For The Girls Celebrates 7th Anniversary With “The Female Gaze”

In the seven years since women's erotica site For The Girls first launched, the "porn for women" camp has made great strides, providing a broader view of sexy from a whole different angle.

But even with all the Filaments and Feminist Porn Awards (and, of course, For The Girls) of the world, adult entertainment is still largely a, ahem, man's man's man's world. On the eve of their seventh anniversary, For The Girls would like you—yes, you—to help them change that. With (what else?) a sexy film competition!

"The Female Gaze" erotic film competition is seeking quality videos that depict sex and sexuality from a woman's perspective, a viewpoint that is still rare in erotic film.

"Even in 2010, most porn is made for men," says webmistress Karen Jones. "For The Girls has always been about making a space for straight women to enjoy adult material. We've long been encouraging women's voices within the adult sphere, first with our ongoing commitment to erotic fiction and now with this erotic film competition. We're looking forward to seeing fresh ideas and positive interpretations of women's sexual experiences."

Films can be explicit or softcore, must be shorter than 10 minutes and must also include the signature item, the number seven. The winner receives $400 and a screening at the Cinekink Film Festival in New York.
