Actually it’s been over a year. My surprisingly long — and apparently ongoing — period of celibacy has been partly by choice, and partly by chance. When my last relationship ended, it was as difficult as you’d expect a major break-up to be. I wanted to take some time to work on myself, my apartment,…

Five ways Bally’s is like The Shining
This isn’t a sex related post, so feel free to skip this one and rest happy knowing we’ll be back to our irregularly scheduled sex culture fascinations after this post. (You can always enjoy my new cyberpunk erotica collection in the interim.) While covering two information security conferences for work in Las Vegas last weekend,…
What happened at the Dyke March today
So, every year here in San Francisco on the day before the parade, there’s the Dyke March and Pink Saturday. There’s a lot of important history behind both of those things, and I recommend investigating them beyond this post. Every year, I go to both, which is pretty easy to do because the Dyke March…
All new site design, the release of Bent, and 15 years of sex-positivity online
You’re looking at a completely new TinyNibbles! New design, evolved style, refined topics, faster everything, mobile prettiness, and better security (with a few more added security features wrapping up as I write this). As much as I hated not posting here for a week, now you know what’s been keeping me so busy. Working on…
Murder Your Kindle
This isn’t a sex-related post, but it does fit here in the same vein as the Kink Your Kindle posts I do every few months. I was chatting on Twitter with someone in my ongoing quest to find new horror and crime books to read, and they suggested I make a list of what I’ve…

Call for Submissions: Best Women’s Erotica 2015
The official call for Best Women’s Erotica 2015 submissions is now open. I’m looking for the best erotic short stories written by women for the 2015 edition of the leading series for explicit women’s literature. The window for submissions get tighter each year, due to the level of competition and quality: I’m proud to say…
Rainy day excerpt: Best Women’s Erotica 2014
I hope those of you who have read my new book are enjoying it, and each of its vivid, arousing, and complex time-capsule stories. But if you haven’t picked up or borrowed a copy of Best Women’s Erotica 2014, I hope you do and that you love it as much as I continue to, three…
Celebrating Carlos Batts – Vigil, Funeral and Donations
“As an artist I am supposed to push the boundaries, ask questions, inspire the audience and introduce different ethnicities and in a whole new way. I think my films are artistic because I use sound, mood, atmosphere, lighting, wardrobe and talent to tell the story — not just body parts or sex scenes. My creative…
Flickr has threatened to terminate my account
