I think I’ve known about indie model Ariel Rebel (arielrebelunplugged.com) for a little while, but until she messaged me on Twitter last week I hadn’t taken the time to really check her out. And when I saw how sexy she really is inside and out, I really checked her out. She’s 25 and looks so young I could imagine uptight anti-porners taking a look at her and going all crazy thinking she’s “barely legal” when in fact she just looks like she takes care of herself. I love that Rebel went from camgirl to building her own empire with her model pals and took it upon herself to hire someone to build out her site — one that offers so much daily free content and social media it’s almost hard to see what the “sell” is. I love that! I also love that she’s fairly geeky, natively speaks French, and manages to make softcore *incredibly* dirty. I’ve been lurking around her online presence for a little bit now, and I definitely have a crush.
Disclosure: Rebel asked me for a “link trade” and I’ve stuck with my policy (since 2001!) of no link trades; but I could not resist doing a feature on such an amazing model and thoroughly self-defined woman, and I’ll probably add her to my links page.
Richard Kadrey has long been a photographic staple accompanying posts here, and it’s a testament to the exacting quality and mystical iconic imagery of his mind-blowing erotic fetish photography. He is also a friend, but that doesn’t stop me from occasionally having my jaw land in my lap out of astonishment when I see a particularly vivid and shocking public shot he got in downtown San Francisco, or a compellingly dark and rawly explicit fetish scenario taken to imagination’s limits in what can only be described as murderously vivid color. Likely in a local hotel room, with a subject plucked from behind a nearby espresso machine. You get the idea. Something amazing happens here.
He just revamped his site and his new work is at Kaos Beuty Klinik. Be warned: is is by no means for the faint of heart.
For starters, I don’t know how to title this post without it turning into an unintentional Polish joke (sorry!). Next, while Sociological Images found this to be sexist and offensive, I absolutely 100% can not jiggle and rub and prod the models’ onscreen boobies with my mouse without grinning and giggling like a happy dork. Remove me from the politically correct pool (my water wings were deflating anyway) because I find the Polish “breast exam” for breast cancer awareness via mouse manipulation (erotyka.wp.pl) to be way too much fun. Try it! Oh, and if you get the age check it’s the one on the right; there are three jiggle-able images and the last one is an empty click bait/switch with no nudity. (tip: Praemedia)
With the great news that the Amazon Kindle is now cheaper and that it’s now available for Android FREE, I updated my VB List: Favorite Things widget to be a Kink Your Kindle feature. It’s a great excuse for me to showcase more sex books for the Kindle, and especially ones I think you might not know are available. I was disappointed that I couldn’t add Janine Ashbless‘ book Dark Enchantment to the widget, as she’s one of the hands-down masters of erotic writing — most especially with fantasy flavors, fetish accessories and vampiric themes. Normally I dislike erotica with these themes and find it so cheesy I can’t get away fast enough. Yet when I read her first collection Cruel Enchantment I couldn’t get enough. If you like geeky nerdy things that live in the fantasy/horror twilight *and* explicit sex that is somehow believable and unpredictable, you’ll love her collections as much as I do.
Other books featured on my highly-recommended “Kink Your Kindle” erotic books list:
Lucky 13: Thirteen Tales of Getting Lucky Author Sommer Marsden is a writer I consider to be one of the top storytellers in the erotica genre, and she’s just getting started. She is one I’m watching closely. This collection is 13 of her hits, and highly recommended.
And two top picks from my catalog: Sweet Love: Erotic Fantasies for Couples (anthology) because it recently won the Gold medal for erotica 2010 at the IPPY’s, and a book I’m especially wishing every girl could have, The Smart Girl’s Guide to the G-Spot. When I give that book to friends, they really thank me. Like, a lot. It’s a quiet winner.

* I still don’t have a Kindle; maybe I should put it on my wishlist considering how many Kindle books I have now :)
If you scan tech news, you may have already seen these. Two Monday highlights:
* When Jobs made the FaceTime announcement I got about a dozen emails from people about how this would be the new porning of the Apple line. You were oh so right, as yesterday one tech blog not shockingly came across a Craigslist jobs post for FaceTime camgirls (hey it’s a free iPhone 4) and the beginning of a new porn genre. (businessinsider.com, newyork.craigslist.org, icammodel.com)
* I blogged a bit last week about the .XXX domain getting pushed through by ICANN and Wired’s Ryan Singel has an interesting angle on it — like the rest of us, he thinks it’ll be a non-event. I spent the better part of my weekend working on my book deadlines and researching the .XXX people, so expect a feature from me with surprises on this near the ned of this week. (wired.com)

I really want to play this game! Privates is set to be a 3D twin-stick shooter game where players are part of a condom-helmetted troop of microscopic British-accented Marines who have to invade and wage war against all manner of STDs and STIs — in all the places one might find these enemy invaders. They just released the game trailer (above) last week and it looks really slick and really funny. Well done, Zombie Cow Studios! Privates was announced in early May and isn’t out yet, but it will be available for PC and Xbox360 download. Here’s their press release, and a little PR snip:
That’s right! Zombie Cow Studios is proud to announce we’ve gone all futuristic and 3D with Privates, a funky little game about tiny little condom-hatted marines going right up peoples’ rude areas and shooting all the nasty chompy things that tend to live there if you’ve been carelessly putting bits of yourself in silly places.
(…) There’s more to come very soon, including trailers and screenshots of the unpleasantly-brown levels. You know why. (…read more, zombie-cow.com, via hiohmegan)
Another installment in Pride weekend fun: the psychology of fag hags.
I'm a girl with a lot of gay male friends, yet I've managed to not get painted with the "fag hag" brush. To my face, anyway. I don't know why it feels this way, but I've been relieved on occasion […]
If you live in the UK then you've likely seen this Twingo ad several times, but for those of us here in SF -- on Gay Pride weekend -- it's novel, sweet, funny and all kinds of awesome.
I've been writing sexy, San Francisco weekend Pride guides for five years now, and I'm glad to be of service! I know The City (I'm a native), understand the venues and dynamics, am tapped into the LGBTQ and sex scenes, I know where to get cheap sex toys and 24-hour […]
Okay, not all of this is in 3D. But I can't help wishing that Sky (above) was in 3D. That woman is so hot I might as well stop this post right here. I won't, but I want one.
PGF highlights this week include:
In 3D -- David Nudes (of the sleek […]
FOX Goggles is going to be a new feature here on Tiny Nibbles: it's shorthand for when a story about sex in culture hits corporate news media and gets spun wildly, often falsely, out of proportion to the point of misleading the public. It happens quite a bit: remember when […]
* It doesn't matter how you felt about the idea of .xxx domains for porn sites -- tomorrow ICANN is making their decision, and all signs point to yes. They're saying it won't be made "mandatory" for websites. Not sure how they'd enforce that one, anyway. With all the hysteria […]
My #1 new favorite blog for ogling sexy guys is all hot men -- I think you will join my standing ovation at the curation whether it's with both hands, one hand, your flippers, or quietly with Zen porn mastery. They do blog post link updates as @allhotmen on Twitter. […]
Worth a look: Fashion Gone Rogue has the whole gallery of Ali Mahdavi & The Girls of Crazy Horse by Ellen von Unwerth for Tank Summer 2010 (fashiongonerogue.com). It defies description, and I think it's just a treat. So playful, so sexy and so strange.
I love how Mind Hacks tells us that psychologist Jesse Bering's article about masturbation "has ick and wow in equal measure" -- but also calls it "absolutely remarkable." And that it is. Bering writes for Scientific American, and is one of those writers whose genius lies in being able to […]
Seeing as the subject of women watching porn is a hot topic right now (again), it's fitting for me to point you toward The Female Gaze, a film competition from woman-owned, porn-for-women site For The Girls. It's not just about women watching, it's about what they're making for the enjoyment […]
* I realized that I'd better do this post ASAP when I saw that GILT was not only having a sale on some sexy Kiki de Montparnasse lingerie (re: image above), but that the sale ends tomorrow June 22 at 9PM PDT! Get in!
* Big thanks to Babeland for continued […]
My friend KumiMonster is doing a hyooge European tour right now; international bondage model, performance artist and official Fetish Muse, she spends most of her time modeling in places all over the world (and watching MotoGP races and eating BBQ). Yes, it sounds rough. She is one of the craziest, […]
Full disclosure: Babeland is one of my sponsors, but this post is editorial content of my own excitement. I just think that their June feature Sex Toys For Men: How to Choose is really fantastic. Finally, a handy shopping guide for guys (and with the insanely popular Tenga products, very […]
Our pretty girl friday today is Ludo from I Feel Myself, the incredible women-run porn empire from Australia. I noticed their front page has a lot of new videos up featuring some really gorgeous women I hadn't seen before, and for fun I put a gallery of Ludo after the […]
