I’m the one who decided in a foolhardy moment to take the plunge, “just do it” and put this site online back in June of 1997. I’ve designed and run various websites over the years, but this has always been the big project. My life has taken lots of twists and turns since starting this, but now I am happily married to a man I adore named Elliott, and when I’m not doing this I’m off traveling, skiing, sailing and adventuring with my gorgeous man.

And now let me introduce you to the rest of us...

Vamp is a 30something woman barreling towards 40 and desperately hitting the brakes with no response. She has created (or worked with) a variety of free sites and publications on the topic of human sexuality. She has the heart of a child, is infinitely curious about everything, and is kinky as hell. Don’t ask her a question unless you really want the answer!

Peter Throckmorton has cheerfully claimed the title 'slut' for decades, ever since doing his best to live up to the Summer of Love effort in the 1960s. Now living with his loving queer partner and their family of cats in the Pacific Northwest, he has visited every state in the US, and his resume lists former jobs ranging from librarian to paramedic, from tree topper to - now - purveyor of smut. Outside of Jane's Guide, where he has worked since 1999, he also pursues a full time career in healthcare. One goal in life is to gather the world's largest collection of sex-related t-shirts [XXL, please] while helping to create a sex-positive democracy in the post-George Bush America. For many years he kept an online journal of his eclectic adventures, which isn't currently being updated, but which still makes a fine read. Photo by Charles Gatewood.

Recently single, AAG explores her kinky side in the Upper Midwest and is THRILLED to be working with Jane. You can find her blog here if you’d like to know more!

Shay has been writing about sex and sexuality for a few years, but has been "studying" it practically since puberty - she enjoys both learning and teaching others about new things. Shay has written for a couple of different university papers and currently maintains a site where, after a quick look around, you might pick up on her mini-obsession with hentai. When she's not having, reading or writing about sex, Shay enjoys a variety of other physical activities like squash, martial arts, rock climbing, and plain ol' biking. Her turn offs include smoking, dry sex, and obnoxious talk in pornos.

Jack is shy, so we have no picture of him. He’s our wonderful inhouse tech guy, who programmed all of our new stuff for us mostly just out of the goodness of his heart. What can I say, he’s a Jane fan, so he was willing to go WAY beyond the normal call of duty for the pittance we had to offer him monetarily - although he has been paid with a goodly amount of free porn, which was fine by him being the red-blooded male that he is. What else about Jack: in his spare time he’s an adrenaline junky with a thing for skiing, fast cars and faster airplanes. He’s married with children (sorry girls, cause he IS a cutie)
