Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
This is an ad for Diet Coke from the 90s. Now, I abhor Diet Coke but this ad almost makes me forgive it for all its sins. That’s because this ad is a showcase for the female gaze – the idea of shooting from a woman’s point of view. Yes, it’s only advertising, but think about how often ads assume the viewer is male and trot out the standard bikini Read More …
This is the cover of Temptations 2, an erotic fiction compilation from Xcite Books. Nice, isn’t it? It’s one of 3 recently released by that company. They have responded to calls from Erotica Cover Watch to have more men on the covers of erotic fiction books. I think it’s very appealing.
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 …
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 …
I hate being late to the party with these things but I’ve only just heard about the European Feminist Porn Award which is being held on Saturday 17th October in Berlin. Yes… I’m going to miss them, dammit, but despite my general divineness and best efforts at omnipresence I’ve discovered that I just can’t be everywhere at once. So this is essentially a party and film night to honour the Read More …
A survey of over 1000 French adults has found that 89% of those interviewed had seen an adult film in part or full, with 83% of women saying they’d seen porn. Most had viewed the porn at home, with just over half having watched it with a partner. Despite the impressive viewing statistics, many French considered porn to be less than satisfactory. 84% said the sex in porn films had Read More …
Today brings the sad news that Patrick Swayze has finally succumbed to pancreatic cancer. I thought I’d add a blog post on behalf of all the thirty-something women who are feeling a little bit sad right now. In our teens, Patrick embodied an ideal of manhood that was very appealing. His role as Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing was certainly romantic… but it was something else too. He represented an Read More …
Fashion and design magazine Wallpaper* has gone out on a limb by offering a cover featuring a “peelable” naked man. The cover starts out all very clothed, but you can then peel back a sticker and the rather handsome guy on the cover is totally naked. It’s a lovely idea and one I’d like to see more of. I’m sure the girls at Erotica Cover Watch will be very pleased. Read More …
I’ve been following the lovely Eddie Izzard on Twitter for a while now. He’s currently running six weeks of consecutive marathons across Britain for charity, which is reason enough to admire him, but he’s also an extremely funny cross dresser. As you can see from the above video. Eddie enjoys getting out the high heels and putting on makeup and is happy to flaunt the fact in his shows. He Read More …
The Murdoch Newspapers have this week been plugging a book called Why Women Have Sex by Cindy Meston and David Buss. After surveying 1000 women they authors claim they know the “real reasons” why women have sex and say that desire, lust or attraction come a long way down the list. The 1,006 women interviewed as research for the book gave some very surprising answers. One claimed she did it Read More …
Electronics company Philips has decided to brave the prudes and boldly bring out a massager that’s explicitly for sexual use. That’s right. Philips has started to make sex toys. Gasp, shock, look at the share price go up. Their new range of personal massagers are designed for use by couples which is an interesting take on things. “We know that couples in happy relationships tend to have satisfying sex lives Read More …
Almost 3 years ago I interviewed Anna Span and she mentioned that she was working on a porn film called “Women Love Porn” but it had been delayed. The British censorship body didn’t like a scene of female ejaculation because they don’t believe in it and ruled it to be pissing. (Yes, that’s right. They don’t believe in it. Sigh.) In any case, this film has been hanging around in Read More …
This week sees the premiere of Dirty Diaries, a new feminist porn film helmed by filmmaker Mia Engberg. The movie features twelve shorts created by different women, each offering their own version of what’s sexy. The above pics are stills from three of the films: Skin, For The Liberation of Men and Flasher Girl On Tour. “Erotica is good and we need it,” says the Dirty Diaries manifesto. “We truly Read More …
[flashvideo file=”video/labyrinth.flv” /] In 2005 I wrote about my love of the film Labyrinth. I also re-discovered the wonder that is David Bowie’s crotch. If you haven’t seen Labyrinth, it’s basically a fantasy film created for young adults by Jim Henson (may peace be on his name). It’s got a lot of muppets, puppets and humour. It’s also chock full of sexual tension between Jennifer Connolly’s female protagonist and the Read More …
In the last year I’ve become a heavy user of Twitter, as you can see from the sidebar with my regular Tweets. While it’s been great fun it’s also been a serious drain on my time and resources. I can lose half a day following links and Twittering and reading what other people have said. I put off doing real work because I’m frittering away my time, amusing myself, finding Read More …
