More about Cassandra. I met her about two years ago, though it seems like less—and more, at the same time. She’s become a friend, a mentor, a confidant, and someone I’m honored to know. One of the few people I open up to, Cassandra’s always has valuable advice and insights, none of the canned responses that you come to expect from “online friends”. That’s a valuable commodity in our current, technologically-enhanced society. As I found when I first started reading her blog, and as I’m sure you’ll all see, she’s an elegant, eloquent sexual advocate in both human and sexual-orientation sexuality. I know you’ll enjoy her as much as I have.

On a personal note, welcome aboard, Cassandra!

Much love,
Mercy

If there’s one thing I truly, unfailingly get off on, it’s a good sex toy. Browsing through places like Babeland, I get excited, literally aroused. In a lot of ways, it’s much better than pornography: I know that I can get what I want, when I want it (give or take the five to seven days for delivery), and it’s all mine. Manufacturers are coming up with more ways to titillate, whether it’s the range of features, ergonomic design, or forms ranging from beautiful to outré.

Steampunk makes things hotter

As vibrators go, they’re a good complement to masturbation, but not the main star when it comes to my preferred way to orgasm: via g-spot stimulation.  That’s not a con, especially since they come in so many vibrant colors and sensuous shapes, more so than the average dildo. It’s really hard not to fall in love with looks alone. I’ve seen and owned a lot of sexy looking paraphernalia, but I’ve never seen one that was so steampunk. I found the Eroscillator while on a mission to feed a burgeoning fetish for stocking porn. (Tip o’ the hat to Dungeon Place, which is where I found a review.) In true steampunk style, the Eroscillator has about a dozen attachments, a brushed-brass look—all it’s lacking are the superficial rivets to really drive the theme home—and a beautifully engineered motor.

What’s not to love?

Why is there no Steampunk Porn?

Victorian sexual repression and fetishism mixed with Edisonade machines is an incredibly heady notion. Clockwork automaton sex slaves, or torturous, endlessly reciprocating dildos. The possibilities are infinite. And I’m not alone (or completely crazy) in thinking there’s something hot about steampunk:

“There is a certain romance to any sufficiently outdated technology. Clockwork has a visceralness [sic] to it. It is hopelessly analogue in a digital world. It is obsolete excellence. The idea that Charles Babbage’s difference engine really could perform along side a modern Cray supercomputer is strangely sexy.”

As attractive as the notion seems, there was no porn, and no erotica to be found in an evening’s search.  That doesn’t mean it’s not out there, but I’m having a hell of a time finding any. I found more steam- and cyberpunk art searching for porn and sex toys than anything else. (There was all of one “sex toy”. If anyone knows of any, I’d love a link.) There were some very erotic shots by photographer Allan Amato at Steampunk Boudoir Porn.  Jake von Slatt from The Steampunk Workshop has some sexier projects going on. Even though they’re not sex toys, he does have the Complete Mechanical Womb—and a lovely tale of it’s creator, the first fictional intersex character I’ve ever encountered.  For a budding steampunk gun-fetishist, enamoring rayguns: Dr. Grordborts Infallible Aether Oscillators.

Steampunk is ripe for erotic modification, giving us a new genre of porn.

Weblins are tiny little avatars that can dance around on any browser page. You can change the look, animations, even create your own from scratch. And the best part? You can chat and interact with anyone else running their Weblin on whatever site you’re on. You can send private messages, check out their Weblin profiles (if you’re a member) and make them walk around your page.There’s a virtual currency system as well, and you can create and upload items to your shop for others to buy.

Mine’s as naked and kinky as I could make her. *sigh*

I got the link to Superdickery via my buddy Ziggy Figaro on Twitter. Bukkake Robin is one of the funnier ones I’ve seen so far.  I’ve always been a big fan of Golden and Silver Age comics, as cheesy as they are.  This site gathers the best goofy bits all together.  And who doesn’t love bukkake, anyway?

I have to say, this is a pretty fabulous service, and a lot of fun. How often will I use it? Not sure, since I’m not the most social of people. But then again, I could see myself getting hooked. Time will tell.

Years ago, I’d started writing a series of erotica-science fiction short stories, posting them here and there online.  They weren’t quite cohesive, but they followed a kind of plotless story line.  My idea lately has been to clean them up and post them on my blog, or in a separate section.  One of the complaints that I had about them, though, were that they didn’t fit cleanly into a certain genre.  While all of them had a scifi setting, not all of them were erotica.  Reading over them, though, I don’t see an easy way of making each “chapter” erotic.  I do have plans to rewrite the story line, and this time, include an actual plot.  When I’d started them–and I’d called them the Valse stories–I’d no plans to make them other than a series, loosely collected.

Abandoning the stories completely isn’t really an option.  I have this need to get them out there, to resist the death of a character I’ve created, and even come to love.  So. I’ve been toying with the idea of rewriting most of them, plucking out random scenes to fit the story.  I’m certainly a more descriptive writer than I was at the age of twenty.  But which direction should I go, erotica or scifi?  My inclination is to let it develop at it will, but what think you?

What does Twitter do? It seems so simple and lame: you text message or IM the answer to the question, “What are you doing now?” The first thing I had to ask myself was, who cares what I’m doing? The answer to that question is: no-one. So I have free rein to “post” whatever I like, no matter how jejune, without it mucking up my blog. I also get to add friends and whatnot, so I can see what they are doing. That’s the addictive part: I can indulge my obsession with frivolous ephemera. And add my own. Neat, eh?

The loss of a channel away from mainstream moronics would be incredibly saddening, but Brooke’s planning on using another room as a gathering hole: #bifemsex. Which is great, seeing as how I’m bi, a female, and like sex. The name doesn’t exclude anyone, however; I wouldn’t hang out there if it did. A number of “girl” channels have sprung up that exclude guys with friendly topics like, “* No males and no male girls, 18+ only — Do not PM without consent or be banned –”. Misandry: so lovely. Having a penis (or being caught with one, for “posers”) will get you kicked and banned from the room. More stupidity. I get it, some women want to be able to role-play with each other and don’t want to be importuned by horny men. But some of these channels are little more than male-bashing cliques whose main form of role-play is hunting down men pretending to be women. Not my thing. Cybersex, virtual sex, dirty talk: that’s my thing.

Now that I’ve vituperated a number of other chatters and their lame habits, I’m going to shamelessly promote #bifemsex: we’ve got the goods! All joking aside, though, if you are or were a regular in #cyber-lovers but didn’t get a memo or e-mail about the channel closing, here’s the skinny: #Cyber-lovers is closing. I was offered the channel, but declined. I don’t care where I hang out so much as who I hang out with. Someone else might take the channel up, though. The channel’s website is going down, too. #Bifemsex will have a new URL and site. If you registered at the old one and want to transfer membership and/or photos over to the new one, tell me and I’ll make it so. If you aren’t a member, never were, but are interested, you are welcome to check the channel out. We don’t care if you’re a straight male who hates sex, we just like chatting. Particularly about sex, cybersex, sexuality, anything that gets us aroused or intellectually stimulated. The room’s barely populated at the moment, but I figure that’ll change soon enough.

Anyway, if you just want to take a quick peek and/or you don’t have a chat client application, a very basic java client is here. Have fun!

Here’s a good example from the subject line of some spam I received today: “tube blow someone”. Eager to discover a new fellatio technique, I ran a quick search on Google. No luck. How about a tube blowjob? Nope. I did, however, find some rather interesting cocktails (pun intended) called, you guessed it, “Blowjobs“. There’s a fascinating variation called “Wrigley’s Doublemint Blowjob” and another “Blowjob” that curdles when the ingredients mix, purportedly creating an uncanny likeness in texture and appearance to a man’s cum. How awesome is that?

Just a little sample of what spammers can do for you. Isn’t it about time they gave something back to the community?
