Androgeny is Hot
by Madeline Iva
Don’t you think so? I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, but I know a number of people feel uncomfortable with it.I was at a dinner the other night where this guy was talking about his son who wears pink shirts, has painted nails, but also has had a girlfriend for the last two years. Dad was not happy. If he’s gay, the dad sad, he can support him 100% and walk that walk, talk that talk. Having a son something short of gay is what is making daddio unhappy. He doesn’t know...

Is Manscaping Manly?
Hot – and hairless!
Back in 1972, Cosmopolitan magazine published a centerfold ofBurt Reynolds in his birthday suit stretched out on a bearskin rug. The photo was no less than a media sensation and was considered groundbreaking for the femalesexual revolution. After all, ladies have been strutting their naked selves for the entertainment of men for years. At last we gals had the favor returned (although, to be honest, Burt’s strategically draped arm hid the essential bit). Th...
On Writing Rituals
By Liz Everly
I recently picked up “Daily Rituals: A Guided Tour of Writer’s and Artist’s Creative Habits” by Mason Currey. 
I love these kinds of books between reading other books. (Right now, I’m writing a lot of fiction and tend not to read a lot of fiction at the point in my process.) I think it’s a good idea to reflect over your own writing or creative rituals and wonder how you might possibly change things up a bit so that creativity doesn’t get stale for you.
When I dream about my ideal w...

Nothin’ Casual About Casual Sex
by Kiersten Hallie Krum
Casual sex.
Oh sure, now I’ve got your attention.
I stumbled across this article on therichest.com—which right away should tell you something—about the most promiscuous cities in the world. Not along the lines of “Berlin, you slut,” but rather which cities are the ones whose residents are most comfortable with and most inclined toward having casual, non-romance or relationship seeking sex. The places that attract the most tourist traffic of those looking for a little bang...

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Robot Bartender
By Alexa Day
I first heard about the robotic bartender a little over a week ago. It’s a smart looking black box, not unlike the replicator on Star Trek, that dispenses a perfectly blended cocktail into a glass at the touch of a button. The robot bartender keeps track of what you’ve been drinking and how much you’ve been drinking, so it knows what to recommend for you and it knows when to cut you off. It knows all the recipes, too, and it has nothing to gain by watering down your drink while it...

Unlikable Characters
By C. Margery Kempe
There’s been a lot of discussion lately about the likabilty of charactersin the publishing world, especially female characters. Sometimes I think it’s the greatest taboo to be unlikable (although promoting yourself seems to be right up there, too).
I have been turning this over idly because one of my all-time favorite television characters is back in a second series ofThe Bridge (Bron/Broen),Saga Norén, played by Sofia Helin.
The Swedish/Danish production makes much of the lo...

Lady Smut’s Top 10 Sexiest Guys N Gals in 2013
by Madeline Iva
You hear a lot of snark about sexism in our universe, and it’s true–there are definitely some big ole nasty problems out there in our world when it comes to sexism, etc. Yet in a profoundly flawed universe I’d like to take a second to canvas the sexiness of our world in a limited way, and give props to Maxim for picking out a rather diverse group of women for their Sexiest Women and Hottest Celebrities of 2013.
Out of all the Hollywood Starlets – the talent-less line up of Pussy...

The Unfortunate Allure Of Affairs
By “The allure of affairs is that they’re not bogged down with the realities of everyday life.”
So I’m at home, indulging in one of my true guilty pleasures: the ID Channel. I really shouldn’t be watching this channel. I mean, I really shouldn’t. After all,I’ve got books to write. Deadlines to meet! Luckily my guilty pleasure hasn’t gotten out of hand. So far. I dole it out to myself a little at a time, like candy to a child, so as not to OD on it and fall into an ID Channel stu...

Readers: How Much Sex in Your Story?
By Liz Everly
Very few people in my real life know that I write sexy romances, labeled as “erotic romance.” But a few trusted souls know—one of whom told me she was shocked when she read SAFFRON NIGHTS and CRAVINGS because the books have a lot of story in them. She expected more sex, less story. Hmmm. Look at my covers…is that what they say to a potential reader? No story, lots of sex?
As a writer, I’d have to say I’d get bored quickly if all I wrote was sex scene after sex scene with not much...
