Happy International Women’s Day!! March 8th is the day when we take extra time to really celebrate women on a global scale and show just how much we appreciate and respect them. Since we do that every day here at HM4Her, I thought I would take a few minutes and give a little super shout out to some of my favorite porno makin’ ladies from around the world. The focus tends to land on the USA more often than not, so I want to make sure you know about all these fabulous women of the world!
First up is the amazing Erika Lust. Based out of Barcelona, Spain, Lust (though she is Swedish) creates the most beautiful erotic scenes that just burst at the seams with emotion and sensuality. She is also an accomplished author, writing about porn, sexuality, and even where to pick up a good dildo when you are traveling through Europe. Her documentary “Barcelona Sex Project” is one of the most thoughtful, engaging pieces about masturbation that this jaded reviewer has ever seen. In fact, when I have to make a recommendation for great porn for women, Erika Lust always tops my list. Definitely check her out!
Petra Joy is another director that makes my short list of fabulous porn for women. This German filmmaker whips art and sex together to make the most delicious pieces of porno candy. Her films are creative and raw in a way that makes you want to hit the rewind button after each scene so you can take it in again to see everything you missed.
Up in the Great White North we’ve got Bren Ryder of GoodDykePorn – and that’s just what she makes. Bringing real folks to the screen for real, authentic sex, Ryder tosses the mainstream idea of ‘lesbian porn’ on it’s ass and gives us lady lovin’ ladies a chance to show you how we really get down and dirty. You want to see this!
I know, there are so many more amazing women I didn’t get a chance to touch on! I could be here all night making a list of everyone that needs to be on here, but alas, I chose to just focus on a few so I can go celebrate all the lovely ladies out and about in the world! Go out and do the same yourself… after you watch all this super hot porn!
One of the stereotypes that drives me craziest when it comes to porn is that all dirty movies are made by men, to get men off. What?! There are SO MANY women bringing some of the hottest erotic smut I’ve ever seen to the table – making movies with other women’s pleasure in mind. So this week, I’ve decided to focus on the awesomeness that is For Women By Women porn – pinpointing in on hot hot hetero flicks that features gals and guys getting busy, because lord knows if I didn’t narrow it down, I would be here all night trying to decide which 5 movies to choose.

This past weekend I attended a friend’s wedding and was seated next to a lovely married straight couple. And because I am me, we ended up chatting about porn (you know, like 20 feet from my friend’s grandma – not that granny might not love porn, but I’m sure said friend probably doesn’t want to hear it at her wedding. Don’t worry, I think everyone else was on the dance floor actually.). Straight porn, specifically, and how it’s just not hot. And again, because I am me, I came to the rescue and set the story straight (literally).
I explained that while there are many hetero porns that aren’t as female focused and many that could care less about either performer’s pleasure, as long as they get a money shot; there are, in fact, a whole host of super sexy straight flicks that are more than worth a watch. So for this week’s Top Five Tuesday, I am busting out the top of the hottest hetero movies I’ve come across in my time as a porn connoisseur. Read the rest of this entry »
I thought it was time we got back to reviewing Petra Joy’s Her Porn. Today I took a look at scene four, a clip from Marianna Beck’s Trial Run which is the story of one woman’s online quest for love. Apparently, it involves clowns…
Dr. Beck is a professor at the Art Institute of Chicago who dabbles in porn. Or maybe she’s a pornographer who dabbles in teaching, but either way I’m pretty sure she knows her stuff. Now, onto the porn.
Let me just start by saying I am so glad I’m done with dating! After watching the trials this dude has to go through to go on a date with this Dom’s friend, I’m not sure I’m up for it. Back when I was dating it was a lot simpler. You went up to a girl in a bar, made out with her, then you moved in together until you slept with one of her friends and started all over. Now there’s the internet and masturbation try-outs and FemDom’s with puppies – it’s all very intimidating.
So here’s how this one plays out. This dude shows up for a first date with flowers after getting to know a girl in cyberspace. Nice gesture, buddy. Once he gets up the nerve to ring the bell, he’s greeted by a woman in head to toe leather who explains that she’s a pro Dom and some sort of human lie detector. She’s in charge of figuring out if he’s worthy of her friend and he’s confused. Before long, he’s naked and blind-folded and proving his devotion to the girl by jerking off. I don’t want to ruin it by spoiling the ending, but it’s definitely interesting…
While I’m being a bit snarky about this one, I have to say that it’s actually really interesting. I love that the guy looks like a normal dude and seems sincere in his actions. Their conversation as almost as interesting as watching him work his cock in what I can only imagine is a less than comfortable situation. While this scene definitely stands on it’s own, you may want to check out Trial Run to catch the rest of the film. I plan on it!
This is just another example of why I love Her Porn! I’d never heard of Trial Run before today, but am super excited about watching the whole film. -The Porn Librarian
The Porn Librarian reviewed scene 2 of Petra Joy’s awesome lady porn collection, Her Porn Vol. 1, so it’s my turn to check out the next vignette, “A Tight Fit,” directed by HM4Her favorite Candida Royalle. Originally from her film One Size Fits All, this ten minute scene looks super sensual and totally hot before I even hit play. Three cheers for sexy screen caps!
The minute I flipped this flick on, I could tell a woman was behind the camera. Maybe it was the point of view or the fact that they weren’t screwing on some tacky hotel-looking background, but there is just something decidedly feminine about this scene. Of course, it could have been the overt passion and attention to the details of arousal that tipped me off. In my experience, I’ve found that a lot of male-focused porn forgets that there are faces and people attached to those pussies, tits and penises, but porn for gals (especially made by ladies), tend to spend a little more time exploring expressions and movements that cover more than the old in and out. I just call it how I see it and this hot romp is case and point.
On a lighter note: I couldn’t help but think that the woman in the scene looks kind of like Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune. Seriously – with the blond updo and all! Once I noticed that, the scene became a whole different ballgame for me. All I saw was Vanna moaning and squirming and Vanna sucking cock. I always knew she touched those letters so lovingly, but wow, who would have thought she’d be such a tiger in the sack, scratchin’ her man’s back up and all. Mmmm… she definitely made me want to buy a vowel.
Candida Royalle was the perfect choice for this fabulous lady-centric porn collaboration. Without her exceptional movies and perseverance in a male dominated field, this compilation, as well as the female porn movement might not even exist today. Definitely check out this scene, then head over and watch it in its original context in Candida Royalle’s One Size Fits All.
JD reviewed the first scene of Petra Joy’s Her Porn last week, and when I had the chance to do the next I jumped on it. While it is only five minutes long, I totally loved it and was inspired to learn a little more about director Shu Lea Cheang, a queer media artist.
This clip, Unplugged, is from her film I.K.U, which actually premiered at Sundance back in 2000. I’m pretty sure this is the first Sundance flick I’ve reviewed on here, so that’s pretty rad. It was pretty obvious from the beginning that this isn’t your run of the mill fuck scene, although there’s plenty of XXX and it’s smokin’ hot. The set is really cool with all of these shifting walls and the camera work is fantastic. Between the set and the lighting, it has a really futuristic feel.
One thing that I really love, especially after learning more about the film and Cheang, is that this scene is pretty hardcore. A couple of minutes in, they are really going at it and it is super awesome. Gonzo directors should note how hot fucking can be without insane close-ups of penis in vagina.
After seeing this, I would love to see the film that it’s taken from or anything from the director. It’s short, but totally sweet. A great example of the fact that porn can be art!
What do you get when you bring together some of the top female porn directors in the world’s work and join their hottest fantasies? Apparently an amazing compilation that spans the entirely of female desire and sexuality and neatly presents more than two and a half hours of pure pleasure. Of all the porn this reviewer has watched, this is the first multi-director compilation I remember seeing that has been executed so well. Each scene plays of one and another and adds fuel to the fire just when you think the fire could not be further stoked. Because each vignette is so different from each other, as well as created by different women, I am going to review each scene by itself – obviously starting with scene one.
Scene one. Where do I start? Do I begin with the fact that this is only the second time I’ve ever seen Tristan Taormino get fucked on screen and how excited I was to even see her at all? Or do I focus on how amazing it was that porn/sex legends Candida Royalle and Betty Dodson were in the scene as well? Nah, let’s start with the ferocious sensuality that came along with having a man jerk off on stage in front of an audience of women. “Not So Tender Is The Night,” directed by Marianna Beck takes feminism and sex to a new level, breaking boundaries and getting to the good stuff right away. While these women may have been trying to teach this guy a “lesson” about objectifying women, the point was pretty much lost the minute he began getting into it and I forgot that there was something to think about other than his hand on his cock, or Tristan Taormino sliding her corset down to expose her perfect pink nipples. And though this was totally awesome and my eyes were glued to the screen, it was the second part of the scene that had my total, undivided attention. Once the guy gets in bed with our girl Tristan and has her moaning up and down the sheets, this movie officially became one of my favies.
The scene may have only amounted to 17 or so minutes, but I am definitely in for the long haul and can’t wait to see what Strawberry Seductress brings us next!
With a name like ‘Sexual Sushi,’ I wasn’t quite sure what to think. I saw that it was a Strawberry Seductress movie right off the bat, so I knew better than to expect some sort of racially charged Geisha porn, but other than that, my porno watching fate was in film maker Petra Joy’s hands. Lucky me. Petra Joy is nothing if not totally dedicated to creating erotic masterpieces that drip with sexy passion all the way down to the details. Making films for women and men that want something different than traditional porn is offering, Joy brings just that (joy, I mean) to her works and turns the heat up a notch to most definitely turn on anyone in a 10 mile radius. Clearly I think her movies are super, super hot.
The second scene’s burlesque vibe really caught my attention. There is just something about unexpected glittery nipple pasties that totally gets my grinning uncontrollably. Pair that with a sparkly heart-shaped merkin and I am totally sold. I really love that this movie has hetero partners using sex toys as a part of their play, instead of having the guys reaching straight for their dicks. It’s refreshing to see in boy/girl flicks. Not that the guys don’t get their fair share of fun – Sexual Sushi is all about penis/vag sex, as well as blow jobs galore. Everyone seems to be having fun and playing out their sensual fantasies, which really, is the point if it all, isn’t it?
While two was my favorite scene, the entire movie is wonderful. Joy’s use of music and lightning really make the experience. I love that you can hear the couples moaning and breathing over the music, but it never feels like too much is going on. Not having to deal with half cracked dialogue or plot is a nice change as well. Petra Joy just really knows how to make a quality, sexy erotica with one can’t-take-your-eyes-off scene after the other. This will not be the last time I watch this movie – I guarantee it.
We recently received a new movie from Petra Joy and are counting the minutes until it’s live on the site! For those of you who don’t know much about Petra, here’s an interesting interview you can check out.
What is erotic to you? Filmmaker Petra Joy wants to know. Joy is looking for a few good women – great ones, in fact, that are just starting out in the adult biz and want to make porn by women, for women and break all the tired porn clichés.
In association with Pjur, Petra has announced The Joy Award, the first international Erotic Film Award for New Female Directors! Taking submissions for all types of films (from fetish to vanilla, lesbian to straight, documentary to animation) Joy wants to see “What is erotic to you,” with only the caveat that they all must be under five minutes long. Prizes include cash and a shot at the big screen during “Pornfilmfest” in Berlin, Oct. 22-25, 2009 for the top three finalists. As well, specially selected films will get the chance to be published on Petra Joy’s forthcoming compilation “Her Porn, Volume Two” as a special feature.
A vetran director and producer of porn for women, Petra Joy created The Joy Award to:
Inspire first time female film-makers to take control, get behind the camera and show erotica – from a female perspective. With the support of pjur I would like to help talented film-makers to finance and publish their future films. My wish is that this award will help to make more female fantasies visible and more female erotic film-makers seen and heard!
