Bitch Says No To Pussy—And We Wonder Why

Bitch Magazine—a feminist publication you may have heard of—recently rejected the above ad for VooDoo Doughnut's branded clothing line. Their rationale? They felt it was sexist, and objectifies a woman's body in order to sell clothing. More »

"The Naked Feminist" Opens A Porn Time Capsule

Completed in 2003 and a South by Southwest honoree in 2004, women-on-porn documentary "The Naked Feminist," considering a handful of porno-generations has passed, plays like an old science fiction movie in which the future we're living in is different from the one it imagined. It is a treat nonetheless. More »

Feminist Porn Awards: The Full List Of Winners

In one sense, as long as there is hot feminist porn out there, we're all winners. In another, more important way, these people actually have trophies from The Feminist Porn Awards—so they're the real winners. More »

Fourth Annual Feminist Porn Awards: They Are The Champions

Alas, we were unable to make it out to Toronto this weekend for the fourth(!) annual Feminist Porn Awards—but we're pleased to see that many of our Crush Objects made it out—and won awards! More »

This Is What A Feminist (Porn) Looks Like

Well, the porn industry must be doing something right, because there are a record number of nominations for this year's Feminist Porn Awards. (Alternately, we suppose that feminists could be getting pornier—we're happy either way). More »

She's On Top: Women Taking Charge Of The Jizz Biz

Despite claims that porn is, to quote James Brown, a man's man's man's world, a recent MSNBC piece reveals that there are, in fact, women in porn—and not just in front of the camera, either. Women like Joy King, Samantha Lewis, and Susan Colvin are all superstars in the porn business (with the emphasis on business). So much for that sausage party. (msnbc.com, via hotmoviesforher.com)

We're all for walking to work whenever we can—but if artist Mimosa Pale rode up to us on the sidewalk and cooed "Wouldn't you like to ride in my beautiful vagina bike taxi?", we'd have a hard time turning her down, if only to see what it felt like slipping into one of those things. (The bike, we mean, not ... uh, never mind.) (Flickr, via Jalopnik, where the comments pretty much make the artist's point for her.)

No matter how much you like feminist porn, no matter how supportive you are of different sexualities, and no matter how much you believe in the idea that everyone should have erotica that speaks to them ... the first time you watch a man with a pussy get fucked is always a bit of a shock. Yeah, Buck Angel has a way of doing that to people. (blogto.com)

Don't forget that the Third Annual Feminist Porn Awards are tonight: not only will it be a night of "feisty, feminist porn" (on a big screen, even!), we hear some of our favorite directors will be in attendance as well. Hmm, if we start walking now we should be in Toronto by sunset ... (goodforher.com)

Sex 2.0: Sexuality, Feminism, And Waffles

Because we can never have enough opportunities to get together with like-minded geeks online experts and talk about sex, several members of the Fleshbot Collective are considering a trip to Atlanta later this month for Sex 2.0, a one day conference focusing on the "intersection of social media, feminism, and sexuality" which is also quite possibly the only event of its kind in the world to be held in a 10,000 square foot, fully equipped dungeon. Plus, we hear there are lots of Waffle Houses in Atlanta. Mmm, Waffle House. (event info @ sex20con.com; see also interview with organizer Amber Rhea @ sexuality.about.com)

Feral Lingerie Models Caught In The Wild

We've often wondered why so many photographers we feature here have portfolios full of scantily clad models in environments where you wouldn't expect to find scantily clad models: lost out in the fields, traipsing through the forests, posing prettily among the sand dunes ... But finally, we've been presented with a logical explanation: they're feral lingerie models, photographed in their natural habitat. Which, quite frankly, is a relief. Here we were thinking all this time it was just a bunch of sadistic art directors getting off on forcing girls to scuff up their Mahnolos and tear their stockings walking through the brush! More »

We're not the only ones who are conflicted about the whole sexy Halloween costume thing, you know: turns out that for every slutty schoolgirl, pirate wench, or horny devil chick walking the streets tonight, there's a college newspaper columnist with something to say about it as well.

What Makes Girls Go "Nuts"?

The lad mag industry—a business that we're somewhat familiar with—gets a dressing down in the UK Daily Mail by a former Esquire editor named Rosie Boycott. (With a name like that, is it any surprise that she's pissed off about something?) The general thesis is that Nuts, Zoo Weekly, Maxim, Loaded, FHM, etc. are nothing but exploitative trash that marginalizes women and perpetuates negative attitudes toward them in young men ... but that maybe the women who willingly drop their bikinis to get a spot in the glossy pages are at least partly responsible.

Note to bloggers everywhere: "The Porn Myth" by Naomi Wolf is a very interesting article indeed, but it is also approximately four years old. Please stop forwarding it, stop blogging it, stop Digg-ing it, and maybe we can stop hearing about it every three or four months when the next new person "discovers" it. (nymag.com)

Amber-On-Amber Action

When artist Amber Hawk Swanson was looking for a way to explore sexuality and feminism, while incorporating her own image to draw lines between reality and fantasy, she came upon a unique solution—paying $12,000 to buy a Realdoll that looks exactly like herself. Thus Amber Doll was born and the pair became the stars of their own on-going performance art piece. Not only has Original Amber filmed a documentary about the process of creating and caring for Fake Amber and not only have they re-enacted famous movie rape scenes for a photographic project, the two of them even got married in Vegas. (In matching dresses, of course.) More »
