Promo for BrightDesire.com

Ms. NaughtyFemale porn director Ms. Naughty (also known as Louise Lush) creates erotic films that focus on connection and intimacy. She often works with real-life couples in order to capture the chemistry and emotion that is typically present when people who know each other have sex. She also makes erotic short films that can be humorous, experimental or simply arousing. Her work also includes small documentaries and documentary-style explicit scenes that explore the dynamics of relationships.

Ms. Naughty began working in the adult industry online in 2000, originally making small erotic sites aimed at straight women. In 2003 she has jointly created ForTheGirls.com, one of the first adult sites for women. She taught herself filmmaking in 2008. Her site BrightDesire.com is her main focus and it features all of her films.

The erotic films of Ms. Naughty’s have been screened at a wide selection of film festivals including The Berlin Porn Film Festival, Cinekink, East Bay Briefs SF, The British Fetish Film Festival, Popporn Brazil, Muestra Marrana Mexico, Goodvibes Quickies, The Perverotic Queer Film Festival and the Sexy International Film Festival.

In April 2017 Ms Naughty was named Indie Porn Icon at the Toronto International Porn Festival (formerly the Feminist Porn Awards). She also received an “Oyster” award at the PorYes European Feminist Porn Awards in October 2017.

Her films have won several awards at festivals over the past few years. “See Me” won Best Sex Positive Film at SECS Fest 2017. “Trinity won “Best Orgasm” at East Bay Express Briefs and an Honorable Mention at Cinekink in 2017. “Hand Jobs” won Best Cinematography at EBX  Briefs in 2016.  Her film “Dear Jiz” won Best Experimental Short at the 2014 Cinekink NY festival and “Tease” received an Honorable Mention the next year. She has also won 4 Feminist Porn Awards. In 2015 Bright Desire was an Honored Website and “Instructed” won Best BDSM Scene.”Connections” and “Something Better: Performers Talk About Feminism And Porn” won Honorable Mentions in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

The Feminist Porn Book, released in 2013, has a chapter by Ms. Naughty about her career making online porn and “porn for women”. She spoke on that topic at the Feminist Porn Conference in Toronto in April 2013 (you can find a video of the presentation is here). At the 2014 Feminist Porn Conference she spoke on two panels: Feminist Porn: What It Is, What It Isn’t and Why It Matters and Pornographers Without Borders and screened several of her films. Her summary of that conference appeared in the September 2015 issue of the academic journal Porn Studies.

She has a chapter in Jiz Lee’s book Coming Out Like A Porn Star, discussing the stigma surrounding working in porn.

She also has had her erotic fiction published in Best Women’s Erotica 2009 and 2012 (the latter under the name Louise Lush).

Her work is discussed in Anne Sabo’s After Pornified: How Women Are Transforming Pornography and Why It Really Matters, Helen Vnuk’s Snatched: Sex and Censorship in Australia, and Audacia Ray’s Naked on the Internet: Hookups, Downloads and Cashing In On Internet Sexploration. Her work has also been referenced by numerous academics in their papers, including Professor Alan McKee of UTS Sydney, Associate Professor Lyn Comella of the University of Nevada and Dr. Zahra Stardust. Her work is regularly recommended by sex therapists such as Cyndi Darnell.

Prior to her erotic career Ms. Naughty was a freelance journalist, writing regularly for Australian Women’s Forum. She was also a librarian for a major Australian media company.
