The world’s first motion picture, L’Arrivée d’un Train à la Ciotat was first shown to cinema audiences in 1895. It was quickly followed a year later by the world’s first porn film. Because basically, mankind looks at a shiny new invention and thinks, “how can we make it more about sex?” I didn’t get online until…
I have just discovered Siffredi Late Night – Hard Academy on Netflix and, as it is quite the bonkersest thing I’ve seen in a long time, I have to share it with you. Made in 2016, this is an Italian reality TV in which veteran porn actor Rocco Siffredi decides that what the world truly…
It is exactly six years since the release of the first Fifty Shades of Grey film. Back then I was a regular reviewer (under my real name) on the excellent MostlyFilm.com. I reviewed the Fifty Shades films as Etta Stark though and became the sites first (and only) official Spanking Correspondent. Sadly Mostly Film has…
Netflix’s Bonding returns tomorrow for a new season! BDSM-related comedy dramas are a bit thin on the ground in mainstream media so Rightor Doyle’s kink-themed TV series, based on his own experiences as Dominatrix’s assistant, was always going to be on my watch list. I’ve just re-watched the first season and a comment made in…
This 1995 film by Michelle Handelman, celebrating the lives and lifestyles of San Francisco’s lesbian BDSM ‘leather women’, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. I am apparently old now because it really doesn’t seem that long ago. You only have to watch this film, to realise that 1995 was a hell of a long…
Enola Holmes is a Netflix film based on the series of books by Nancy Springer which introduces us to a new character – the younger sister of London’s most famous consulting detective. As a film it ticks so many of my boxes. Late Victorian setting, feisty heroine, Women’s Rights, it’s all there. And Millie Bobby…
“We need to remember that it’s completely normal and healthy to allow ourselves to be happy, if that’s hiring an escort, going on a blind date, getting tied up or just eating cake.” Morgana Muses Morgana (2019) Dir: Isobel Peppard and Josie Hess Morgana is an extraordinary documentary about an extraordinary woman. Five years in…
I watched 365 Dni recently. It wasn’t great but as I said in my review, I do want to see more of this sort of thing. So what other erotic, kinky delights does Netflix have on its virtual video store shelves for the girl who’s already seen the infamous Polish bonkbuster and all the Fifty Shades…
The Polish film 365 Dni (now available on Netflix) is causing a bit of a stir around the internets. The film is based on the book of the same name by Blanka Lipińska, an erotic romance very much in the tradition of the sort of books I read and review here. I haven’t read the original…
With this whole lockdown business, you’d think I’d have plenty more time for Netflixing. But what with work and writing and my new found talent for daytime napping, I haven’t been spending much time at all watching television. However, I have been enjoying Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Goop Lab’ series. Is ‘enjoy’ even the right word? It’s…
