I was, of course, very excited when I heard about a zine for transmen. There are so [...]

People always call me femme, but I have never identified as femme. I’m not really so fond of the butch femme dynamic. I’m not really interested in replicating hetero relationships and gender roles. I like stockings, heels, and I have a makeup kit like a drag queen, but I also own power tools, a motorcycle [...]

I hadn’t known this before, but apparently The Whole Lesbian Sex Book is suitable for public libraries. It was written by Felice Newman, and it appeared on the shelves of a public library in Arkansas, at least until recently. It seems that some guy is outraged that his teenage sons came across a [...]

The Babeland blog has announced their final winner in the erotica contest they ran. I’m a bit disappointed to see that it went to someone who is semi-professional: Alicia Wag has been published in Clean Sheets, Best Women’s Erotica, and more.
