Helmut Newton: Fired

Fashion photography is a given in our contemporary era. Racy images are the norm. Few are shocked or startled by fetishistic sexuality, but where did such contemporary fashion photography begin? Who made a significant contribution?

Jeju Loveland When you think of South Korea, you don’t think of sex. Activities in the domain of public affection, such as kissing, are frowned upon. Being single beyond the age of thirty is a social faux pas, and living with a partner is taboo. So what is a sex theme park doing in South Korea? Read more...

Harems 2AM Los Angeles: Carolyn lies in her bed wondering who Angela is with tonight. Is she down on her knees, raw from constant friction, wanting to please. Carolyn doesn’t care; in fact, she actually likes the idea, but sometimes...It’s not the sex, Angela being with others--well, guys anyway. She’d probably kill her or worse if she were with another woman. No, it’s the thought of losing control over her. Poor Angela with all her conflicts. Not like me; no conflict here. I just need to get a job done.The bed stirs next to her. Please, don’t wake up. Her hand is between her legs, fingers moving; she doesn’t want to stop. Read more...

Editorial Letter

Delving through the Halloween submission, I arrived to one conclusion. Halloween or the spirit of dark erotica cannot be limited to one day. So fret not, those of you that have submitted work that is yet to appear. We're still having fun with dark offerings, and will place them where they deserve to be placed - in the new section, Dark Erotica.

John Santerineross: Dreamscapes, Light and Dark

Ainsi, dans cet art, les tableaux de la nature, les actions des humains, tous les phénomènes concrets ne sauraient se manifester eux-mêmes ; ce sont là des apparences sensibles destinées à représenter leurs affinités ésotériques avec des Idées primordiales.

Going Home The wind howled like unleashed demons...like a nightmare the hot punishing sand stung as it flayed flesh from bone...golden finger tipped claws, garter belt and crotchless panties, silky thigh high stockings and black high heels were glimpsed through a veil of forgetfulness...a lusty dream personified for a dull middle-aged man...and ancient memories awakened by the roaring sand...

The Thin God

"Shull," according to our tour guide, "is the Thin God, the God who assists the dying.” Whether thinness is an oblique reference to the God’s status, or more succinctly refers to his figure, I don't know. But the temple—Shull's temple, is unimpressive.  My fellow tourists are bored. Only I, an intimate of thinness—of wasting, actually, as I am presently dying of cancer, am chilled.

Dead Man's Party Ashley turned the latch on the door locking herself and her new friend Sarah in the bathroom. Her heart pounded, nearly matching the beat of the techno music shaking the floor beneath them. Brushing her slightly sweat-moistened strawberry blonde hair off her sticky brow she drew a deep sigh of relief. Read more...

Black Christ and His Invisible Brother on the Cross: Race and Religion in H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Dunwich Horror” American gothic writer H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is frequently labeled a racist despite the fact that he married a Jewess, Sonia Greene, in 1924. Though the two would ultimately (amicably) divorce, it would not be for reasons involving bloodlines (rather, because of Lovecraft’s regional homesickness). Read more...

In Search of Perfection

The quest for perfection has occupied the human mind for a long time. Throughout history, people in all cultures and societies have been searching for the perfect object, the perfect idea, the perfect life that will make everything complete, knowing full well all the while that perfection can never be attained or achieved. Perfection is a mental concept, not a reality, and it can therefore never be found because it doesn’t exist. The Holy Grail as the perfect vessel is one of the prime examples of the inherent futility of the search for perfection and, at the same time, the importance of the quest itself.

Erotika: Bedtime Stories

I hate like hell to give bad reviews. I am naturally positive and always try to find something good in everything. As a reviewer, I try to remain as objective as I can and prefer constructive critique over negative opinion. But, sometimes it is just not possible to always be nice.
