Porn for Women Resolution

So as a New Years resolution, I’m creating this blog dedicated to porn-y type stuff that women might like. I’ve been running Porno4Women as a toplist for years. But I’d really like to explore the topic in another way. I sometimes find sites that are cool or interesting but not strictly speaking “for women”. I’m hoping the blog format may be a better forum to explore sexual expression for and by women on the net.

While we’re on the subject, I think I’ll go off on a mini-rant. I think “for women” is a problematic term that seems to assume one-size fits all women. As an adult webmaster, I think no such thing; and, as a woman, know for a certainty nothing could be further from the truth. But, the nature of mainstream porn, made it seem necessary to create some sort of niche that catered to a female perspective. Where so much sexual material marketed women as sluts, very little seemed to acknowledge that the women themselves could be consumers of adult material or have fantasies that were not totally satisfied by the “slut/bitches/ho” approach to porn.

So the “for women” niche attempted to gather adult material that was more sex-positive, showed women as more active participants in the sense of her getting her own needs met and not just satisfying someone else’s, and that featured appealing men. In some ways, I think the niche serves its purpose. It helps the industry as a whole understand that women are interested in adult content and that they appreciate material that takes their viewpoint into account. In other ways, the very existence of a niche becomes a limiting factor. And I believe the scope of women’s sexual fantasies ranges far beyond the limitations of the “for women” niche.

It’s a bit of a quandary. Without the niche, the mainstream adult world bundles much of the content women find interesting into generic hardcore and gay material where it can be lost to all but the most determined surfer. But with the niche, it seems all women like are softly lit missionary-position sex and beefcake shots.

So, in regards to the blog, my resolution is to try to loosen the definition of what is ‘for women” and find more sites that are arousing, interesting and/or erotic to myself and my audience. I’ll still keep an eye out for the hot couple sex and the hot naked men, of course!

Happy New Year!

Plot + Sex

I’ve been looking for a way of describing a genre of adult videos that I like. Men tend to categorize videos in ways that are...how can I put this..absolutely fucking useless!

Anyway, I noticed Libidia, a site I’m coming to like more and more, actually used this very apt phrase “Plot + Sex” to describe a bunch of videos that immediately caught my attention. When I search other sites, I’m always frustated at ways to get to the videos I actually want to see.

I dont care really if there’s a blowjob, a facial, a reverse cowgirl, or a double backflip into a full split right onto the guys cock. Whatever! Its how the people in the story got to this that or the other act that makes it interesting.

Without a plot, questions nag at me. Where did this guy come from? Is he delivering pizza? Perhaps a handyman fixing the pipes. Is he a boss, a neighbor, husband, lover, pimp, john. No matter how thin or spurious the plot, even a little goes a long way. And a good plot, engages my attention long enough for me to stop the silly questions and to let the sight of (hopefully) hot people having sex take effect. In other words, I need the plot, dammit!

So what would make me happy? To see more adult video outlets recognize that the other 50% of the population exists. Categorize adult video offerings in more female-friendly ways. Recognize that for some of us, sex is not about a particular act or a position, its a process and we want to enjoy it from beginning to end.

kthnxbye!

Switzerland uses Sexy Men To Promote Their Country

And I’m so THERE!

The Swiss Tourism Board has created a commercial that targets a female audience. It shows a a series of sexy men in beautiful locations around Switzerland welcoming the viewer to the country. Smart move considering the influence of women in deciding where the family vacation will take place.

Double Dildos are not just for lesbians anymore!

Been wondering what you could give your man that would really surprise him? A little his and her penetration!

Violet Blue in her blog Tiny Nibbles writes a great article about her experiences with several devices and a willing male assistant

I had long dreamed of double penetration with a man. I’d tried it with a couple of women, and the experiments were hot, sometimes silly, and always a lot of fun. But with men, there was the added heat of playing Bend Over Boyfriend, and I knew we had the right tools for the job in stock at Good Vibes. I gave him a devious smile, donned a latex glove, slowly filled my hand with slippery Maximus Lube, and warmed him up with a genital massage that went from front to back—to his back door, that is.

Read the entire Double Dildo article at Tiny Nibbles.

She goes on to describe the unique sensations enjoyed by the stimulation of her end of the toy, as well as the pleasure for the gentleman at the receiving end. And frankly it sounded intriguing. Normal strapons were something that left me a bit “meh”, but this sounds like fun.

If you’re interested in trying something like this, I found all the products mentioned at the wonderful Libida store.

The Internet is For Porn!

Just something funny I saw on the video.google.com site. This was apparently shot in World of Warcraft, which, of course, is the only other thing the internet was made for tongue rolleye

Sex in Silhouette

This is one of the most eye-pleasing sites I’ve ever come across. Fine art combined with a very frank and explicit eroticism. You just don’t see something this high-brow and hot at the same time all that often.

Michelle7 Erotica features thousands of high-resolution scans from some of the most daring fine art erotica exhibits from around the world. Topics cover couples, male and female nudes, lesbian andhomo-erotica. Its a very beautiful and sensual site. I recommend it highly!

This picture is from a series entitled “Laura & Mike” by photographer Gordon Denman. See more in this sample erotic art gallery.

Colin Goes Down!

I have never really cared for Colin Farrell one way or the other. But getting a glimpse of the screencaps from the infamous sex tape actually made his stock go up! Something about the way a guy looks as he’s licking pussy...its fucking hot is what it is!

Apparently the sextape was to be sold on the site DirtyColin.com, but Mr. Farrell’s lawyers squelched that. So of course, the first time I actually want to see a movie with Colin in it, he shuts it down long face

Boogie’s Porn Blog is has some screencaps for the time being. Get them while the getting’s good!

A Softr Look At Erotic Photography

Softr is a gorgeous photoblog featuring a collection of erotic images by Flickr photographers. The site presents both male and female photos with an eye toward eroticism, rather than just an ooh-look-its-someone-nakie peep show. The work of the photographers is evocative, sensual and very beautiful. There are wonderful male photos, couples and of course plenty of female nudes. But the originality and expression of the works make them all well worth viewing.
