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!

Sexy costumes for Halloween are great on their own, but why stop at skimpy outerwear? This garment, “The Merry Widow,” will look great under any number of…hot little numbers. Hey, why follow a crowd? Those little extras are what make you “You.”

They say, there’s a little witch in every woman. This year why not throw out your mom’s wicked witch of the west costume and cast a new spell? Try naughty witch of the north! Sexy witches are hot.

So now that you know where to get the costume, here are some delightful tips from the dark horse of the romantic world!

This is my favorite holiday of the year! And being a gruesome twosome can certainly add another fun and kinky dimension to a roaring holiday! Sexy costumes, tons of sweets, why not set a date for Halloween and let your inner childish ghoul come outr and play! Vicki Salemi lets you in on finding a date for Halloween.

This is one of the friendliest intros to kink that I have found. Horray for blogger Auntie Mabel at “Head.” Here’s what’s written on this blog and a link to the rest of the article:“The last bastion of non-monogamous romance can be found in the least likely place: kink, the dark horse of the romantic world. Like Ally Sheedy in the Breakfast Club, you may think kink is weird and off-putting, but when given a chance, turns out to be cool and pretty sexy. The thing that makes S+M special is that it forces you to be present, both mentally and physically, during sex. It’s more about being super connected to your partner and trusting them than getting off. Getting into kink will remind you that sex should not be a selfish thing, but a mutual give and take in order to make each other feel good. It’s everything a positive relationship should be, plus badass accessories. So, as promised, a basic crash course into the world of BDSM.”  Read the rest.

Adam & Eve has put together an easy page full of “bad ass” “starter bondage items, from accoutrements to apparel. The items range from fun to Oh my! (see below). If you’re into dressing up naughty more than shackles and whips, they have a delightful selection of fantasy lingerie.

Fun

Oh My!

If you only watch one adult DVD in your years, watch Pirates. This swashbuckling extravaganza is the hottest piece of digital filmmaking to hit the shelves. It’s been a best-seller in the AVN charts since it came out in 2005 and has sold over 40,000 copies (says Adam&Eve). As a woman, I love the pirate fantasy-especially when it leaves Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom behind for some real action- the story, the sets and costumes. If you can’t do XXX, there’s a version out without the hardcore sex. The only thing that could be better is a Pirates 2: Stagnetti’s Revenge with Belladonna…oh wait. That’s coming out soon!

Here’s what the adult video pros at AVN had to say about Pirates. (Review by Jared Rutter)

Pirates is as much fun as an adult movie has any right to be - a bubbly blend of action-adventure, comedy, special effects and sex, plus the awesome eye-candy of the combined contract girls of Digital Playground and Adam & Eve. With maritime locations and sets that include a real pirate ship, plus some superb CGI work, it must be the most lavish skinflick ever made.

Its homage to pirate potboilers is heavily laced with ironic humor (think Pirates of the Caribbean). The hero, Capt. Edward Reynolds (Evan Stone), is a spectacularly inept pirate hunter, who, with his smart and sexy sidekick Jules (Jesse Jane), takes on the dreaded scourge of the seas, Capt. Victor Stagnetti (Tommy Gunn) and his supremely evil consort Serena (Janine).

Director Joone, known mostly for plotless erotic-eyeful fluff like the Island Fever series, shows a sure hand with story material, pacing the action well and handling a large cast with many small non-sex roles. Credited with photography and art direction as well as original story, he is definitely this picture’s auteur.

High Definition videography, even on a non-HD player, looks postcard-perfect, and a soaring John Williams-esque score adds to the epic sweep. The climactic battle with the skeletons of the undead adds chills and thrills.

Acting honors go mostly to the men. Stone manages to swashbuckle while getting laughs - a real star turn. Gunn, with his glass eye and raspy growl, is a downright scary villain.

But the really stunning performance comes from Janine, who dominates the screen from her first spectral appearance to her ultimate redemption. Completely inhabiting her juicy role, she has the larger than life presence of a Hollywood icon. It’s the capstone of her career.

Most memorable of the 12 sex scenes is Janine’s with Jesse Jane, coming late in the picture but well worth the wait. Jane also sparkles in scenes with Carmen Luvana and Steven St. Croix.

As good as the sex is, it’s only one element in this total entertainment package.
