It seems to me that we have been talking about sex work a lot on this blog in the past few months, and it also seems to me that the whole world is starting to talk about it a little bit more, as well.  A subtle shift in a more understanding, supportive direction… or a new trendy dinner [...]

A Novel Idea. *blushing*

By CJ • Mar 26th, 2008 • Category: Blog

During a sex toy education class taught by our amazing Charlie Glickman, I learned how to perhaps use our  G-Spotter  attachment with a partner. So… I figured I would give it a try with my partner, to try to turn the Hitachi and the G-Spotter into more of a two-person game than a hand of solitaire…

I’ve always thought that sounds and music were key to any good adult film. Like non-adult film, a good score or soundtrack builts momentum, creates tension, signifies a climax, and creates mood.
Porn has a hard time with this concept for some reason. Either it’s a long, droning ambient hum made on Garage Band, a slimey [...]
