Kitten LeFemme’s Top Ten Sex Blogs for 2009

December 29, 2009

Photobucket

Kitten LeFemme is a sex writer and educator living in Chicago.  She has written for UR Chicago, Poolboy magazine and is a weekly
contributor to lovelulumae.blogspot.com.

A list of my favorite sex blogs and why, in 2009, they were hotter than ever.

1) www.sugarbutch.net

Sinclair Smith has created a truly unique and truly sexy blog.   A combination of gender politics, philosophy, queer theory and smut make up the content of this hot butch’s site.  Smith writes about her real life experiences and in 2009 she started dating her girlfriend, and her lucky readers have gotten to read all about their naughty exploits as they explore their butch/femme and BDSM influenced relationship.

2) www.unspeakableaxe.com

Axe is a submissive, straight man living in New York City.  He breaks through stereotypes surrounding what it means to be straight, masculine guy and writes about his longing to do chores for and serve his lady partners.  In 2008 and early 2009, Axe was searching for a partner and his blog left the sexy and entered the sad.  Six months ago, he met the lady of his dreams and his content went from interesting to sexy to really fucking hot (literally. She put a pepper in his cock).

3) http://belledejour-uk.blogspot.com/

Belle’s blog made news earlier in the decade, when she began writing about her day to day life as an escort in the United Kingdom.  The blog led to a book, Diary of an Unlikely Call Girl, which led to a television series, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and the blog had a long lull.  Belle has long since ceased working as an escort, but her blog was bigger than ever in the later part of 2009 because she decided to no longer be anonymous and came out to the British press as an accomplished scientific researcher.  Belle’s posts about her clients are funny and sexy but the guts that it took to come out, deal with the subsequent press frenzy and dispel myths about sex workers is really hot.

4) http://deviantdyke.blogspot.com

Author DeDe Delynn combines photos with her beautiful writing to create erotica that is as luscious as the sex she is writing about.  Her short stories and poetry spin tales of desire that feel so real that you can practically smell the sweat on the lovers’ skin. In 2008, Delynn’s writing was great; this year she seems to have tapped into her voice and has written pieces that leave the reader clutching the mouse (or um, other things).  Additionally, she writes about hot, lusty, sexy dyke sex – proving that queer women can have dirty sex, too.

5) www.luriddigs.com

I didn’t discover this blog until 2009, and it gets my award for best discovery of the year.  A photo blog with commentary from a team of sassy writers, Lurid Digs posts photos of amateur, male nudes (mostly solo) – think the kind of photo you would see in a M4M Casual Encounters ad – and critiques it.  The critique is not of the model, however.  It is of the décor.  And it is hysterical.

6) www.early2rise.net

New to the web in 2009, Early to Rise is the boy blog created by Early to Bed, a feminist owned and run sex toy store in Chicago.  In addition to news about products available at Early to Bed, Early to Rise has advice, reviews and tips for dudes.  The best part of the site is that there is info for all kinds of men: straight, bi, gay, cissexual and trans.  The writers are clever, give some pretty solid advice (the pussy licking primer is especially good) and create a space where authentic male sexuality can be discussed.

7) www.bearsimjealousof.tumblr.com

Ok.  There isn’t really a tie in with this to 2009, but I am including it in my list, because I love bears and think they deserve as much love as possible. So cute.

8) www.cutechicagoboys.com

Cute Chicago Boys isn’t an explicit sex blog, but a collection of boys that the authors have deemed to be cute, and have subsequently interviewed and photographed.  This is a new site, and I get the feeling that the authors are still finding their groove, but they are off to a good start.  They have a good mix of gay and straight and undecided, which makes up for the lack of variety in types of guys (we get it, hipster boys are dreamy).  That said, it is an adorable concept and I am looking forward to seeking what they do with the site in 2010. Confidential to Troy S: How in the world are you available?  You are gorgeous.  Totes my favorite Cute Chicago Boy.

9) www.flithygorgeousthings.com

Comprised of articles, blog entries, random confessions and beautiful photographs, Filthy Gorgeous Things is a welcome addition to the Internet sex media world.  Part blog, with weekly entries from contributors, and part literary magazine with monthly themed “issues, this site is undoubtedly both filthy and gorgeous.  The site design alone is eye candy (hint: click on the icons on the top and bottom of the page.  They bring up confessions submitted by readers. Hot.).  The writing is top notch and the photos are professional, compelling and artistic.  Oh, and the content is super dirty.  Note: some pieces require a subscription to read them, but there is plenty of free content to keep you, er, entertained.

10) http://nattnightly.wordpress.com/

Natt Nightly is a genderfuck, transmaculine writer.  He covers topics ranging from love to lust, politics to romance and everything in between.  He is making the 2009 list because of an August entry; “Challenges”.  In the post, he challenges sex writers to extend beyond wham-bam fucking stories and delve into more intimate territory.  The post is thoughtful and sexy all at once.  I hope some sex bloggers take his advice and give us even hotter material for 2010!

People Are Flocking to Venice!

December 17, 2009

Photobucket

Venice is a hit! In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Crystal Chappell shared that fan response to Venice has been overwhelmingly fabulous! Sales at the online Venice store were able to fund the first season and viewership of the first episode alone will be able to fund the whole second season! Even more exciting is that people are contacting Ms. Chappell for sponsorship as well! If you haven’t already, check out the first episode here. Epsiode two comes out this week and is available through the Venice subscrption service. Also be sure to pick up the latest issue of Go! where not only will you find an exclusive on Venice, but you will also find our favorite ladies gracing the cover!

Venice Has Arrived, Or Then There Was Venice

December 4, 2009

Photobucket

Otalia fans can rejoice as Crystal Chappell’s (ex-Olivia, Guiding Light) webseries Venice will debut this week at www.venicetheseries.com!  There will be a number of familiar daytime faces donating their talents to the web series, including sizzling hot sexpot Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe, DAYS). Nadia will play Lara who will be giving Crystal a run for her money as they both vie for the attention of Jessica Leccia’s (ex-Natalia, Guiding Light) character, Ani. The preview for Venice is back up on Youtube (below) after being mysteriously pulled off for a few weeks, and if the series can produce the same quality that is present in the preview than we have good things to look forward to. With their limited budget and the cheesey potential at an ultra high, Venice could easily turn out to be a queer bust. Luckily, with Ms. Chappell’s resourcefulness and attention to her fanbase it seems Otalia fans are in for a treat and Venice may well be paving the way for new and innovative approaches to keep the soap opera genre alive! Kudos to Soap Opera Digest for showing their support for Venice as they featured an inside scoop on the series this week, and voted Otalia as best couple in their annual Best and Worst issue! Show some love this week and take a trip to Venice!

Otalia Lives on in Venice

October 7, 2009

Photobucket

Ok so Otalia got the happy ending they deserved…minus the televised kiss the couple and the fans deserved! After Guiding Light’s demise, we hear that there was a kiss taped but was cut out due to “time constraints”!? Digging deeper into the back story of Otalia it turns out that Executive producer Ellen Wheeler’s Mormon background and her reliance on her Mormon’s community’s thoughts played a major role in throwing shade on Otalia’s spotlight — everything from the story’s conception to its bitter end. Fortunately, the story of Otalia motivated Crystal Chappell (ex-Olivia half of supercouple Otalia) to seek out other outlets to continue Otalia’s story. When Chappell was shot down for trying to spin off Otalia to sister show As the World Turns, or to continue Otalia as a web series, she decided to create a queer story of her own. That story will be showcased through Venice! Venice is a web series co-created by Chapell and not only stars herself but also includes her ex-Otalia super couple co-star Jessica Leccia as well as a cast of familiar daytime faces all donating their creative talents for free!!!! Chappell will play queer designer Gina and the story will follow her dramatic life in Venice, CA. The first episode features a big fat juicy kiss between Crystal and Jessica’s characters! Take that Ellen Wheeler! No word yet on any dates for Venice’s debut but you can follow Venice the series on Facebook and Twitter for further updates! See you in Venice!

Otalia Everafter…

September 15, 2009

Photobucket

As Guiding Light fades off the air this week, we Otalia fans are on the edge of our seats!! Guiding Light has been lacking for years now and the only compelling love story playing out as of late has been this refreshing tale of two adult women battling the odds to be with each other. Classic soap story with a lesbian twist! Unfortunately as much as this story has been entertaining it’s still missing  essential components of realism. Longing looks and warm hugs are cute but come on now! Can we get a juicy Otalia kiss?!?!? Of course some sexual relations for Otalia would be ideal but with the clock ticking and the fact that they haven’t even shared a kiss yet, sex is doubtful. All the investment put into this story will seem moot if Otalia isn’t given that one smooch. Guiding Light was already robbed of any future, here’s to hoping Otalia isn’t robbed of their last chance to be portrayed just as equally as all the heterosexual couples that have filled our daytime screens for years now!

Hannah Free

September 1, 2009

Photobucket

Remember when you were a baby gay and Michael Novotny’s mother from Queer as Folk was the not-so-silent hero of the show, because she always brought the self-centered gays down to earth, and also her disdain for Brian was tempered but fair? Well fast forward to 2009 and Sharon Gless is still fighting the good fight on camera, this time as the title character in Hannah Free. What we’ve got here is secret midwestern life-long love affair and thank GOD one of them looks real butch, not L-Word butch. Shot entirely in Chicago and produced by our very own Tracy Baim, the film has already gotten some awards and the Chicago screenings have begun to sell out. The film will have a one-week limited engagement in Chicago Sept. 25-Oct. 1 at the Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, 164 N. State. On September 26th, there will be a gala featuring Sharon Gless and other cast members, along with live music by Lucy Smith. More information is available at hannahfree.com. Trailer below, tickets here.

Addressing White Privilege in the GLBTIQ Community

August 26, 2009

Photobucket

I’ve been thinking about this more and more. I was at a movie in the park the other day and realized (it was pure coincidence, I swear) that the BF and I were hanging out with two other same-sex couples, and all of us were bi-racial. That is, one of the people in each couple was white and the other was not. After I got over how cool I thought we all were, I went on to thinking about my experience as such, and wondering if the other pairs ever talked about it. I did point it out to everyone, and we all laughed at how cute it was. BUT, I am frequently mistaken for white. I am full blooded Guatemalan, but I have always had to defend my brownness to both whites and non-whites. “No really, meet my tiny little parents and see how brown we are.” The others at the park were white and South Asian, and I don’t think they have had to defend their brown status. I’m always self-conscious of my Spanish around other Latinos, especially in impersonal situations such as ordering food. But the hardest part for me these days is, with the knowledge that people tend to assume that I am white, how can I fight against, or at least not take advantage of the invisibility of white privilege? A new friend just passed this along, a considered piece about white privilege over at The Pink Pink Elephant and I’m renewing my commitment, right here and now, for being out about my brownness. No longer will I hesitate to bust out my spanglish just because of whatever is going on in my head. This blog and the TPR name have been my outlet for finding myself and finding others like myself for six years. People ask me sometimes if I get paid for TPR (it has led to gigs, THANK GOD) but I’ve never even considered diluting or diverting my attention for $$.
