But first: have you donated to a bail fund yet? Here’s a list of places to choose from. Read up on a particular fund before donating to make sure you understand where your funds are going or if there’s another place that might need the money more. Although it’s never the wrong time to pay […]

➼ I’m not even naming the brand because it doesn’t matter. ➼ My review is: don’t buy a bullet vibe for $5.99 ➼ Other vibes are more expensive but you get what you pay for ➼ On the bright side, the numbing vibrations are actually very good pain relief when I use this as a […]

"Their Window" is up as a free read on MMURE.com. It's about two wives claiming their space in their new home, with some treats for fans of sapphic love and mild (but big for the person doing it) exhibitionism. “Not yet,” she said. “But, baby—” “Not. Yet.” She punctuated the words with soft laughter and […]
Continue Reading....Sex toy review: Astroglide water-based gel lube
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 […]
Continue Reading....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 […]

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 […]
