I’m about to head off on my insane cycling adventure and I’m currently wondering if I’ve done the right thing – my body is complaining and I’ve now got a few injuries to worry about. Still, can’t be helped – we’re going whether I’m fit or not.

So here’s a few nice couples pics to tide you over. They’re from inside the member’s area of For The Girls.

I’ll return to my regularly scheduled smut when I get back.

You may have noticed that blog and twitter posts have been a little scarce over the last few weeks. That’s because I decided to take up a new hobby and it’s taken over my life.

Five weeks ago I decided to join my husband on a 570km 9 day cycle tour, along with 1500 other people. A bit of a strange decision for someone who hasn’t really been into cycling before, but there it is. Always good to try something new.

What happened is I discovered the wonder of recumbent tricycle riding. I had a go on my husband’s new trike and decided to steal it off him. As you can see from the production pic above, it’s like a billycart for grown ups. No more aching crotch, wrists or neck like you get on a normal bike, just a lot of laying back and enjoying the view… and going really fast down hills (although, damn, it’s a bitch getting to the top of said hills).

Since then I’ve been in training, trying to build up my muscles enough to cope with average rides of 75km a day. I’ve also been stocking up on sexy lycra clothing and camping equipment, learning about cogs, cranks and derailleurs and generally turning into a cycling nerd.

In the meantime, I’ve been taking a bit of a mental break from porn. After the stress of the last 7 months, I’ve needed it. So I haven’t been keeping up with my usual news feeds or searching out good pics to post. It’s also been nice to mentally withdraw from a few of the usual conflicts: anti-porn, censorship, religious bigotry etc. Sometimes you just need to step back and refresh your mind a little.

I do still want to keep up my blogging but it’s not as frequent as it could be. And I’ll be pretty much offline for 9 days when the tour starts on September 4.

Rest assured, I’ll be back into the swing of things when I return, hopefully fitter and thinner than before. And then it might finally be time to make that movie.

Over the weekend, Australia had an election. Now the people have spoken and their overwhelming response is: Meh.

We have a hung parliament. Neither Labor or the Liberal/National coalition won enough seats to form government. This means the fate of the country lies with three country independents and a freshly minted Greens MP. Meanwhile, the Greens have gained control of the senate.

This is all fantastic news. If you’ve been following my blog you’ll know I’ve often written about the ridiculous internet filter proposed by Labor. I couldn’t vote for them because of it but I was loathe to support the conservatives. I really didn’t want to see either of them in charge… and now they’re not. Rather, we have three Independents who all seem to have a lot of passion and integrity. People are feeling a little stunned that these blokes actually give honest answers in their TV interviews. That’s how jaded and immune to spin we’ve become.

And now there’s a chance that these guys can actually change things for the better. They’ve all said they have little time for spin or party politics or bickering; rather, they want to see issues being addressed. They’re also promising changes to our crap electoral system so we won’t ever have to sit through the nonsense of this election campaign ever again. I’m just so pleased about it.

I spent Saturday morning handing out pamphlets for the Australian Sex Party. My husband and I caused quite a stir at the booth wearing our bright yellow “Vote 1 Sex” T-shirts; a surprising number of people said they wanted to own one. There was a lot of interest from a wide variety of people, including the other volunteers handing out How-To-Votes. So many people sidled up and said “Can I just have a look at that pamphlet?” We also got a few cheers and made plenty of people smile. Better yet, we noticeably boosted the vote for the ASP. I only wish I could have done it in Victoria, where Fiona Patten came incredibly close to winning a seat in the Senate. Next time, for sure.

So… after an idiotic and inane election campaign things took a surprising turn and I now have reason to feel hope for the future of this country. Which ever side gets in, they’re going to have to change they way they conduct themselves. Less spin, more consultation, greater honesty and integrity.

And one thing is certain: there won’t be an internet filter here any time soon.

As @benbirchall said on Twitter: “Nobody’s in charge, Australia! Let’s eat the condensed milk out of the can!”

This is an ad from the Australian Sex Party which parodies the conservative “Work Choices” campaign from a few years ago. It’s not often you get an electoral ad that makes a fairly direct reference to masturbation, even though it probably should happen a lot more often in political advertising.

Yes, the Sex Party ARE serious but they know how to make us laugh.

A friend of mine is having a birthday soon and, giggling madly, I lashed out and bought him a fantastic present: a lime green Borat mankini. No doubt he’ll look superb in the outfit… if he’s ever brave enough to try it on.

I found myself doing a Google images seach for the mankini and discovered a surprising number of good looking guys who do a damn fine job of wearing this difficult garment. So I thought I’d compile them into a single blog post for your questionable ogling pleasure.

The Original Mankini


Sacha Baren-Cohen’s Borat is often credited with inventing the mankini but in truth it’s been out there for a lot longer. Digging around in my old humour file I found these two images taken prior to 2003. I don’t know who the guy is or where it was taken but I think he was the original inspiration for Borat’s mankini exploits. My photo is labelled “Rico Suave.”

This is a backpacker in Cairns celebrating his 18th birthday – from this news item.

This is allegedly John Mayer wearing a mankini on a boat but I suspect it’s photoshopped. Source. There’s also images of John Mayer sniffing a mankini onstage so he’s obviously a fan.

London mankini marathon! Source

And another one. Source

“Mankini for lovers” – this image appears on various adult store sites.

As does this one.

It’s always good to wear protection. Source.

Who knew you could actually swim in it? Source.

Matter of fact I got it now… this guy is so laid back he deserves to be in this gallery. Source.

This is Mankini Malph. He travels the world and takes photos of himself wearing the mankini in front of famous landmarks. He’s obviously a Dead. Set. Legend. Here’s his Twitter stream and here’s his website. Source.

Now this is what I’m talking about. Sexy guy engaging in serious glamour posing in a waterfall clad in a mankini. Source.

The lime green mankini does fairly well but if you’re after something a little different there’s an entire online store dedicated to selling the mankini. Yes folks, you can even buy a tuxedo mankini for that special occasion. What better way to say “I love you” than with an upmarket 82% polyester black mankini.

Fellas – is anyone willing to show off their stuff in a mankini? Send in your pics! Msnaughty AT msnaughty.com

The Sun held its own competition in 2007 – here are the entrants.

The deadline for the Female Gaze Erotic Film Competition is the 16th August – next week. Alas, I haven’t received a single entry.

I’m a bit sad about this. I had hoped to encourage alternative visions of erotica with this competition but perhaps now was the wrong time. Perhaps I didn’t promote it enough (although it didn’t help that the major filmmaking sites wouldn’t list it due to their “no porn” policies). And perhaps asking people to create visual erotica is a bit of a stretch – although it didn’t have to be explicit or particularly big-budget.

So I’m considering extending the deadline, although this may depend on whether it will be cutting things too fine for a screening at Cinekink. Alternately, I might just throw up my hands and give the prizemoney to Cinekink as a sponsorship.

If you are waiting until the absolute last minute to enter, drop me a line to let me know you intend to enter (femalegaze AT forthegirls dot com)

I should also say: Please don’t scramble to film and send off any old crap in the hope of winning. We aren’t obliged to award the prize if the entries aren’t up to a certain standard.

I will update this post if the deadline is extended.

UPDATE
I’ve extended the deadline to September 6th. Winners announced on September 20th.

Now get busy, folks!

And here’s my favourite: Muscle Bound, with a fabulous introduction by Marcel Wave.

A Twitter conversation has made me revisit some of the sexy Hot Gossip dance clips on Youtube, so I thought I’d post a couple here.

Hot Gossip were a dance troupe in the 70s and 80s who became famous via the Kenny Everett Video Show. They were also incredibly RUDE. At least, that’s what I thought when I was 10. I wrote about the experience in 2007 – read about it here – and posed the question: was it a bad thing that I got to watch suspender-wearing women dancing in a sexy way when I was young?

I don’t think it was. Yes, it shaped my idea of sexiness but I was never made to feel about about enjoying it. So it was never a problem and it’s now a fond memory for me.

I’ve recently written about the moral panic of “sexualisation of children” and I feel the urge to add a bit more to this in light of “the Hot Gossip experience.” To whit: it seems to me that those making a fuss about “sexualisation” automatically assume that a childhood awareness of sex and sexuality is harmful. But that’s a big call to make and I don’t think it’s backed up by any evidence.

And really, is it so bad for a young person to see a Hot Gossip or a raunchy Lady Gaga video and to find that experience sexy?

* Another thought: the ABC is repeating old episodes of The Goodies from 1972. The episode entitled “The New Office” sees Bill putting up a poster of a topless woman on the wall. The poster remains visible for the entire scene. Interestingly, while the ABC censored some bits of the show when it screened at 6pm weeknights (usually when they said “Get Stuffed”), the poster was never censored or blurred. Contrast this now with the censorship of nude photos from art exhibitions because “kids might see them”.

So it’s official now: the Opposition will scrap plans for the internet filter if they get into government. Liberal Treasury spokesperson Joe Hockey spoke about this stance on JJJ radio and it was later confirmed by another party spokesperson.

If you were reading my Twitter feed you would have seen that my husband actually got Joe Hockey to say this over two weeks ago (July 18) when we were on holiday in Cairns. We were strolling the boardwalk on the esplanade when seemingly out of nowhere Mr Hockey appeared, pressing the flesh with media in tow. My husband asked him if it was Liberal policy to oppose the filter and Mr Hockey said it was. There were channel 7 and channel 9 cameras recording this, along with several other journos present.

Alas, it didn’t make the Sunday news. There was no mention of him saying this anywhere. The media simply decided it wasn’t important enough to publish.

Worse still, we’d left our little camera in the hotel room so we had no proof that it even happened. Imagine if I’d got the exchange on camera and put it up on Youtube?

Today I read Annabel Crabb’s amazing behind-the-scenes article about how journalists are “embedded” with politicians on the campaign trail. It’s not surprising that this is the most inane and soulless election ever, given the stitched-up nature of political reporting in this country.

Imagine if citizen journalists were allowed access to these stage-managed press conferences? Imagine if more of us were able to ask the real questions and then put the footage out there via the net? Perhaps we’d have more honesty, clarity and facts and a far better democracy.

Maybe we need to be more proactive in holding our elected officials to account.

I know, I really am neglecting my blog lately. I used to try and write in it every day but a lot of the time I’ve already said what I wanted to say on Twitter. I think blogs are becoming better suited to long-form writing anyway.

In any case, here’s a bit of eye candy to tide you over until I get into the writing mood.

In 2000, the Howard government seriously considered introducing a new law that would have essentially made explicit porn movies legal in Australia. The Non Violent Erotica (NVE) classification was to replace the existing X classification. Explicit films rated X are illegal to sell in all Australian states (though it’s not illegal to own them). The NVE classification was a handy way of liberalising erotic material in one broad legal stroke without messing around with the laws of individual states.

(I have to say, part of me is still stunned that the Liberals, traditionally the conservative side of politics in Australia, had actually decided to go down this path in 2000. And I’m appalled that the government and opposition we have in 2010 are essentially more conservative, religious and pro-censorship!)

Unfortunately one right-wing fundamentalist Christian had balance of power in the Senate in 2000 – Brian Harradine. And he succeeded in sinking the NVE classification, ensuring that Australia continues to be stuck with an archaic censorship system.

In this video, shot at the Queensland Humanist Convention in May, Sex Party leader Fiona Patten describes how Harradine convinced the Prime Minister that porn shouldn’t be legalised: he held a private screening of porn films. Essentially, Brian Harradine held a stag night at Parliament House.

Fiona also talks about how she’s spoken to MPs who privately have no issue with porn but who are afraid of losing the religious vote on “moral” issues – thus, we end up in this stagnant political quagmire.

You could argue that the derailing of the NVE classification became something of a moot point in the face of the glories of internet porn. Nonetheless, our ridiculously outdated censorship system is still used by the religious right as a tool for imposing their version of morality on the rest of us. And the internet filter plan has meant we are now hearing calls for the government to classify everything on the internet, with an aim of banning legal adult material.

If you are interested in the history of the X-rating, read An X-Rated Hoax on Libertus. This was written in 1999 and was originally submitted to the government when they were considering the NVE classification.

If you follow me on Twitter you’ll know I’ve been plugging the Sex Party a lot recently. As an atheist, feminist pornographer who believes in human rights, how could I not? We’re currently in the middle of an election campaign here in Australia, so I can’t help but “root” for the ones who are fighting censorship and oppression.

One more thing: isn’t the hypocrisy of censorship infuriating? It was OK for a group of politicians to have an (illegal) public screening of erotic transsexual films in order to “assess” them but the rest of us are apparently morally incapable of such dispassionate judgement. The same thing occurs every time the Australian Classification Board judges something to be Refused Classification; they can see it but the rest of us are too fragile to withstand it.

(Note: The video is 2:12 long and I’m hosting it on my server. Unfortunately I am having a lot of trouble uploading videos to Youtube or other vid services at present so this means the video is not embeddable. Sorry.)
