As lewd as goats and monkeys

I first read Alan Moore’s thoughts on pornography – not to mention the human obsession with masturbation and fucking, and the history behind all things erotic – back when it was an essay floating around on the internet. Like all things Alan Moore, it was a bit off-beat, I disagreed with some aspects but agreed with the overall drift, and (most importantly) it made me think.

As a hard-covered book, expanded and edited and chock-full of art both historical and modern? The above still applies. And I get to re-read it, admire it, and ponder more about it.

For Everybooty? Really Not

Tickle My Tush, by Dr. Sadie Allison, just annoyed me. There were bits where I laughed, sure. And even bits where I learned things. But for a book that purports to be for ‘Everybooty’? It’s really, really, not.

So who’s this book really for? That would actually be monogamous heterosexual couples who’re looking to experiment with anal play. It says as much on the copyright page, in tiny text.

Attractiveness

Guest post by Tethys, reprinted here with m’Lady’s permission. Original post, with comments, can be read here.

Earlier today i had a Twitter conversation about the looks of trans people in porn; and i felt it raised some issues i feel are better discussed in a blog post than within the confines of the Twitter 140-character limit.

My initial tweets were:

Bring back Buck!

aka Raunchy Review: Sexing the Transman XXX DVD

I think we all know by now I have quite the adoration for Buck Angel. He’s a sweetheart in person, has great boots to shine, and is a awesome role-model to write about as well. I’m also somewhat shameless, so when he mentioned on twitter that his latest DVD was out, I totally offered to review it in exchange for a copy! And because Buck is very nice, he said yes and sent one out.

SapioSlut debauchery

aka Raunchy Review: The Further Adventure of SapioSlut

I love reading the SapioSlut blog. I love reading all about the kink, the orgasms, the bug board, the boots, the exhibitionism, and the thoughtfulness about it all. I love that both SapioSlut and SapioSir write. I love how different their debauchery is to my own, and yet how it intersects as well.

(I also love that I am friends with them in real life – that’s definitely a bonus.)

Show me more!

Cross-posted at The Lady Garden. Yay!

Holy vulva, did I adore this movie.

I find something profoundly thrilling in seeing a group of people take that which is commonly perceived as private (or dirty, or wrong, or shameful, or simply not for public consumption) and delightedly show them as natural (or normal, or erotic, or amazing, or marvellous) instead.

Who let this dog out?

aka Raunchy Review: Fetish Fantasy Doggy Hood and Leash

Damn, but I keep procrastinating when I have to write a review and the product is completely crap…

Solar-powered

aka Raunchy Review: Solar Eco Friendly Bullet Vibe

Doesn’t this toy look elegant? You’d never believe that this was a Cal Exotics product, would you? The packaging doesn’t show any mostly-naked person on it using the toy, the bullet and charger looks nice, and it seems quite good quality . And there are no phthalates! (Bonus – the packaging is recyclable as well.)

This Solar Bullet is different from other bullets, in that it doesn’t require cell batteries in the bullet itself, or any AA or AAA batteries in the controller. What this provides instead is a solar-cell, with a plug-in jack for the bullet. This means you can unplug the bullet, put the cell on the window-sill, or beneath a turned-on lamp, and let it charge. It looks quite innocuous when charging, as solar-cells are used for other products that have nothing to do with the sex. The solar-cell even has a little LED on the side which glows blue when it’s charging, so you know if you’ve put it in strong enough light.

You say Potato…

aka Raunchy Review: Tantus Alumina Flow Dildo

There are a few linguistic differences between American English and New Zealand English. Some relate to the written word (like ‘color’ instead of ‘colour’) and some are spoken as well. Just one of those differences happens to be a word describing the material that the Tantus Alumina Flow is made out of.

All you readers, over there in the States, pronounce it ‘Aluminum’. We, here in New Zealand, say ‘Aluminium‘. You know – like Uranium, or Plutonium, or Radium. (Try saying any of those without the i!)
