Chapter One
Wow, those were words I never thought I would type. Those who have read my previous adventures or who follow me on this site (thank you), may have me down as open to anything, but my public nudity has always been in safe places or where I can't be recognised. When I have been caught, it has sometimes been to my advantage with a fabulous photoshoot in a hotel bar in front of the barman or ending with a surprise threesome as it did with the Waitress and in the Changing Room.
I am absolutely not shy about getting kit off, I am proud of my body and enjoy showing it off; but these have always been strictly amateur and private -- I do not want colleagues at work where I am a senior manager to know what I get up to or, worse, see my pussy in all its glory and moist openness. However, here I was about to get fully naked and open for a top shelf magazine and it's website -- yes that's right, I would be naked in the pages in-between (as the J Geils band sang on Centerfold) with a longer set on the website and a very explicit video for subscribers. So how on earth had I got myself into this one.
As has happened before, Amy started it off, although completely innocently this time. She sent me a Whats App note which simply said she was meeting a new friend for lunch, I would probably be interested to meet her, would I like to join them. I was intrigued; Amy knows me well enough that she would not invite me unless it was up my street. A further exchange elicited the fact that Liz was the Editor in Chief of a range of top shelf Men's Magazines. She had just moved into Amy's village and had been recommended to meet Amy through a mutual contact. I love porn and was interested in meeting a female in the industry, so I freed myself up and duly turned up to a smart restaurant in town to meet them. Amy and Liz were already there in the bar with a large gin and tonic each and one waiting for me. Liz was a smartly dressed middle aged woman, of slim build with an attractive, intelligent face. After introductions and some general background chat I asked her the question we were both bursting to ask -- How did she get into editing porn magazines and what was it like?
"I have been working in Magazines for 30 years and been an Editor for 25," she said, "It's a cutthroat industry and I have been down in the trenches against a number of men over the years and generally won out. I was asked by the publisher if I could come in and review what they were doing. They were struggling against the easy availability of online porn and wanted to see if there was a way forward for physical magazines and subscription publishing or if they should start getting out. Initially this was on a consultancy basis. The world I entered is actually not much different from most of the rest of the magazine publishing world -- the magazines each have their house style to appeal to a particular demographic and stick rigidly to that. The girls chosen, the quality of the sets, the stories and articles are all chosen to reflect that audience and so each finds it's market and there is a plethora of magazines with subtle style differences. I was not offended by the content, but I felt it could be done better, such that the range of magazines could be reduced. I also recognised that a large percentage of the world's population is not considered -- they are not reflected in the demographic and style decisions. If women like porn, and I know many do, they get what is offered to men. I put a range of proposals to the publisher, covering everything from general efficiencies in publication, changes to the ranges to avoid duplication, linking the content better to the website and making the website and its subscription model a more attractive offer against the free porn sites. I also spoke to them about how important it was to be engaging to women."
"They offered me the fulltime job, agreed to many but not all of my proposals, but gave me carte blanche to take it forward." At this she smiled warmly at us both.
"I have been looking at the challenge of how to make porn more attractive to women, but it is difficult to get people to discuss it. When I moved into the village, I initially avoided mentioning what magazines I edit as I've found this tends to colour peoples view of me, but I guess it came out in a conversation with Sally and Clive who are my next-door neighbours. We were very drunk one evening and I confessed to my role, and they confessed to being swingers! Whilst I politely let it be known that my husband and I would not be partaking, I did ask them about it. They wouldn't tell me much, but did give away that Amy was the organiser as well as being a single woman -- I believe you are a referred to as a unicorn -- and suggested that anything I wanted to know about sex I should talk to you." She smiled warmly at Amy, who had flushed bright red and buried her head in her hands.
"So, ladies, lunch is on me, but you have to sing for your supper, I want to hear any thoughts you have about introducing more women to porn. To start, Mori, Amy has brought you along, how do you fit into this?"
"We share similar interest in sex, and she helped me organise the swingers sex party and was the first one naked," blurted Amy, enthusiastically, "and what she can do with three vibrators is impressive to watch......"
Amy tailed off and looked at me slightly embarrassed, as I rolled my eyes at Liz, who had raised her eyebrows at this.
"There is a bit more to me than that," I smiled to cover Amy's embarrassment, "I enjoy sex, enjoy getting naked in safe places or safely in public places and enjoy reading pornography, although like you, I am not sure it fully meets most women's needs. This is why I write sexually explicit material as a hobby and have currently 18 or so pieces published. As Amy says, I do like being photographed naked too and have a portfolio of professional and amateur shots. I came along today at Amy's invite because I thought it would be fascinating to talk to someone in the industry, particularly a woman."
"Gosh," said Liz, raising another elegant eyebrow, "I appear to have lucked out in finding the experts." Here she smiled warmly again. "I would love to have a look at your stuff to see how it matches or differs from what we publish, but let's go through and eat."
We headed into the restaurant, where we ordered a light lunch and a bottle of wine. As we sat waiting for the wine to arrive, I gave Liz details of how to find me on Literotica and passed her my phone, to look through the pictures that had been taken during Dani's Hen party, including some of the group ones showing Amy and Dani too. As Liz flicked through them, I noticed the waiter hovering behind her, looking from my phone in her hand and back to me. He blushed crimson when I blew him a kiss and hurried off.
As lunch arrived, Liz smiled again at us both and handed back my phone. "So, ladies, you are clearly both fully engaged, but what do you think the average woman wants from porn."
I kicked off, "I have given this some thought over the years and we have discussed it over a glass of wine on many occasions. Firstly, it is a misapprehension that women want only oiled, muscular male models and that they want artistic poses and romance. Women like explicit sex, they want to know what is happening, what it feels like, and they want it photographed or described in great detail. Frankly, if you want to be shocked, listen to a group of women in a bar or a staff restroom -- far more explicit than most men."
Amy and Liz, both nodded to this, so I continued. "However, most women do like some context, maybe not a full storyline, but what is happening and why. A sense that the woman involved is empowered and making her own choices. Most prefer reading the stories and seeing it in their imagination, but linking photosets to a story line would work."
Amy chipped in, "Women do like to look at other women, but also like to see a variety of models, not just the toned professional ones. We do like a more artistic focus in the way things are shot, perhaps occasionally sepia or black and white."
I interjected excitedly, "a close up of an open pussy in black and white, gives a totally different perspective. Interesting lighting can make it feel more intimate as well." I quickly passed Liz my phone with a couple of black and white shots of my spread pussy to demonstrate. This got both eyebrows to raise, and she lingered on the pictures for longer than previously -- long enough for the wine waiter to return, look and walk away shaking his head. Damn this white wine was going down well and I could feel my pussy moistening as we talked.
I continued as Liz passed back my phone, "A lot of men's porn feels transactional; beautiful girls, stripping their clothes frame by frame and then opening themselves up. The short piece accompanying the shoot will probably refer to how excited they were knowing they would be making men hard or leading to them masturbating over their body. There is a place for this, that is part of why I do it, although to date all of my shots have been for one man but it is still a massive turn-on, but perhaps a slightly different narrative is needed -- or simply that the woman is naked and shot beautifully and artistically."
Amy chipped back in with, "I think that there is also a place to show different body shapes, sizes, and ages; women find each other beautiful for all sorts of reasons. Amateur models may be a way forward."
"And maybe," I chimed in again, "as well as erotic stories and experiences, maybe articles and interviews with women about, say, sex before and after menopause; we know a fabulous woman who was doing porn shoots in the early 1970's and a naturist having regular sex with her husband into her 70's. Maybe even some straightforward how to's -- there are still some women who aren't sure where their clitoris is and how to pleasure themselves. The more advanced may want to know more about exhibitionism and even BDSM- although you will need someone other than me for that."
