In my interview the other day I said that part of producing “feminist” spanking porn is about presenting kink and sexuality in a positive, affirming way – so no women being spanked for being “slutty”, or anyone being made to feel ashamed for their sexuality. I was trying to sum up some very complicated issues [...]

new blogs to read
Posted by Pandora on April 26th, 2010
I’ve found a number of awesome new blogs lately. Well, not new, but new to me. They aren’t all about spanking, but Bonnie already keeps a comprehensive list of new spanking blogs, so there’s no point duplicating her excellent efforts! Still, I hope you find something here to enjoy. Woolf and WildeVintage photos of m/m [...]
Ideas on Sexual Politics
Posted by Pandora on April 24th, 2010
Some light reading for the weekend. This article by Anna Arrowsmith explains her approach to making pornography for women, and why she believes her work to be empowering and affirming for both participants and viewers. Before adult imagery can be condemned as exploitative in totality, there are a few things to consider. What about those [...]
my interview at SpankPlace
Posted by Pandora on April 22nd, 2010
It took me nearly two months to reply to the fabulous interview questions SpankPlace sent me, but they posted my answers within two hours of my replying. I am properly humbled. Also quite pleased, because otherwise I wouldn’t have time to write a blog post today, and this means I can post it while it’s [...]
‘Handcuffs’ by Erika Lust
Posted by Pandora on April 21st, 2010
A short while ago my friend J mentioned to me that he and his partner had watched Erika Lust’s short film Handcuffs, and been completely blown away by it. I saw it for the first time yesterday, and I have to say I agree. This is one of the most stylish, sensual, tense, beautifully filmed [...]
porn for women
Posted by Pandora on April 20th, 2010
I really enjoyed these paragraphs on the complications of producing porn for women in this in-depth review of Filament magazine: The question isn’t whether women want porn but what sort of porn to give them. That whole business of women not being “visual” has always rubbed me the wrong way (heh) and in today’s highly [...]
being in prison
Posted by Pandora on April 19th, 2010
It’s hard being in prison. I should know, I’ve been here since January 2007. My original sentence was only 12 months; in the meantime various misdemeanours must have earned me extra time, because I’m definitely still here. (This is why it’s difficult for me to reply to emails, or to update my blog every day [...]
Adele Haze’s secret
Posted by Pandora on April 18th, 2010
Adele has just done a fascinating interview for the latest episode of the Spanking Writers’ podcast. It’s been brewing a long while, and I’m delighted to see that she’s finally taken the plunge. It takes courage to come out, whatever the circumstance, but I know that Adele wouldn’t have shared this with you if she [...]
never enough hours in the day
Posted by Pandora on April 14th, 2010
Yet again work and vanilla commitments are taking over. There’s lots happening in my life at the moment, and it’s all very exciting – when things are a bit more pinned down I’ll hopefully have some news for you all! But in the meantime I’m struggling to keep afloat of my various commitments. (I know, [...]
a spanking podcast
Posted by Pandora on April 10th, 2010
This is a cool new initiative. Abel and Haron, two friends of mine famous as the Spanking Writers, have just launched their new project – SpankingCast. As far as I’m aware it’s the first ever spanking podcast. It’s like a self-published radio show; they post an audio file on the blog for users to stream [...]
