The Ultimate Down And Dirty Bromance – Why Ladies Love Gay Porn

By Elizabeth Shore

As we celebrate the release ofC. Margery Kempe’s Man City: Martin this week, it got me thinking about M/M love and M/M romance and eventually it turned my naughty Lady Smut thoughts to M/M porn. Super fit, hot-bodied guys doing the bump and grind with other hot-bodied guys. Any problem with that? As it turns out, for many women it’s no problem at all.

Now, obviously, that’s a strong generalization because there are woman a-plenty who poo-poo gay porn – and regular porn – the...

Five Gay Men I Lust After

By Liz Everly

I confess. Like blog sisters Alexa and Kiersten, I don’t read m/m romances. But I love C. Margery Kempe’s writing—I will read Man City: Martin. It’s odd that I don’t read m/m. After all, there are so many gay men that I lust after. In my real life, I have several guy friends who are gay—all of whom are attractive, but we’re friends, so I don’t really lust after them. But there are several gay celebs that I’d not kick out of bed should the opportunity arise. Grin. Feast your eyes...

Love and Bromance in the Air

ByKiersten Hallie Krum

I come from a family dominated by women, (my grandmother had two girls who each had two girls) so I’m endlessly entertained by the interactions of men. It’s a littlelike watching a species at play in the wild. Which is why it should surprise no one that I love me a good bromance.

While a well-used trope in pop culture today, the idea of “bromance” has been around long before it got labeled. Any good “buddy cop” movie from the 80s and on is essentially a bromance with guns...

Late to the Party? A Male/Male Confession

Sure, we know it’s Australia *now.* But once upon a time, it was Terra Incognita.

By Alexa Day

Today we at Lady Smut are kicking off our Male/Male Theme Week to celebrate the release of C. Margery Kempe’s Man City: Martin. The trouble is that I haven’t really read any male/male romance. Near-complete ignorance of a subject does not typically prevent me from writing about it, but today I’ve decided to approach things with a touch of discretion.

The truth is that I don’t really have a reason for n...

Being Thankful

Most holidays are an excuse for pretty candles!

by C. Margery Kempe

Gratitude is a good habit. The American Thanksgiving is over and everybody else’s Thursday has turned to Friday. Hanukkah continues.

If you’re working today, our sympathies. If you can stay home and relax, enjoy. If you’re lighting the candles tonight, be blessed.

And just to make you laugh:

If you have to spend money today, my publisher is one of many small presses having a holiday sale: shop from the comfort of your desktop and...

Things To Be Thankful For – Lady Smut Style

by Elizabeth Shore

A blogger friend of mine regularly posts “Thankful Fridays,” listing things – big and small – she’s thankful for that week. I think it’s a great thing to do – particularly on the day before Thanksgiving – and am shamelessly stealing her idea.

Most of us are thankful for the obvious things – family, friends, love, support, good health, food to eat, a place to live. While those things naturally make my list as well, I think in this instance I’m going to focus on things to be th...

Stay Thankful, My Friends

Poor dear. He really is trying to be helpful.

By Alexa Day

We here at Lady Smut are taking the week off to spend the Thanksgiving holiday doing various seasonally appropriate things. As for me, I’m grateful to have a bit of help in the kitchen, but my sweet assistant here is a bit clueless. I said to defrost the turkey in the sink with cold water, and I guess he thought I was speaking figuratively. I certainly hope that’s not the name he calls himself; I’ll never keep a straight face.

I’ll see y...

Put Your Witch Hat On

by C. Margery Kempe

I could not resist watchingAmerican Horror Story: Coven even though I usually have to laugh at portrayals of witches in popular culture. I don’t think doctors would find much to relate to in the way medical dramas show their lives and professions, so I can’t really take it personally (if you want some thoughtful yet fun pagan analysis, I’d suggest you check out the discussions by my pal Peg Aloi and her colleague Lilith Dorsey over at Patheos).

There’s no doubt that the witc...

Room Service, I’d Like To Order Some Hot Sex, Please

How do you spell stress relief? T-u-r-n d-o-w-n service.

By Madeline Iva

It’s luxury week here at Lady Smut! Yes, you’re going to be slaving over a hot stove next week. You’re going to be the bitch-general of the family making holiday happen, but not here, not on our watch. We at Lady Smut are here to whisk you away to soothing thoughts of finer things…

Like the awesome-ness of great hotel room sex. I don’t know about you, but there is nothing like a hotel room all tidy and clean to make me wan...
