Last week I reviewed the new erotica for women book Dirty Girls for For The Girls. In a previous post I expressed concern at the cliquey comments on the back, but I’m pleased to say that the inside is fabulous. Don’t judge a book by its cover!
The collection is chock full of naughty sexual adventures [...]
Writers! Please! This is a call for more submissions to For The Girls - both to our regular erotic fiction and Wicked Ways sections and also our erotic story contest.
I realise that it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere and that you guys are probably more interesting in BBQs and swimming and not doing a [...]
It’s June again and that means that it’s For The Girls‘ birthday!
Way back in the mists of time - June 2003 - my friend Jane and I launched our little-porn-site-that-could. We gathered together all our favourite dirty pics and movies, and I collected a whole bunch of my articles and columns, and off we went. [...]
It seems that the canon of women’s literary erotica is growing, and that’s a good thing.
The latest book release is Dirty Girls, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussell. I received my review copy the other day but I haven’t had much of a chance to read it. The few stories I have read have been amazing, [...]
Amazon has gone a little beserk and printed a large chunk of Susie Bright’s introduction to Best American Erotica 2008 on their site. Not that I’m complaining, of course, because it makes for great reading. A snippet:
Nowadays, I don’t think there’re mainstream novelists who haven’t been asked what role sexuality plays in their fiction — [...]
Here’s another book chock full of lusty reading if you’re in the mood to stimulate your imagination. I like this one because it’s really all about straight-out fantasy, and it’s always hot to read what gets other women off.
Official blurb: The Mammoth Book of Women’s Fantasies is the newest addition to the lustily successful Mammoth [...]
Violet Blue has posted her call for submissions for Best Women’s Erotica 2009. The deadline is 1st May 2009 and the guidelines look pretty similar to last year.
I really liked what Violet had to write about creating a top quality erotica collection that reflects women:
Let’s give women readers what they really want (as sales have [...]
Here it is, smutty reading for those who are short on time. Like all good quickies it’s short and hot!
The official blurb: Everyone loves a quickie. A breathless, clothes-in-a-heap romp or a naughty tease before the elevator doors slide open. Even better when it’s a quick sex story you can read again and again. [...]
The latest Best Women’s Erotica book is out, once again edited by Violet Blue. I haven’t had a chance to read it but here’s the official blurb:
Best Women’s Erotica 2008 delivers risky, romantic, heart-pounding thrills. Joyful, daring, and authentic, these 21 steamy stories revel in erotic adventure, from the sparks between strangers to the knowing [...]
I’m re-reading one of my favorite books at the moment: Kushiel’s Dart. It’s a fantasy novel set in an alternative Renaissance Europe - one with a different history and set of religions. The cool part is that on top of all the swashbuckling adventure, intrigue and romance, there’s lashings of down-and-dirty BDSM sex. The heroine [...]
Browsing Amazon I discovered a book of erotic fiction that’s piqued my interest. Enchanted: Erotic Bedtime Stories for Women, by Nancy Madore, takes 13 standard fairy tales and gives them a dirty twist. Think threesomes with Snow White, Prince Charming and a maid, or lusty liaisons between Beauty and the Beast.
Now, there’s something about the [...]
Well folks, the winners have been announced in the For The Girls short story competition.
WINNER
Kindling For The Flame by J.D. Sampson
Judge’s comments: There’s a bittersweet tone to this wonderfully written story which depicts a woman’s first time on the beach with her husband-to-be. The language perfectly invokes the moment and allows the reader to [...]

The theme is discovery. Stories need to be a maximum of 2000 words in length.

I just had to laugh at the opinion piece by Shaunti Feldhahn proclaiming the serious dangers women face if they read romance novels.
I was concerned to learn that many romance novels are not as harmless as they look. In fact, some marriage therapists caution that women can become as dangerously unbalanced by these books’ entrancing [...]
Nouse Magazine has an article about women making money from sex - lingerie, sex therapy and erotic writing.
Featured is Emily Dubberley, creator of Cliterati and editor of Scarlet Magazine, the UK womens mag that features a lot of erotic fiction.
“I was pissed off and thought that there should be some out there. I chatted to [...]
I had things to do this morning. Instead, I wasted time mucking about on MySpace, doing that thing where you jump from a friend to their friend to their friends… and hitting “add to friends.”
Anyway, thanks to this meandering I found an online magazine called SheVibe. This site looks gorgeous and it has some interesting [...]
Just a quickie - the lovely Gwen Masters is having her own short story contest. Each story needs to be short and steamy, and it has to use a prescribed first paragraph about hurtling along a road in a very fast car.
Gwen won last years FTG erotic fiction contest and is a columnist and regular [...]
To celebrate our 4th birthday, For The Girls (FTG) is conducting our third erotic fiction competition. Our aim is to uncover more great examples of sexy writing created expressly for women.
This year’s theme is discovery. It’s a broad theme that can encompass exploration, experimentation, invention, realisation, breaking new ground, and uncovering secrets.
The competition will run [...]
I was honoured to be asked to take part in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s kinky virtual book tour for her two erotic anthologies She’s On Top and He’s On Top. When asked which book I’d prefer, I went with the latter, perhaps because - vanilla chick that I am - I’m really a sub at heart. [...]
Simone took several deep breaths of the cool night air with satisfaction. The stars were out, and the night was unusually warm. Crickets chirped conspiratorially, sharing their own secrets, oblivious to the human intruders in their midst.
Surprisingly for this time of year, they were alone at the campsite. It was just her and Gavin, both [...]
Cream turns me on.
Luscious, smooth, thick, thick cream. Dollops of it. Bowlfuls of it, oozing, running, flowing. A lusty indulgence, a sinful luxury in a non-fat, low-carb, asparatame-flavored world, a plethora of tasty sensuality poured out and consumed hungrily.
Even the word cream is lustrous. It lives quietly in the mouth, a breathy utterance that ends [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
I don’t actually do much with it. Everyday is Valentine’s for me and my husband. And I can never think of anything decent to give him anyway. It is, of course, a fine excuse to drink champagne, and I’ll be doing quite a bit of that today.
OK, so here’s a bit of [...]

Audio books are becoming increasingly popular, according to this report, and sex is a popular topic.
When Audible started nine years ago, “porn” and “sex” were popular Web search terms, even more so than now. So as an Internet company, Audible chose to offer racy titles. It now has hundreds of briskly selling erotica offerings, most [...]
