A Porn Photo For Women3

I’ve been writing a lot of very wordy posts lately, getting off topic and not giving you nearly enough porn. So here’s a nice dirty pic for you to enjoy.
It’s also given me an excuse to offer up a Google-friendly title for the post. And, looking at it, I think it’s a good example of [...]

You Vill Submit To Me!0

Writers! Please! This is a call for more submissions to For The Girls - both to our regular erotic fiction and Wicked Ways sections and also our erotic story contest.

A Weird Feminist Critique Of Porn For Women1

Obsessing about my place in Google once again I found a rather long winded feminist essay about women’s porn, entitled: Rape Culture: Renegotiating Sexual Subjectivity on Porn Sites for Women. The piece takes a rather large philosophical stick to Sssh.com, which is an adult site for women that’s been around for roughly the same time [...]

A New Wave Erotica Film From Australia0

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’s Barcelona Sex Project Coming Soon0

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 [...]

For The Girls Turns Five + New Short Story Competition2

Way back in the mists of time - June 2003 - my friend Jane and I launched our little-porn-site-that-could. We gathered together all our favourite dirty pics and movies, and I collected a whole bunch of my articles and columns, and off we went. [...]

Quick Links: Yaoi and Women In IT0

Just wanted to whack up a couple of quick links today.
The first is this Canadian article on the growth of Yaoi - Japanese gay erotica made for straight women. I’ve written about Yaoi before, this adds another perspective.
Secondly I found this board post from a woman who works in IT. She is making a point [...]

A Hot Movie With Guys Going Down0

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.

The Search For Male Goth Porn0

Alt porn is the new black. Or it was the new black - some say that it’s been commercialised beyond coolness so now it’s more of a new brown. In any case, there are now plenty of alternative gothic porn sites out there featuring naked chicks with tattos and piercings (see Quirky Sex for examples).
