The View From My Knees

It’s time for you to tell me your dirty little secrets, by answering this week’s poll. And don’t forget to leave me the dirty details in the comments.

In a previous poll, I asked if you’d ever slept with your boss. Well now it’s time to hear from the bosses…

Have your own ideas for a poll? Send them in! And watch for an upcoming podcast where Lucky and I will go over the results and tell our own naughty stories.

Every so often, an adult film star breaks out of the seedy underbelly of the sex industry and becomes a household name. People who would never admit to having watched pornography become familiar with names such as Jenna Jameson, Ron Jeremy, and Traci Lords. The same is true of other facets of the adult industry. Betty Page turned pinup photography into art. And when it comes to erotica, the words of Anais Nin are as much a part of literary history as Emily Dickinson or William Shakespeare. Nin’s name has become so synonymous with erotica that it’s impossible to mention that you enjoy reading or writing the genre without being accused of being a fan of her work. I’d been writing erotica long before I ever heard of Anais Nin. And in fact, until a month ago, I’d never read a word she’d written. Luckily, the Naughty Book Club provided the perfect chance to become familiar with the godmother of erotica.

In the preface, excerpts from Nin’s diary explain how she first came to write erotica. Henry Miller, Nin’s lover, had been making ends meet writing porn for a private collector at $1 a page, and suggested she contribute to the project, as well. She talks about her struggles with the benefactor’s requests for “more sex, less poetry,” and mused on her theory that men and women use different language to write about sex. I found her process and her theories intriguing, and couldn’t wait to start reading the work in the pages that followed.

Product Review: Babelight

When I visit a sex shop, I stop and browse that section of cute little “discreet” vibrators. You know, those vibes that look like a tube of lipstick or a rubber ducky. How fun it would be to have a sex toy that I could take with me anywhere without worrying about whether the guy on the bus next to me knows what it is? So when Babeland offered to let me test their adorable little Babelight, I was pretty excited.
