rough sex or something like that. Anyway, Petra’s blog has a great post about it Read More …
Following financial difficulties (which apparently nearly saw them close their doors), Good Vibrations has announced a merger deal with General Video of America and Trans World News. GVA-TWN is a huge distribution and adult products company and it looks like they stepped in with a wad of cash. It’s an interesting turnaround for what was originally a small, grassroots co-operative. I wonder if they will maintain their committment to providing Read More …
