Is blogging necessary to your writer platform?

On open relationships. Still can’t make up your mind?

Scientists are reporting more girl-on-girl action.

Choosing the right kind of paddle for “play.”

From Elizabeth:

According to an article in GQ magazine,...

Retro Nog: Secrets to a Merry Little Xmas…

by Madeline Iva

What makes you love Christmas? For me it was my grandmother. She brought the x in xmas. She had a kind of classic 50′s sophisticated spirit thatlingers in my heart to this day. For her holidays were about food, drink, and making merry. When I think of the holiday season I think of her cooking, her generosity–as well as her whack tree ornaments.

In addition to grandma, a few key Christmas movies shaped my holiday ‘tude over the years.

First there was WHITE CHRISTMAS. I saw White C...

Give Me Some Of That Baboon Piss, ‘Cause I’m In The Mood For Love

By Elizabeth Shore

We’ve all heard talk about aphrodisiacs that supposedly stimulate certain nerve endings or elevate the heart rate and energy level to get the ol’ motor running, but as I mentioned in the comment section of Kiersten Hallie Krum‘s Monday blog, I’m not buying it. I’ve slurped my share of oysters, eaten plenty of chocolate, and actually really like asparagus, yet to date I’ve not seen my libido make the leap from healthy erotic writer’s imagination to nymphomaniac sex goddess de...

Sex, Food, and Love

By Liz Everly

“It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it…and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied…and it is all one.”—MFK Fisher

That MFK Fisher quote is one of my favorites. As a food writer...

Aphrodisiacs That Fail to Arouse

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

In celebration of Liz Everly’s new releaseCravings,we’re talking about cravings all week here at LadySmut. I decided to take a look at food aphrodisiacs and thus went searching for ideas, but then the same ten or fifteen items showed up in list after list and few of them anything I’d actually eat (red wine, chocolate, and whipped cream are staples, right?).

With a cherry on top

Arugula? There is nothing sexy about arugula. OK, fine, it has antioxidants that protect libid...

Seduction Served Tableside: Food Gets Sexy

By Alexa Day

On our way to Romanticon this past October, I pointed out a place called En Su Boca to my favorite road trip buddy, my mom.

“That place used to be a pornographic bookstore,” I said.

“Interesting,” she said. “Is it still?”

“No … although I guess it could be, couldn’t it? With a name like En Su Boca.”

Mom gave me the way-to-go-grasshopper look and went back to her book.

That sensual promise – in your mouth – lends itself equally to pleasures culinary and sexual. The mou...

By Liz Everly and the Lady Smut Bloggers.

Hello Sexy! Well after a week off from Sexy Saturday round-up, we are going for it this week! Have fun with our Internet wanderings.

From Liz Everly:

Wonderful blog for your reading pleasure Meg’s Musings.

Keeping it classy with which state has men with the biggest penis size.

C. Margery Kempe suggests:

Why is American television so sucky and sexist? The executives are morons.

M/M vs Gay Romance

by C. Margery Kempe

As I’m popping around doing promo for my M/M/M ménage MAN CITY: MARTIN, part of the ménage series MAN CITY, I’ve been a bit nonplussed to find so much confusion regarding ‘gay romance’ as opposed to “M/M” among readers, particularly those who don’t normally read it.

I tried to write MARTIN so the story appealed to both audiences, but it’s good to remember that there are two very different audiences for all male-romance and erotica: women who love to ready about the sexy men...

Dodging the Caveman Lapdance: Q&A with Lynne Silver–Plus A Bonus Post on Fromance!

by Madeline Iva

Lynne Silver is my new romance writer crush. She’s written a panopoly of steamy humorous erotic romances for Harlequin Spice and for Ellora’s Cave. Today she’s talking with us about gettin’ funny while gettin’ it on.

MADELINE IVA: I share your love for humorous erotic romance. How does humor play a role in your romances? And why-oh-why isn’t there more humor in erotic romance?

LYNNE SILVER: I love humor in romance because sex is funny. It’s awesome and hot, but it’s also funny, b...
