The Ask Sam blog at the Sydney Morning Herald has published this post entitled “Why Women Hate Porn.”
Unfortunately the article doesn’t actually discuss the whys and wherefores of any negative female reactions to porn. Rather it points out recent statistics that one in three Australian women regularly watch porn. And then the author asserts that [...]

Petra Joy reports on her blog that her latest film Feeling It is up for two major awards at this year’s International Erotic Film Festival in Madrid, Spain (FICEB). The first nomination is for Best Film and the second is for Best Director. She’s up against heavyweights from the adult industry including films from Vivid [...]

A couple of years ago Anna Brownfield made waves when her film The Money Shot won numerous awards at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival. When the ABC show Mondo Thingo decided to do a piece on “chick porn” they interviewed Anna as the local representative of the porn for women movement.*
Now Anna is about to [...]

Erika Lust is about to release her second major film - the Barcelona Sex Project. This documentary-style film is a move away from her plot-based vignettes of Five Hot Stories For Her.
A feminist adult movie, created for women by women, the film discloses the private lives and sexuality of six individuals. The project is based [...]

This week at For The Girls I’ve reviewed Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Cunnilingus which recently won a prestigious butt plug at the Feminist Porn Awards.
Tristan is doing a great job with her educational series from Vivid and this is no exception. Aside from clearly explaining anatomy and giving handy tips for good pussy licking, [...]

I’ve now watched Erika Lust’s debut film Five Hot Stories For Her and I have to say I’m very impressed. This film won movie of the year at the Feminist Porn Awards and I think it deserved it. Certainly this film now shares a spot on my “all time favourites” list.
Five Hot Stories For [...]

On the weekend I watched Petra Joy’s latest film “Feeling It” and I’m ready to announce that it’s the greatest porn for women movie EVER. Yes, yes, I know that’s what I said about her last film, Female Fantasies, but this is a NEW one. And I don’t think I’ve got enough rampant adjectives to [...]

Once again I’ve updated Porn Movies For Women and added a bunch of new Playgirl titles (as per usual… they really do churn them out, you know.)
I’m very pleased to be able to include Erika Lust’s film Five Hot Stories For Her which is now available on Hot Movies.
And there’s also All About Anna, the [...]

I’m not sure what to make of Guys Gone Wild. My initial reaction is: ooh, guys getting their gear off and being silly, looks like fun.
But it’s not quite that simple.
This is the male equivalent of the Girls Gone Wild franchise and thus brings with it all kinds of ethical baggage. We all know the [...]

Naughty And Uncensored is the latest release from the Playgirl/Wicked studios. I’m not sure exactly how naughty and uncensored it will be, but this is the first time those scary flies-eyes sunglasses have appeared on their covers.
Here’s the official blurb:
Hidden in the deepest recesses of each of us is a secret. A desire to share [...]

I’ve finally got around to watching Tina Tyler’s Handyman and I’m very impressed with it. This is an all-male-masturbation movie with a difference, because this one is totally and uncompromisingly aimed at straight women. The guys (all of them straight) talk to the camera as if it’s a woman watching them jerk off. And all [...]

It took a while but Zentropa/Innocent Pictures erotic film All About Anna has been released in the US, distributed by Wicked.
On top of this, the film has officially gone platinum in Europe, selling 30,000 copies in Denmark. I know this because the lovely filmmakers invited me to a gala celebration of the event, which was [...]

Great news. Petra Joy’s third film, Feeling It, is due for release in March 2008. The film also has a website which features some wonderful still photos from the movie and information about the stars. There are some hot new amateur performers involved who were recruited from Europe during Petra’s travels.
A few excerpts from the [...]

The AVN awards for 2008 have been announced and, disappointingly, Candida Royalle’s Afrodite Superstar only received one award, for Best Music, despite receiving a large number of nominations.
It’s a real shame that so few other female-friendly films got up, especially considering the huge number of movies that were nominated this year - I made a [...]

I’ve spent most of today updating Porn Movies For Women. There were a lot of new movies to add and I’m still writing up some reviews. But I thought I’d do a post on Ms Naughty about some of the female friendly adult films that have recently been released.

While I was away enjoying life a small debate erupted about porn, facials, blowjobs and feminism. It started because Petra Joy wrote this on her blog:
A woman receiving head, a woman fucking a guy with a strap-on, a guy tasting his own cum and also to feature female ejaculation – those techniques that show a [...]

In Australia, “rooting” is a euphemism for having sex. So we’ve long giggled whenever an American says “I’m rooting for ___ to win.” Now I can use it in a title… and I’m giggling.
Anyway, the AVN award nominations have been announced and it’s another year of the same ol’ same ol’. Even the “alternative” category [...]

This month I reviewed Tristan Taormino’s film Chemistry for For The Girls. We’re also featuring an interview with Tristan in our next update which is well worth checking out. Tristan is a sex-positive feminist film maker who I’ve long admired. If you haven’t heard of her before, visit her site Pucker Up.
The idea behind Chemistry [...]

I’ve said it before: I’m a huge fan of Petra Joy’s and I recently reviewed her debut film Sexual Sush for For The Girls.
Just like Female Fantasies, I thoroughly recommend this movie. It’s exactly the kind of thing I’ve been waiting for - a real female perspective and a focus on female pleasure. Top stuff.

Erika Lust’s film Five Hot Stories For Her was awarded best film for women at the Venus Eline Awards in Berlin last week. The other nominees were Petra Joy’s Female Fantasies and Renee Pornero’s film Viennese.
On her blog Petra said that this was the first time an adult awards ceremony has acknowledged porn films made [...]

Congratulations to Petra Joy. Her film Female Fantasies has won Best Soft Film at the Barcelona Erotic Film Festival (site is a bit out of date). I’m not sure it deserves the moniker “soft” because the film is certainly hardcore in places. Perhaps the definitions have shifted somewhat and “hardcore” can only mean DPs and [...]

I recently reviewed Playgirl’s Addicted To Niko for For The Girls. On the whole it wasn’t bad, I guess, although I did get fairly bored after the first two scenes. Niko makes for beautiful eye candy but his acting isn’t so great. I guess you can’t expect too much of a beefy male stripper. At [...]

The Sun breathlessly reports that Italian actress Asia Argento wants to make porn for women.
Asia, famed for her steamy roles in movies such as xXx, says: “I wanted to make a porn remake of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and take it to the next level.
“One day I would like to make a movie about sex, [...]

“With his chiseled abs, his piercing eyes, and his massive personality, Niko has taken the world of erotic fantasies to his own new and unique level. Now explore Niko in all his [...]
