This blog shares original erotica, sex book/movie reviews, and movie clips from different tube sites. Jenny Swallows is co-author of The Nympho Librarian and Other Stories, as well as books of erotic poetry and more! If you are interested in her work, there are links to where to buy it on other sites. I found her XXX movie reviews to be a laugh riot (while also being pretty informative). Most of the time she seems to be drawn to the classics or modern day parody. I think that my absolute favorite journal entries here involve discussion and screen caps from her sexual adventures on the computer game Second Life. The only downside? Some of these porn tube videos create pop ups or start automatically. That said, she has a nice collection of clips of oral sex featuring uncut cocks (and that is a pretty nifty bonus). A neat and sexy blog! - Vamp

Jilly is a young woman from Belgium that writes a sexual blog with a very raw and tender voice. She self-describes as a virgin and talks about everything from fantasies to body issues, and comes across as someone who struggles and explores these things with a passion. Jilly is also an author of erotica/romance and has a couple of short fiction pieces about a character named Graham Conner (and the lovers he has had through the years), 8 stories inspired by the piano player/song writer Tim Minchin, and 27 short erotic tales. When I visited, the "Little Stories" section was unfortunately broken. So, I can't tell you the character of the pieces there. I'm sure the author will fix that soon, but right now I can only say that they are arranged by name and do not have blurbs or keywords. The rest of the erotica was unusual in that it focused on the relationships between characters while simultaneously avoiding most overt sexual expressions. I found that fascinating! There are links to photos, writing, and a tumblr project that she has been working on as well. Open, honest, and risky writing here. - Vamp

Lilly is a gorgeous curvy femme that self-identifies as a pansexual queer. Her blog is a cool mixture of toy reviews, advice, photos, real life experiences, and erotic fiction. The entries are well written, and usually center around sexuality and blogging. I especially recommend her "Sex Toy Care and Cleaning Guide", as it is particularly succinct and helpful. She has a very upfront disclosure on her site, which I personally appreciate, and she doesn't simply love all of the toys she reviews. I liked that, and I took her reviews a lot more seriously. Creative, savvy, and sexy! - Vamp

This site has a small collection of erotic short stories and poems by a woman with the pen name darksaturn. Her work tends to be short, story driven, and a bit of a tease. I think it will particularly appeal to geeks like myself (since she has some Resident Evil fiction). There are also links to her work on other sites, as well as ebooks that she has published through folks like Racy Bunny. - Vamp

This site is a library of artistic nude photography from a lot of the big names in the industry. You'll find everything from surrealism to hardcore porn with great lighting and composition. While most of the subjects are women, there are plenty of men and a few genderqueer individuals as well. You can search for images by photographer (such as Charles Gatewood, Petter Hegre, and Steve Diet Goedde). You can also look for work of a particular style, such as journalistic. There are a few "date" photosets on the site, and they are a bit like an adult erotic photo story. They pair images of one woman in several settings with a very brief story of what is going on. I found those interesting. It is impossible to swiftly download any of these photosets, and the images are fairly small on the screen. That said, the work itself is very exciting, as you'd expect from these artists. I counted 82 galleries, but it was difficult to figure out whether I was seeing everything or not. The site says that they currently have over 12,000 photos, and that is possible. I wasn't thrilled that the cost of the site was so vague, since there is no mention about whether it will be recurring or not. Whenever that happens, it is usually safe to bet on it being a recurring charge. This site seems a natural as a Vamp's Pick due to all the great artists present, but the organization was just a bit too awkward (and the images too small) for me to enjoy it as much as I'd like. Still, this is a wonderful price for access to all of this artwork (and the presentation is quite pretty)! - Vamp

Captain Shame is writing very interesting illustrated erotica based on the happenings of the fictional Red Lion Street! When I visited the site, there were currently fourteen chapters of the serial novel. Each of the chapters explores one of the women in a house along the street. The tales are short, have a few striking illustrations, and often involve some oral sex and ejaculation on clothing. I think that this will particularly appeal to folks that enjoy stories of subtle female dominance, high heels, stockings, and tease and denial. A great free story site! - Vamp

Bebe St. Croix self-describes as a "sex coach" and offers advice about sex to those that write to her. This blog style advice/erotica site features articles on how women may be more sexy to men, how to give oral sex to a man, why men like mail order brides, and such. There are also a few pieces of erotic fiction about a character named "Victoria". The stories are of medium length and fit well within the idea of mainstream erotica. They are definitely worth a read! The advice and sex coaching services? Well, there is no information given about Ms. St. Croix's education or background as a coach. So, I find the whole idea highly suspect. The advice doled out on the site is often the propagation of hegemonic heterosexual roles as often spoon fed to us in western media. Wear the highest heels? Grow your hair long? Be submissive? Remember to swallow? All men want oral sex? This advice is sometimes dangerous (as in the case of promoting unsafe sexual practices), and is at best not particularly educational. Please understand that all of these types of sexual expression and preference are valid to think/feel/pursue in consensual relationships, but promoting them as educational materials distributed by a professional is not acceptable. An example? Even a paraprofessional counselor should be able to understand what is problematic about telling people that an intrinsic part of a person's gender identity is the acceptance of a certain type of sexual act. Our gender is not defined by the sex we must accept or enjoy. Period. So, I recommend this site to story hunters, but not so much for information seekers. - Vamp » More Info!

I love the idea behind this project! Back in 2005, a bunch of Literotica authors got together and decided to put out anthologies of erotica fiction and poetry to benefit charity. All of the proceeds from the books go to the charity each volume designates (which has included folks like The American Red Cross, Autism Speaks, Amnesty International, and many smaller organizations). There are around 37 different volumes on sale now, and you can download a free playbill pdf to get complete author bios for each contributor. I really loved the free playbill, since it was a great link list to find new authors! All of the books sold here have full descriptions and word counts (and are available in pdf, epub, lit, pdb, lrf, Mobi, rb, and sometimes hardcover). Many of the books are priced between .99 and a few bucks, so they are very reasonable to purchase as well. The one thing that I wish the site had was an explanation of the purchase/delivery, since I like that explained before I purchase. Contact is limited to a form, which was a bit of a second strike on the technical level. I highly recommend writing to them to answer any questions first, if you are worried about the purchase procedure. A wonderful homegrown project that has contributed thousands to charity! If you are an author, you should also note that they have contributor guidelines on the site. - Vamp

Woman is a young person that moved from Canada to China almost a decade ago. She loves to write erotica, and she occasionally shares pictures from her life as well. There are almost a dozen pieces of erotica here, some of which have a definite male dominant/female submissive flavor to them. Woman doesn't discuss politics very often, but I found the short discussion of her thoughts on erotic censorship quite interesting. I think that you might as well. - Vamp

This site is completely in German, so I may have missed a few things about the content. Danielle de Santiago was born in France, and currently lives in Germany. He has been part of the European literary scene for quite some time, and won several awards for his erotic writing. This site gives a list of books, articles, ebooks, short stories, erotic audio books, magazine columns, and more that he has written. These include a few English pieces that he has prepared for Cleis Press and Star Books. The author has a short FAQ, lists contact info, and even supplies a link to his diary (on another site). There appears to be an erotic audio file buried in the "other" section, but since I do not speak German it was lost upon me. A neat author's site! - Vamp

If you are looking for some thoughtful, hot, and interesting free original erotica than I heartily recommend checking out this collaborative blog written by William Crimson (RedBud) and Raziel Moore (Monocle). These two authors share a real passion for writing, and have very complimentary styles. Here is a sample of William's work: "As I undress you, I give thanks. I give thanks to your throat. I kiss the hallow. In gratitude, I pull your skirt over your hips as you wiggle, straighten and stretch on the bed. I give thanks to your beautiful back. I lick the feminine curve of your spine. I start at the back of your neck, at your hair’s soft wisps, and I lick downward, between your smooth shoulder blades and into the dip and flexible arch of your back, then downward and upward over the round invitation of your hips. They rise for me and your slender legs part." Beautiful! Themes explored cover a wide spectrum from romantic erotica to supernatural and impregnation porn. There are also links to their ebooks and webzine work. A great author site with lots of free goodies! - Vamp

Debbie's blog is back after a bit of a hiatus, and there is an archive of around six years worth of writing. She writes about her life, but she is also very fond of crafting erotica (especially with an oral sex theme). One of the things I really love about this blogger is that she has a fetish for men who are wearing clothes, but somehow have their penis sticking out. She has appealed to her readers to indulge her fetish, and so they send in images which she features on "Cock Blogging Wednesday". She also has a "Debbie Does You" feature, in which she indulges requests for stories. If you read through the blog, you'll witness quite a journey complete with pictures and audio. A nifty blog, and a very nice erotica writer. - Vamp

Loki Renard writes lesbian romance ebooks that deal with spanking. This site gives details about her novellas, as well as sample chapters. She also shares a free serialized bit of spanking fiction called Tempus Brat. Books are available for purchase offsite at Lulu, and a page count or word count is available for all of them (although you may have to click through to see the Lulu listing). You can also read her blog, which discusses spanking and sexuality. The site is definitely driven by a personal interest in the topic! - Vamp

If you are looking for a pretty casual and anonymous place in cyberspace to kick back and have conversations about sexuality, then this might be a good one to try. It is also a nifty place to read and share original erotic stories. The host of the site is "Courtney", a genuinely charming and attractive woman that asks new questions in a video each week (and participates in discussions). All of the content is organized in forums. The forums cover romance and love, fantasy, forbidden, bloopers, toys, questions, and tips. This is not a place run by (or overflowing with) experts. It is simply a place to do an anonymous sexy meet and greet with others and share opinions and experiences. As the content is user generated and driven, you'll find the signal to noise ratio varies. It is off to a promising start though, and it appears quite active! - Vamp

Wow, this site really got me going! It is a blog dedicated to publishing anonymous erotic emails. Messages range from very short texts to lengthy and graphic stories. I found some of the content romantic or silly, and other contributions to be gritty and raw. There is more than a bit of voyeuristic zing here, as if you are peeking at an email account that doesn't belong to you. All of the emails are numbered, but there is no other form of identification. If you've ever written something really hot that you'd love to share, this may be a great place to anonymously serve it up for the pleasure of others. The site has a very clear and extensive terms of service agreement, so be sure to read it before handing over your work. Hot! - Vamp

This is a relatively new site, but I'm curious to see what develops. The idea here is to write serial erotic stories that follow the same characters through a season of hardcore sexuality, with each season being comprised of 22 episodes. Each episode is stand alone, and ten stories per season will only be available to folks that purchase them. All of the others will be free! There are two series available at the moment, one of which is a coming of age story about University life and the other is a murder mystery. The site also has vignettes (which are one off stories), and a new free articles section. There is a custom story option as well, and for $17 you can purchase your own erotic story written to your specifications. The only problem? They didn't give an approximate word count, so I would discuss this with them before purchase. Contact info is email only, and payment is through Paypal (which can sometimes be very problematic with erotic purchases). The site is currently looking for writers, and they give a good description of the work offered and the payment. - Vamp

This blog site has around eight stories written by "Brian". The author doesn't actually talk about himself at all, and just lets the work stand alone. There isn't an index of any kind, but you can sort the stories by tags. The tags include anal sex, big boobs, cum swapping, deep throat, lesbian, straight, swingers, virginity, voyeur, and young. -Vamp

Don't let the webdesign fool you, this isn't just another generic erotica site with affiliate links to adultfriendfinder. TEW (The Erotic Woman) features around 356 pieces of original erotica by various authors, as well as quite a few well written columns and essays. The contributors are paid, and at the time that I visited they were seeking more material. There are around 16 affiliate image galleries and a handful of movies here, as well as a rollover ad for a personals site. Most of the written content is unique to the site, however, and worth a read. - Vamp

If you like well written erotica with a cyber twist, than this blog is definitely for you. The Naughty Secretary has been churning out passionate stories since the last part of 2007, and many of them include modern twists like texts or cybersex. There are also rare entries about her life, and even more occasional reviews of sex toys or products. This author seems to do a particularly good job of conveying a sense of yearning, which I found especially emotionally moving. - Vamp
