A new collection of erotic short stories has arrived at just the right time to get swept up in the Twilight/True Blood vampire frenzy. The difference between Edward Cullen and the vampires and other horrors you’ll find in Bitten (edited by Susie Bright) is that the latter are not afraid to bare their teeth. Here’s a quote from the review in the Sacramento News & Review:
For some readers, for example, the exquisitely detailed Victorian flogging scene in Cate Robertson’s “Half-crown Doxy†or the voyeurism described in Donna George Storey’s “The Legacy†could be considered the height of risqué. For anyone lightly versed in the sketchier corners of certain bookstores, though, they don’t even register on the radar, particularly because those elements are the only parts of the stories that could be considered “dark.†In a compilation that advertises itself as being full of “sexy-spooky, ethereal carnality,†they get lost in the shuffle.
On the other hand, when that perfect stomach-roiling blend of the bizarre and the carnal is achieved, what emerges is spectacular. The authors have chosen their words carefully, rendering erotic acts in such precise language that it makes reading Bitten on public transportation the tiniest bit awkward, but in a good way. Sera Gamble’s “The Devil’s Invisible Scissors†is one of these great selections, mixing a snappy, interesting narrative with blatant exhibitionism, along with just a smidge of commentary on the classic definitions of good and evil. In the same vein, Anne Tourney’s “The Resurrection Rose†offers a mini-exploration of sexual taboos from the time of the French Revolution to the present, starring a vampire-aristocrat-carnivorous-flower threesome.
Strange? Yes. Incredibly hot? Absolutely.

Lithuania’s first erotic museum has opened its doors in the country’s second city Kaunas.
The museum is located in the centre of the city in the cellar of the once famous ‘Metropolis’ restaurant.
The owner Vidas Kontrimavicius started collecting erotic material about five years ago.
Inspired by museums in other countries Kontrimavicius decided to share his enjoyment of erotica with his countrymen.
‘The idea to establish the first public erotic museum in Lithuania came to me when I saw similar museums in other countries.
‘Visitors can see how the naked human body has been reflected in art and in various items.
‘And, I suppose, they will understand that erotica is nice,’ said the museum owner.
Around 300 items are exhibited in the museum.
They include ten dolls dressed in lingerie, examples of old erotic pictures and photos, books on the subject and even bags in the shape of women’s bodies.
For one visitor the museum has the capacity to be educational as well as titillating.
‘This museum is fairly educational, especially for the peoples who are afraid of such things. As it’s just opened it is quite good, I like it,’ said visitor Justinas.
It was the erotic images that most caught the eye of another visitor.
‘For me the most impressive thing was the old photos, because I have not seen such images before. Maybe some people do have these images, men for example, but they are not normally shown in public.
It’s very interesting indeed, because I have not seen anything similar before,’ said Jurga.

Here’s an article that was sent to me this morning. Equality through public nudity? Hmm. Well, I guess this is one way to go about it! Fun for the exhibitionists, that’s for sure… and for the voyeurs…
For far too long, there has been a double standard for women. While enjoying recreational activities, men have the freedom to go topless, splaying their manboobs to anybody within site. While women are forced to hide their magnificent mammaries under bras, bikinis, and the titillating yet ultimately disappointing; wet t-shirt.
Now is the time for women across the globe to break free from the shackles of double standards, and let their wonderful breasts be free!
In honor of Women’s Equality Day, it has been declared that Sunday August 23rd shall forever be known at NATIONAL GO TOPLESS DAY!
This year is the 2nd anniversary of the festivities with events planned in Miami, Portland, Venice Beach, Chicago, New York, and Maui.
Women, make sure to mark your calendar and let freedom ring!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — from www.wsmv.com – Tennessee’s first male strip club is open in Nashville and, so far, owners say the controversial club is a success.
Arrow Nashville opened over the weekend. Since then, co-owner Cole Walker said, hundreds of guests have come through the doors on Fifth Avenue downtown.
The club is legally licensed to feature nude men and is open for both men and women.
The club stirred some controversy before opening, but the club’s attorney said it’s been smooth sailing.
Club owners said they have already had more than 40 mid-state men apply to be dancers. So far, the club has employed 20 men.
The club has a grand opening scheduled for later this month.

from www.thefrisky.com – We love the idea, in theory, of a porn magazine for women. Unfortunately, Filament, a British for-women-by-women porn mag, is having a lot of troubles. First, the above-the-waist photos of “feminine†male models, which Filament‘s editors said academic research proved women are attracted to, were not pornographic enough for us. Sorry, but Rufus Wainwright clones don’t make us hot. Fortunately, the mag listened to the complaints and is trying to, um, fluff their content by including guys with erections in the next issue. But now Filament‘s publisher has stated it will not allow them to print pictures of aroused men. [Guardian UK]
According to an entry on Filament‘s LiveJournal, after the magazine stated its intention to do a series of photos depicting men with erections, their printer wrote them to say:
“I can now herein formally confirm that we would NOT want to print material of this nature, which although likely to perhaps only cause offense to a small number of actual staff, may unfortunately create much bigger and more serious far reaching problems for us with other clients—particularly those in the women’s/religious sectors, who could potentially withdraw their own work in protest as a result.â€
The editors of Filament added that they cannot change publishers because this particular printer is 30 percent cheaper than the others. So, we guess there’ll be no peen for us girls. Rats!
We understand that losing other customers is a legitimate problem for a printing business to be concerned about. But we can’t help but be cynical and wonder if the publisher would have had the same problem if Filament was a (far more common) porn mag for men with pics of naked women? Is the problem just that Filament is porn, which, presumably the publisher knew when it took the magazine on as a client? Or is the problem that some people just can’t handle the idea of chicks being as sexually ravenous as dudes?

It all started innocently enough with a book called Eros vinyls, put together by Mathieu Flory.
His book presents a collection of 400 LP record covers whose unifying theme is the “eroticâ€. This was all Paris’s Erotica Museum needed to select 120 covers, pop them on one floor of its multi-storey building and invite visitors to look back at how record-sleeve artists have worked with the idea of eroticism over the last six decades.
The whole thing is organised into musical genres – French, Jazz’n’Blues, Cabaret, Rap & Hip-Hop etc. – but also into what curator Alain Plumey calls “topicsâ€. A topic, it seems, can be anything from “Stockings†to “Tie Me Upâ€.
The tasteometer plunges right down with many of the covers, which can involve women drenched in honey, or toting automatic weapons. As they do. You’re left wondering what people thought they were designing, particularly in the 1970s. But you are often forced to acknowledge their ingenuity.
The exhibition lives up to its promise to move through all the decades and includes covers from artists like Julie London, Betty Page, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin. Hard-core rap could hardly be left out (and who better than 2 Live Crew?) but the collection is sufficiently well-balanced that they’re the sole representative and a few steps away you’re examining the sleeve for a recording of Offenbach’s Vie Parisienne.
One visitor at the exhibition says that it’s only when you see the albums collected in this way that you think of them as deliberately erotic. “I was surprised to see them because I really didn’t perceive most of them as erotic or overly sexual,†the young woman says. “I just think it’s marketing and promotion and selling something. But it was interestingâ€. Visitors to the exhibition, says Plumey, tend to be young. This is not for want of risqué pictures, but because of the newfound interest in vinyl LPs.
Assembling a collection like this is much easier than it used to be, says Plumey, since you can find anything on the internet. A copy of the Village People’s 1979 Sleazy or Ice-T’s 1988 Power is probably out there somewhere on the web – for a price.
There’s always that elusive album-sleeve however, and Plumey searches for the name of the one he wasn’t able to hang in the exhibit. “Jimi Hendrix with nude girls,†he says. “It’s one cover, famous one, really rare and expensiveâ€.
This then would be the scandal-starting, epoch-making Electric Ladyland and while Hendrix might not be on the wall of the exhibit, plenty of other big names are.
If it’s too early in the day to navigate the Erotica Museum, you can take yourself off to 25 years of the Mac at Paris’s Computer Museum.

Nielsen measures use of the internet just as it gauges the popularity of TV shows, and it has found that one in three visitors to porn websites is female. One such site user spoke to WTVJ for this article, quoted:
“I think women are more open with their sexuality,” she says. “I watch it alone. It gives you different positions and lets you be more creative with your loved one, helps keep the relationship spiced up.”
Adult film used to be accessible only to men, especially in the 1920s when it all got started. We’ve talked before about women becoming more avid fans of porn, but the article gets a little more interesting when sexologist Marilyn Volker likens women’s relatively newfound access to porn to other equal rights:
“Part of this, in women’s history, is just like the right to vote. Many women are saying ‘I want to be able to watch’,” she claims.
I don’t know about you, but I’m all for equality in porn just as in everything else in life.
Although Dr. Volker isn’t trying to pretend that all porn is sex-positive from a woman’s point of view, she thinks that there is plenty of adult film that can be great for women’s sexuality. And I’ve definitely noticed more porn for women by women, such as just about anything Nica Noelle ever does, especially her Sweet Sinner imprint (and I can safely say that I think a lot of my female friends would love it).

LOS ANGELES—Fans of American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert are not about to let Tom Jones’ followers outdo them. Rather than throwing boring old panties on the stage during the singer’s summer tour, they have taken to tossing sex toys.
“It’s going further, and somebody threw on stage a red-leather tasseled whip and then the next night, I got one that was made out of, like, purple fur. It’s getting really S&M,” he told E! Online. “I got some glow-in-the-dark handcuffs. It’s really getting creative. It’s exciting. I think they really want me to play with these toys during the number.”

Publishers Weekly asked famous erotica author Zane for an essay on writing… “Why I Write.” Here’s an excerpt:
Erotica is a specialty, no matter what some might think. It takes more than sitting down at a computer and churning out detailed sex scenes. That may work for a few books, but it could never last. True erotica is a journey. It is a mixture of clearly defined characters, a story line that has significance and, lastly, sex. I write my sex scenes last in most of my books. I am more concerned about everything else. I do not write for money. I do not write for fame. I write for the personal gratification that I receive from knowing that I have touched someone, helped someone and made a difference in someone’s life. That emotion and knowledge is priceless.
She has more to say in the article at Publishers Weekly. I think it’s well worth a read!

I’ve always heard that porn advances technology… it seems they also know how to adapt what’s already there!
From www.cultofmac.com – An adult video company has found a way to get porn onto the iPhone despite Apple’s restrictions on XXX apps.
Pink Visual has shot what it claims to be the first porn scene using an iPhone 3GS.
“We figured this was the next logical step in our ongoing fascination with the iPhone,†said Pink Visual spokeswoman Kim Kysar in a statement. “I think it’s safe to say we are the most ‘iPhone-centric’ porn company around.â€
Based in the San Fernando Valley (or Porn Valley), the company’s slogan is: “We innovate, you masturbate.â€
The new scene features “popular cougars†Lexi LaMour and Diamond Foxxx, [pictured] Pink Visual said, and is being published as a webisode on MilfSeeker.com (Definitely NTSFW).
The scene was shot by director Matt Morningwood, who said it was easy to shoot with the iPhone. The 3GS gave the scene a certain ‘cinema verite’ and was easier to get into tight spots than a big HD camera.
“If anything, it was too easy to shoot with the iPhone,†Morningwood said. “I’m used to HD cameras, boom mics, and all sorts of other peripherals being part of the deal. The only thing that was difficult was holding the phone steady with two knockout blonde cougars getting naked and going at in front of the camera.â€
Pink Visual is considering making iPhone footage a regular feature of its productions.
“The nature of the footage definitely augments the immediacy and realness of the scene,†Kysar said. “Shooting content on the iPhone is a viable option, and something special we can add to the mix now and again.â€

CNN’s just reprinted an article for OPRAH.com about the porn viewing habits of women. With adult films specifically for ladies becoming more common, it’s still a little bit of a surprise to see CNN and Oprah talking about it. As it happens more and more, though, maybe more women will become less squeamish. As that happens, the porn will get better and maybe less cliched. (It’s a well-known fact that guys will jerk off to things that we girls will just find laughable, because women are more discriminating about erotic stimulation.) Studios like Sweet Sinner will hopefully become more common and produce smut for ladies to get off to instead of laughing at. And hey, even the male XXX performers are getting hotter… just look at James Deen, AVN’s Male Performer of the Year, or Alan Stafford. I say the more mainstream attention porn gets, the better it is for those of us who already love it!

Porn star Satine Phoenix has a personal message for you. Well, you and 2,779 other people.
“I’m going for wild ’70s bush,” she declared to her many Twitter fans one evening not too long ago. She was making merkins — pubic wigs.
In a word: hot.
Jiggly Poof, meanwhile, was “snuggling with my teddies in bed.” And over in Miami, Sinnamon Love [Twitter link] was getting ready for her second tattoo of the day: “Want to watch me live???”
These porn stars have plenty of company. Porn people of all types — directors, stars, producers, and webmasters — are using Twitter to communicate with fans.
It’s a powerful form of media with huge potential for outreach. “How often can a person write something, post a picture, or ask a question and receive a handful, a dozen, or hundreds of thousands of responses in minutes?” asks Ari Herzog, an online media strategist. “The adult entertainment industry is no different than any other industry: The purpose of business is to sell something. If a Twitterer can reach just one person, and that one person can tell others, then that’s a virus you want.”
But does everyone really need to know if a famous star is having a ham sandwich for lunch? Do online users want to get hourly updates — the director’s cut of Shaving Ryan’s Privates is now online! — or just hear from you once or twice a day?
Good questions. And we’ve got some good answers.
First, some basics.
Twitter is a social networking service, which puts it in the same category as Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace. But it’s different, and you’d be smart to understand its special potential and limitations.
Here’s how it works. You sign up and then start sending out “tweets” — short messages with no more than 140 characters. Unless you “lock” your account, anyone can visit the Twitter website and read your tweet; some people will choose to “follow” you so they get your messages automatically. You can also “follow” other people.
So what should you say in these messages?
Here are some no-no’s: Don’t spam people with tons of links. Don’t tell them boring details about your lives (unless they’re sexy). And don’t treat all of Twitterworld as one giant gob of people instead of many individuals with individual needs.
“If you want to be successful you will need to get to know your followers on a more personal level, respond to their replies and direct messages with personal messages,” said Peter Housley, CEO of Naughty Tweet LLC. “The stars that are really making this work spend hours a day actually communicating with their followers, not just sending out messages like, ‘I’m on Cam RIGHT NOW’ or ‘I’ll be Feature Dancing at XXX Club Tonite.’”
Marie Luv [Twitter link], Belladonna [Twitter link], and Jayla Starr [Twitter link] are examples of stars who tweet hundreds of times a day with sincere quotes and photos, Housley said. (Yes, you can post photos through a service called Twitpic.)
Porn star Stoya [Twitter link] told a social media consultant in an interview that, “Since ‘fans’ find me on these social networking sites and talk to me, I talk back. It would be rude not to.”
And what about webmasters? What should they do with Twitter?
Housley said webmasters operating solo-girl sites should get the girls on Twitter. “Big network sites need to find unique ways to provide user interaction through Twitter. We’ve seen some interesting attempts so far like Pink Visual tweeting during a shoot, but I think there is a lot of room yet to go.”
Lisa Weinberger, CEO of the online marketing firm Pearly Writes, said webmasters should be careful about spamming Twitter followers with constant links.
“If you are coming to Twitter to grow your network and drive traffic to your site or blog, you need to make connections, and yes, making connections takes time,” she said. “You can create a community of specific followers and market your tweets toward your community, but the biggest thing is interact. Just tweeting ‘noise’ will get you nowhere.”
Another bit of advice, courtesy of Housley: “Don’t fall for the ‘We’ll get you 10,000 followers in 10 days’ schemes. They don’t work.”
If you jump on the Twitter train, check out the various types of software that are available, many of them for free. Some of the experts interviewed for this story recommended Tweetdeck, and it’s my personal favorite. It helps you broadcast tweets and track incoming messages while also keeping an eye on Facebook; you can even send messages to both Facebook and Twitter at once.
If you follow hundreds or thousands of people, Tweetdeck can help you create “groups” of people you actually care about, meaning you don’t have to read all the messages from everyone else.
Other recommended Twitter tools include Twhirl, HootSuite, and Twellow, along with Splitweet, Monniter, and TweetLater. Sites like yfrog.can host your photos.
You can also find Twitter programs for iPhones and Blackberries.

I always wondered if we would ever see the day when adult websites would start paying attention to the other half of the population. You know, those of us without the Y chromosome? After all, XX is just one letter away from XXX. Yep, there are now smut peddlers trying to cater to us girls! Isn’t it nice to know we’re wanted? Read what they’re saying about what we like — do you agree?
I’ve got to say that I like the idea of a portal site that the article mentions (personally I like the Lusty Library for that), and yes, I do like a bit of gay porn from time to time. Bisexual porn is also really hot, naturally. Porn sites thinking about what’s good for ladies is a smart move and one that I’m sure I’m not alone in appreciating.
While I’m on the subject, here are some of my new personal favorites!
