Vamp's Favorite Sites!

Take a moment and imagine a leather Facebook or Myspace, and then imagine it being run by and for kinky folks. That is exactly what Fetlife is! It is the coolest new community site out there for pervs, and it is absolutely 100% free. I had been hearing the buzz about this new spot on the web from a few of my lifestyle friends, and I finally decided to go set up an account and take a look myself. Many years ago I had been on other sites that promised community and allowed free communication, but since those sites have sold to other companies their soul has left the building and communication costs money. It is also communication that is no longer under the nurturing ownership of perverts with a personal interest in our tribe. I'd lost interest, and so had most of my friends. I was hoping that this site could be some of what I was missing on the old ones. Wow, I wasn't disappointed! I immediately ran into some of my old friends, and then ran off to recruit new ones. It is easy to sign up. Once you have, then you set up a profile. You can add pics to it, and you'll never run into that "you have to have such and such membership" to view pics or show them to others. There are social groups here with ongoing forum conversations, so you can sign up for topics that interest you (or create your own groups). There is a mail system that acts like a personal bulletin board for private conversations, so you don't lose track of what has been said to anyone. You can post writing, see what your friends are doing, and a lot more. A lot of talented pervs are posting writing and engaging in conversation here. I've met a lot of new friends. There is a small amount of advertising, but it is done really tastefully and never gets in the way. You can write to the folks that run the site, and they will actually write you back. I've been in love with this place and raving about it for the last several weeks. This is one of the few sites that didn't ask for review. I sought out the owner and asked him if I could post one. It is that good. I feel like I'm giving you guys an early Christmas gift. Go check it out! This is the next big kinky community site! They are going to be huge, and they will stay huge as long as they keep the spirit that they have now. - Vamp » More Info!

At last, a high quality DVD movie site with fast streaming/downloading capacity! I look at a lot of these sites, but few of them deliver the swift speeds that they promise. This site has around 4,000 movies and streaming was a snap in wmv or flash format. Movies are arranged by genre, star, and studio. A few still photos, movie description, and other key information is available on all of the films. Genres covered include gonzo, MILF, lesbian, anal, fetish, and a lot more. There is a really cool feature that allows you to look at still photos and create your own custom movie clips, which I think is fabulous. There are unlimited downloads of DVD quality (but you can go for lower quality if you have a slow connection). I was extremely impressed by the organization, speed, and tone of this site. Extremely well done! - Vamp

Jane reviewed these folks back in 2004, when they were known as WoodPeckersRoost.com. She said, "This website showcases some lovely, one-of-a-kind handmade wood phalluses. There are good photos, along with information on dimensions. The FAQ page has everything you might wish to know, including good contact info, shipping, returns, and so on. The first thing I wondered about was safety, but there is an entire page devoted to that with info on the sealing process, how to clean your toy after use and so on. They use only non-endangered, environmentally responsible wood sources as well. Ordering is online via PayPal, or by mail." Four years have passed, and this site is just getting better! The dildos are hand turned tulip wood, cherry, maple, bocote, lacewood, purpleheart, and walnut. The shapes are interesting and beautiful, and finished so that they shine with a certified food-safe finish that you can easily disinfect. All of the exotic woods are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and this company continues to use environmentally and socially sound practices. The product and company info continues to be extensive, and there is a 100% money back guarantee on their products. There is also some great stuff to read about dildo lore, current sex toy safety info in the news, and Jilda's life. They have just introduced a thicker toy, so girth queens should be a bit more satisfied. I really love these folks! - Vamp

I'm rarely impressed by femmedom sites, but this one is incredibly hot! It features huge strap-ons, CBT, face sitting, foot fetish (including footjobs), spitting, smoking, watersports, spanking, caning, anal fisting, nylon fetish, ponyboy, electricity, needles, body casting, female "plumper" submissives, rubber, public scenes, and even some outdoor snow scenes. Mistress Carmen Rivera is like a Dominatrix comic book character come to life as she coldly gives orders and taunts her submissives in German while smoking and whipping around her dark black hair. If you like dominant women, you will be in heaven! There are around 30 galleries at the moment. Each one has a movie that has been cut up into smaller bits for easier download or streaming, and you can choose high or low bandwidth sizes. In addition to the movies, there are stills from the movie shoots. This site is part of the "Fetish Network", so you gain entrance to around 30 other sites that have similar themes. I think I'd pay the entrance fee for just the content here, however. It was that impressive! The only downside? She rarely speaks English, and if you are looking for traces of traditional sexuality you just won't find much of that here. A well organized, sexy, and true fetish site. - Vamp

Vamp first reviewed this site six years ago, and since then it's only gotten better. This has to be one of the coolest BDSM toy shops I've visited in awhile! Madame Giggles sells a huge assortment of floggers, stingers and her absolutely unique "Killer Bunnies." Instead of dull turn-key operations with purchased graphics and boring cookie-cutter toys, Madame Giggles creates all of her own products and images. Each toy has a precise description, including measurements and weights. The toys come with a warranty, and all customer service information is spelled out in detail. In fact, Madame Giggles manages to make you WANT to read all that info because she is funny and smart -- and it shows. Custom work is available. Shipping is currently through USPS Priority mail. Rates seem quite reasonable; spend over $100 and shipping is free. Aside from the toys, there is a personal side to this website. Madame Giggles talks a bit about herself, how to brand skin, and her thoughts on dating and relationship. It is very well worth the read. I found myself wanting to hang out with Madame Giggles after reading this. Other sex toy retailers need to take lessons from Madame Giggles on how to make their sites personally appealing. --Vamp and aag

Do you like podcasts, audioerotica, and sensual bisexual women? Then, you'll love this blog! It is a combination blog/podcast that updates about three times a month. The owner is a woman named "Silkenvoice", and she shares small sections of her written erotica and audio records for free! (Her larger and more complete audio recordings are sold at another location.) When I visited, there were at least 27 sexy and explicit podcasts for free download. - Vamp

This is a sassy and informative little site by Megan Andelloux, a certified sex educator. Megan offers workshops, menarche parties, sex coaching, and phone consultations for a fee. There is also a lot of free content, like a guide to purchasing sex toys and a video about how to tell if a woman is faking orgasm. There are lots of links to sex positive resources and free podcasts as well. I particularly liked the section of her site devoted to explaining how to become a sex educator yourself! Educational, entertaining, and practical! - Vamp

It is pretty rare that I contact a site and ask to do a review, but this one just charmed the pants off of me! The site is fairly new, but the content is unique and real. In the words of the site owner, "Modern Hooker is a sex worker, sex worker rights activist, blogger, writer, cheap thrill seeker, and random comic." You'll find the web comic in the "smirk" section, and if you've ever worked in the sex industry I think it will give you some pretty big laughs. The real meat of the site is found in the new blog section, however. Modern Hooker has a very charismatic and whimsical style, but she also has a lot of powerful and insightful things to say. I was particularly interested in some of her observations regarding the recent influx of young women into the prostitution industry. Witty, lovable, sexy, and one of a kind. I think you'll love this woman! - Vamp

HOT HOT HOT! CFNM (clothed female, naked male) fetish is one of those things that always seems to get me going. This site has an exquisite collection of around 180 wmv movies, and each of them has sound and a really healthy runtime. You can download or stream them in parts, or go for the whole movie. If you like still pictures, you can check out the picture gallery of screenshots from each film. The downloads are very quick, and the content is sexy as all get out. If you enjoy accents (like I do), you'll enjoy all the UK accents that you'll find here. Scenarios vary, but they are all extremely imaginative! You can watch "lesbians" taunt a man who is all tied up, women molesting an art model, a sister humiliating her brother, friends giving each other sex lessons, and more. You can tell the actors are all having a really good time here, which makes the whole thing even better. Scorching hot, fun, and playful CFNM imagery. - Vamp

This blog managed to move me today, and not just intellectually. It was so full of passion, pain, longing, love, and loss that I cried. It is written by Oatmeal Girl who describes herself as a submissive Jewish bisexual feminist baby boomer. A lot of the writing is in the form of poetry, and perhaps that is how it slipped into my heart and ravaged my emotions. She has a very well developed and intensely emotional style. It never seems overly fancy, and instead feels very raw and honest (like the talk of a good friend). She often speaks of love, but it isn't an easy love. It is the sort that rips through you, but that you couldn't and wouldn't want to live without. Here is an example of her writing, "I'm high on a cocktail of drugs, and they're each addictive on their own. Just imagine the potency of the alternate reality of subspace combined with the exhilaration of creative inspiration on top of that dependable stimulant, praise." On the flip-side of this ecstasy you'll find solemn and heartfelt poems that include moments like this, "I'm doing well now, master./ My moods don't bounce around/ the room. I held up my end, John./ Perhaps you'd love me now." I think that was the line that tore it for me. I fell in love with her myself. Great stuff! - Vamp

Two words: Lesbian Fiction. I almost never get to review this, and it is some of my favorite stuff! This site features, "...[O]riginal, well-crafted, strongly-plotted lesbian and female-centric works of short fiction." There are only about four stories here at the moment, and they are as diverse in genre as science fiction and historical romance. I'm certain that once the word gets out, they'll have a lot more available. If you are looking for a good home for your fiction, you might want to submit something. I'm a bit sketchy about the content that they eventually want to fill the site with, but from what I read they seem to want to represent non-kinky lesbian fiction. In addition to the stories, there are book reviews and interviews with authors. I love the tone and design of the site, and I think this definitely addresses a group of folks that are really under represented in erotica. Great idea, and great execution. I see wonderful things for these folks, once the authors start streaming in. - Vamp

Go-To Girl is a "no-nonsense, bossy sexpert." People send her questions like, "Here's my question: is it possible to transmit oral herpes to genitals and vice versa?" She then goes on to explain the answer, which in this case is definitely yes. She tends to reply in very frank, humorous, and informative ways. I think the tone is very female friendly, and it will appeal to anyone who reads things like GoAskAlice.com. A delightful, well written, and informative blog! - Vamp

Foot domination is one of my main kinks, so I was more than happy to see this site ask for review. I'm always skeptical about foot fetish sites, since they can completely miss the mark. I've even seen regular porn sites just put "foot fetish" in the title, while not changing the content at all! You won't be disappointed like that here. There are a bunch of young beautiful dominant women that really use their feet like you'd hope. There is dirty foot/shoe worship, foot/boot/heel licking, trampling (barefoot and with heels), face kicks, heel sucking, and lots more. There are around 53 galleries of still images, and about 45 movie clips (wmv format and usually around 2-3 minutes long). There are heterosexual and lesbian scenarios, and even a few group situations. This is definitely a fetish site, so you won't see a lot of nudity or vanilla sex here. The focus is all on the feet. If you are like me, that is a bonus! Well organized and sexy! - Vamp

I loved this site! It is a flash video guide to sensual breast massage that really does an excellent job of presenting information in a hands-on and educational fashion. I counted around 18 videos here. The longest is a video Breast Massage Guide that takes you through over 20 different ways to pleasantly massage the breasts. The video is around 11 and a half minutes long, and you could easily follow along with a partner. If you want a better look at particular strokes, there are around 9 videos featuring up close tutorials of individual movements. There is also another section called "massage sequences" that is less instructional, but more fluid. It shows a lot of self and partnered massage in a series of around 8 clips. There isn't a lot of written material on the site, but it does link to the blog attached to this project. A nice instructional site, and you can't beat the price! - Vamp

There are quite a few sites that review romance or extremely softcore erotica, but where do you go to find out the skinny on smut? Aside from reading our fine reviews in the book review section, this site is the answer to that question! A small group of reviewers, who are also often established authors within the genre of erotica, are slowly building an archive of extremely honest and blunt reviews. You can browse their newest reviews, or look for a specific author or editor. You can also just thumb through an archive. The organization of the site is simple, and there aren't a lot of bells and whistles to distract you from the writing. I read through a couple of the pieces, and I found the tone to be very frank. I didn't see a bunch of flattery or attempts to sell anything. I did see a few zingers that made me sting, and I wasn't even the person being reviewed. Great critical and literary reviews of all sorts of published erotica (including ebooks with ISBN numbers)! - Vamp

What a great blog! I often seem to read material by female submissives, but it is rare to find a genuine blog by a lifestyle dominant. So, it was with great interest that I devoured the offerings of Lady Lubyanka. She is a 41 year old musician who is bisexual, poly, Jewish, and funny as all get out. She discusses her thoughts about everything from caning to corsets, and really seems to have a knack for reviewing products. She also has a great informational section that explains prostate milking. All of her writing has a very intellectual and whimsical tone, and it is great to feel both entertained and informed. An example of a product review is her comment about a specific dildo she had purchased for her harness, "...[E]ven the most olfactorily oblivious person would be able to taste the airborne rubber fumes from this cock, just from breathing in the same room as it. The smell was more insistent and persistent than door-to-door religion pushers." Fun, informative, charming, and sexy! - Vamp

Every once in awhile I find myself wondering how in the heck I've managed not to do a review of a site yet. I know the answer, the list of sites we've got to review is pretty huge. Still, I'm sorry that it took so long to call attention to this gem! I'm absolutely certain that I've read it before. Nawa*G is husband, Dominant, and Daddy to lil*j. They both are great lovers of the art of Shibari rope bondage, and they take lots of pictures of their work. Best of all, they share those pictures along with he said/she said style posts that really help to take the reader inside their dynamic. I love that! There are almost three years worth of posts to look over, and it is a real delight to observe their experiences over time. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys Shibari, dominance, and the special Daddy/girl bond. Inspiring! - Vamp

If you are a fan of retro modern pinups and rockabilly style, you'll love this place! Irish posts fabulous professional and amateur modern pinup pictures and credits the models, photographers, and stylists responsible. You can subscribe and have the content sent to your email, or visit the blog. If you have images to contribute, the process for submitting them is pretty easy. No nude images are allowed. Irish says, "If you love hot rods, kustom kulture and the lowbrow life - then you love these girls as much as I do. I’m sick of the Plastic Fantastic fakes that the dominant mindless mass-consumer mentality has been pumping out at me for decades!" These images really are a blast from the past, and the girls are gorgeous. There is often a short blurb that gives a bit more detail about the images, which is also very nice. All that, and it is free. Can ya beat that? - Vamp

This blog is written by an intelligent and interesting stripper from Canada that goes by the name Cheeks Filibuster. It doesn't seem to be updated often these days, but I really enjoyed reading the content here. She has a lot to say about the working conditions in the sex industry, the political climate of Canada, and her personal journey. She is funny, informative, and deeply likable. One of my favorite entries includes a list of "10 Reasons I Like My Job". She says, "I've learned men love all kinds of shapes, colors, sizes. I can look at all of the impossible, destructive female media images around us as a product of a weird parallel universe, and laugh knowingly." I thought that was a really interesting insight. I recommend the journal, even if she never writes another line. The archive is worth it! - Vamp

This online lingerie store takes customer service seriously, has a large selection of merchandise, and manages to carry a broad spectrum of sizes! They offer couture corsets, lingerie, costumes, clubwear, hosiery, and rhinestone lingerie for women up to size 6X. There are easy to read size charts too, so that you can get the right fit. They offer men's items such as shirts, robes, costumes, pj's and more up to size X-Large. In addition to the lingerie they offer bed and bath items, sexy accessories (masks, gloves, wigs, and such), and fabric care products. I was extremely impressed with the level of customer service and contact info available, and I also liked the essay called "Guy's Guide to Lingerie". The site shows a lot of personal touches, and the owner makes herself very available to her customers to answer questions. A great site! I'm absolutely in love with the Marquee Designs corsets! - Vamp
