Werewolf Erotica and the Most Awesome Review Ever

My friend and fellow erotica writer Mathilde Gregory has a hilarious piece in The Guardian talking about the fact that a US prisoner sued for the right to read her werewolf erotica book.

After Martinez's request for the book had been denied because of its depictions of sex and violence, he had gone to court and an American judge had carefully worked his way through the whole thing to deduce whether or not it had literary merit. And then ruled that it did. I'm not a lawyer, but I assume that means that it is now the law that I have literary merit.

The court report includes a full plot synopsis, that is probably more detailed and well put together than the one I produced when I proposed the actual book. It goes on to ask the opinion of a creative writing teacher, who seems to like it, and is quoted as saying its themes of freedom are proof of its "literary merit" and that it has "characteristics of literary fiction". And "considerable effort went into the creation of the book, and the plot is more than a sham." More than a sham? Aw, shucks. Later, the report calls my book "Perhaps less than Shakespearian?" Perhaps? Well OK, as long as there's only a little doubt as to whether I am better than Shakespeare, legally.

Here's the article in Time magazine describing the werewolf erotica case.

On Twitter Mathilde has said that out-of-print copies of the book were going for over $80. It currently is only available as an ebook but will be re-released in paperback next year.

What Is "Erotica For Women" Exactly?

The phrase "erotica for women" is pretty broad and it means different things to different people.

"Erotica" can refer to both written and visual content that deals with sex. A lot of people assume that "erotica" is more artistic or socially redeeming that "porn" although ultimately that definition is simply in the eye of the beholder. There's an old joke that says: "Erotica is when you use a feather, porn is when you use the whole chicken."

The "for women" part is also a little tricky. Which women, exactly? Not all women want the same thing and women aren't a homogenous group. There are straight women, queer women, ciswomen and transwomen. Some women like romance, others like hardcore rough sex, some like soft focus, beautiful-style sex, others want BDSM. Trying to cater to all women is not possible.

Still, it's important to acknowledge that most porn and erotica leaves women out of the picture. It's designed for men, whether gay or straight, and the assumption is that men are the primary audience. Female fantasies and perspectives are often ignored.

Thus "erotica for women" is a way of flagging sexy content that at least acknowledges a female audience or tries to depict sex from a female point of view.

Kaleidogasm - An Unusual Erotic Video

This is a rather mind-bending video called "Kaleidogasm". It takes images of sex and mirrors them so it all becomes surreal and strange. It's also a little bit arousing.

The video comes from my new site Bright Desire which is a feminist, sex positive site with lots of different, interesting and HOT porn videos.

Story: Longing For Elise

Elise is a beautiful woman. She has liquid brown eyes and shining dark hair that curls around her face. Her skin is almost too perfect; it’s like the kind you see in beauty magazines. She has a wide mouth and very kissable lips. I think a lot about kissing those lips, actually. Her body is lithe and well proportioned, an efficient mélange of curves and muscle. She casts a Hollywood kind of shadow.

And I want her. I want to smell her hair and take off her clothes. I want to touch her bare warm skin and taste it, to push my fingers into her wet pussy and feel the smoothness of her cunt.

I get wet just thinking about that.

This is an excerpt from Longing For Elise, a new erotic story I wrote for For The Girls. Every week we publish new erotic fiction written just for women from a variety of authors.

Women who like to perve

An old Aussie ad for men's underwear. The guy is hot.

Erotic Fiction: Cream

Cream turns me on.

Luscious, smooth, thick, thick cream. Dollops of it. Bowlfuls of it, oozing, running, flowing. A lusty indulgence, a sinful luxury in a non-fat, low-carb, asparatame-flavored world, a plethora of tasty sensuality poured out and consumed hungrily.

Even the word cream is lustrous. It lives quietly in the mouth, a breathy utterance that ends in a smile. It evokes the texture and taste and the gentle, velvety richness.

You know how much I love cream, how I want to be creamed up, over and on. You indulge me in this. You love it too.

You seduced me with poetry on cream-textured paper, enticed me with your cream-coloured tie. At dinner you fed me chocolate pudding, but it was just an excuse to pour thick, yellowish, Jersey cream all over the dark, sticky sweetness. I licked the spoon and laughed.

Today you are making love to me in a cream-coloured room...

New Porn Movie Reviews

I've written up some new film reviews at Porn Movies For Women.

Afrodite Superstar Review
The Bi Apple Review
Under The Covers Review

OK, so I only ever visit every 6 months. At least I came back.

And this time I've jazzed the whole thing up a bit with a new template. Better than the old crappy one.

Blogger upgraded itself while I was away. Now it's got a lot more whizbang elements. I feel old. But then again, I started this blog way back in the misty past - 2003.

So, what's new in my world of women's erotica?

Well, For The Girls continues to power along, just as popular as ever.

I've made an exciting new AVS site called Women's Erotica Club.

I've also made these free sites:
Beautiful Porn Photos
Sexual Origami
Indian Sex Gods
Lick My Cunt
A Little Light Bondage
Room Service

I spent a fair bit of time yesterday writing up a large article on the history of porn for women.

The article looks at the origins of the male centerfold in the 70s and tracks the development of women's porn through to the present.

It's not a huge history, admittedly, but it's still quite expansive given that many people still don't believe that "porn for women" is a legitimate idea.

We've come a long way, baby.

Visit my new blog and porn directory at Quirky Sex. This site aims to feature unusual and kinky porn, as well as independent and pro-sex adult sites.

Naturally, it has a porn for women category. :)

Did you know that a recent survey found that the celebrity women most wanted to see naked was Matthew McConaughey?

My main blog, Ms Naughty Porn for Women, discussed this issue a couple of months ago, here. The survey, by the Chicago Sun-Times was surprised to find that women were so gung-ho keen to see naked male celebrities. I'm not sure why. Getting it on with the hunky superstar of choice has been a standard fantasy for a very long time, I suspect.

Anyway, I went through my existing pics of naked men and found a set of a guy who looks surprising like Matthew. So I made the Naked Matthew McConaughey Lookalike site. Enjoy.

What's the latest in the world of Erotica for Women?

Well, you can read it all at my regularly updated blog, Ms Naughty Porn for Women Blog.

There you'll discover some cool stuff like:

* Candida Royalle is working on two new movies.

*Inpulse Pictures is about to release a new film

*Playgirl.tv have teamed up with Wicked in a distribution deal

And of course, you'll get the inside track on what's happening at my own site For The Girls.

This month we interviewed male porn star Nick Manning and discovered that his ego is bigger than his cock. Not that we cared because we have some hot pics of him to enjoy. Do we really need our eye candy to open his mouth?

We've also got some seriously hot erotic fiction and true stories of sex adventures in "True Confessions."

And a huge downloadable DVD archive so you can watch porn movies without the embarrassment of renting them.

If you want to know what good adult videos are out there for women, please visit my site Porn Movies for Women. I updated it yesterday with new recommendations and a swathe of new reviews.

Woohoo! I did it! I worked out why the links down the side kept repeating over and over. It was the blogdateheader tag that was stuffing things up.

Do you know I've had this blog for almost 3 years now? Wow. Poor neglected thing that it is.

I've been reading about Anna Span, who is a British porn director. Apparently she makes porn movies with a female perspective.

Funny how time flies. And funny how ten months flies like a 747. I can't believe my last post was in January.

Still, here I am, reviving this blog, if only for a little bit.

What have I done in ten months? I'm asking myself that question! Aside from working constantly at For The Girls, I've been maintaining a huge list of sites, running my linklist and blog at Ms Naughty Porn for Women, putting out fires, worrying about the stupid 2257 legislation, promoting FTG, moving my large AVS sites to a new company and I also went overseas.

I've made quite a few contacts within the porn industry too. And I've seen a growth in interest in erotica for women. I've got to know porn director Estelle Joseph who makes the City of Flesh series, and seen Tony Comstock's real sex movies go from strength to strength.

In terms of tangible (read: online) stuff:

I created a major site for Adult Video Planet called Hetero Male Porn Stars. This is a site offering movie clips of the best looking male porn stars, taken from high quality movies. It's a site designed primarily for female surfers. Fact is, a lot of men in the porn industry are just gorgeous, but they're always playing second fiddle to the women. I thought it was time they got their own site.

I've been building up my list of female-friendly adult films at Porn Movies for Women. It seems that there are a number of naughty girly movies in the works, so I can't wait to see those.

There's these sites
Dick Slips - focusing on that fab moment when a penis falls out of a man's underpants
Water Fantasy - a playful woman sneaks up on a hunk in the shower

I also have created a directory of sex museums around the world: Erotic Museums.
This was inspired by my visit to the Erotic Museum in Paris in September. It was fascinating stuff, and I wrote an article about it for FTG.

Right... so here's a couple of lovely nude men galleries just to keep you entertained:

An awesome selection of hung ebony hunks
Men outdoors: big cocks near big rocks

PS. I want to give a plug to my page devoted to nude men, it's the naked men page at Streakerama.

You know, I'm buggered if I can work out why the listings down the side repeat over and over. I've fiddled with the template to no avail! Oh well.

By the way, if you want to see some fabulous amateur porn featuring REAL people having REAL sex, visit Real Fucking Couples. Great site. Nice tour too!

Oh, and if you wanted the latest in women's porn movies, check out Velvet Thrust. This film features the gorgeous Julian and was made by Inpulse pictures, a studio designed to make porn for women!
