When in L.A., visit Polyester, and explore the eccentric side of downtown! This wonderful and unexpected gem of a bookstore, totally excites me: Books on vintage erotica, unusual fetishes, sexploitation, erotic subculture and a gallery that specializes in vintage and contemporary photography. When I first wandered into this store, I didn’t want to leave because I couldn’t put down this book on Sex Machines by Timothy Archibald. Mondo bizarre!

I just saw the trailer to this new documentary. Apparently, it’s a little controversial in the adult entertainment community…so it may be worth checking out for people who want a well-rounded perspective (taking it all in) from stars like Joanna Angel. This may not be safe for work due to frank discussions of the topic.

I know we’re getting close to a sugary sweet holiday season. For the cynics with toothache, here is a little eye candy antidote to Dita.

A reader sent me this pic of sex positions by the number, which made me think that maybe I would have been better at math had it been taught by these numbers…if you’re still math-phobic, here’s something for the literati.

Not only does Agent Provocatuer showcase some sexy lingerie collections, their ad campaigns are hot! My other favorite brand of luxurious erotica for the eyes comes from Coco de Mer. However, Agent Provocateur has followed up their steamy Season of the Witch collection with their newly launched ‘Pirate Provocateur’ staring super model Helena Christensen. This Sultry campaign shows Helena seducing the captains crew with those mesmerizing green eyes, much like she did Chris Isaak in that video: Wicked Game.

If you’re up for a little role playing, try watching the biggest adult movie ever! Pirates 2: Stagnetti’s Revenge , to get in the mood.

Here’s what the Aussies had to say abotu cyber sex and the people who (on average) dig it:

Most are male and well educated, apparently, and they spend an average of 12 hours per week chatting, having cyber sex with the help of their webcam, downloading videos, and sending erotic emails.

“We found that 27 per cent of them were moderate to severely depressed on the standard depression scales,” Marcus Squirrell from Melbourne’s Swinburne University of Technology pointed out to the news provider.

The general effect: Depression.

Hm. Now that’s bad news. Note to self: Must find other way to get endorphins up.

Erika Lust and Petra Joy are rocking my world, internationally. These two European female porn directors really know what turns women on. If you looking for some good female-friendly hardcore, I recommmend “5 Hot Stories for Her” and “Female Fantasies.” Carry on…

So, there an trend in the adult world: horror porn. I love it. As a lifelong fan of the gothic, slasher films, and, well, also a connoiseur of the erotic, this seems a happy, vampy match. Coming on up to Halloween, you may want to consider unleashing your inner vamp and exploring the social anxieties that got the Victorians all faint and flustered. Get out your best role-playing abilities and put those sexy costumes to good use with a night in at your manor!

The news about my favortie diva Madonna just gets worse. I was quite happy she had settled down in the UK with man and family. Alas, rumors of an affair and all that spelled immiment divorce. But does anyone else have a hard time faulting the woman who did so much to open us all up about sex?

Orgasms get better with age, says Halle Berry, in a recent Esquire article. Just thought I’d throw that bit of joy out there, ladies.

“You know that stuff they say about a woman being responsible for her own orgasms? That’s all true,” she said. “In my case, that makes me responsible for pretty damn good orgasms.”
