Ruby Ryder is the author at this website, and she really loves pegging. Her enthusiasm for the subject is infectious, I found myself thinking about broaching the subject with my partner. The website is mostly text-based, although you do find an occasional photo. When I visited, there were four free stories written by Ms. Ryder, along with a F.A.Q. about the subject, and some helpful advice for those new to pegging, or who are just thinking about it, in how to communicate with their partner about this taboo practice. The stories were well-written and arousing, with varying levels of power play. There were also a couple of mp3 files of her reading her stories that were free to download. If you love her writing and want more, you can pay for the rest of her stories. $15 buys you a story a month for one year, with access to 3 stories at any given time, $25 buys you a story a month for a year with access to six stories at a time, and $50 gets you access to all the stories she's written, currently standing at 26. There is also info on the site about pegging classes Ruby has taught, so look there in case there are upcoming classes.

Elaine Shuel writes erotic ebooks with a decidedly hardcore flavor. She specializes in erotic romance, gangbangs, interracial, male perspective stories, BDSM, and sexual murder mystery. This site gives a list of some of her latest stories (complete with short blurb, word count, and cost), and links to where you can purchase the ebooks. You can go with smaller retailers (such as smashwords), or the big names like Amazon. At the time that I visited, she was giving away a free ebook. There are links to her blog, facebook page, and contact info. A basic and straightforward author site. She may be of particular interest to you if you've wondered about phone sex, as one of her books is a memoir of how she became a phone sex operator. - Vamp

This blog is a collaboration of articles from different contributors. There is an "Ask Miss Geek" column, erotica, date reports, sex toy reviews, and a small amount of feminist writing. The whole thing is presided over by Mistress Arabella, who describes herself as "a pansexual sensate aesthete". There is some pretty sizzling erotica here, and I especially recommend it to women that enjoy reading about sensual submission. - Vamp

AlwaysArousedGirl reviewed this site back in 2008 and said: "DeltaOfVenus.com, described by the site owner as 'part historical archive, and part enlightened porn website,' is chock-full of a century's worth of images, films and stories, digitally restored whenever possible... [The movies] are absolutely charming, both in terms of action, setting and background music....[P]rices are more than reasonable for the enormous amount of truly unique content here." The site is still charming, sexy, and a great value! There are currently over 400 streaming and downloadable mp4 movies (most of which are under 10 minutes long). The earliest go back as far as 1915, and the latest were shot in 1975. The smallest category represented is erotic cartoons, but there are still 9 animated shorts that are extremely interesting. I love how each film has the date and country of origin, as well as a brief synopsis. The photo archive covers from 1850-1979, and there are currently 1,970 images available in the new section. You can also see a few more images if you look at the bits of the photo archive that have not been brought over to the new design yet. The literature area offers 8 full length erotic novels, 4 fiction excerpts, and a few poems. All of these are in pdf format, and can be downloaded or read in your browser. The art section has almost a dozen small galleries of erotic art from the 1800s thru the early 1900s. The site owner has also written around 7 original articles on early pornography. One of the incredibly unique sections of the website is an archive of old sound files. There are around 18 mp3s, most of which come from 1960-70's sexual education records and 8 tracks. I don't know whether I'd call those sexy, but they were highly amusing (especially a couple of the files that featured, "[A] supremely disinterested and possibly drunk Brooklyn narrator." Other odds and ends can be found on the site, like a suggested reading list and word origin information on many erotic words. I thoroughly enjoyed this place, and was sometimes shocked by how absolutely depraved early erotica could be (and I mean that in the best of ways). If you enjoy fetish content, you'll see a small but beautiful collection of cat fighting, bondage, and spanking here. Excellent resource for retro erotica! Highly recommended! - Vamp

I reviewed this place back in 2005, and it has only gotten better! This site turned me on and got me off, and I think that is the biggest praise I can give an erotic site! Three pillows is essentially a member site based around bisexual content, and it specifically targets Male-Male-Female interaction. This content is far more rare than I'd like it to be! The site is Bi-owned and operated, and the folks behind the website are very active in soliciting member opinions and responding to requests. There are a ton of pictures (now well over 300,000), and each pic is available in two size formats. Pics are sorted between solo males, M/M and Bi, M/F, FF and bi, solo females, Transsexuals, F/F/M, and M/M/F. There are many groups shots and other types of photos, however. Exclusive stuff is always labeled! In addition to all the pics there are over 1,000 streaming and downloadable movies of hardcore action ranging from short clips to full length movies. The movie content is divided between the original content (available in wmv and mpeg), and the 4 supplemental full length bisexual movies a month by DVD Masters (available in wmv and silverlight). There is also an interesting "Sex Ed" section of movies, that offers quite a few short videos on topics such as hymens and how to give a great blowjob. For those more inclined towards words, there is an erotica section with a ton of stories geared towards the Three Pillows audience which are all sorted and given story description codes so you can find what you want fast. All stories are printable, and there are hundreds! There are also pictorial stories that merge written and visual content, and if you just have to hear something sexy you can head over to the audio section which offers lots of RealMedia and MP3 sound clips. For those with an artistic spirit, there are erotic art pieces, original bi-comics, and poetry also. There is just so much here including links to chat rooms, personal ad access, shockwave games, affiliate store, fun columns, various boards (including one in which members share their fantasies), and such that I just can't list it all. Customer service is superb and cancellation info is super easy to find. Impressive, hot, and an established site that keeps getting better! The preview section will give you an excellent idea of content. One of my all time favorites! - Vamp » More Info!

If you like erotic comics and art, I cannot recommend this site enough! All of the work here is female created and original, and I found it to be clever and hot as hell. There are a variety of artistic styles presented by folks such as Gina Biggs, Kittyhawk, Jamie Jennings, Yana Goya, and more. The artist known as "NG" is my particular favorite, as I believe that I love her more than cake. There are over 1,700 pages of comics, and a pinup archive. All of the comics are in English, and some have more involved plots than others. You can choose a genre by gender/focus such as male, female, transgender, other worldly, multiple types, and futa. (If you are unfamiliar with futa, it stands for futanari. The figures in this style of work often are hermaphrodites that present in a very feminine way. What does that mean? It means that they are essentially portrayed as women with fully functional male and female genitalia.) Storylines include gay, lesbian, bisexual, group, heterosexual, and label defying situations. As I mentioned before, this work is created particularly for the site and is graphically sexual. Within a matter of minutes, I was completely hooked and deeply turned on. I think that anyone into erotic comics will do the dance of joy upon finding this place, especially given the price! The organization is excellent, and there are no ads to bug you. - Vamp

Dark Gracie describes herself as, "...[A]n acclaimed photographer, sex author, and deviant extraordinaire, who first began writing erotica in 2005." You can find her work at places like Fleshbot and PopSyndicate, and she is also published in Erotic Diaries. This site largely consists of journal posts that read like erotic stories. I was struck by how often they had elements of technology involved in the plot, such as sexting or sending each other audio files. I liked that! Most of the content was fairly heterosexual, but she is definitely attracted to women as well. Here is a sample of her writing style: "I love being on top. I come intensely when I am riding a cock. There is a slight problem with me in this position…I can get very violent and I have punched my own husband in the face Californication style, except I punch better and harder than that girl on the show." The stories here are super hot, but some of the essays advocate unsafe sex practices (without any sort of caveat). I was a bit disappointed at that. Other than that, the site is hot as heck! - Vamp

If you love original erotic fiction, this site is an exceptional treat! Amanda Gannon and Paul D. Batteiger write adult adventure serials, and they update three times a week. Genres include wild west, steampunk, urban fantasy, paranormal romance, high fantasy, and more! They describe the erotica in their work as being rather heterosexual most of the time, but it definitely explores gay and lesbian sexuality as well. Group sex, BDSM, voyeurism, "borderline nonconsensual situations", and lots of erotic dialogue are definitely included in the storytelling. Membership includes access to all of the novels written so far, which currently means around 225 chapters of original writing. Wow! There are a lot of free chapters available to read, so you get more than a fair sample to determine if you enjoy the style they work in. When they are done with a novel, they release it for sale as an ebook. I think that is wonderful, since some folks may like only certain storylines. There is also a blog full of free short articles on the site. Personally? I think the $5 a month price tag is a real steal for the huge amount of original fiction you'll gain access to here. This is a definite find! - Vamp

I reviewed the webzine OystersandChocolate.com back in 2006, and I gave it an extremely positive review. I mentioned that they had a nice little community growing over there, and it may be a place to consider submitting work if you were a writer. All of these years later, Jordan LaRousse and Samantha Sade (the founders of that website) have launched the OC Press! They organize their books into categories like the ones found on the webzine. So, there is Vanilla (straight up old fashioned sex), Licorice Whips (BDSM), Dirty Martini (voyeurism, fetish, and group), Banana Split (gay and bisexual male), and Oysters (lesbian sex). There are also titillating categories such as Banned Erotica, that features titles that were banned by other booksellers. All of the books have a cover image, description, excerpt, and word count. They are also rated by "Spice Level", with sweet books using sexy euphemisms and softer lovemaking and spicy books containing more in-your-face smut. You get an email with a zipped copy of your book right after purchase, and it is available in three formats (mobi, pdf, and ePub). Customer service info can be found in the helpful FAQ, but contact is form only. If you want to have your book on the site, there are thorough submission guidelines. They also offer indie author services such as book art, editing, and ebook formatting. A well organized and pretty site that contains quite a bit of information without overwhelming the reader. Highly recommended if you want to find some sizzling erotica! - Vamp

Phoenix is a middle aged Scottish accountant living in Australia, and one heck of a fun lesbian BDSM writer! This site has a bunch of free short stories featuring women in hardcore BDSM scenarios with other women. Here is a sample of their work: "I said nothing as she placed the ball gag in my mouth, she knew I hated it, yet again I was wearing it. Only yesterday had I spent most of the day with the hateful thing in my mouth, drooling. It was worse on my back since the drool slid down my face and into my ears and hair. She sat staring at me before eventually getting up and leaving the room. As I lay there I cursed her for owning me inside out." Free short stories and a simple design! - Vamp

Is breast torture and bondage a major turn-on? You'll find a lot of ebooks that focus on that subject here! They also have historical, sci-fi, vampire, culinary, and general BDSM fiction. What is culinary? It basically involves food fetish, such as eating sushi off of a human table. When I visited, there was a list of books available through the publisher (and each of the books had a short blurb to describe the story). The publisher currently has Smashwords set to allow you to read 20% of the content before purchase, so you will have an easy time deciding if a book is for you. The author bios section is also a pretty nifty place to learn about some neat writers. A very simple and easy to navigate book site. - Vamp

Lady Grinning Soul is a surprising, sexy, and transgressive writer that has a lot of free content for the discerning lover of erotica. The stories here are pretty inventive and can go to fairly dark corners of the imagination (like zombie erotica in which someone is devoured). Frankly, I loved it! Some of her work is illustrated with original images, which I personally found super hot. She has one piece about menstruation that I found myself writhing in my seat over...absolutely beautiful! In addition to her self-labeled "smut", she also has plenty of other things available. She has a blog, sex toy reviews, poetry, and articles about sex and society. If you enjoy podcasts, she has one that you can subscribe to through iTunes. There is also a free gallery of nude images that is quirky, unusual, and sensual. When I visited, it appeared that she was planning an advice section (although she lists her credentials as simply being someone who reads other advice columnists). There were no letters in this section when I looked. I have to say that I really enjoyed the intimate and creative energy of this site, and I wanted to spend a whole lot longer here reading these unusual stories. I absolutely adore her imagination! - Vamp

If you are looking for erotica that features an element of mind control, this site has a lot to offer. There are over 8,000 stories, many of which are found on www.asstr.org as well. This is a collection of those stories (as well as many others sent directly to the site owner) that has been lovingly organized by author, categories, and titles. This is wonderful, because it means that if you are looking for erotica featuring (for example) mind control and lactation, you can navigate to exactly what you want very fast. There is also a list of related sites (which often includes links to authors), and a couple of forums that are related to the website. The quality of the stories is uneven, as different authors have contributed. A fabulous treasure trove of mind control! - Vamp

The web store section of this site has some problems, but everything else here is wonderful! Scottie Lowe has put together a really positive pansexual site that (in her words) is meant to, "...[P]rovide people of African descent a place to escape the narrow-minded, stereotypical, limiting and oft-times degrading beliefs that abound about our sexuality." At the time I visited there were 61 well written bits of erotica, and 7 sexy podcasts. The messages on this site are healthy and responsible. An example? "The foundation of every strong relationship is honesty, sharing, caring, and a willingness to be your most vulnerable self with your partner." The podcast that I listened to had some wonderful and sexy stories told in a very sensual voice. There is a small ecards section, and a personals section as well. The personals section has terms of service posted, including privacy info. The store section has lingerie, toys, and other adult items for sale. Unfortunately, the customer service and contact info for the shop is completely absent. I couldn't find anything about shipping or returns, for example. Contact seemed to be limited to a form only. I'd love to come back here and give them a quality rating (or higher) if the store is tweaked. A nice start to a site with a positive and awesome mission! - Vamp

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).

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

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
