So this isn’t quite a toy, and perhaps this is less a review than a product recommendation and/or a PSA, with a bit of rant thrown in (feel free to scroll past it to the actual ‘about Astroglide’ info if you already agree). First, on my soapbox for the rant. LUBE: USE IT! If you’re […]

Sex Toy Review: The NJoy Pure Plug (guest post)
Today’s a special occasion: this review was written by my partner and submissive, as the one with most firsthand experience and plenty of opinions. Also some resemblance to David Tennant’s portrayal of Crowley, being a tall genderqueer person with long hair and a preference for black, not to mention the dark glasses. If that explains […]
Continue Reading....Anthologies I dream of editing
Maybe it’s the full flush of our submissions period (260+ authors have sent us a truly uncountable number of stories, and there’s still a week to send more in!). Maybe it’s quarantine. But I keep coming up with ideas for erotica anthologies. Reading submissions has shown some interesting gaps in the genre. That and spending […]
Continue Reading....Sex Toy Review: The Five by Wet For Her
Wet For Her, as you might guess by the name, is a company creating sex toys “for women by women.” Neither my partner nor I are men, so we felt encouraged and affirmed by this tagline. In particular, it’s helpful that their insertable toys are designed with a slight bend that makes them able, with […]
Continue Reading....A tropical honeymoon sounds pretty good right now…
Doesn’t it? And pegging, pegging always sounds good. And breaking down the stigma around herpes — an incredibly common STD that will not ruin your sex life or any other aspect of your life, panic-mongering aside — is pretty sweet too. That’s the logic behind “To Have and To Hold,” my romantic, erotic honeymoon pegging story for […]
Continue Reading....Sex toy review: Faux-Fur Lined Leather Cuffs from Luxurious Bliss
Is it right to call these a “toy”? It almost doesn’t feel right. They’re more like…jewelry. Decoration. Or, as my one wearing them once put it, a long-distance hug. Yes, I might get fluffy in this review–even fluffier than the plush faux-fur lining of these gorgeous and long-wearing pieces, just one of the quality leather […]
Continue Reading....Still looking for something to read?
Some good news for a change – I’ve had several new publications come out over the past few weeks, plus a few other places to recommend in your search for more material: First, “Beyond Words” in Infernal Ink’s penultimate issue (okay, maybe that part’s not such happy news) is an erotic horror story of young […]
Continue Reading....Two short stories for free online reading
As my first week (er, honestly, nearer to my first 3 days) of government-encouraged isolation comes to an end, my heart is lighted by the latest issue of Cliterature Journal and a piece of mine appearing in The Erotic Review. Both are free to read. Cliterature’s GOD/DESS issue includes an excerpt from my story “Annunciation,” about gender, […]
Continue Reading....Sex Toy Review: Sili Saddle
Let’s start my new blogging venture–recommendations for some of my favorite toys–with this unique and memorably named bumper pad. I think “sili” stands for silicone, which it’s made of, and I pronounce it “silly,” to my partner’s initial confusion. But silly name aside, I’m reviewing this piece first because, from the moment I first tried it, the […]
Continue Reading....Where to get your reading: Preorders & Authors Give Back on Smashwords, and ebooks on Kindle Unlimited–for a limited time. Plus Gumroad!
