Vamp's Favorite Sites!

Just passing the 1,000 post mark, we first reviewed this blog over two years ago. Vamp said at the time: "I love reading blogs like this. I was so moved and interested by Anastasia's thoughts that I found myself completely forgetting that I was on the job. This is the kind of woman that has complex and interesting things to bring to the table about sexuality, and isn't just rehashing things that it is fashionable to say. In all likelihood, she may piss you off at times. That is part of the value of what she has to say, however. Reading her is erotic, challenging, and an exercise in spiritual and psychological self awareness that stabs (sometimes playfully and sometimes just plain artfully) at old concepts and jaded clichés. One of my favorite bits from her journal was, "[I]t makes one think more about the world around them and how shockingly bestial it can be when 'consent' becomes the band-aid plaster that rights human dysfunction." Her blog contains essays, erotica, photographs, and sex positive feminist thought. Highly enjoyable and very sexy!" The site is a mix of British pop culture critique and sex.

Wow, another 4 years have passed since our second review of this site. Since that time, the photos have gone up to over 7,000, and the site is STILL free. This is quite the excellent personal site from a real life BSDM couple, Mick and Dee, self-identified as 24/7 male dominant/female submissive. Pony play, chastity belts, caging, rope bondage and body piercings are some of the focus here. They also have posted vanilla vacation photos from all around the world, and neat candid pics from events like Burning Man. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I've been so excited! I think the best thing about this site is that it is very REAL. These folks are obviously in love and having the time of their life together, and enjoying the process of documenting it and showing it off. I found the site romantic, sexy, fetish delicious, and intelligent. This absolutely is recommended, especially to folks like me that know the difference between "bondage porn" and the real deal they will see here. - Vamp

Three years after the initial review, GirlsOutWest is still going strong. This site is so much fun! It is a female owned and operated Australian amateur site that is completely sex positive and full to the brim with fabulous women. The thing that really distinguishes the pictures you'll find here (outside of their high quality) is the comfort and joy you see in the women. You can tell these folks are having a GREAT time. Annie (the site owner and photographer) says, "The chicks on girlsoutwest remain in control of their image. They decide what adventures to have, what to wear, and how explicit they get. Their body language, facial expressions, mirror their personality so you see 'real' honest girls in these images." I was skeptical of this claim, but when I looked around I found it to be very true. You can view the somewhat endless galleries and movies in order, or you can look them up by category. The girls are categorized for search purposes by breast size, pubic hair style, nudity level, age, body size, insertables, type of sex shown, special interest, clothing style, hair color, and more. Some of the special interests represented here include hairy girls and girls with glasses. Most of the sex you see here will be masturbation and lesbian stuff. Photo galleries are available in zip format for swift download, and movie files are often rather huge mpgs (92Mb and such)...so having a cable connection is pretty important. Excellent FAQ, thorough customer service info, wonderful organization of pics and movies, and a great interactive forum. What more could you want? Absolutely recommended. Recently the site has added CCbill to their billing options, as well as GMBill. They offer a plethora of joining options. - Vamp » More Info!

(Note: this site is not updating, but the archive of podcasts is still up and relevant.) It has been around for awhile now, but podcasting is still a pretty new phenomenon for many. If you aren't familiar with it, the important thing to understand is that you can download audio files of "radio shows" and play them on your home computer or mp3 player. The stars of this online blog and podcast are Atticus and Nova, an adorable and sensual couple that explore sexual themes in an erotic, intelligent, and informative manner. They cover topics as wide ranging as splosh play and vac beds, but they also define terms as simple as "squick". I really liked these two and found their broadcast completely charming. Check it out! - Vamp

Helen L. is the author of over forty erotic stories, and she shares them with you for free on her personal site. Rather than emphasizing the mechanics of sex, she really tries to build characters that you care about and can relate to. She wants the emotional content to motivate your erotic response, rather than a simple laundry list of physical actions. Her tales consist exclusively of heterosexual and consensual encounters between adults, and they are heavy on romance. In addition to her erotic tales, she has an online diary that is a progressive story as well. I really like her take on the genre, it is very refreshing. - Vamp

If you are someone who writes "literate" erotica (with a BDSM theme) and you need a place to park your masterpiece and share it with others, this might be a good space for you. It is a small community site that offers quite a few hot pieces by a list of hard working writers. It has a community element too, because you can sign up for a free account and comment on or rate stories and receive notification of new posts by your favorite storytellers. A neat little site! - Vamp

This Femdom community site offers a free chatroom, ecards, busy forum, erotic stories, poetry, pic galleries, educational essays (some of which are classics), and a lot more. The site owner also has links to her blog. There seems to be a pretty friendly crowd here, and I love certain aspects of the site (like the "fact or fiction" section of the forums). A very nice community site created out of obvious love for the topic. This good old fashioned home made kink is getting harder to find on the web, and I miss it. It isn't slick or perfect, but there is a lot of heart here. - Vamp

Do you enjoy paranormal romance? Men in uniform? Erotic romance? Then you should probably check out this charming author's site for J.C. Wilder & Dominique Adair. You'll find lots of excerpts from books along those themes, and even two free ebooks! If you want to make a purchase, there are quick links to places where you can pick up the full novels in ebook or paperback form. The author seems very accessible and friendly, with a wide variety of information shared across chat groups and blogs. She lists info about appearances, contests, and even her daily life. I found the site perfectly charming, and the writing appears to be very hot. Then again, I have a rather predictable vampire fetish. - Vamp

Whatever you are doing right now, just drop it and go to this site. I'm not kidding, it is that wonderful! This is a very well organized, classy, and extremely erotic collection of nude, fine art, fetish, glamour, and pornographic photography. You'll find a wide variety of impressive photographers, information about photo books, and even a steamy and dirty-sexy section featuring polaroids. Yummy! This is a really great place to find out about rising stars and old favorites. Highly recommended! - Vamp

This personal site is a collection of erotic stories written by the author and her friends. The stories tend to be short and graphic, with a decidedly English style of writing. There are around 18 stories here right now, as well as a diary that is also very sensual. Visitors are invited to submit stories. I love free stories sites like this one! - Vamp

I rarely get excited about companies that offer design services to adult entertainers, but in this case I have to say that I'm really very impressed. This is an extremely professional and respectful site with a lot of practical information for business owners. They offer live support, website design, banner ad design, photo retouching, marketing assistance, and more. They have free articles that give great tips, offer a list of trusted photographers, explain directories a bit, and even offer wonderful community info that every sex worker should have. Friendly, informative, reasonable, and community minded. I love these folks! - Vamp

I really love the idea behind this site. It solicits sexy images from porn actresses, and matches them up with artists interested in showcasing them in iconic pieces of artwork. The pornstar gets a t-shirt, a beautiful image, and such. The artist gets a link to their site, and can sell the work while only having to pay a small commission to pornsaints. Most of the text is in both Italian and English. The site features really outstanding work by Ida Belogi, Japi Honoo, Francesco D'Isa, Paul Kelley III, Vectorslip, and Arisu. Some of the work here was so stunning that I instantly fell in love with the artists and had to check out everything else I could about them online. I feel sort of sad that I no longer can qualify as a porn girl, or I think I'd try to send in a pic and become a saint myself. Beautiful stuff! - Vamp

This is a very cool site featuring original hand molded 100% latex-free rubber designs by Anzjalise! As a fetishist that has developed a latex allergy over the years, I can tell you that is music to my ears. Another unique property of her work is that you can order fire resistant (not fire proof) gear as well, which is really neat for fire dancing! She has posted images of burn tests, so you can compare her fire resistant rubber with other materials. The gear design is quite nice and customizable. She can make original stuff just for you, or you can order things from the site and specify colors and sizes. The color selection is pretty broad and includes really neat options like blacklight reactive hues. There are some pretty unique offerings like rubber purses, bic lighter holders, cigarette holsters and such. I think my favorite gear includes the three dimensional pieces that look like they are covered in actual bone, those are brilliant! There is a very nice FAQ and a good set of care instructions for the work. Purchase appears to be through Paypal, but that company does seem to be a lot more open about clubwear. So far I haven't heard of anyone getting burned for that, as it isn't usually classified as pornographic. Still, Paypal always makes me nervous. The gear is wonderful though, and I was very excited by the unique designs and options! Be sure to check out the repair and replacement policies in the contact section. - Vamp

Sleeping fetish is hot. Period. It basically consists of consenting adults agreeing to roleplay a scenario in which one person finds another person asleep, and then touches them or has sex with them. On this site, all the sleeping people are women (and most of the time one man "breaks in" to their home and gives them lingering caresses until he works himself up to have sex or masturbate). The images are shot on nightvision, and the written element gives brief explanations of how he met the women and what they wanted. Members can rate the home invasions, and leave suggestions about how to make them better. There are over 52 galleries of still photos, and 52 galleries of video clips with sound. Many times the videos are available in both high and low res, and the pic galleries are downloadable as zip files. They claim to do custom shoots, but I don't know whether that costs extra. The scenes here are really sexy, and most of the time they are pretty believable. It is nice to see that the "unbelievable" ones usually just show a girl getting into things so much that she forgets how sleepy she is supposed to be. It is nice to see people enjoying themselves. If you sign up for this site you are actually joining a whole network of sites including Tiffany Paris, Unlimited Access Pass, Cali Teens, San Diego Latinas, I Love Black Girls, Wave Hos, and Insane Coeds. You'll also get links to free streaming videos and pics of the day. Some of the links will lead to sites that want more money for service though, so there is mild advertising in the member area. I didn't find it too obnoxious though, and the membership is reasonable for the amount of content you'll get on all of the sites you do have free access to. Be mindful of the price though, it jumps after the first month. All in all, a really sexy site. I'd like to see more sleeping fetish sites, so we could get a category going. Scorching hot! - Vamp

While reviewing this site I found that I constantly had to remind myself not to spend my paycheck while visiting. If you are looking for artistic, romantic, and really special looking BDSM collars and cuffs you have to check this place out. All of their items are hand crafted, and their eye for design is incredible. Whatever your taste, you'll find something surprising and beautiful here. In addition to the BDSM gear they have some jewelry and decorative locks as well. Most items can be made in custom sizes without additional charge, and they are willing to make variations on existing designs too. They have very clear policies and obviously take a lot of pride in their creations (as they should). Really beautiful stuff, especially for the person with visions of vampires, princesses, and harem girls dancing in their heads. Gorgeous. If you are going to offer someone a collar, you should make it special. - Vamp

I love this blogger. Wordslut has a smart, funny, and incredibly insightful journal over on blogspot that examines her thoughts and feelings about submission and sensuality. This exploration occurs through photos, poems, stories, philosophy, and tales from her daily life. She asks herself interesting questions such as, "Is it weird that virtual kink is so much better than real vanilla sex?" She certainly is not alone when contemplating that question! One of my favorite bits of her writing examines how difficult it can be to receive the classic ultimatum from a dominant to masturbate to orgasm. She sums it up with, "A watched cunt never boils." I nearly laughed myself silly. I absolutely recommend this blog! Fun, smart, insightful, and entertaining! - Vamp

Great Googly Moogly! I think I have to fan myself for a bit before I start this review. Whew! This site sells vac beds made from black, red, or transparent .014" latex and heavy pvc pipe. For those of you that are wondering what the heck a vac bed is, imagine slipping into an envelope of latex and then having all the air within it sucked out until it is hugging every inch of you tightly. In a word, yum. This particular company offers some interesting variations on the design. The standard bed is 40" X 84", which makes it a lot bigger than those offered most places. They make custom sizes and colors available for an extra charge. They offer luscious options like a double-wide, genital openings, head openings, a gasmask vacbed, and even a really cool vacbox (which must be seen to be appreciated). The designs break down for storage, and they must be kept turned on during play (and you supply the vac). There is a really nice FAQ on site that has instructions, safety info, latex care tips, and such. One of the most important tips is that this is not a solo toy. They give clear shipping and returns info. It also appears that they have run into issues with paypal (such as I often warn about), so they are now going through Red Room Media for sales (and I've heard no complaints about those folks yet). They have a bunch of free videos and galleries, if you are a rubber or latex fetishist you'll kick yourself if you miss this stuff. If you enjoy what you see, you can purchase a DVD featuring their products. Hot! Hot! Hot! - Vamp

If you enjoy high end artistic porn with a kinky edge, then you are probably already familiar with Maria Beatty. Beatty is a New York filmmaker that has earned awards such as the "The Best Film" Fetish Category in 2004 at the Festival Internacional de Cine Erotico De Barcelona XII. If you aren't an arty erotic film buff, then I'll take a minute and describe what makes this particular person's work different. It plays to the psychological state of the viewer first, and draws their mind into a rich world that somehow exists between retro film noir and dark masturbation fantasies that you would hesitate to tell a lover. Sometimes the images seem to flit by like memories of an erotic adventure from the past, with a brief glimpse of the curve of a waist or a lingering gaze at gloves playing over a nipple. Other times, the scenes unfold like more tradition pornography (but with a very careful eye for detail). You'll find BDSM, lesbian, spanking, latex, leather, lace, corsets, stockings, shoes, foot worship, medical play, water sports, and a lot more here. It is sort of a grab bag of shadow sensuality. In the members area at the moment, you'll find about three and a half hours worth of film. It is broken down into clips for easier download. Clips do take awhile though, as each clip is very high quality wmv format work. I could blow each one up to full screen on my iMac and it still looked beautiful. There is a current feature section, a rotating archive, and a film schedule of upcoming events. There is a small but beautiful photo gallery of slightly over 100 pics here. Some of them show Midori. If you'd just like to purchase DVDs of interest, there is a small internet store that sells Beatty's work. The shipping/returns info isn't easily available, so you might want to ask some questions before ordering. They have both email and snail mail contact info on the site. I found the films really fascinating and hot. If you enjoy artistic lesbian aesthetic porn movies with a retro feel to them, you should definitely check this out. - Vamp

If you enjoy fine art, this site should be your next stop! It is a web based museum and art gallery featuring erotic artwork from the classic to the most contemporary. There are around 50 artists on the site, and each artist has a short bio and samples of their work on display (as well as information about their personal website). There is an online exhibition space that changes often, and at this particular time it is featuring the work of Carolyn Weltman. Some other artists that you may be familiar with on this site include Alan Daniels, Derek Jones, Phil Illingworth, and Vania Zouravliov. It links to an online bookstore that is run through Amazon, and it has a calendar that lists exhibits and events of interest. If you are an artist, they are currently open to new submissions. Be aware that they do charge a fee to submit work, which is currently set at £18 a year. It is free to view all of the work, however. It seems like the start of a pretty interesting site, and I am excited to see how it might grow. There is a lot of talent on display here! - Vamp

I'm going to put my biases out on the table right away. I've been a long time fan of this site, and I've visited it ever since it was a newborn babe back in 1996. So, you'll get nothing but love for it from me. I think you'll quickly see why I feel so positive about it though, even if this is the very first time you'll visit. This site is an internet classic that is for serious readers and writers of erotica. The author's resource section is a gold mine of information that includes everything from practical advice about how to write a sex scene to a list of places currently accepting submissions for work. The place doesn't discriminate, so you're welcome as a writer of mainstream romance or of hardcore kinky smut. Aside from being an author's resource, it really is a one stop shopping center for readers as well. You can find lots of intelligent interviews, commentary, and reviews pertaining to adult sexuality and pornography. No matter whether you're looking up info on how to pick the right sex toy or are curious about how to go about trying to female ejaculate, chances are they have something for you. There are erotic poems, kinky tales, and romantic adventures shared here for free. There are plenty of reviews of current fiction, music, and movies as well. This is one of those sites that I think people should read and bookmark. - Vamp » More Info!
