Soft Focus But She’s In Charge
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
I like this pic. It’s very “glamour” but she’s fully in charge here. Also love the full bush of pubic hair. How I miss it in porn photos.
Full set is available at For The Girls.

Yes, That Really Is His Cock
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Girls, meet Gabriel. He’s very cute and one of my favourite models. I think he looks a little bit like Orlando Bloom.
And yes, that is his humungous penis, it hasn’t been photoshopped on.
You’ll find the full set of pics at For The Girls.

Ms Naughty Goes Adventuring
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Well folks, this is my last proper blog post for about four weeks. I’m off on my big trip to the Berlin Porn Film Festival where my short film That’s What I Like is having its premiere on Sunday the 25th Oct at 8pm.
I’m very excited about attending the festival and meeting so many wonderful female porn directors. Candida Royalle, Petra Joy, Shine Louise Houston, Jennifer Lyon Bell, Maria Beatty, Anna Span, Emile Jouvet and many others will be attending. I’m taking my camera and hope to interview them all plus capture some of the fun and craziness that is part of the festival. I’ll post a short video when I get back but I’ll also be adding a longer, more comprehensive version to For The Girls.
In the meantime That’s What I Like and Paddling The Pink Canoe will also be showing at the Sexy International Film Festival in Melbourne. I had a clash of dates and chose the ridiculously expensive overseas trip. Ah well. I wish I could be there. If you’re down south I do recommend you attend as the festival looks fab.
For more on my films visit Indigo Lush.
So I probably won’t get a chance to get properly online and post anything until I come back. I’ve scheduled some simple dirty picture posts to appear in the meantime so the place doesn’t look too sad. I’m hoping to Twitter a bit so check the sidebar for any updates.

For The Girls Welcomes Tyler Knight
Monday, October 12th, 2009
I’m really late with this announcement but it’s still worth shouting from the rooftops: gorgeous male porn star and Heartthrob of the Year Tyler Knight is writing a regular column for For The Girls!
Tyler has long had ambitions to write and his straight-from-the-heart columns about life inside the porn industry are compulsively readable.
A taster:
We have never met. What happens between us is not chemistry. It is biology. The theme of the scene is this: she is an actress that needs coaching, and I am an acting coach… I try to defend against her advances, but I capitulate. I half ass the script, words dripping off my tongue like molasses.
We interviewed Tyler a couple of months ago and I got chatting to him via email. He really is a true gentleman and we’re so pleased to have him contributing to our online magazine. It’s fascinating to hear the inside story on some of the bizarre things that occur on porn sets; his anecdotes are alternately hilarious and heart-breaking.
Tyler’s latest column goes live today and it’s a corker. And yes, this is where I shamelessly plug the site and say: You’ll find it inside the member’s area of For The Girls!

IGAD! International Gynae Awareness Day
Monday, October 12th, 2009
I’m disappointed I missed it this year: International Gynae Awareness Day (and week) was on September 10. It aims primarily to encourage the breaking down of entrenched social, and cultural taboos, still surrounding most things ‘gynaecological’.
It was founded by Kath Mazella, who 15 years ago endured radical surgery to overcome vulval cancer; she had her vulva and clitoris removed to save her life. She’s now working to make sure this doesn’t have to happen to other women.
Now I considered myself to be fairly well informed about sexual health matters so I’m amazed I’d never heard of vulval cancer. And to be honest, it scares the crap out of me. Cervical cancer, ovarian cancer… we all know about those. But this? Losing your clit? That’s fucking dreadful! How do we check for this? Do doctors even know anything about it?
Thankfully, the GAIN site has information here.
One of the things Kath campaigns on is the correct usage of the word “vulva” to describe the female genitals. She, like me, is sick of people calling it the vagina.
Even today, we find it difficult to talk about our genitalia, and to use the correct name for these precious parts of our own bodies. The founder of GAIN – Kath Mazzella, a survivor of vulval cancer was surprised, then angry, and finally frustrated, to continually hear many, many women, the world over, refer to their “vulva” as their “vagina”!
Shockingly, Kath has even been told by government funding agencies to tone down her language because the word “vulva” is pornographic. “Vagina”, however, is OK. Can you believe the nonsense some people perpetuate?
In any case, this post is a plug for Kath and her good work. And also to show off that spectacular logo: isn’t it cute?

The Home For Lost Boys
Monday, October 12th, 2009
If you’ve got a thing for very thin, gothy-looking, half-naked men then you’ll be pleased to discover the Home For Lost Boys. It’s a relatively new membership site featuring galleries of “alternative, beautiful, non-mainstream boys” and it does seem to be aimed at women.
The FAQ says that they’re not necessarily a porn site:
The site focuses on sensual, rather than explicit, content. None of our models are required to show full frontal nudity, though some chose to do so. Photographers and models have been blurring the line between art and porn for years, and we seek to further that movement. We don’t seek to exclude sexuality, but it is only one aspect of our models’ work, along with artistic and self- expression.
The photos are occasionally amateur-looking but they do have a certain arty flair. If you like earnest authenticity then it’s here in spades and a lot of the guys have lovely faces.

Spanish Media Looks At Porn For Women
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by a journalist from the Spanish media site 20 Minutos. Their article about porn for women is finally out – available here.
Unfortunately it’s all in Spanish and – curse my monolingual Aussie heritage – I don’t really know what it says. Except that the photos let me know it’s got comments by Spanish erotic filmmaker Erika Lust.
Babelfish to the rescue.
The article says that porn for women is growing and that there’s a bunch of festivals happening celebrating that fact. Also that the Swedish have recently funded feminist porn, in the form of the Dirty Diaries short films. Erika Lust talks about women in erotic film having control of the situation and not merely being there for the male gaze. The story also says Candida Royalle got there first and does well.
As for me… well, I wrote at least two pages worth of ramblings in my email interview. Unfortunately I only got about 2 lines in the article, pointing out that porn for women is doing well when a lot of the porn industry is failing. Ah well, I’m pleased to just be involved.
I think I will publish the rest of my reply on the blog tomorrow.

A History Of English Marriage
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
The white dress, the reception, the invitations… the way we get married feels very traditional, as if it’s been done that way forever. Trouble is, our idea of marriage has only been around since Victorian times.
The Times has a fantastic article about the history of marriage in England and how its changed over the centuries.
It is surprising perhaps that the white wedding is still in vogue. There is nothing truly traditional about it. It was invented by the Victorians to show that the lady was rich enough to have a dress that was used only once. Victorian fathers “gave” their daughters away wearing virginal white and a veil as a substitute for her long hair worn use, originally the symbol of virginity.
…
Given the choice, those unencumbered by property preferred to avoid the expense and rigmarole of an official church wedding and spend their money on drinking to celebrate the new partnership. Dodging the newly imposed tax and resentment at the state’s interference in their private business provided further incentives to live in “common law unions” that had no basis in law and did not carry property rights. As long as a couple considered themselves “married in the sight of God” and was “reputed lawful man and wife amongst their neighbours” the forms of ceremony mattered little to them.
…
Clandestine marriage led to all sorts of abuses, from the kidnapping, drugging, forced marriage and rape of heiresses by fortune hunters to under-age, same-sex, incestuous or bigamous unions. Bigamy was common in a society where divorce was denied. Given the dubious nature of the paperwork and lack of witnesses, it was all too easy to walk away from a clandestine marriage and marry again.
I think all those who feel that gay marriage somehow undermines society should read this and consider what a shaky base our modern concept of marriage is built upon.

British Censors Finally Allow Female Ejaculation Scene
Monday, October 5th, 2009
I’ve just received a PR email from British adult film director Anna Span. She’s won an important legal victory over the British Board of Film Classification (UK censors) over whether female ejaculation exists.
Her film Women Love Porn, which contains shorts from five separate female directors, has been held up for several years thanks to the original ruling of the BBFC with regards to the ejaculation scene. The censors maintained that female ejaculation is not possible and that the scene actually contained urination. They demanded that cuts be made to the film in order to pass.
Anna Span decided to fight the ruling. She presented the BBFC with substantial scientific evidence that female ejaculation is a natural and normal phenomenon, helped by expert Deborah Sundahl.
Anna says; “I am really proud to have changed this outdated ruling and to have made a difference to women who experience this in their own lives throughout the UK. It was never fair that the BBFC dismissed their amazing orgasms as urinary incontinence”
The BBFC is still being a stick in the mud, saying that their “position remains fundamentally unchanged for future releases” but it’s fairly certain that any future bans will be contested based on this precedent.
Interestingly, the BBFC is currently hamstrung thanks to the fact that Britain joined the European Union but they carry on regardless.
I’ll say it again: I’m OK with labelling videos (classifying – on a voluntary basis) so that adults can make informed choices but banning films is just draconian and stupid and it should never happen in a civilised society to values freedom of speech.

Update 9th October
This story has now had some decent coverage in the media and large blogs.
Kristina Lloyd from Erotica Cover Watch has this opinion piece in the Guardian.
That article prompted this post at Jezebel.
Violet Blue’s latest column at SFGate is about the issue and she also wrote a blog post about it here.
Eye for Film featured this article on the issue.

My First Premiere
Thursday, October 1st, 2009I found my heart beating a little faster this week when the organisers of the Berlin Porn Film Festival sent me their catalogue for the upcoming festival. There it was, my film, scheduled to screen at 6pm on Sunday 25th October, 2009. How completely exciting!
I remember the first time I had anything published: it was an erotic story in Australian Women’s Forum in 1997. This film premiere is kind of the same thing. I’m going to be horribly nervous, worried about whether this movie is good enough, whether the audience likes it. I’ll be watching it, picking it apart, thinking of all the bits I’d like to change.
And yet I’ll be immensely thrilled and proud that I’ve made something that’s being screened at a film festival, in a real movie theatre.
The stupid thing is that That’s What I Like has been available on For The Girls for months now and I’m sure it has now been seen by thousands of our members. Haven’t had any complaints. Still, there’s that deep-seated idea that I haven’t really made it unless I a) get a book published or b) make a movie. This first screening is a big step towards the latter option.
In the last couple of days I’ve updated Indigo Lush, the official site of my film production company. If you want to see stills from the short film or learn more, go there.
