St. John’s, Newfoundland, hosted our first annual Risque Sex Expo earlier this month. We were invited to speak on our erotic works, and give some erotic storytelling over the two days. Needless to say, we were thrilled to be involved in such an awesome, positive, adult event. It was a sex positive venue that recognized

Romance / Erotic Series

M. Keep — Wed, 15 May 2013 09:30:31 +0000

Originally posted on One Handed Writers. I read an interesting discussion this week on Goodreads about serialized erotic stories. For those of you that don’t know, serialized erotica is usually a bunch of shorts that blend together to form a full novel, however they’re released one at a time. Many authors then price the first

Amazon Filters Gangbangs, Orgies and Breeding

M. Keep — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 14:32:53 +0000

Originally posted on One Handed Writers. Amazon has now quietly made it harder for you to find the taboo kinks you want on its site, without notice to its readers, authors, publishers, or anyone. They’ve simply quietly slapped a bunch of titles under an adult filter that, until recently, only had pseudo incest and “hand

Erotica for Men

M. Keep — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 23:30:58 +0000

Originally Posted on One Handed Writers. It’s a common misconception that only women read erotica, that men don’t bother with it. After all, we’re told from a young age that men are ‘visual creatures’. Isn’t that on every page in every Cosmo? But it’s not true. In fact, there’s not been a single respondent to

Amazon’s Censoring Taboo Erotica

M. Keep — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 23:30:06 +0000

Originally Posted on One Handed Writers. I write the niches that I know and love. Rape and incest are on almost every ‘no list’ out there, but readers want it. Regardless of what you think about the kinks, erotica is fiction, and those people deserve their kinks catered to as well. And who better to do

Does Writing Erotica Turn You On?

M. Keep — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 23:30:07 +0000

Originally Posted on One Handed Writers under “Does Writing Erotica Make You Aroused?”. A lot of people have asked if our writing gets us hot. Well, I wrote not too long ago about how one scene led to some of the best sex I’ve ever had, but I have to say that, as a standard? Yes.

Dark, Taboo Romance

M. Keep — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:30:07 +0000

Originally Posted on One Handed Writers as “Valentine’s”. I’ve never been one to celebrate Valentine’s. I never really saw the point, and from a feminist perspective, I always found it offensive in how it upheld so many stereotypes about women, and men, and how they interact in relationships. I just don’t buy this idea that

Cock Worship

Originally Posted on One Handed Writers. I’ve been thinking about cock worship quite a lot lately, though much of what I’ll say will apply to you pussy or breast worship fans too. Worship is something I’ve always felt a little too shy to do, both in real life and in writing. It always seemed that

All Quiet

J. Keep — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 11:51:00 +0000

Michelle and I would like to apologize to our regular (and new) readers. We have a backlog of blog posts waiting to go up but we haven’t been tending to them. The reason isn’t a lack of passion for the subject matter, as that never dies, but more a matter of limited time and ability.

Rape Culture Part 1 – Infantalizing Women

M. Keep — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:30:00 +0000

Trigger Warning for discussion of rape, rape fantasies, consensual non-consent, and BDSM. This is a 6 part series that will be updated weekly, focusing on rape culture, rape fantasies, and consent. I joined a group on FetLife that was dedicated to rape fantasies. My goal was to explore how to reconcile having rape fantasies, and writing rape

Games Imitating Life: Rape Culture in MMORPGs?

J. Keep — Sat, 16 Feb 2013 23:30:00 +0000

Contrary to the Kotaku article, no one was accused of rape in game at any point, and that is not the point of this blog post. Any comment that suggests that someone was accused of rape, or attempted rape, will not be approved. A curious event happened to me recently while roleplaying, and I’ll

Cock Worship

Just in time for Valentine’s Day! I forgot to tell everyone that I blogged about Cock Worship over on One Handed Writers: When you think of it and boil it down, who wouldn’t want to feel like they’re so mind blowing it makes others weak in the knees and light in the head? Who wouldn’t
