Bookshelf Revisited: Rereading the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy

Long before 50 Shades of Grey, Anne Rice wrote an erotic trilogy about Sleeping Beauty under the pseudonym A.N Roquelaure. I read the books sometime in high school, but when I found out she was releasing a fourth book in the series, I decided to reread them to see if they still held up more than […]

Book Review: Sexy Sailors edited by Neil Plakcy

Oh, lovely men of the water! Not that I have anything against the Navy, but what a relief to see that Neil Plakcy’s edited collection Sexy Sailors did not solely focus on gay men who were involved in military service. Military-themed erotica is a whole other people-in-uniform subset that one often sees in collections, but […]

Hot Reads: ‘Lush’ by Lauren Dane

Lauren Dane comforts me. When I’m stressed (which is often) or tired (ditto), I turn to Dane’s books. I think it’s a combination of factors: a) she was one of the first romance/erotica authors I got into (after buying Coming Undone at a Barnes & Noble on my lunch break), b) her dialogue and descriptions have […]

Encouraging me to polish my writing skills by reviewing her first book, An Experienced Mistress, and interviewing her for said former blog. 3. Here’s the biggie: turning me into a […]

Does Anyone (Outside of Naughty Books) Really Get That Wet?

Q: To counteract the insanity of the holiday season, I decided to treat myself to a number of romance/erotic novels. One thing that I keep wondering about is all these women who, when starting to get aroused, feel moisture on their thighs, or dripping down their legs…

By now, you know that we love sex, and you may also know that we’re big nerds who love to read. So we jumped at the opportunity to get a sneak peek at the second issue of Salacious, a queer feminist sex magazine.

Good Sex Without Bad Sax

Q: I’m looking for women-friendly porn and erotica (ESPECIALLY erotica) sites.  Dirty stories are my favorite thing in the whole wide world, but the only sites I know of are literotica (meh) and the Erotica Readers and Writers Association, which hardly updates and is less RAWR than I’m looking for most of the time.
