Remember the PerfectFlex ladies who are on CyDy from time to time? This site was promoted to me as having a gallery of erotic contortionist photos…but it appears to all be in Japanese, so I’m not sure what’s going on here! There’s also this gallery of weird stuff found in Japanese sex shops. Thanks to [...]

David Crary has written an article for the Associated Press called Gender gap divides U.S. gays, lesbians. It’s a really good article, go check it out. (BTW, I have updated this site to Movable Type 3.2 – let me know if anything looks funky.)

Supreme Court Will Consider Parental Rights for Former Lesbian Couple This is notable primarily because it’s in Utah. However it also points out that lesbians can be just as hasty as straight people when it comes to rushing into things. Gays Disappear From Network TV Unfortunately this isn’t particularly enlightening as there are no titles [...]

Here is a fun slideshow of gay-themed pulp novel covers, from 1971′s “Some Are That Way” to 1952′s “Warped Desire.” If you like this collection, check out Jaye Zimet’s book Strange Sisters on the same subject, and see also PulpCards.com.

Interesting admission: Britain’s Royal Air Force kept records on suspected lesbians during the 20th century. Radclyffe Hall, the famous author of The Well of Loneliness, was one of the earlier targets; in 1920 she was nearly charged with “obscene libel and corruption of minors.” The record-keeping continued all the way through to the 1990s.

Intended as an in-your-face rebuttal of the concept of femme invisibility, the book features fiction, photographs, poetry, and essays. This is a [...]

There’s a new update at Sappho’s Girls that features more sepia-toned “vintage” erotica. The star this time is Veronica, and while the pictures don’t quite look vintage to me, there is definitely a “frozen in time” feeling to them. I don’t recognize Veronica – I don’t think we’ve seen her before, at least I haven’t [...]

This weekend brings another Makaio update from Serafina Sox! She does some cute solo posing in the yellow room again, this time wearing light blue thigh-highs with little bows on the top edge. Her hair is beautifully highlighted, but it’s so perfect I’m wondering if it might be a wig! It looks great…I’m just not [...]

So am I the absolute last person to realize that Toys in Babeland has changed their name and is now simply called Babeland? And that they’ve been selling their products through Amazon for more than a year? Holy crap. I’m honestly not sure how I feel about this. Will my Toys in Babeland t-shirt become [...]
