Most notibly from the blogger in the number one spot Dangerious Lilly. From that she wrote a really interesting article on the value of ranking lists and are they something she wants to support. From there a number of other bloggers have also written their thoughts including Girl on the Net and Emmeline Peaches. The most amazing part of the discussion is Dangerious Lilly has given her prize money to the Woodhull Conference to enable a couple of bloggers who can't afford to go to make it too the next one. But on top of that she raises a number of valid

Written by Joanne Summers. A couple of rants Before we get started I have a couple of rants I needed to get off my chest. Women's Chess Championships This years women's chess championships are due to take place in Iran, a country not exactly praised for its treatment of women. A number of players are calling for a boycott of the event, and they might just have a point. But it opened up another question which was.. why is there even a women's championship? It's not like chess is a physical sport, the genders can easily compete fairly in this. So not just have a single championship open to all? Update: There is an interesting take on it an

We asked Erryn if she would write about it for use because her other half is a wheel chair user and we know she has some very strong and well thought out opinions about it. Erryn is also a Cam Girl and has written about it for us previously and did a great job. Sex education She makes the great point that disability isn't talked about in sex education. It is hard to normalise it if it isn't discussed. This is a huge failing in the education of children because they need to be shown that it is just as normal as anything else. How does it work One of the questions she gets a lot is "How does it

This week we are talking about non-fiction erotica based on the article written for us by Molly Moore. You can check out here web site and see some of her great photography. Come and say hello This weekend (Saturday 15th October) we will be at Smut Manchester. Where we are going to be teaching people how to make their own fun things in latex. Nominate the top 100 sex blogs Make sure you have nominated your favorite sex blogs. Molly is actually running this years top 100 sex blogs and collecting together all the nominations. We love it because it isn't based on popularity, only quality. So having a huge following doesn't help you win, you have to good. Make sure you have nominated your favorites. Non-erotic fiction Something that is true about any blog is that doing it consistently is really hard. You would think just writting words would be easy but it really isn't the case. Being consistent is even harder. Sometime it is really easy to write a post, it just flows out of you like the one I did for EAN magaz

This week we are talking about Erotic Sketching thanks to the article written by Victoria Blisse. But first - Top 100 Sex Blogs 2016 Did you know we are sponsoring this years Top 100 Sex Blogs list ? Nomination are open until 31st October 2016. Check out the rules and nominate as many of your favourite sex blogs as you like. Then follow the hashtag #Top100SexBlogs2016 on twitter to see what is going on. When we were asked if we would sponsor this years list we jumped at the chance. We love working with the blogging community and the team at Molly's Daily Kiss. We have even thrown in a few extra prizes of our own to make it even more special. If you love a sex blog make sure you show them a little love by nominating them. Something else If you are involved in the adult industry, you either make your own products or you retail them. We are doing something very different. We are brining together a number of people from a load of different companies to meet up and chat. The purpose of the meetup is to talk about

This week we are talking about Feminish and Submission, based on the article written for us byGirl on the Net. Are the two ideas mutually excluisive or are they more compatible than you might think?

This week we are talking about Female Genital Mutilation, piercings, and the law. This is based on the article we had written for us this week by Trojan Princess. If you are sensitive to this topic please don't listen to it. We don't go into graphic details but we do understand it can be hard to listen to. This question came about because there was a lot of news last year about whether it was legal for a woman in the UK to have their genitals pierced. It seems like a strange question but because of the FGM laws there isn't a simple answer. It turns out that getting a genital piercing is done by about 2% of the UK population (1.2 million people). So it isn't uncommon. What is FGM and what is the law trying to stop The UK law is based on the World Health Organisations (WHO) definitions of FGM. Four types of FGM: Type I: Clitoridectomy: partial or total removal of the clitoris; Type II: Excision: partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora; Type II

This week we are talking about the UK porn laws, what they are and how they affect you in suprising ways. This is based on our article this week written by Screw Taboo. Where to start One of the biggest problems with our laws is that no one can be totally sure what is legal and what isn't until it is judged in a court. That opinion can even change from case to case based on the jury who judges it. "The law is an ass" - Charles Dickens So when does something become illegal? There is a very broard range of things a pair of adults can do together including bondage, breath play, water sports. All these things are perfectly legal until you commit them to film. Or more worringly until you write about them in some cases. That isn't just writting about them in the form of a story, but writting them in a text message you send from your phone or on Facebook is deemed as publishing them, and that can make them illegal to posses. It is worth understanding "The obscene publication act comes into effect when something be

This week we are talking about the our article called "What is Feminism?". Where Girl on the Net walks us through her thoughts on Feminism, what it means to her, and why if you stand up for equality between the sexes you are a feminist. This is one of those articles where Andrew wasn't sure if it should be written for us where as Pixie was really interested in Girl on the Nets thoughts. It's not about being a man hater This is of course how it is sometimes portrayed on TV, that is what gets ratings and makes for good TV. But that really isn't what it is about and isn't the part you should to focus on. In many ways we have both been very lucky in that we have both been brought up to believe than men and women can do anything they like. There are no limits on where they can work or what they can do. Even coming from IT backgrounds (which are very male dominated) isn't as chauvinistic as it might appear. Is "Feminism" a problematic term This is a discussion we have had on twitter this week since the article came

This week we are talking about food and sex based on this weeks article written for us by Girl on the Net. Food and sex "Sploshing" is the term for sex involving food, usually involving a lot of it or something very mucky. But bringing food into the bedroom (or where ever you play) can be a lot of fun. Today we find out Andrew doesn't like getting mucky. If you don't want to get food on your bed you can use a fluid proof sheet from Sheets of SanFrancisco. Chocolate Turns out I'm not a great fan of painting someone in chocolate, but if you do like chocolate then you can have a lot of fun Cream Girl on the Net makes a great point that a little cream is nice, but a mouthful of it isn't sexy at all Getting an infection The problem with any food is the sugar in it, once it gets into a body cavity then it can easily cause an infection. Which really isn't something you want. Ice Much easier to understand Ice can give you a huge range of options not just the cold feeling but as part of your sensation play to enhance

This week we are talking about writing your own erotic fiction based on the article created for us by Victoria Blisse. But before we go into that we are talking about what we got up to this last weekend during Sexhibition. Sexhbition For anyone who doesn't know sexhibition is an event that happens each year in Manchester. This year it was at a new venue but unfortunatly we got to see even less of it than ever. We were running our flogger workshop. We have a little moan because if you have ever worked at one of these events you know how much fun it is but it is the hardest you can work over a three day weekend. On the Saturday there was a lot of latex and lingerie on the cat walk, and the Sunday was a lot more about the kinkier side of things. We did manage to catch up with a few people Sheets of SanFrancisco who make the most amazing fluid proof sheets. Ju Ju Jezebel - Makes the most beautiful leather and jewlery. They are off on adventures around the world. Jed Phoenix - Makes just stunning military and jap

This week we are talking about DIY homemade porn based on this weeks article on our blog written by Rebecca from A Couple of Kinks. This weekend we are at Sexhibition in Manchester, if you are going to be there make sure you say hi. DIY Porn Porn has changed, thanks to the Internet not only is it easy to get but it is also now very easy to make. We all have cameras in our pockets that can shoot high quality video and even upload it directly to the Internet if you need to. With people like the amazing Pandora Blake making their own incredibly successful porn sites like Dreams of Spanking, the field has really opened up to just about anyone who wants to make porn. If you are going to make your own porn make sure you are prepared for people you know, will see it, and know what you are doing. You shouldn't be asshamed of it. But make sure you are happy for your mum and your friends to know. Making your own porn Before you jump into this with your partner make sure you have discussed what you are going to do. It m

This weeks podcast is based on this weeks article by Girl on the Net called DIY Sex toys - how to do it yourself (and how not to). We have all thought about making our own sex toys (some more than others) and there is a whole world of stuff you can do out there from wooden spoons right the way through to getting a kit like one of ours and making something from scratch. But a word of caution If you do decide to make your own toys please be careful, you can put things inside you that will take a doctor to get them out, and that really isn't something any of us want. But if you do want a laugh at some of the things people have put inside themselves then take a look at Radiopedia's Rectal Foreign Bodies page. We will be at Sexhibition Sexhbition is the erotic event of the year with a huge show and tons of vendors for you to get all your kinky wears and have a great time. From Friday 19th to Sunday 21st in Manchester, you can get your tickets here. We will be there making the mini-flogger for the lovely Sexhibitio

This week we are talking about beautiful burlesque based on the article we had written for us by Molly Moore. But before that we have some fan mail Going back to the podcast we did on Camgirls a fan tells us what she gets from watching shows on her own or with her partner. Thank you. Where does the word Burlesque come from? Is it just about the little hats? What do you think about when someone says "Burlesque" to you? We think about movement and dance, with comedy and comment thrown in. The word comes from the Italian word "Burla" meaning joke, ridicule, or mockery. The origin of it as a form goes back to the 16th and 17th century where it was a form of parody theatre. Nudity wasn't part of Burlesque until America got it's hands on it. It died off as an art around the middle of the 20th century, and was then revived around the 1970's. Dita von teese Check out her great book "Burlesque and the art of the teese", only £19.99 on Amazon. Well worth getting, and when you turn it over it's all about fetish. World b

What is Erotic Fan Fiction, put simply it is witting your own story based on the characters or setting of someone has created. This is based on our article by Victoria Blisse. Is it legal? Is it legal to create your own fan fiction? Turns out that is a tricky question. You need to understand copyright and how it is applied in your country. Copyright in the UK Since 1995 Copyright is granted on all creative works up to 70 years after the authors death. At which point it becomes public domain. Before 1956 most content isn't copyrighted at all, but make sure you read the law before you do anything with them. Some useful articles: Fanfiction: Creators, communities and copyright Copyright law of the UK (Wikipedia) Copyright and the value of the public domain Example: Sherlock Holmes Correction: Almost entirely in the public domain Because of a quirk in the copyright law (published before 1956) some of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories have been granted 95 year protections after the author died. That means 10 o

This week we are talking about erotic video games based on the article by Girl on the Net. There is a lot of fun in this article with a lot of memories for both of us. Leisure suite larry We strat with the classic game "Leisure Suite Larry", but we go back even further to the ZX Spectrum and how there is even sexy games on that, and lots of them. Check out (world of spectrum)[http://worldofspectrum.org/] If we go right back to the dawn of the Internet, before there were web pages there was bulletin boards. On there you (could get ASCI art porn)[https://www.asciipr0n.com/]. Girlfriend simulators What about girlfriend simulators? That is a real thing especially in Japan. we talk about what they are and Andrew explains what one is like. Then things take a turn for the more strange and we talk about the weird pigeon girlfriend simulator We muse on what an English girlfirend simulator would be like... Cups of tea, hard nips, and drizzle is the conclusion. Other cultures have a huge effect on sex, but why don't we

This is based on our article this week called Erotic audio (https://kinkcraft.co/2016/07/erotic-audio/) by Victoria Blisse (https://twitter.com/victoriablisse) When you think of erotica audio isn't the first thing that springs to mind. Books and art are the first things we think of, but why not? Find out why. Erotic audio can take many forms. It can be stories you find online, listen to other people reading. Or it can be stories you speak to someone else or even record for them.
