Guest blog: Extract from ‘The Guardian – a demon romance’
Who fancies a bit of supernatural smut in the form of a demon romance? The fabulous Ollie Fox, who has contributed some fabulous stories – both natural and supernatural – to the audio porn project, is here to share an extract from their latest book! Naturally when they offered me an extract which included sexual tension and flirtation with an actual demon, the eager little goth in my heart could not resist. Here’s the blurb for the book: “Most people get a guardian angel, but Lily Collins learns that she was assigned a guardian demon. Now she has to choose whether to join him in Hell as his semi-immortal consort, or keep the life she loves but never see him again, in life or death. And she has to decide fast, because the longer she waits, the graver the danger…to herself, and to the world.” I love Ollie’s work, and the way they manage to make the supernatural so powerfully human. Check out the fantastic extract below to whet your appetite, and buy the book to read more!
Guest blog: Watched and face-fucked – my first visit to a sex club
Rule number one in life is you should tell people what you like, because often they’ll give you more of it. I make my love of ‘first time‘ stories known, so when the fabulous sex blogger Missy – from FocusedAndFilthy – had a red-hot post to write about her first visit to a sex club, she knew exactly who (ME ME ME) would go wild for hearing it. Come read her exquisitely horny post about the thrill of being watched as she is spanked, humiliated, and face-fucked in front of a crowd of strangers…
Guest blog: What’s it like to run an ethical sex toy shop?
Today’s guest blog is something a little different, because I really want to introduce you to the fabulous person behind The Pleasure Garden – an awesome ethical sex toy shop that sponsors my website. If you’d like to buy stuff you can use the code GOTN10 for 10% off anything they stock, but I’m not trying to actively sell you anything here, I just wanted to introduce you to someone cool: Francesca Cross, who runs it. I have written about a number of fantastic Pleasure Garden products over the years, from restraints kits to g-spot vibes, and door cuffs to doppelganger dicks. And whenever I have a catch-up with Francesca to talk about what I could review next, we always end up in a fascinating sidebar about the challenges involved in trying to carve an ethical path through the adult industry: how to improve accessibility, how to make sure the toys in stock are body safe, how to write copy for websites in a way that is inclusive and never shaming. I thought you lot might like to see a glimpse behind the scenes, and meet someone awesome who is working to do exactly that. So I interviewed Francesca! Grab a cup of tea and learn about running an ethical sex toy shop in the UK…
Guest blog: What phone sex work took out of me
Today’s guest blogger is the fabulous Javi Osei, who blogs over at The Love Script and on Substack as Stranger in Lisbon. She’s here to talk about her experience of phone sex work and the impact it had on her. As she told me in her initial pitch: “The money was real, but so was the emotional burden.” I’m so grateful to her for sharing her experiences, and giving an insight into what it was like for her to work on the phone lines.
Note that this piece contains real (anonymised) quotes from client calls, and as such details some fantasies and obsessions that might be disturbing (and racist).
Guest blog: Sex in the time of fascism
It feels weird turning up to work when fascism is on the rise. It certainly does for me, anyway. Why am I still posting porn? Who wants to wank when we’re scared about the people we love? Erik’s guest blog pitch couldn’t have come at a better time, when I’ve been wrestling with this question and feeling monstrously silly for continuing to do this horny little job even as I’m shaking with rage at the news. He’s here to talk about the power of horny feelings, and joy, and why we shouldn’t abandon sex in the time of fascism. I’m so very grateful to him for sharing this incredible post.
