It’s interesting to think of the ‘morning after’ as something that is shameful. Personally, I feel like it’s kind of an awesome thing – there are many good things tied to it (I’m thinking caesars and bruch). Even though we all have our fair share of what might feel like regrets, the walk of shame should, in fact, be more of a walk of accomplishment. I’m a big fan of notches in bedposts.

This week, we're so pleased to present the 2010 editions of The Best Lesbian Erotica and The Best Women's Erotica 2010 which are both excellent additions to both long running series, and The Best Sex Writing 2010 which isn't strictly erotica, but also isn't strictly un-erotic either - it is one of our favourite books in our 'brain sex' collection.

There’s some bad, bad, titles for porn out there. I know it better than a lot of people. Well, maybe if you frequent sketchy porn shops, I’m sure you’ve seen a few horrible ones indiscriminately scattered amongst the shelves. I just don’t know what appeal this holds. Obviously, it works for some people. I find it pretty disgusting. What does the title literally mean, “stop fucking me”? That’s typically not what gets viewers off. Oh well.

No, you're not going to find a link to purchase this title on our website. It's just not going to happen.  But since my job involves reviewing ALL the porn that's out there, I feel I have to share some of the worst titles with you...just so you know what you're missing :)

If you aren’t familiar with the expression, it basically means someone with an ass so sexy that it makes you cry. Get it, onions, crying… yeah. Fucking fantastic.

I might find it hard to work into my everyday vocab. Maybe I’ll try it on a stranger…

This website emailed me to suggest a link exchange, which I didn’t respond to, but found they had put www.comeasyouare.com up on their site anyway. I doubt we’re going to get much increased traffic from this exposure, but oh well. I can tell you that our values are definitely nowhere even close to being in line with theirs.

I’m also missing the whole point of this website. I’m guessing it might be some type of vessel for something else, I’m not really that internet smart. But it did provide me with a couple minutes of hilarious reading.

This one just struck me as funny. I’ve always wondered what was so attractive about women who were extremely flexible and why this was a directly sexual thing. If one is flexible, there’s immediately an undertone that points directly to how good they might be at having sex, and I’d even go so far as to say that it makes that person out to be more of a sexual object than a person that might be able to accommodate many positions. Truthfully, I’m not exactly sure how pleasurable a lot of these positions would be for either partner, but then again, I don’t necessarily identify as one that has a ‘flexibility fetish’, as you might have deduced from this post.

Whatever, it’s funny and I like it. The Bendy Broads box cover gets a thumbs up from me!

Reminiscent of some spam emails that I’m sure everyone gets with oddly placed and sometimes non-existent english words, we are treated to some awesome descriptions of the ladies that are “advertised” on www.favoritegirl.net. It may also just be a botched translation.

Some of my faves:

-“Her place is so newborn and has a clump of firm noesis already.”

-the use of the word “crapper”

-“Wow… does this teenaged countenance artful or what! Britney has these artful braces on which declare shes… meet overturned 18!”

-“Check discover the galleries beneath but if you poverty more go here.”

-“Dream buffoon is so hot…”

-“Hmmm Karenic is lethargic alright.”

Enjoy.

Snort that Cum. I’m finding it a little tough to come up with something to say about this. Maybe it’s just that there’s too much to say about it. In my mind, I’m equally appalled and intrigued, and I also find it a bit funny. Funny how? Cause the penis placed on the plate beside the blonde looks a little to me like an animal stopping at a lake to quench its thirst. I’m assuming it’s placed there to provide something for the ‘starlet’ to ‘snort’, but I don’t see it that way. And how healthy is it to put a semi-liquid (?) material up your nose? I read another porn review’s thoughts about this film (they had actually watched it), and they had mentioned that it would probably be much easier to achieve the…uhh…desired results if a straw had been employed instead of dollar bills, but let’s not get too picky here. What an industry.  

Old Enough for Porn, Too Young to Drink. Depending on where these girls are from, the casting dudes have a very narrow window in which to scout talent…In QC, AB, and MB, this phenomenon of being (legally) able to do porn and (legally) able to drink is nonexistent. But I guess they are American. Still, it’s funny. The title itself makes me think that if you’re old enough to do one, you should be old enough to do the other. Luckily I’m legal to do both.

Halloweiner: Friday the Fuckteenth. It might be a little bit off-season, but I found this gem around October of last year, and I think that it was just something about the title that I found appealed to my weird sense of humour. I mean, even parody porn titles and funny porn have titles that can still be in the least bit sexy (ok, so not in every case, but whatever). I guess they’re trying to play into the “fuck-teen” element. But Halloweiner just gets me every time. Brilliant.
