Thoughts & Advice on Sex & Relationships

Tantric Sexual Healing, The Intersection of Sacred Sex and Kink in Tantric Philosophy. A look at how both practices embrace the sacred through the deliberate exploration of dualities—light/dark, control/surrender, and pain/pleasure.

Modesty Ablaze, 50 Sexy Questions – 1 to 5. Mistress Modesty answers:

  1. How do you define awesome sex?
  2. How do you feel about public displays of affection (PDA)?
  3. What are your sure-fire turn-ons and/or turn-offs??
  4. What do you think about when you masturbate?
  5. What are your thoughts about porn?

SexToyDB, Is Squirting The Same as Peeing? My entry to this month’s Elust. Such an emotive topic, but the science is pretty conclusive: it’s the same as pee. But it also refills and dilutes quickly during stimulation, making it not pee. OMG, THAT’S NOT CONCLUSIVE AT ALL.

Cara Sutra, Guide To Prostate Milking & The Health Benefits Of P-Spot Stimulation. Everyone needs a good finger up their bum, sometimes. Cara explains the ins and outs (ahem) of prostate stimulation: the what, the why, and the how.

Erotic Fiction

Fern River Cub, Luc sits for Asami (Part 1). You know that any adventure that starts with “Please abstain from orgasm for three days prior” is going to be good! New stories drop every Friday. 

Schey Place Books, Erotica with Substance. A repost of Ghosts of Timor review by Sheri Hoyte for Reader Views

Simone Francis, Bondage Violation. A delightfully illustrated story.

Jerusalem Mortimer, In the Realm of the Sensei – Prologue 5. I don’t remember the English classes I taught in Japan going quite like this, but I challenge you to make it to the end of this story without dropping your pants. For anyone curious about the title of this piece, it’s a play on “In the Realm of the Senses”, a Japanese pink movie from 1976 loosely based on the true story of Sada Abe, and well worth watching.

Sex News, Opinion, Interviews, Politics & Humor

Ramone Quides, Time to Celebrate the Holiday Season. I usually skip the carols and usual dirge of xmas music, but if we’re allowed to sing these lyrics…

Product Reviews

Morgan Destera, TOY TEST – Twisted Beast “The Serpent”. Twisted Beast are Indy-toy makers of satanic-themed glorious beastly cocks, and the Serpent is their signature depth-trainer. Morgan finds out the length is tricky to handle, as is the lack of suction cup.

Liz X, Leten Insulated Cabin Telescopic Heating Male Masturbator Review. Bonus for looking like a coffee mug, but I don’t recommend asking them to refill it in Starbucks.

Miss Ruby Reviews, Womanizer Vibe. Womanizer are known for their fantastic air-pulse toys. Which is why it’s especially odd they’re now doing vibrators too. And not very good ones by the sounds of it.

Erotic Non Fiction

Kristina J, The Power Manifesto: How I Own My Life as a Sex Worker. A counter-narrative to the usual bullshit that sex workers are just folk desperate for another hit, or abused as children and seeking validation. “My life. My body. My choice.”, Kristina explains. 

Awakening Your Inner Essence, The Alchemy of Surrender and Activation. Exploring the transformative balance between masculine and feminine energies, emphasizing how surrender (feminine) and activation (masculine) work together to create harmony.

Femina Viva, Tripping the life fantastic: real life is wilder than any book I’ve ever read. Femina reflects on a transformative year of profound life changes, serendipity, and self-expression.

barefoot sub, Belated Birthday Beatings. Warning: while you might expect naked stuff on this list, there’s an image of post-beating bruises here. An intensely personal and joyful experience of impact play among trusted friends.

Sex Work

Sex Worker Search, Interview with Cory Doctorow. Disenshittification of the Internet for Sex Workers. Oz scores an interview with the guy who invented the term Enshittification (to describe the gradual worsening of web services) to talk about, well, a shit-ton of stuff. This is a really long read and I won’t delve into it all yet, but I know it’ll be worth it when I do. Oz also mentions Kagi, a paid search engine, as a better alternative to Google—but I’d have to disagree. A few of my usual test searches showed completely irrelvant results, while the only relevant result from a site using parasitic SEO to rank for something that have no business ranking in. Sadly, there’s a reason Google continues to dominate.

Oz Bigdownunder, A Duo with Queen Kali Rain, Makiyo and Cherry. A hilarious read about Mr S’s workplace misconduct!

Hellga, An Offering to Aphrodite. A Duo with Maîtresse Nuit and Oz. The slave gets worked over in a ritual act of submission.

Books and Movies

History of BDSM, Sanctuary (2022): The Celluloid Dungeon. Kinky movies just aren’t the same nowadays, and unfortunately, it sounds like this is one to avoid. But thanks for taking one for the team, Peter!

That’s all from Elust 180!
