Female friendly porn recommendations

[corkwan 20]

It must be said, most porn is male dominated... where the main point is the guy unloading on a woman's face, the woman's pleasure secondary. I've been on a long and hard (har har) search for porn which has a bit more depth to it. It is said that men are more visual and women are more imaginative (that is, guys like pictures, women like words), but I wonder how much of this is truly due to the quality (or focus) of the films. There seems such a big selection, but most of it is like a bollywood movie (there are 5 original films, remade to death, or so I'm told) with the same flaws as other films.

 

Here I'd like to post some of the films we've really enjoyed together. I'm hoping that either this will help someone else find something sexy, or you've seen these and would like to recommend some of your own favorites.

 

The crucial points are:

 

1) the woman is enjoying herself - seriously, how can people get off with actors who look like they're bored.

 

2) the actors are good looking, not plastic. sexy people, but not surgically altered.

 

3) the sex is hot, and both people look like they're into it... ideally, the woman comes at least once during the sex.

 

4) a good fantasy/plot, sure we don't want lots of bad-acting character building, but a bit more than a film crew, actors and a matress.

 

5) film making. bad editing, bad lighting, and bad music make a bad film. lots of the porno industry seems to think that a camera and fucking make a film. perhaps they do, but not a good film.

 

i know that goodvibrations have a femme friendly porno section, and indeed, their choices are good. likewise, so does blowfish. Here are the links, including an article by violet blue, editor for goodvibes and allround right on sex editor/writer:

 

Pornography for Couples by Violet Blue - Violet Blue ® | Open Source Sex

 

....

 

So, in my search, I've found that the french tend to have much better quality films than north america. So, all listings are french. perhaps it helps that you can't understand most of the dialogue, but the sex is hot, and it seems to fulfill most of the above criteria.

 

le plaisir à 20 ans (blue one) - a couple imagine numerous fantasies. the film has enough plot to tie it together, but the sex scenes are imaginative and very hot. I think my favourite is the sex by the fridge scene, first the couple get covered in food, then you get really intense sex. the guy stops midsex, and rubs the woman until she squirts, before continuing. The rest of the scenes are also done well, great camera work, imaginative sets.

 

les cles du plaisir (michel ricaud) - a woman has a chastity belt, so she calls a locksmith who has les cles du plaisir (the keys of pleasure). This film is a classic, but very well shot, hot sex, and nice looking actors.

 

la femme objet (alpha) - another classic. a man treats women like objects, and then designs a robot woman to have sex with. Great sex, but ultimately it is about the man's pleasure. that is, until the robot gets revenge. very well shot, and nice to look at bar the hideous furniture of the early 80s.

 

salvatore giuliano le dernier sicilien (joe d'amato) - two outlaws on the run, find comfort with a selection of beautiful women. The sex is really hot, well shot, and the actors are beautiful. There are several MMF scenes which are very well done.

 

les jambes en l'air (new sensations) - 'legs in the air' is a film about sex on an airplane. it has great models, and hot sex. Not much plot to it although it sticks to the theme, but it is very well shot and the actors are good looking and look like they are having fun.

 

L'Indécente aux enfers (french) - a woman is oversexed, so she goes to see a psychiatrist. There she tells the psychiatrist about her fantasies (cuts to very nicely done scenes) which range through out history. there is picnic sex, napoleon-era soldiers (MMF), 1940s wartime in a taxi (voyeur), 1950s gangsters. As well, the oversexed woman has some great scenes in between her visits to the psychiatrist, including meeting a stranger in a park, doing the mechanic, and the scene which sets the film up, her wedding night (where she goes from 'oh no', to 'oui oui!' and begins her sex obsession).

 

....

 

DISCLAIMER: I know porn is a matter of personal taste. maybe this won't rock your boat. However,Ii feel like I am not alone in that 99% of the films I have seen are not that great, but every now and then, one really shines. I'd be grateful if you can post which films did it for you. in particular, films that women found exciting.

[LikeMinds321 1,527]

I loved reading your post and have seen very few porn films because I don't find them appealing. But what you have shared does stir my interest.

 

Now finding them in my town will probably be the difficult part.

 

Thanks for the reviews!

[corkwan 20]

I'm glad you liked my review... I really think the first and the last film are the best ones. Most of these can be ordered online if you search using google. If it is a European site, make sure you can play PAL dvds if they are in that format.

 

now, i need to go outside for a play!

[ALilOEverything 901]

I wish I had at least one single title for you but I don't, much to my dismay.

 

Several years ago there was a woman on a talk show (Jenny Jones) named Candida Royal (something like that) who was a porn star and decided to become a producer for porn for woman. She wanted to take out the money shot and have porn actors who were true live couples do the acting so there would be more than a sexual exchange between the two of them. She wanted to focus on the sensuality and not so much the sex itself.

 

On the show they had this video clip of a woman in a tunnel wearing sexy bodysuit with a spiderweb design and a man at her feet working his way up her calves, thighs and body. I was drop jaw and then started my quest to find the movie "The Tunnel". I searched every video store and magazine and it was no where to be seen (pre internet)

 

A few years later I worked for my Anatomy and Physiology professor who also taught Human Sexuality and I told him of my search. He wrote down the name to keep his eye out. He went to some convention about scientific sexual research and guess who had her own booth.... Candida Royal. She said her movie was no longer out there but took his name and address and made him (me) a copy of her personal copy. She mailed it to him who gave it to me. She was flattered I spent so much time looking for it.

 

I had a romantic evening all set and we popped in this movie... The Tunnel... And it SUCKED! It was the worst porn I had ever seen. There was supposed to be some deep meaning and I have to say... I didn't get it. And I like a little sex in my porn, something she forgot in the two movies I received from her.

 

So at that moment I gave up and resigned myself to watching movies where there is obviously no connection between the actors and it's obvious it's staged. I like to be convinced the actors have such an attraction for each other they just have to have it. I want to watch the build up of desire and have them succomb to it in an intense passionate way where I'm on the edge of my seat, dripping wet and can't wait to feel the same thing she's feeling at that very moment.

 

When you find what you're looking for let me know, it sounds like something I would definitely be interested in.

[corkwan 20]

heh, ya. films that try to be too high-brow often miss the mark. It is one of those things, if you try and be 'classy' you often end up tacky. You don't try, you just are.

 

My dad is a film maker, he jokes about doing pornos in his old age, but he's just done documentaries. What I do understand is that making a film, like writing a book, is not a trivial task. It takes a great degree of talent and skill to realize your artistic vision.

 

Some films suck because that talent and skill is not there. other films suck because the artistic vision clashes with your own personal taste...

 

Anyway, I'll report back here as/when I find anything else which I think doesn't suck... no guarantees it won't suck for you tho.

[EvilMJ 65]

Interesting topic..I never really thought about it before but it is food for thought.

 

Thanks for the info....

 

Thank goodness I speak French

[graygo98 148]

Andrew Blake's more femme friendly, higher production values, finished look. But the actors are all airbrushed perfection and the plots are usually ridiculous. And those soft-focus shots.... spare us!

 

Cameron Grant is supposed to be a bit more gritty, but certainly not in the money shot genre. We have only seen the Dinner Party, which is a swing-themed evening where all the quests at a dinner party share their fantasies, which are acted out in little vignettes one by one before the whole group gets busy. If it was a little more explicit -- ok, a little raunchier -- it would be more interesting. Still, something suitable for background mood setting.

 

Pretty short list, isn't it? If each little "experiment" didn't cost about $60 for a DVD it might be longer.

 

Oh, there is one amateur bit I picked up off Kazzaa, two middle-aged couple in a soft swap, that was one of the most compelling little bits of eroticism that I have seen... middle-aged sags and all.

[clit pro poet 15]

Sorry not to have caught up to this thread before. Good topic - and responsive to the times. Porn's a sensitive one here too - mentioned obliquely in our intro to Swingersboard a few months back. Thanks all, for the input. We're searching whenever we get a moment.

 

Maybe y'all have bracketed in on an answer already - that film isn't quite up to the job of portraying unrestrained play. Maybe the medium just can't do it - or does it rarely. Actors maybe look bored or unhappy because they're setup to get a film out, on time, on budget, without undue inspiration or risk. Sound familiar? It's how we have to think sometimes to make a living, not how we like to entertain or be entertained.

 

Film has conveyed countless love/romanitc/lusty scenes - to make your mouth water and moisten other places as well. But when it comes to couples, you get dark movies of draining entanglements, selfishness, and betrayals. Just having company and play doesn't happen on the screen without baggage.

 

So it's usually boredom, power, or depressing endings? Bring on some stuff that's just plain sexy!

[RogerDaily 15]

I wish that more porn was produced with some care for composition of the movie itself. You are right about the actors needing to be motivated and good looking. My lady has told me a thousand times that she can't stand Ron Jeremy no matter how "big" he is.

 

Money shots are just that in Porn, but they can be cool too, you can't have some lame dribble. They need to save up for a while or get some Ginseng tea or something, like Peter North. That is cool to see a guy spray, because it shows that he is into the girl too. I have to go right now, but I will "come" back to this later.

[amid 91]

As a male I would agree that most porn sucks and that I have found some of the female directed films to be the best. There is one in particular that I can't seem to find, it was fantastic. It was called "my first time" or something similar to that and it starred an Actress named "Angel" if I remember correctly. This is the story of a girl and her first lesbian or bisexual experience. In the end she has some great sex with a mattress salesman when she shops for a mattress since she moved out and is on her own again. If anyone has a suggestion where to look for it please let me know.

[sepacouple 15]

The movie you are talking about is called "Things Change- My First Time". It is by Paul Thomas and was released by CalVista in 1993. Although none of the actresses are named "Angel" I am pretty sure that this is the movie since you described the plot line pretty good and yes I would have to agree that it is one of the few good ones out there. If you do a search on google by the title there are several places you can get it from.

[GerdOEvert 51]

I have seen some Porn produced in France, and it is SO much better and less gross than what we get here. Professionally done. But I think it cannot be imported.

 

Try "So Good" The best I have ever seen, and gentle sensual sexual fun.

[Wellwhatever 15]

I'm a man, and I don't like the so-called "money shot" stuff either. Seen one, seen 'em all. Also, I don't understand why having good production values or the semblance of a plot is somehow a gender-specific thing; I wonder if people speaking of it as such prevents producers from going that route for fear they're losing much of their audience.

[Zoe&Wash 93]

I'm not sure if this'll fill the bill or not, but there's a new movie out from Adam & Eve Productions called "Pirates" which looks very promising.

 

Judging by the Trailer, it looks like someone actually put time, effort and thought into this one - not to mention a little cold, hard cash! We're already on the waiting list at Blue Door for it as soon as it becomes available.

 

Has anyone already seen it?

[BodyScape02 21]

Great thread... thanks for starting it.

[the 2 of us 15]

I was in Maryland for work and hear a great interview with Janine on the radio.

(Janine is a porn star that has been around awhile - you would love her if you like Tattoos)

 

She said it was the most expensive Adult Film yet. And that they used the same ship from Pirates of the Caribbean.

I will rent it.

 

BTW it was a cool interview because she was talking about how she handles introducing her life as a porn star to her kids. Her oldest is an 11 year old boy who knows what his mom does. She said she just makes everything at home as natural as she can. And in fact never has men over to the house. She was funny saying that if she wasn’t a porn star she would never get laid, because she has no personal life.

 

Since we have 3 young kids I am not sure how I would handle that.

Is she the hot brunette who was married to Jessie James (the monster garage guy)?

[the 2 of us 15]

Is she the hot brunette who was married to Jessie James ( the mosnter garage guy)?

Yes I think she was married to him - they talked about that but didn't say his name.

She said that was a very ugly break-up.

 

She is the one on the far left on the trailer page.

[BodyScape02 21]

She is one of Mr. bodys all time favorites ( from her days with Andrew Blake) .

 

Now for me... I like the Jenna Jameson videos... great production values.. ( and fantasy sets and the sex is never degrading.).. it is something I am comfortable projecting myself into.

[BigDave 15]

I would just love to see more reality in porn that pertaines to swinging, or threesomes with the real plots that happen in real life.

Some of my wildest fantasies are those recollections or our experiences. The most sexy part of some of our threesomes, were how they began and the thoughts, and sex fantasies that lead up to them. The buildup. The phone call. The tense moments before while everyone was thinking of the same thing, but not knowing how to start it.

 

Where are the porn flicks with those themes? Where are the ones, with the husband trying to convince his wife for months on end to go with him to a swingers club and all her resistence to it, only to have her go wild with lust once she tries it never to go back?

 

Where is the nice prim house wife with kids and a normal life who accidently finds herself in a hot tub foursome with her husband and old friends?

 

Where is the flick with the wife's first threesome with her husband and hid buddy and all the days that lead up to it?

 

Most porn that I have seen really sucks yet if you read some fo the stories about sex by real people, they are really erotic. Only if some fo them could be made into movies.

[PrivateDance42 17]

Having carefully researched this topic - I think the definitive web source for information and reviews of quality lesbian porn is lezlovevideo.com - and some of the best video representations of lesbians in action are produced by a studio called Thursday Night Video.

 

If you are new to lesbian porn, you will notice a number of major differences from mainstream porn which often depicts female on female sex in an entirely unrealistic manner.

 

Using Thursday Night Video productions as an example: Expect things to move very slowly, panties come off 15+ minutes into a scene. Lots of kissing. No fake moaning. No toys. Simple camera angles. Very few closeups. Real orgasms portrayed in an unexaggerated manner. The women really seem to enjoy one another - they appear as amateurs without any sense that they are acting. They are beautiful in a very natural way, not overly made up, and not artificially enhanced. Anyone who thinks they might enjoy this type of 'porn' might want to check out a video called 'Three Girlfriends' by Thursday Night Video.

 

For online lesbian porn, there is one site that is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of quality and value - Sapphic Erotica. The website includes extensive picture spreads and videos which are downloadable. Daily updates.

 

Quality lesbian porn should appeal to members of both sexes - it certainly does in my household.

[fille 15]

The two things that bother me about most porn are (a) it's mostly closeups (extreme closeups!) of genitals, and (b) the actors are unattractive (which I guess doesn't matter so much if (a) applies). Secondarily, the lack of even a few seconds of plot set up.

 

I think most women need some type of set up for the action. Not a whole story line - they are usually stupid anyway - just a minute or less of "who are these people and why are they here?" Also, many of us need to see more than just the vaginal closeup. It's the entirety of the bodies, how they move together, the facial expressions, all together that make it erotic. And, if you are going to look at the bodies as a whole, they need to be reasonably attractive.

[BradAndJanet 70]

LOL_OMG, I know the two movies you're talking about and like 'em both. They're a far cry from some of the gonzo style porn being made today and I think women would find them appealing. Pandora's Mirror has an especially hot female-centric scene at the end that's set in a swing club. Whew...I ought to dig that out again!

 

I first saw Devil in Miss Jones with a girlfriend. I think she liked it. We never saw the end.

[fille 15]

Actually there are a few oldies but goodies that I have enjoyed. One is called "The devil and Ms Jones". The hubby says there's a whole crapload of em out there, and one of the characters is "Stix" from happy days lol. The other one is called "Pandora's Mirror" it's older (like from the 70s). Both of these have an actual story line, some of the acting isn't even bad...

 

For the most part, I don't like much porn. Hubby has some french porn but I always giggle when they say "Uiiiiii Uiiiiii Uiiii".

 

Yeah, I love the old ones. You can't beat "Behind the Green Door."

[LOL_OMG 130]

Behind the Green Door, Deep throat, Pandora's Mirror, Devil in Miss Jones, even the Johnny Wadd(John Holmes early movies), had somewhat of a plot. Actually a good bit of the 70's porn films tried to go with a story. As my better half mentioned above, the Dark brothers have some craxy movies, actually quite a few. When I saw the Devil in Miss Jones three and recognized the pimp as the same guy that played "Stixx the drummer" from Happy days I fell on the floor, but hey, we all have to make a living....:P Some of their movies are not for everyone, possibly on the sexist side, but if you have a sense of humor then both sexes might find them ok to watch. JMO

[AlterEggo 15]

Ya Know, it's funny I found this thread as the wife and I agreed that after watching the Wedding Crashers, how good it would have been as a porn flick. I haven't seen Pirates and Gladiators, but I was told that they were plot driven, but I'd really like to see a remake of Animal House, Road Trip, etc. as well done porns! Maybe some aspiring director will read this thread and revolutionize the industry.

[BradAndJanet 70]

... Actually a good bit of the 70's porn films tried to go with a story. ...

Ah, the good old days of porn...when women had bushes and the men had chest hair!

[Amanda69 24]

A great thread we have been searching for some "better" porn. We are not impressed with what is being offered out there currently.

 

Okay most of us watch them and some of us have learned a lot from them but recently there has been a definate change to scenes that I am not even going to attempt, doesn't fit with reality or simply eeeewwww.

 

1) The recent throat fucking scenes...woman laying down and he above, you can even hear her choking and see eyes bulging...won't be seeing me attempt this. My idea of sucking a cock includes me in full control above the member so I can pull back if and when needed.

 

2) Anal ...now don't get me wrong. I enjoy it when it is right (you know when this is not a great idea to do) but porn movies lately seem to show this is an easy, whenever you please type of activity...sorry...not built that way.

 

3) Anal then pulling out the cock so she can finish him off in her mouth eewww wipe that thing off will ya.

 

4) Fingers in the anus...love it...then putting them in her mouth eeewww again wipe those things off.

 

5) Spitting on body parts...you can stick your fingers in your mouth and put moisture there, you can put your mouth down and give it some moisture but do not spit on my body parts thank you.

 

6) Cum shots where she dribbles, drools and spits...guess they hadn't been told not to play with their food.

 

7) and while we are at it, what happened to plain old fuck scenes, why does everything have to be a contest of athletics...yeah we all love to try new positions but please................

 

We are going to check out some of the recommended videos....

[OttawaCuple 15]

Thanks for a great thread!! So far I've noted down 7 videos to look for

 

Our cable company (Rogers) has a movie channel that you get when you order The Movie Network that puts on 2 Adult Films every night after midnight. They're pretty good quality, have Romance-Novel-Gone-Wild plots, and most show LOTS of him going down on her, which really turns my crank.

 

We're usually not up at that time, but we record them for viewing another time.

 

Watching porn can be a great way to let your partner know what sends you wild. All you have to do is mumble "Oh, I LIKE that!!" when you see something particularly appealing going on, and with any luck, he'll try it out on you right then and there

We own it! This porn film is awesome, and I stress film. There's great lighting, beautiful costumes, peripheral characters that don't have sex (I don't know why that matters but it does for some reason) It's funny and has intelligent dialogue (which sometimes the actors have a hard time with, but that part is humorous too.) It even has special effects! Can you imagine VFX in porn? It's hot, definitely the best show quality porn I have seen, I thought I could find other porn like it, but I haven't yet.

 

It's a three disc set with an HD disc, Special Features disc, with widescreen and full screen edition, the feature runs about two hours, so definitely make a night of it with candles and wine. There's a little something for everyone in this porn with several girl/girl scenes which I was particularly into (jury is still out on the girl catfight/lovemaking session but even that got the blood pumping ) Also several nice male /female (with plenty of build-up) scenes, and a threesomes. Oh yeah with all that hot screwing, did I mention there was a story-line too? and several sub plots, that made sense.

 

When compared with other porn it blows them away, lol at least stuff I'm, familiar with, and please give me the pepsi challenge, because I want more porn like this!!! It's great and I highly recommend you buy it!!

[TeamSoBe 36]

When Strangers Meet is a 'reality porn' DVD that features a series of scenes where the porn stars have never met before. The director interviews the porn stars before the meeting, then brings them together on camera and has them chat for a bit, then they get it on.

 

Women that I know of who have seen this one LOVE THIS FILM. Everybody knows what terrible actors porn stars are so it's obvious enough that the premise of the video is for real, and that's hot by itself. Plus just about every one of the women is very very pleased when she's introduced to the guy, which makes the scenes a lot of fun to watch. All of the guys, not just the girls, are good looking, one in particular. In fact all of them are better looking than the women.

 

Once the action starts it's just as raw and hardcore as any other porn flick so this is a film that's uniquely suited for viewing by both men and women because women get the setup that they like and men end up with the visual payoff that they like. But the premise and the setup really are pretty unique. I hope to see more like this from this director. His other gonzo stuff is pretty degrading.

 

It's a little like watching a staged swinger reality show, "You're going to play with.... the envelope please?"

[prettylady 221]

Before reading this thread I would have said Female friendly porn is an oxymoron. I really am not comfortable watching porn. Could never really understand the appeal to having a couple men ejaculate on my face. I think I will try these movies and see what comes of it. Perhaps I will be converted.

 

Thanks for putting this idea out there.

 

[MissKat 15]

One of the first videos I ever saw was a Nina Hartley one celebrating 25 years of the Lifestyles Convention. Obviously aimed at people in the lifestyle and those interested in it so, if you're looking for something with swingers content then it could be a good choice (I found it hot as hell LOL).

 

Otherwise, if you're after something that isn't the mainstream type of porn and is really accessible to women then I couldn't recommend anything better than AbbyWinters

 

Apart from their site they've got a range of dvd's you can purchase and they are just gorgeous. The girls (its only girl-girl) are all so stunningly natural and light years away from the plastic looking porn stars you see everywhere else. Pretty much just the girl next door minus the overly fake set-ups, terrible story lines and awful acting.

[debrayork 15]

Nothing beats homemade porn..real people real houses...no stage.

[sapphire68 15]

I always thought they showed the cum shots on pornos simply to prove the guy did it. But I never thought about it the way you are stating. It does seem that way now that I think about it. It's very hard to tell when a woman is reaching orgasm on a porno.
