Ms Naughty Porn for Women Blog

Archive for August, 2011

That’s it, I’m outta here.

I’m going to France for a month. For a holiday. When the FTG revamp went to hell again in July, I threw up my hands and said, fuck it, I’m running away. So I am. I’m going to Europe and I’m just going to enjoy myself. No work, no porn, nothing. Just me, having a good time with my lovely spouse.

I was going to do all sorts of filler posts in the meantime, leave you with some nice pics or interesting info. But sometimes you just have to stop, step away and let things slide. So the Ms Naughty blog is going to be even more neglected than the last month. I’m sure you’ll be OK without me.

I will have a netbook and access to lots of free wi-fi while I’m away so I may happily tweet every now and again. Look at the sidebar for those.

And when I come back, I’ll be relaxed, refreshed and ready to make more porn, as is my want.

Cheers.

Stumbled across this on Youtube and I can’t stop laughing at it. It’s a toy from a more innocent time.

I can’t wait to see this film. Starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy, Hysteria is a dramatisation of the true story behind the invention of the vibrator and it looks like a lot of fun.

I read Rachel Maines’ book The Technology of Orgasm back in 1998 when it was released and I wrote a piece on it for Australian Women’s Forum (it’s now in the member’s area of For The Girls). The story of the invention of the vibrator is fascinating: in the late 1800s doctors would bring women to orgasm to treat “hysteria” (sexual frustration). There weren’t enough doctors to keep up with the demand so the industrial revolution and electricity came to the rescue in the form of the vibrator, allowing the treatment of many more women an hour (and upping the profit margins).

The trick with treating “hysteria” like this was, of course, that it wasn’t supposed to be sexual. Sex was about putting a penis into a vagina. Rubbing a woman’s clitoris until she experienced the relief of a “hysterical paroxysm” was simply a medical procedure. Nothing suss! It reveals much about Victorian attitudes to sexuality and women.

If you want more info I recommend the Good Vibrations online vibrator museum – lots of pics and info there.

Mea Culpa. I haven’t posted on the blog all month. Firstly, I’ve been busy, and secondly, it’s been kind of nice to just leave it.

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’ve been taking a bit of time for myself lately, stepping away from porn and doing other things – namely planning a holiday. I’m bogging off overseas for the whole of September and have been madly getting FTG work done ahead of that time. Thus this blog will be even more neglected than before. I might try and do a few filler posts in the meantime.

When I come back, I hope to be re-energised. There’s a lot of things that need doing on my sites. And I am going to finally make my film, dammit. I’m also going back to Europe to the Berlin Porn Film festival in late October because my new film, The Thought Of Her, is screening there. And I’ve just finished a 3000 word essay on feminist porn that will feature in the German film magazine Schnitt at the same time as the Berlin PFF is on. I will add an English version of the essay to Ms Naughty in November.

Right… we fly out in 3 days. I need to think about packing.

Cabaret Desire - Trailer from Erika Lust on Vimeo.

Erika Lust has been busy. In October she is releasing another erotic film called Cabaret Desire. As with her previous films, it has a real cinematic look to it. Can’t wait to see it.

Almost a fortnight ago I attended Sexpo, the local adult entertainment exhibition. Aside from spruiking for the Sex Party, I bought myself some lovely corsets and wandered around filming some of the action.

I also interviewed the lovely Wendy from D.Vice, a New Zealand-based sex toy company. D.Vice has been around since 1998 and they were one of the first companies to push the envelope when it came to sex toys. They manufacture their own silicone toys and their range includes some lovely strapons. D.Vice is one of the new style of adult stores, female-run and sex positive, keen to offer information and advice and not just sell toxic jelly penises.

So I thought I’d do a quick post to thank Wendy for her interview, which appears at For The Girls tomorrow. And also to encourage you to check out D.Vice and consider them for your next sex toy purchase.
