This is a great little author's site by Sage Vivant. She has a new book out about finding your erotic personality, and she showcases it here along with a neat quiz (that helps you learn a bit about which personality type you lean toward). For what it is worth, I took the quiz and it seemed very accurate for me. The only thing I was sad about was that there wasn't a string of code to show off results in blogs, since I think that would really catch on for her and market her book well. She doesn't sell any of her work directly on the site, but she links to sites that do. You will find audio CDs, custom erotica, books, and long audio stories. There is also a cute erotic movie suited to your individual tastes, podcast, and free newsletter featuring info on the personality types. I thought this was a great little site, and I'll be showing the quiz to others. It is really female friendly! - Vamp

This is a re-review for a site that has grown considerably for yet another year. Photographer Jay Greenman has been updating constantly since our initial review in 2003. The layout is still fairly simple - visitors get a few free preview pages, each with several fullsize images of graceful nude portraiture. The preview does a great job of showcasing the flavor of the site as an homage to the female form in all it's beauty, which I found absolutely refreshing in today's superhardcore online world. In addition to the photos, visitors get a downloadable screensaver and a WMV formatted video clip. The free area is also home to a free e-card section, with over 50 ecards to choose from. Visitors can also see a listing of all the models inside, with a short bio and small image. Members have access to all the galleries, with weekly updates since 2002 - a couple hundred galleries, 54 different models, all original material. The photos are lovely, the kind of photography that is becoming more rare these days of simple, soft nudes. No action shots, no "pink", rather it does have the feel of celebrating, rather than exploiting, the models on the pages. Each gallery loads thumbnails down a lefthand column, and loads images in the main frame. If you want an even larger image, you click the medium sized one and it opens the highest resolution file. Another recent addition is video clips - right now there are just 4, with more in production. In keeping with the site attitude and theme, these are interviews with the models, or playful scenes such as pillowfights or baths. Videos were offered in both WMV and MOV formats. In addition to the recurring membership plan, you can opt for a non-recurring one month for $19.95. - Jane » More Info!

It's really very, very wrong of me to be reviewing this site, because it only joined Jane's impressive queue mere hours ago. Really, I had no intention of actually reviewing it, but the title grabbed my attention so compellingly that I had to snatch up the review for my own before another reviewer beat me to it, and then once I saw the link, I had to click on it and read just a bit of the site, and then a half-hour later when my chest hurt from giggling, I figured what the hey, may as well review it. How Not To Get Laid is Stewart Fox's reader-generated collection of what he calls "coitus rejectus." Readers send in stories of their painful, poignant, funny and frightening rejections, all for the amusement and edification of HNTGL readers. Have you ever had a date spend an hour cleaning the cat litter before she was ready to make out? Have you gone out with someone who carried a 5" hunting knife in her purse? You can read those stories and dozens more on 'How Not To Get Laid'. The site is nicely laid out and easily searched by category. You can rate the stories by means of stars. Now I'm going to wrap up this review and finish reading through the archives. - alwaysarousedgirl

This is the blog of Dr. Janice Epp, a Clinical Sexologist. She offers up a lot of sound advice about sexuality and sensuality in her journal entries, which often times deal with questions from readers. This is a great opportunity to get good quality information from an authority on the subject (while being able to remain anonymous). Some of the current topics include self-pleasuring and climbing out of the gender rut. A great resource!- Vamp

Ann is a contributing editor to Clean Sheets, and a darn good writer! Her personal site links to many of her articles (which are often based on her real life experiences), poems, blog, and erotic fiction. There are also links to several ebooks that she has written, and Amazon links to various anthologies that she has contributed to. Her work falls squarely into the category that I privately think of as "literary smut". It generally has quite a bit of character development and an emphasis on dialogue and story. The sex is a tool of the storytelling, and it reveals the characters rather than the characters simply revealing the sex. Great stuff! Don't miss it! - Vamp

This is a neat little site. It gives you reviews on websites, books, toys and movies, all from a couple’s perspective. Your webmasters are Cecilia and Alain. They don’t profess to be experts of any type but love to experiment and share their honest opinions with the world. The site has been up and running since February of 2006 so there are a good number of reviews to check out. The reviews themselves are fairly extensive and quite often will have his and her point of views. I would like to see the site continue to grow and become an even better resource for couples looking for great sex sites, toys and movies. This is definitely a good starting point if you want to surf with your partner.

This webzine is a real pleasure to call to your attention. It is a female focused sex positive site that features original erotica categorized as Vanilla (straight up old fashioned sex), Licorice Whips (BDSM), Dirty Martini (voyeurism, fetish, and group), and All About Oysters (lesbian sex). I didn't read everything, but it seems like the general tone is going to appeal most to the sophisticated reader of literary smut. In addition to the sexy tales you'll find here, there are two advice columns. One is called "Ask Jordon" and is written from the female perspective. One is called "The Book of Joe" and answers questions from a man's point of view. There is also a neat section that prints honest product and book reviews. It is always great to find another real review site in a sea of frauds! There is a cute "Sexoscope" section that provides your sexual horoscope, erotic poetry, and even some original artwork. It appears they have a neat little community going on over there in the forums, and they are actively seeking writers and artists for paid work. This is a great destination for anyone who likes the fine art of erotic writing. There is a small adult store attached to the site. - Vamp

I first read some of Vanna Vechian's Erotic stories back in 2002, and I liked them a lot back then and gave them a "Vamp's Pick" designation. Four years later, there are only more good things to say. The small collection of written work has exploded into a multitude of free stories, and the publication of some of her best work. Vanna loves to explore relationships in her pieces, whether those relationships are between a man and a woman or simply a woman's relationship with her own body. The emphasis is on eroticism and the the human condition rather than straight up pornography, and many of the stories are at least somewhat autobiographical in nature. If you are a Story of O fan, then you'll enjoy her contribution to that saga. Most of the time she writes from a female perspective, and there are quite a few BDSM inspired tales here. She points to other sites that contain her writing, as well as to her new ebook titled "Menagerie and other erotic stories." I highly recommend her to those who like their smut on the literary side. - Vamp

Pam Rosenthal writes extremely well received erotic historical romance novels. On this site you can read excerpts of them, and find out where and how to order them. In addition to her more mainstream novels, she has written a couple under the pen name Molly Weatherfield that threaten to become modern classics in the BDSM genre. You can check these out by going to her Molly Weatherfield page on the same site. She writes "almost a blog" that manages to give you a bit of a look into her world, and there is a complete bio here that allows you to get a good idea of who the woman behind the stories is. I found the excerpts extremely enticing, and recommend that you go take a look. Her writing style puts her head and shoulders above the crowd! - Vamp

The erotic poetry you'll find on this site is coquettish and sweet, but sometimes very naughty. Anne Tyson offers up four books of her original poetry that run the spectrum from slapstick cute to mild BDSM/damsel in distress stuff. Each book has several sample poems to read, and there is also at least one audio version (so you can hear what it sounds like spoken aloud). All of the stuff is one-on-one heterosexual, and the author says it is designed to be read aloud by women to men. The books are available for purchase through many outlets, including mainstream folks like Amazon. If you visit the site, be aware that there is audio on the index page that will alert anyone in the vicinity that you are visiting it. The sound comes from a sort of animated woman that you will see throughout the site. - Vamp

I love it when a site manages to honor the sexuality of romantic committed relationships in a way that is really hot! These SoundsErotic audio CDs take you on short aural fantasy rides that leave you panting and wanting more. The whole thing apparently came into being because the couple that own the site were looking for a way to spice up their relationship in a safe way that would fit into their schedule. They started trading spicy audio, and soon the idea for these CDs were born! They've commissioned voice and writing talent in order to present a wide variety of well written work that manages to heat you up for around 7-12 minutes, and then turn you loose on your partner. They offer around 7 SoundsErotic CDs (with the files in mp3 format) that you can buy in totality, or that you can simply purchase interesting individual tracks off of. They come in three different flavors: Sugar, Spice, and Spank! As you can imagine, the stories on the Sugar side are very romance novel like, while the ones on the Spank side are a bit naughtier. In addition to this, they offer Penthouse Audio CDs which bring Penthouse Letters, Forum, and Variations to life. (These are, obviously, sometimes quite graphic.) All of the stories I heard were female read, and from the woman's point of view. It seems that they are mostly targeting heterosexual women in committed relationships here. It is nice that someone hasn't forgotten that demographic, as they are a group widely ignored (in my opinion). There is good and original advice offered by a guest SEXpert Dr. Patti Britton which was actually worth the visit to the site all by itself. All the customer service, contact, and store info is easy to find and clear. My one issue? There is sound on the index page, so watch out when you decide to visit. » More Info!

Hmm... Well, this blog style gallery link list/writing site isn't organized in the most easy way, but it does offer somewhat hard to find content. You'll basically find something that looks like a journal which has little paragraphs that are supposed to entice you to click on the picture and see the gallery of mostly softcore images that are targeting at a female audience. There is also the occasional story or article written by the owner. I like that it is targeted toward women, as I don't see that often enough. - Vamp

One of my favorite things about the internet is that it allows for so many independent artists to present their work to the world, and I have a real soft spot for authors. Brenda Williamson has put together quite a collection of romance ebooks. They cover a broad range of genres from paranormal to historic romance. In addition to this, her site is an absolute goldmine for any aspiring writer. She has a yahoo group for writers and readers called "Romance Party", a guide of writer resources, and even a list of online authors. She even links to places that she has read to research stories. I just love that! I really enjoy writers acting as a community to support each other and to encourage new folks. » More Info!

I'm in love! This site was created by the same woman responsible for FurryGirl.com, VegSexShop.com, and VegPorn.com. In the words of the creator it shows, "Hot models doing something neat and natural that you'll rarely see in porn...having fun and getting off while menstruating." Having made a lot of homemade erotic art myself, I can tell you that one of the most shocking things a woman can do is one of the most natural and beautiful markers of biological womanhood...bleed. How this natural function of our sexuality became so mired in fear and taboo is beyond me, but this site challenges all that and has the guts to show women at their most natural and CELEBRATES them in that state. You won't see any demeaning language or words/actions that cast this in some sort of "freakish" light. This is natural, and that is exactly how it is treated. The site is still new, so there are just over 722 pics and 5 movies (with sound). Most of the images show masturbation or softcore posing, but some show hardcore heterosexual sex or lesbian sensuality. The models are a refreshing mix of body types, ethnic backgrounds, and lifestyles. They have plenty of space to explore their minds as well as their bodies in blogs and editorial content. You'll see lots of body hair, body art, and real curves. This is indie sex positive feminist porn at its best! The site states that, "Erotic Red stands as an proud outpost of sense and sensuality in a world of internet porn gone terribly crappy." I absolutely agree. It was a refreshing breath of fresh air to see women joyously exploring themselves without shame in a nurturing and female friendly space. Absolutely gorgeous. This sort of site is absolutely why I‘m in this business. - Vamp » More Info!

This is a brand new education site from the women who own and run my favorite sextoy store, Babeland. Devoted to info about the g spot (and the prostate, otherwise known as the "male g spot"), the site is replete with tips for stimulating either solo or with a partner. There is also a small section about female ejaculation, with the most current info and tips and techniques for achieving that, if it's what you're after. Since this is a site sponsored by the sextoy store, they have plenty of links directly to toys that are intended for either g-spot or prostate stimulation. The photos at the site are absolutely beautiful, full of couples of all orientations having a good time. » More Info!

I have to admit it, some of my favorite things to review are blogs. As soon as I see one in our list of sites to review, I can't wait to go take a look at it. I surf them during my work time and during my free time, and I have to tell you this is a new favorite. Cherry Bomb is without question one of the freshest new writers on sexuality that I've run into in awhile. She has a very frank, educated, and honest approach that made me literally have to tear myself away in order to get my job done. I could have sat here reading all day long (or at least till I'd read everything). A little about Cherry? She is a young beautiful woman in New York City who works at a sex toy store (and who also sells advertising for an alternative porn site). Throughout her blog you'll find original pieces of writing that run the spectrum from amusing anecdotes to educational feminist essays. Her pictures are gorgeous, but it is her mind that will keep you coming back for more. As I read through her writing, I found that I kept wanting to quote her in the review...but I couldn't figure out which quote to use! Ah...so refreshing. I think this bit of wisdom sort of sums her up though, "The point is, if you want to get laid, go hunt someone down on Craig’s List. If you want to get fucked, wander into a relationship without any idea of what you want or what the other person needs, and you’ll find out exactly what I mean." A wonderful queer woman that is begging for celebrity in my opinion. Bravo! - Vamp » More Info!

Few people qualify for the title "Sex Positive Goddess" more than Dolores French, who is a writer, civil rights activist, safer sex advocate, talk show regular, erotic phone consultant, prostitute, and professional dominatrix. She founded the group H.I.R.E (Hooking Is Real Employment - which is an advocacy organization for prostitutes) and has served on the Mayor’s Task Force on Prostitution in the City of Atlanta. She has also been a consultant to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in a study on prostitution and AIDS. Basically, if there has been a venue for her to express her intelligence, creativity, politics, and sensuality...she's explored it! This is both a personal and professional website with plenty of writing to satisfy activists (and the curious), as well as professional information about phone work and dominance. She has a 15 minute minimum on phone sessions and can handle both two and three way calls. Her specialties as a dominant include, "Mommy worship, erection training, sensual slavery, mummification, CBT, crossdressing, humiliation, painful adornment, and corporal punishment of every kind." You'll find everything from poetry to artwork here. Whether you are planning on booking a session or not, I recommend her site as a place to learn about a very fascinating and charming woman. » More Info!

Heather Corinna wears many hats: artist, writer, sex educator and activist, model and more. She runs Scarlet Letters as well as Scarleteen which is a sex ed site for teens. This site however is for adults, and it's truly the best of it's genre. In fact in some ways it defies being categorized because there is so little like it online. For free users, you'll find a few samples of each new photo set she posts. Lately the work is mostly hers, often with lovely self-portraits, other times with guest models. You'll find an update log right past the entry page to see what's new. You get current journal entries, a mix of day to day journal, poetry and photos (G rated on up) and a little bit of free reading in the non-journal sections of poetry annd prose. If you become a member, you get everything, which as of now is quite a lot. The journal dates back to 1999. The photo sets are well over 100 now with over 3,000 images. I browsed for quite a long time through galleries from years ago and galleries from last week. Pinup, fine art nude, couples, noir, there is just a lot to look at. New sets are posted usually 2-4 times a month. The site has a wonderful, sexy yet intimate tone, as Heather interacts with her readers in forums and comments, and has an approachable, friendly writing style. Doesn't hurt that Heather is a gorgeous redhead, with a body that shows the effects of her passion for kickboxing either. Not amateur, definitely not mainstream pornstar, yet undeniably erotic. Bias alert: Ms. Corinna is a good friend of mine. :) » More Info!
