Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
This great video details The Bechdel Test, which is a way of measuring how mainstream movies treat women. To pass the test, a movie has to: (1) have at least two women in it, who (2) who talk to each other, about (3) something besides a man. The test first appeared in 1985 in Alison Bechdel’s comic Dykes to Watch Out For. This site has a growing list of films Read More …
In yet another example of their opaque censorship policies, Facebook has removed Violet Blue’s Our Porn, Ourselves page, even though it had over 3000 members and was obsessively policed by Violet. It seems the anti-porn zealots may have been behind it. Read more about it over at Violet’s blog. Like other member’s of that group, I’m reposting Violet’s letter to Facebook, questioning the page removal. A shit storm is about Read More …
2010 was going to be a fabulous year for me. After winning the Petra Joy Award in Berlin in October 2009, I had big plans to make more erotic films including a feature. I had planned to travel to the US to make the movie and do more business there. I was also going to do a lot more with For The Girls and maybe get a book organised. And Read More …
Gorgeous cartoon from Stuff No One Told Me, via Erika Lust. I think we need to make this point a little more often. Romance novels are often derisively called “porn for women” and, while this is inaccurate in a lot of ways, it does make a point about unrealistic fantasies. Both porn and romance/fairytales offer a fantasy version of the opposite sex and depict sex and relationships in a very Read More …
If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting Read More …
I’m about to run away for a few days and thus this blog and my twitter feed will be mostly neglected. So here’s some hot pics to tide you over. This is Brad, the June Centerfold at For The Girls. Posting these pics I realise I haven’t been putting enough nice smut up for you to enjoy. Been busy with other things and with the ongoing saga of our new Read More …
It keeps popping up on TV talk shows and is used as a debate silencer by right-wing pundits. Religious groups use it to put pressure on politicians to create greater censorship. It’s the term “sexualisation of children” and I suspect that it’s bullshit. I’ve been meaning to write a blog post on this for a while but today I’ve found that Australian researcher Catherine Lumby has pretty much summed things Read More …
It was my birthday yesterday. I’m now 37. This is a prospect that is not very promising. I’m rapidly heading for 40 and the wrinkles are getting deeper. Before I was in my mid-thirties which is perfectly respectable but I think 37 is a bit of a tipping point. Like most people, I still think I’m really only about 21 inside and I don’t think anyone really accepts the age Read More …
[flashvideo file=video/malepromo.flv /] Here’s a little promo I made for For The Girls with a bit of hot guy footage. I’m putting it up here because I’ve neglected my blog for a week. I meant to write up something new but my PC decided to fail today. Thankfully I’ve got it back from the geeks and it’s OK. I’ve had a small adventure with The Guardian – they quoted me Read More …
