Gorgeous image by my friend Steve Diet Goedde, at (more friends!) Stockroom. Previous (non-explicit) image was deleted from Flickr, ha. I just love that the column got titled with one of my more outrageous quotes — You Don’t Have To Be Mistress Asscrusher or Worthless Buttslut To Enjoy Strap-On Sex. Co-written with Dan Savage, we…

Book Distribution In America: A Legacy of Corruption With Incalculable Costs
In my last post I mentioned the Publisher’s Group West bankruptcy issue and linked to the New York Times article about it, the Mediabistro post that provided a little explanation, and the snarky parody site, Radio Free PGW. Then I had a long talk with my publisher on the phone, and realized how serious this…
Best Women’s Erotica 2008: Call for submissions
I’m so excited: I just put a call for submissions up on the Erotica readers and Writers Association for the next erotica anthology I’m editing, Best Women’s Erotica 2008. When I took over the series a couple of years ago, I didn’t expect it to be so much fun and so successful for me. I…
The Adventurous Couple’s Guide to Sex Toys is here!
You know I got my copy early, but now it’s out! It’s here! People can buy it! A friend from Good Vibes called and told me it looks lovely on the shelves! Even more incredible, read what the esteemed Library Journal Review (!!!) says about it: “Blue, Violet. The Adventurous Couple’s Guide to Sex Toys.…

Dirty Banana
Ah — I’m back! To my delight I’ve returned to two interviews (of me) up and live, one at Adult Friend Finder and the other at Cleis Press. I’m also in the October issue of Oprah’s O Magazine, and I found out that I’ll be signing books at the Exotic Erotic Ball in a couple…
Cranky
I am cranky. I have been cranky for over a week. It’s been a lousy month at work for me, and just when I think it’s really crappy, it gets worse. Then, to top it all off, the only light of my life in the crack whore, junkie haven neighborhood that my office is in,…
Sex News: Terrible sex kits, Parliamentary porn requests, Jizz lube, Asia Adult Expo
This is one of those ‘hell of a post’ posts, that isn’t necessarily news, but you won’t want to miss it. And as a journalist who writes about sex and porn, and also bare-knuckle boxes with tech’s most influential PR departments, I think the PR reference is bracingly right on target. “(…) The kind of…
Online Semen and Robo-Sperm
Have you been buying fresh semen off the internet? “Stop that!” says the Canadian Federal government in a press release, at least if you’re doing it for reproduction — if you’re just, you know, into that, then carry on. Health Canada, the Federal Canadian health agency, “issued” the semen “release” on August 24. This was…
Yeah by Alison Tyler
“Do you ever think about fucking someone else?” He asks it quietly, casually, as if the concept has just occurred to him. His fingers trail over my hip and then move lower, so that the very tips of his fingers graze my naked pussylips. He bites hard into my bare shoulder, making me squirm, and…
