And what’s striking me about Lady Gaga’s music videos is not just how smart they are, or how imaginative, or how lovingly crafted and visually stunning, or how just flat-out funny. What’s striking me about Lady Gaga’s music videos is how strongly influenced they are by sex culture: by fetish fashion, by sexploitation flicks, and by plain old dirty porn.

What’s more, they seem to be strongly influenced by these cultures, not as an outsider, not as someone who’s manipulating this imagery to titillate/shock the audience, but as an insider, someone who’s intimately familiar with both sex culture and sexual marginalization. This isn’t Britney Spears, using schoolgirl or slavegirl or girl-on-girl imagery to excite her audience without any apparent understanding or affinity for it. Lady Gaga’s music videos (coupled with her interviews about her work) show a thoughtful, informed insight into polymorphous perversity. She has an analysis that could easily hold its own in any queer theory / gender theory / sex theory forum – and damn do I love a sexy girl with an analysis! – and her freak flag is waving high and proud.

In a way that – if I can be crass for a moment – makes her videos very functional as porn.

While cuddling in bed he started grinding the back of his hand against my pussy. I didn’t realise just how horny I was until then; a few humps of his hand and I started coming.

He kept going and I came again. The stimulation wasn’t heavy or intense: I was just an orgasm waiting to happen. We both enjoyed the sluttiness of me getting off on humping his hand. Wheeee!

After breakfast we made our way to the Black Room, and he said that pussy flogging and the Magic Wand were on the menu for today. After some consideration of our floggers we decided to leave the hard stingy one in the drawer, but he put the heavy suede and light leather floggers within easy reach.

I lay with my head hanging over the end of the bed, with my knees pulled up and spread wide. This gave him easy access to my pussy, thighs, tummy and breasts. The light leather flogger is so soft and light: it was the perfect warmup. On my thighs it was a caress, on my pussy it built up well with consecutive hits, and across my torso and breasts I enjoyed it too.

He used the suede flogger for a contrasting sensation. There is much more weight behind that one! He had to lighten his touch considerably, and even then it smacked my clit hard, making me roll my legs away each time, and it brought forth an angry growl when it landed on my breasts.

Then, just for fun, he took the Magic (Want to read more...)

I already adored my new toy before I knew how the end with three bloops felt in my butt. When K used the Fun Wand in my rear (with plenty of lubricant), it was a revelation.

I must admit that I’m rather fond of reading dirty stories on the metro (the DC subway).  It feels a bit like a guerrilla protest against patriarchal norms of female sexuality.  It’s probably more along the lines of trashy, but it’s fun anyway. Not only did Best of the Best Women’s Erotica 2 give me the opportunity to wiggle eyebrows with strangers, but I definitely found a few favorite stories while I was at it.

• Book: Best of the Best Women’s Erotica 2 (sent by Babeland.com for review)
• Price: $14.95

Best of the Best Women’s Erotica, edited by Violet Blue (who has appeared on Oprah), contains 225 pages, 21 different stories from different authors, plus a short introduction story, which is also hot.

Erotica anthologies are a wonderful way to discover what turns you on or what you didn’t even know you liked before. When partners read the book together, each can highlight the words and passages that particularly appeal. Then, by trading the book back and forth, learn what to include in lovemaking for that special stimulation.

Filled with numerous themes, varying characters, and unique settings, Best of the Best Women’s Erotica 2 runs the gamut to ensure hitting something that appeals to you. The focus of the more delicate, highly detailed erotica is definitely  female pleasure, a distinct difference from the usual,  male-oriented reading found on the Internet; such female-centric writing, however, is enjoyable to both genders, and our male reviewers found the stories just as enjoyable.  Passages also contain interesting, erotic looks at a little bit of mental struggle in male characters, as well as some strong and dominant female characters, which is difficult to find in books, particularly erotica.

Best of Best Women’s Erotica 2 is captivating and a (Want to read more...)

While I’ve seen a lot of great men’s masturbation toys, it’s become clear that, largely, they fall into two categories: full-penis-length stroking sleeves meant to enhance the usual jacking-off motions, or anal toys meant for prostate stimulation.  That’s why the arrival of the Cobra Libre, Fun Factory’s new vibrating men’s toy meant for relaxing, luxuriating stimulation to the glans (the penis head) was extra exciting for me.  Did it live up to my expectations? Find out below!

• Toy:  Cobra Libre (sent by Babeland.com for review)
• Type: Men’s toy, vibrating masturbation sleeve, rechargeable
• Manufacturer: Fun Factory
• Material: Plastic body, silicone sleeve
• Price: $139
• SMT rating: N/A

This little race car encourages you to lay back and enjoy the ride

The Cobra Libre has a hard plastic body with a soft stretchy silicone sleeve that is designed to resemble to a race car.  The insertion end has a 2 1/2 inch length for comfortably inserting the end of the penis ranging from 1 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter.

The Cobra Libre was really popular with our reviewers. The easy-to-use control buttons are embedded along the top of the rechargeable vibrator, which should run for an hour and a half on high, and last even longer on a lower speed, offering plenty of time for stimulation. Unlike the most male masturbation toys with stroking motion sleeves, this attractive vibration action toy is meant to sit on the end of your penis, stimulating the most sensitive parts all around the head and tip areas, and does the work for you. Awesome! It is so quiet that you can’t hear it in use.  Using a water based lubricant, exploring with a gentle rocking motion, adding a bit of pressure or trying various positions inside the sleeve offers satisfying ways to kicking back, relaxing and (Want to read more...)

The Rules – She squirmed in her chair as if impaled there by my finger slowly pushing in and out. “But I can tell you that on our third date, I want something a lot bigger than your finger in me.”

Consensual Nonconsent - He told me he was going to do whatever he wanted to me, and he wanted me to not give consent. He wanted to take it from me. He wanted me to say no, and the less l liked something the harder it would make him.

Love and light – So I move on, not as a submissive, but as the smart mature strong woman that I know that I am. I will credit him with changing me. Changing the way I see myself.

Public Disgrace What would happen if 2 hot girls wandered into a sex store with glory holes? Pretty much this

Cassidy Lynn convinces her friend Natasha Nice to visit a seedy adult book store in the Tenderloin. What could possibly go wrong?

As the girls buy their way down into the catacombs of filth, the cell phone cameras turn on and the guys start filming. It’s not everyday that girls come to these places after all. As soon as they hit the glory holes, guys are watching, following. Cassidy goes into a booth and when her friend tries to join her she makes her get her own booth. Humiliated Natasha runs as fast as she can into another booth.

The guys circle like sharks, the sound of sex from the movies fills the air as the girls are watching porn in their own rooms. The smells, the sounds all start working on the girls. As cocks start appearing in the holes the girls have little resistance left not to indulge their curiosity and play. After all, no one will know, no one will see.

What the girls don’t realize is the doors do not have locks, and soon the girls are in over their heads with cock. The guys are relentless and do not stop until each girl is totally fucked, helpless and moaning like whores, taking cock after cock. 03 Sep 2010
