Romance Porn Is The New Black

While there haven’t been many indie female-friendly porn productions released lately, I found myself overwhelmed by the sheer number of “romance” titles that the mainstream industry is currently churning out. There seems to be a new series or title coming out daily. And given that the porn parody steam train might be finally slowing down, romance is suddenly the new black.

And that means, ladies, that suddenly it’s all about you. Read More …

Porn for Women and Feminist Porn Roundup

In the wake of last week’s Feminist Porn Awards there’s been a flurry of articles in the media discussing feminist porn and the kind of erotica that women enjoy. This has co-incided with media interest in the e-book bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey. I thought I’d combine them into something of a mega-post. Erika Lust won film of the year for Caberet Desire at the FPAs. She’s been very busy Read More …

Tristan Taormino’s Pleasure Salon Presentation

Last Wednesday (11th April) I attended Tristan Taormino’s presentation at Pleasure Salon Melbourne where she talked about her life and experiences as a feminist pornographer. The event was amazingly well attended, with around 140 people packing into a sumptuous ex-nightclub in Brunswick. I was thrilled to catch up with old porny friends and to meet new ones as well.

All New Porn Movies For Women

Back in 2004, I threw together a little site in html called Porn Movies For Women to go with the domain name that I’d just bought. On it I listed all the good female-friendly porn movies I knew of. The list came to about 30 titles, at most. Mainly I just listed the Candida Royalle titles, plus a few other “couples porn” films that I thought other straight women would Read More …

Venus In Furs

I feel like there aren’t many new porn for women movies being released at the moment. There seems to be a bit of a lull in production, which is perhaps not surprising given the upheaval in the porn industry at present. For a while there were new feminist porn titles everywhere but right now, not so much. For my latest For The Girls review I chose to watch Venus In Read More …
