Has anybody ever picked up a Damron book? Are they any good? I always want them but I could never justify the expense. The L.A. Times has an article about mainstream travel sites courting gay users, which is a phenomenon I have definitely noticed at Orbitz. Travelocity has a direct partnership with PlanetOut, too, so [...]

Just a quick heads-up tonight, because I’ve been throwing myself into genealogical research all night! If you weren’t already aware, now is a great time to get a Cyber Dyke Network membership. There’s a $5 off summer sale!

If anybody thinks life is tough for lesbians in the United States or western Europe, they should try checking out the lesbians of Nepal. Many regions and religions vilify sex between men but leave lesbianism untouched or uncondemned. In Nepal, though, society considers women to be unnatural and sick, forcing many to marry men and [...]

Cleis Press is looking for submissions for Best Sex Writing 2006. They are seeking “personal essays and reportage” and the series features exciting, arousing, and intelligent nonfiction sex writing. (After years of Best Lesbian Erotica and other annual titles, I’m glad to see a nonfiction series!) The maximum length for suubmissions is 6000 words, which [...]

A couple of articles from around the world: Japanese Legislator Comes Out At Gay Pride – Kanako Otsuji’s announcement that she is a lesbian came after she heard the stories of hardships faced by closeted Japanese.

Okay, so, the news may not be so good for gay members of the Cherokee Nation after all.

Okay, this photographer’s work is seriously cool. Bernadinism is heavy on the surreality and the fetish. My favorite gallery is the one of various spankings taken at the moment of impact using a sound-activated switch. The photo is taken just as the implement strikes the buttock, resulting in an image of what the flesh forms [...]

Here’s a fun link: bawidamann.com features a few dozen large pinup images drawn by Andrew Bawidamann, who says his pictures “offer much appeal to today’s soldiers, tattoo artists, bikers, rockers and just about anyone with a fetish!” (Pinups were especially popular with troops overseas in the mid-twentieth century.) Many of the images can be purchased, [...]

I could have sworn I had linked to this before, but apparently not! My friend bias_cut has done some modeling for That Bird’s Nest, a woman-positive alternative porn site that has just gone free. It was formerly a membership-based site, but all of the solo girls are now free, and so are the pairs! I’m [...]
