This is an author site for Selena Kitt, who has written quite a bit of erotic fiction (and been the recipient of multiple Literotica People's Choice awards). This site has bio information, as well as an active blog and yahoogroup link. Her book section shows all the covers of her work, and each cover links to a store offsite that includes excerpts and purchase info. She has a "Free Reads" section as well, and it includes free books and .99 specials. In order to receive the free books, you have to join the eXcessica yahoogroup. A straightforward author site that links to all pertinent information! - Vamp

This site is for folks interested in cybersex (or for those who have always wondered what kind of conversations people have while cybering). It is the brainchild of a self-identified HIV positive woman named WildHoney, who found new freedom in cybersex after her diagnosis. She has a few brief essays on why and how people cyber, and what not to do while having virtual sex. An example of her advice is, "...[T]here is no such thing as honesty in a chat room. Ever. You need to go into the rooms knowing that up front." In addition to this material, she shares over 50 chat sessions on different topics (although most are heterosexual in nature). It was fascinating to read how those sessions unfolded verbatim, sort of like a form of intellectual voyeurism. She links to Chatropolis, just in case you are inspired to go try it yourself. There are also a few affiliate galleries of pictures, and some HIV info from the CDC. A charming little labor of love, and a titillating read that might inspire you to try cybering. My only caveat? Some of the links are blind, even though they are not intentionally misleading or problematic. - Vamp

Dionne Galace is an author of erotic romance books, reviewer, and funny as all get out! This website gives a brief bio on the author, excerpts of her books, links to where to purchase, and even offers a couple of free stories. The lion's share of the site, however, is really devoted to reviews of romance novels. Dionne has been writing these reviews since 2005, so she has quite a collection. They are organized chronologically in a blog, but you can sort them by grade and genre as well. Here is an example of her tone: "Have you ever wondered what the Lion King would have been like if it had some sex in it? Have you ever thought to yourself, 'Man, you know what the Lion King was missing? Hot sex. And lesbians. And dudes having sex with each other. How about some of that?'" She has a very witty and irreverent style that I found quite refreshing. In another section of the site called "Cover Snark", she posts pictures of romance novel covers and creates fake blurbs inspired by the art and title. This was a lot of fun to read. She is the Mystery Science Theater 3000 of romance! - Vamp

This is a website for the work of authors Vivien Dean and Pepper Espinoza, who collaboratively write under the name Jamie Craig. They have produced a large body of work under that pen name, and they organize all of it by genre here. They are responsible for The Master Chronicles (vampire/human erotica) and The Calendar Boys (gay erotic novellas), as well as other tales of gay and heterosexual erotic romance. The authors describe each book, supply excerpts, and have links to where to purchase them. There is also a brief bio section, and links to their Livejournal and Twitter accounts. If you are already a fan, you will also want to check out the free bonus chapters on the site. Well organized and well done! - Vamp

What a delight! This professional organization for artists working in the erotic genre has a website brimming with intellectual and visual experiences. The navigation is very simple and understated, but the art showcased is extraordinary. The member list shows a small selection of work by each artist, and links to where further work can be viewed. There is erotic art by photographers, painters/illustrators, writers, sculptors, and others. I could have spent a great deal of time just getting lost in that, as the members are all quite talented. The articles section is just as tasty, as well as practical. They offer a free information packet for people considering modeling for erotic art, as well as articles on topics such as interacting with models during photo shoots, lighting erotic subjects, and essays on aesthetics. There is also an honest review section that covers artists, literature, and DVDs. If that wasn't enough incentive to visit, they also offer a couple beautiful free ezines, wallpapers, and pda themes. I highly recommend this site. It is a must see for photographers and artists. - Vamp

Silkenvoice is the woman behind AudioSensual (a site that I gave a Vamp's Pick back in 2009). She describes herself as a, "...Bisexual polyamorous female who is also a massage therapist, sexological bodyworker, ordained minister, domme, and published author." This blog contains some of her sizzling erotica, and also quite a few posts about her life and struggles (such as dealing with her sister's fight with cancer). I always appreciate it when an artist gives me a bit of a peek behind the curtain. Here is an example of her style, "Love is a noun and a verb. Something I am, and something I do. It fills me even now, brimming between my thighs. And it smells wonderful. Yes, love has a scent. A potent, unmistakable fragrance." Well written, sexy, and real. - Vamp

This great little publisher offers original erotic ebooks and books in print. They cover a wide variety of genres including alternate history, GLBT, Westerns, Science Fiction, and Mainstream romance. You can browse the books by genre or author, and most of the ebooks run between $1.99 - $6.99. The site has a content rating system that runs from sensual mainstream romance to dark and sadistic, so you can quickly find books at your own comfort level. Books are also rated by length, with the smallest coming in under 80 pages to the largest at over 400. The customer service and contact info is good, and includes a physical address for the business (but no phone number). You are able to download your purchase right after the transaction in many formats including Mobipocket, Hiebook, Microsoft Ebook, html, Gemstar, Adobe Reader, and Palm. One of the coolest things about this publisher is that they have a "Mojocastle Bookshelf" feature that is a virtual library space for your ebooks. Once you buy from them, your books are always available to you 24/7 in multiple formats for up to 30 years after purchase date. Neat! A few books are now available in traditional print format as well, and most are easy to purchase through Amazon. A wonderful publisher of unusual erotica for the adventurous reader. - Vamp

"Audio Orgasm is the sexually charged sound source for the aurally inclined female." Well, it certainly is! "The Host" of the site is a passionate Australian man who offers tons of free samples of his audio talents in the form of stories, guided masturbation, experimental sound files (like poetry), and an orgasm diary (in which he shares the sound of his own sex life). I downloaded some of the free files and was blown away by how he managed to balance explicit content, perfect diction, and obvious signs of his own arousal in performing. He also offers completely personalized erotica, so you can hear him say your name and describe your preferred situation or body type. All payment is made through Alertpay and is in Australian Dollars, and MP3 files are delivered after 48 hours. Some of the terms and conditions are listed, and there is an email address for questions or contact. I would have liked a bit more information about what to expect in terms of delivery, and would encourage you to ask this question before ordering. That said, this is a wonderful little treasure trove of free audio and original erotica for discerning listeners. I was really impressed with the quality of the work, and especially enjoyed the orgasm diary! I was hooked immediately. - Vamp » More Info!

The main attraction here is the access to Pornholio, AEBN, Matrix, Holio, and Members Channel feeds. I can't verify whether there are 10,000 movies between all of those sites, but there are definitely more than I was willing to spend my time counting. Although "Young and Nude" brought to mind a bunch of teen content for me, I didn't see that this site was weighted towards that at all. It is a combination of hardcore straight, gay, and fetish content. The photos section has images in 36 categories, but when you click on the gallery you'll find a bunch of labels like "j114-002.jpg" rather than the image itself. When you click on it, you don't know what you'll get. I found most of the images that I sampled at random were of various quality, time period, and size. The stories that were promised were just as disappointing. I counted just over fifty, and some of them would have been best described as paragraphs. The cams section is a link to a bunch of webcam sites (such as cams.com), and if you want to chat with those women personally you'll have to pay. The free mobile content is all through xobile, and it requires supplying that company with your phone number. I felt their offers of cams and high quality photo sets were misleading, and the preview didn't make it clear what feeds were inside. All the feeds are definitely worth the money and were functioning, however. So, it was too bad they weren't clearer. Cancellation and contact info was easy to find, and billing support is through iBill. - Vamp

This site was a refreshing change of pace from the constant stream of sex blogs that come through our queue. Instead of daily life tidbits and sextoy reviews (which has become the standard these days for sexblogs), this blog is two things: erotic stories and cocktail recipes. Love it. Most of the stories are penned by site owner Penny, but she features guest writers as well. At the end of each story, a titillatingly named cocktail recipe. Not for teetotalers or prudes. :) -Jane

xxxStoryxxx.com archives a few hundred sexy stories written by scores of active members. These are divided into standard categories such as anal, fetish and roleplay, but dig a bit deeper and you'll find less common categories like rape fantasy, non-human and EXTREME HARDCORE! That final category intrigues me; let's take a closer look. In extreme hardcore you'll find fantasies about bestiality, incest and forced cross-dressing. Yup, that's extreme alright! Overall the quality of these stories is pretty typical for amateur content. The writer and prissy lil' grammarian in me was neither terribly impressed nor horrified. You'll need to create an account to access all site features. This should be a be no more than a five-minute process, but the site's color scheme made it really difficult for me to fill out the entire form. The webmaster needs to have a look at this, stat, as it may be holding back people from joining the site. Even signed in there were some site functions I could not access. I'm not sure if this was a bug or if those sections were simply empty. Also find a forum, images, and products for purchase. --aag

EroticaRepublic.com features free sexy stories in a variety of formats for your reading -- and fapping -- pleasure. Read them online, or download PDF, ePub or MobiPocket versions. You'll need to sign up for a free account for any option other than the first. Stories are grouped into gay, straight and lesbian, then further subdivided into categories such as incest, group sex, celebrity and masturbation. If that's not enough categorization you can explore the quite thorough tagging system, sort by user ratings, or read quick summaries before diving into individual stories. Whew! If you're more of an erotica writer than an erotica reader, sign up to submit stories to the site. You'll receive the warm fuzzy glow of recognition and perhaps a paycheck. Site revenues are split between administrators and authors; earn a bigger chunk of the proceeds by receiving positive ratings and lots of page views. This payment method is supported by advertising, but it's of a pretty low-key nature. Banner and text ads show up on most pages but you won't find annoying pop-ups, pop-unders, peel-backs or those abhorrent naked dancing girls from a dating site which shall go unnamed. There's plenty of content here to keep you happily reading for weeks and weeks. Check it out.

This site offers a wide variety of free erotic stories of varying qualities and lengths. They are grouped by categories like anal, fetish, and group sex. It is free to publish a story here, and people can leave comments and rate content. The site has clear writer's guidelines and legal info, but the contact info is form only. They do not accept stories that feature underage people, rape, abusive situations, graphic violence, unwilling participants, drugging, dangerous sexual acts, suicide, death, or animals. In addition to the story archive, they offer some sex advice and news. A pretty nice free story site, even if the content really didn't ring my bell. - Vamp

Everyone's got a sex story to tell, whether it's about the time the roommate walked in during your wank session or the time two hotties propositioned you in the produce aisle. Why not set down those stories for posterity in the forums at TrueSexStories.org? Here you'll find a small but active community of pervs who write about their true, legal encounters and then respond to the same. Stories are divided into categories such as voyeur, college, incredible luck, swapping, ethnic and mature. They are of amateur quality; don't bother reading if you're a frustrated grammarian. Nevertheless, it's fun to browse through other folk's adventures and even consider adding some of your own. --aag

Ella Regina is an erotica writer that writes fairly long, incredibly detailed stories that paint rich visuals. Unlike a large majority of internet erotic writers, Ella's stuff is not all based off of personal experience, but rather, features a variety of characters, scenarios and more. Sadly, Words Worth 1,000 Pictures is not updated very often - there are only 27 posts for the entire life of the blog, which has been around since September 2007. I enjoy the erotica that is there, but wish there was more...a lot more. Perhaps the future will bring more regular posting. - EssinEm

Erotica writers Georga, Scott and Diamond intended to use PornWench.com as a way to promote their stories. Unfortunately they've not been able to add much content in the months since they submitted the site to Jane's Guide. Several stories and but a handful of blog entries seem to be the main attraction right now. There is, however, a link to more of their work on another site. Click it, you're invited, and put $0.03 straight in the authors' pocket. I've never seen an announcement so, er, straightforward before, and frankly it leaves me with kind of an icky feeling. Group blogs are a great idea but hard to maintain. Georga, Scott and Diamond, give us more! --aag

TheNaughtyAmerican.com features reader-submitted stories detailing the "naughty" nature of their own personal states. The stories are, as you might expect, a typical medley of the immature, the poorly-written, the obviously fantastical, and the highly illegal. Nevertheless, some are entertaining, when they aren't skin-crawlingly repulsive. If you tire of sex stories, you can check out the editors' blog, which features a selection of dirty pictures, or create a submission of your own. Go click on your own state and see what smutty gems you can find! --aag
