We do appreciate readers' comments here about revamping our comments file style -- it is currently under consideration with our editorial staff. Some love the blog-style comments attached to only one entry/story; others love to be able to read about all of the magazine in one place. If any of our fabulous readers have some clever examples or constructive ideas on how to combine those two concepts, please feel free to email us as we work on this! We also have a reader survey coming up on our front page in about two weeks that will include views about comment style.



What a gorgeous, elegant magazine to find in the on-line world -- the poetry! and the art! not to mention the smut! Thank you for being here

The Strange Credibility of Polyamory by Pepper Mint was an excellent read. Just a couple of weeks ago I had a conversation with an uncle of mine who is a born-again Christian and asked me if I was 'right with God'. I'd told him that I followed Jesus' commandment that we love one another. That I love, that it is who I am and what I do. I was surprised by his acceptance of my lifestyle--and it made me think. Pepper Mint has put into words much of what I was considering. Thank you.

I think the reason that polyamory does so well in mainstream media these days is that it subverts the stereotype that monogamous people all cheat on their partners but pretend they don't. It's hard to argue that people should feel hurt if they don't, and it's hard to argue that people should lie about their actions. And stories about poly relationships going bad read like "Poly Person Acts Like Normal Person".

Re "Idle Hands"- as a massage therapist, I cringed at the mere idea of this story. I've been a CS reader for over 7 years, and I am aware that erotica sexualizes a wide range of occupations, but massage therapists have been fighting so long to be recognized as medical professionals, and a story like this doesn't help. People who might feel uncomfortable getting their first massage are gonna get the wrong idea from this story. It just furthers the misconception that massage is sexual, not therapeutic.

Damn! Could you ask for more? Alana Noel Voth's "Shadow Dancing" lived up to its title and then some! Erotic? Yes, but with an edge - an undercurrent as human and dangerous as a perilous river. For beneath the implied beauty of her protagonist writhes a mind trapped in suffering. And the ending ... well, if you haven't read the story, read it. I wished it didn't end. When's the book coming out, Alana?

Sarah Black's "A Blowjob for Jesus" was not at all what I expected. Happy to say that it was much, much more. Mixing what could have been blasphemous elements, (to others, I myself am not at all bothered my the concoction) It was a sexy story that got to the figurative truth about the beauty one can find in any love. If Jesus did come back I could with great certainty believe that he would be a pan sexual bringer of happiness and comfort. Thank you for combining the things I love most about writing, a good hot loving scene surrounded by deep meaning all wrapped up in a "not-at-all preachy" package. Yet another brilliant story in a month of excellent stories. You did the near impossible, you made me forget the mythos and enjoy the truth as it should be.

Ann Regentin's Magnificat was phenomenal, personal, and as awe-inspiring as the pregnancy, indecision and fear she describes. I remember it well, though ours was hoped for, somewhat planned and welcome, it still brought forth all the emotions and fears excitement Ann so beautifully describes. Thank you Ann for one hell of a beautiful story!

I loved Consonance by DJ Maze. It's rare to find something that titillates you both intellectually and sexually, but the lyricism in the language takes care of the former while the tenderness of emotion and sensory description take care of the latter. I'm glad I got to read it!

I do enjoy the majority of the stories on this website but the one for "Big Boy" seemed on the line of real abuse. Especially when she had to have sex with his friend(a complete stranger to her). It didn't really sound like she wanted it like in other stories in the moment. It was as if she did it just to make him (master) happy in a way of ignorance of not knowing there is a choice. I know I may be taking this too literal, but compared to other stories I felt compelled to respond.

"Sex on the Other Side of Midnight": the rhythm sets the scene, the words part of the music. When I felt the rhythm, then read the words, the whole unfolded ... a dance of nature lovers. That's poetry, Magi. So beautiful, so moving.

"Lessons on Love" by Caroline Wolfe reads perfectly. It sounds didactic while intuitively accurate, as if Wolfe expressed universal truths here that many of us haven't slowed down to see. I laughed to myself when she encouraged women to not talk about problems when making love to a man. I had to slow myself down when reading the details of making love to a woman.

I look forward to applying the lesson soon. Thanks!

Hi Jean Roberta,

Many thanks for your review of The Mammoth Book of Best New Gay Erotica. I've got it and am reading my way around the book. So far, my favs include Kirk Read's "Little Stevie," Shaun Levin's "A History of Noah," Alexander Chee's "The Crow's Confession," "Two Hearts" by David May, "The Bureaucrat" by Andrew Holleran (his book, Dancer from the Dance, is equally amazing) and TJL's "Last Time." Incredible collection. Three cheers.

Question Mark made me conceptualize our commonality more than I ever had before. I am profoundly moved by knowing that not only am I not alone in my analyzing of this strange situation we are in - (everyone would say we're crazy)but that someone else knows where I am - where my spirit is. And that I can talk to you about it over coffee is nothing short but a miraclous gift from God.

The total attention on a lover and the molten hot freezing sensations travelling across nerves in the speed of light, from erogenous zones touched and licked, to the brain, becomes the ultimate headtrip in a finite moment of nirvana. Wow, you made me realize this.

"Maria's Window" by Teresa Lamai is a gem.
It resonates with dark, archetypical themes,
yet sparkles with vivid imagery.The story artfully bounds between locales
and times, keeping the reader interested
but never bewildered.
"Maria's Window" is further proof that, in the right hands,
erotica can be smart and sexy.

Just a comment on William Dean's essay on the topic of sex and death: what I remember most from a book on the various Jewish views of the afterlife, was written by an Hassidic rabbi who said that there's food and sex in heaven-I pray that he's right, and, by the way, I say, the hell with the food-unless it's strictly ORGANic!

I read Bandora's Box(her affliction)by J. Walczesky.

It was very raw, sensual and empowered with a sort of defiance for freedom. I loved it.

This phrase totally hypnotised me:

Be sexy, just be sexy, flaunt your pussy and purr.

I loved it ! Keep writing!

This is my first time at Clean Sheets. I love the story, "A Note" by Alexandria Day. Those first months of being a new mother and the body changes are a big adjustment. There's nothing more sensual than nursing breasts. Often the only solution to the tenderness is your husband/partner suckling them often. Sweet story. I hope to read more by this author.

Dear Kat,

I love narcissa. I've come back to read it over and over, perhaps a dozen times in the last two weeks. It's sexy, it's urgent, it paints pictures, and, best of all, it tells a story. The unpunctuated style works wonderfully to make your voice unique.

narcissa has so many fabulous lines I could quote the whole piece trying to tell you which ones they are. Here's a few of my favorite favorites:

"me with my white eyelet cotton dress pulled up" [oooh, so sexy]

"the years trip and flip and rip away"

"men old and young and in between look, cannot help but look want wonder" [me too]

"molten polenta and i am shimmering, alone at this bar in heat"

"more pluck than i have in my toolkit"

And of course, the smoldering line CleanSheets selected for a teaser:

"they lose their bearings no matter how hip no matter how worldly no matter how young and i am in heat and i want to score the supple flesh of a man's bare back with my short nails while he pummels me punishes me pushes himself into me into me into me"

If gently done, writers also like to know what readers think might make a simmering piece like narcissa even better. I know you went over every word a billion times, and to you it's perfect, but what about leaving out another word or three to make the above passage even more rushingly demanding:

they lose their bearings no matter how hip no matter how worldly no matter how young and i am in heat and want to score the supple flesh of a man's bare back with my short nails while he pummels punishes pushes himself into me into me into me

Offered with the greatest respect,

Milk by John Shanahan was one of the most intriguing pieces of erotic literature I have had the pleasure of taking in for a very long time. Some of it was the type of thing I pen, and some of it was totally of an ethereal plane. And I loved it all. I do hope to find more by this wordsmith, who spins a sultry tale weaving the words into my mind...like a pain/pleasure vibrato mantra that I just love and want more of.

"Drafts" by Michael O'Mahony. From the opening, the author grabbed me; as I read, I was caught up in the rhythm of the piece. I was whooshed along by the "breeze" -- directed, engrossed and finally fulfilled. I shared the unhurriedness of the lovers. And I thought "wouldn't it be wonderful to make love to a woman in such a languid way, to the rhythm of the wind?". Using a device as simple as the breeze flowing through a window, Michael spun a tale so deceptively intoxicating, I didn't exhale till the end.

FEET IN THE SUPERMARKET

That story was really hot. As a foot man, I find that the super market is one of the nicest places to see sexy feet. I work for myself so am free during business hours and make it a point to go then looking for horney housewives w/sexy feet. I always carry a camera w/me and as I engage a sexy pair of feet in conversation, I subtly take pictures of her feet. If anone is interested in my pictures, write to me at Sandallover@webtv.net and I will send some.

So ladies, do you dare to bare your feet in the supsermarket.

I agree with your article Sexual Identity. My questions to you is do you feel that bi-sexual women respond the same way? I'm bi-sexual & find it's so much easier being a women. We are much more touchy feely that it doesn't even have to be an issue. Twice a friend asked if I would help her to experiement. I wasn't about to turn that down & yet I didn't pressure them .I really wanted them to enjoy it.They did but 1 women said it was nice but she didn't want to do it again. And of course would I keep it a secret. I have so many secrets in my head it's a wonder it doesn't explode. My other friend shows up at my door now & then for comfort & closeness her husband doesn't give her.So. one way or another I'm having the warmth & softness of a woman next to me.

Moaning unabashedly...not caring that both knew how badly I wanted to have His Manhood in my mouth........

For me BD/SM has always been in my life I can go back to vanilla but never for long. My parnter has always been on the same lines. In the past couple years he doesn;t want to let alone much of anything else. I haven't strayed and keep on trying. It's him that I want. But I seem to be losing myself and nothing I do works and any form. I have tried mostly anything I can dream up to interest him which is alot. I feel if this continues I will lose my desire completely or I will search someone else out. I have told him this. He'll try and then quit again. I can't imagine the rest of my life without sex. I'm now in my 50's. This is very sressful.

An excellent review of an excellent movie. Joy St. James' review of "Breakfast on Pluto" nailed it. As well as portraying transexuals in an honest light without the cliche, so too does it portray Ireland. Lot of parallels there. See this movie, please do. Kudos to Joy for the review.

Reading Kayla Kuff's article about the submissive woman, hit home with me. I feel as she does in several points. This is my life, and I will live it happy! Polly Samples

First visit to this site and I feel at home already thanks to Chris's anti-porn article. I wholeheartedly agree. I'm a female who's always enjoyed porn. In the 70's the main thing was to turn down the horrible music - you know - porn music. I was glad to read what Chris had to say regarding his needs. I agree 100%, but didn't know if I was too picky or too bitchy or too catty or too something.

What I want is fairly simple:

1. a semi-believable plot for at least the first half of the movie.

2. realistic positions, changed frequently

3. no more cutting and splicing the explicit scenes just to stretch out the movie

4. women in the movies? please. kick off those damned high heels. Yes you have pretty legs and dainty feet and we've all seen them - now be real.

5. lingerie ladies! naked gets boring very quickly

6. HUMOR! I saw an X-rated western once that was great. I'd rather watch porn that has some quality humor in it than the best of what passes for porn today.

7. can't be stressed enough - get real, especially females. Tone down the makeup, let your hair actually move and get messy, walk and move like real people, not wannabe models, and stop acting like semen is a precious Gift From The Gods.

I'm wholeheartedly with Chris Bridges in his anti-porn position. it is a sad state of affairs when the virginal caresses of "Shakespeare in Love" are more arousing than anything you find in the over-21 section of the video store. If I wanted anatomy lessons I'd go see my gyn. (Here's a thought--what if they had a plot?) The best thing I've seen in years is "Secretary," and there was nearly no skin showing...

I enjoyed your remarks about Etta james. I have been one of her greatest fans since I was growing up during the fifties in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. When all the radios in the apartments facing the street would all be turned to the local blues and R&B radio station. And Etta's voice would be seducing all of my teenage friends. She is the epitome of blues and R&B of the fifties and the queen of today's blues. I look forward to the Austin City rerun later this month. Thanks for the heads up keep up the commentaries.

Butterfly Effects, by Themistokles...

One of the most vivid and passionate pieces of writing I’ve come across. Wow. “Later I will fuck the sky into her body.” Although I’ve never had an interest in bdsm activities, I couldn’t help but read this piece over and over. It was not only sadistic, but also romantic and spiritual, even--two qualities I’d have never expected to connect with bdsm. And after clicking on the link to his website and reading even more, well, I found myself thinking all day about what it might be like to be one of those wounded angels and “intimate with the birth of the stars.”

Regarding "On a Saturday Morning in October" by Gwen Masters: WOW. Totally appreciate her intuition of his body language. That connection, that rarity of initmacy is amazing to experience even removed as we are in this medium of the internet We don't want to be distracted by our own pleasures while enjoying each other. WE feel worshippped and when we let go for each other and into each other, it truely is our favorite moment of intimacy. Words truely can dimish acts of the heart. It WAS a Saturday morning in October and we WERE right where we needed to be.

Re: Peter Klein’s post
-- Monday, January 02, 2006 at 12:38:51 (EST)

Peter SAYS :
in his opening statement: ‘I have to say I pretty much agree with Ann, and not the MOT3 post‘……..theand not the MOT3 post‘……..then

At 1) in his ‘advice to men who want or intend to be good lovers to women.’, that :‘The female orgasm IS elusive, unreliable, hard to figure out.

However Ann said: There's only one problem. Women's orgasms are not elusive……By comparison, it's the male orgasm that's elusive.

So Peter, it’s make your mind up time. You must know what happens to the man who tries to ride the up and down escalators at the same time.

At 2) ‘Expect to have more luck with your fingers than your dick.’

Not only does Peter appear to have given up hope of using his dick to be with and help women when they have the ultimate in sexual pleasure but also wants to rob others of having that experience only gained through perseverance. Surely he must know that upwards of 90% of women who masturbate do so to orgasm hence they would likely men of his persuasion, not least because they can do a better job of it than any man can. She would most definitely have much more luck with her fingers than any man’s.

‘Learn about this particular woman.’
Spot on Peter, on the button. Only trouble is the rest of the paragraph demonstrates confused thinking and is vitiated by this quote.
Every woman has her own needs where foreplay is concerned and she must say what that is; it needn’t be verbal. Men might try not removing their own underwear until the partner indicates positively that she’s good and ready. That way he can’t get carried away; all it requires is some patience. (It should be pointed out here that some women may wish to dispense with foreplay as they consider it unnecessary because they orgasm immediately on penetration, then go on to dozens.)
With MOT3 the woman is going to become multi-orgasmic and see to it that she keeps having that quality of experience.


At 3) ‘…..what do you do. Just go to sleep and let her do it by herself. Let her know that it's fine with you if she does. Maybe you just go in the other room and stay away until she calls you back.’

If this is Peter’s attitude, then the question might be, what does She do; the clear and unequivocal answer should be, dump him, move on. If all she wants or needs are fingers, hers are more clever. If you need to go in the other room, you should never be allowed to return. You are superfluous to her requirements.
The whole quote sounds as though he’s had his so she can have her turn next. Well Peter, women have news for you. They are absolutely pissed off with having their vaginas used as a pleasurable, convenient place for male masturbation.

At 2)[was this meant to be 4)?] : ‘Don't keep asking her: did you come. It's not your business. Maybe she can't come and she doesn't want you to make it your problem. Just be ready and willing to help if you are asked. But don't make it your responsibility. It's not necessary for you to have a big ego about being a great lover.’

I have to say I pretty much agree with Ann, and not the MOT3 post. And so I write this advice to men who want or intend to be good lovers to women.

1) Go easy on yourself. The female orgasm IS elusive, unreliable, hard to figure out. It's not your fault, pal. So go easy on yourself.

2) Expect to have more luck with your fingers than your dick. Don't follow the conventional wisdom. Learn about this particular woman. For example, we're often told: pet a women with a long luxurious foreplay. Not always true. Sometimes a long foreplay will cause a women to misfire when it is time for petting to orgasm. Those women need a short foreplay and then advance quickly to petting for orgasm.

3) Sometimes women are just simply inhibited. And you say, she should get over that. That's bullshit. Maybe she won't get over it, but she's still your lover -- what do you do. Just go to sleep and let her do it by herself. Let her know that it's fine with you if she does. Maybe you just go in the other room and stay away until she calls you back.

2) Don't keep asking her: did you come. It's not your business. Maybe she can't come and she doesn't want you to make it your problem. Just be ready and willing to help if you are asked. But don't make it your responsibility. It's not necessary for you to have a big ego about being a great lover.

sorry i've come so late to your blog SEX, FUCKING AND FEMALE ORGASM.
it is very refreshing to see the ease with which you approached the topic, and the distinction between sex and fucking is noteworthy. however, if i may i should like to make a couple of comments and leave a little information here.

1. 'women can orgasm until their fingers get tired or their batteries run dry.'

this is indeed true, and maybe you ought to have included 'or until they are too sore to go on comfortably'.
however, we have found, empirically, that women can orgasm dozens of times in heterosexual pairings, without once putting a finger on the clitoris, with the same erection, once they are multiple orgasm tutored, trained and tuned (MOT3).

2. 'most women cannot come during intercourse.'

there might be greater accuracy in the statement if it were to be modified by sustituting 'do not' for 'cannot'. it is our belief that it is possible to help at least a couple hundred million women become MOT3 within the next ten years. becoming multiple orgasmic is just a simple matter of desire, arousal and knowing what to do and how to do it.

3. 'It's not a question of masculine endurance or technique, just a physical quirk so rare that it could be said to be abnormal.'

if by 'physical quirk' is meant that the small percentage of women who orgasm during sexul intercourse with their partners is an anomaly,we disagree as we believe that if the resources were available the figure at 2 above could easily go up to five hundred million and eventually the anomaly would be the 6 percent who didn't, for whatever reasons.

4. ' Millions of men have agonized over their performance and millions of women have berated their lovers or themselves all because of something that no technique or duration of penetration can change.'

we have established that indeed technique and duration of penetration are essential to both single/couple/few orgasms and dozens of orgasms with the same erection. all the agony and blame alluded to are the result of frustration at not achieving a genuine desire for both to experience the full pleasure of having orgasms during intercourse, without assistance of any kind.

5.'The female body is just not made to come when fucked.'

wow! one cannot be more emphatic than that. on the contrary, the reverse is true. so the statement might be more accurate if we were to remove the words 'just not'. it is just plain unfortunate that the requisite carnal knowledge is still the preserve of a very fortunate relatively small number of people. the human female can orgasm as many times as her age and more, with the same erection, even in her sixties, once she is in reasonably good health, and of course, if both know what to do and how to do it.

in fact, women of different ages, social backgrounds, marital status, number of children can have:

8 orgasms in 12 minutes
20 orgasms in less than 18 minutes
30 orgasms in 30 minutes
6 dozens of orgasms in 2 and a half hours
8 dozens of orgasms within 6 hours,in two sessions
and so on. and note carefully , all this without a finger touching the clitoris,and without any soreness at the end.

6. 'Fingers, tongues, or vibrators applied to the clitoris are the best tools for inducing female orgasm, and this should be good news because dicks are notoriously temperamental'.

dicks are unquestionably as you say, and we would add that erections are the most perishable commodity known to man, and even more frustratingly, to woman. be that as it may, fingers, tongues and vibrators are still not the best tools for inducing female orgasm or multiple orgasms. powerful desire, arousal and carnal knowledge combined are supremely the hands down winners; upwards of 90% of women and their male partners can learn to do it. the only way the last number will not happen is if people are not interested or couldn't be bothered.

in conclusion, we would like to say that none of the numbers are speculation or wishful thinking, rather cold hard fact and reproducible. the next stage would be to set out to create a fully validated methodology of fuckology as it were, that can legitimately take its place within the scientific record of sexology. it could then be the norm for men to be fucking for female multiple orgasms(fffmo), any time and every time their partners wish it; orgasmic bingo would be a common place bed game. it's just a matter of time when a worldwide orgasm revolution would have kum about.

may we wish you a joyous festive season, and that you and all your female friends and readers kum at least 2006 times in 2006!!
sincerely,
togm

' Catching a Dreamer" - I love lesbian stories here. And of course I also thus love your yoni art-:)

I think undoubtedly the third one down is the prettiest. Only kidding - they're all very beautiful. I find it a pity though that yonis are so often shaved nowadays. It seems even stranger that on some porno sites, photos of natural yonis are classified as fetish/bizarre. When I was a teenager and first came across a post-pubescent girl, I was a little scared by pubic hair but I got over it and came to love the mystery of the pussy partly hidden. I have often wondered if the prevalence of shaved female genitalia is a result of males not growing up enough to accept that females, like males, change as they grow older. If so, I would find it sad. I find it hard to explain. The yoni is beautiful though - even if it is shaved.

Your "Celebrating Yoni" is like celebrating fragment and wholeness, movement and stillness, Shiva and Shakti, lotus and mud.

Call it spoof
or nirvana
if you like

hidden between thighs
is the spring music
beyond birth

It's a lovely exercise, stimulating mysticism, or gently harmonising Ying and Yang. The images appear to me like lotus rising from the depths of lake through mud crossing existence. GREAT. It's the BEST of 2005.

I liked your article. Yes, men have had problems coming too quickly and then feeling like they can't satisfy their partner. I suggest that you consider the Tantric philosophy, where male orgasm is separated from ejaculation. I aspire to this as the best method yet for everyone getting everything they need when making love. Besides, the spiritual connection is just awesome and that alone makes a woman come a lot easier.

Take care.

"Brava, Ann!" You confirm my worse suspicions about cocks just not doing it! A tremendous article, which hopefully will relieve many a girl all too persuaded that she needs a man for the old "in-out!" I just reviewed her piece in my own blog http://www.livejournal.com/users/devifemme/, and I'm recommnding "cleansheets" far and wide. Thanks, Ann!!!!

That's an excellent story (Red State Blues), very musiuse clit stimulation. additionally, I was involved with a lady who had multiples orgasm through vaginal penetration and with my fingers she also had very stronger vaginals muscles that clamped down during her orgasms. Very intense and definetly not faking. But your right i think rare. I know women have come vaginally with me but not like her. it is seems when its face to face the will come. especially if a play with them a lot. and i grind instead of pound them to death. P.S. and its fun to play with women

" Penetration, provided it is face-to-face, does result in clitoral stimulation."

Right. In some romance novel, perhaps.

Very provocative discussion by Ann Regentin with one major omission. Penetration, provided it is face-to-face, does result in clitoral stimulation. Isn't life grand?

Compulsive writing. Solid imagery, great use of power phrase repetition and alliteration.

I could see the pictures!

I liked the almost guttural phrasure that conveys the primitiveness of the man's need for the most basic escape all men seek. The writing also inspired in me an empathy for the scared, riddled-with-doubt, sacrifice of the woman.

Most enjoyable. To quote that famous Oliver, "Please Sir, can I have some more?"

Cheyenne Blue's "The Seer's Wife" is lovely, mystical, physical, visual, filled with magic. It fits into what could easily be a tired "cheat-wife" genre, but the approach is fresh. Exhilerating. Well done.

This story was great. However...I don't fully understand it. Was he seeing Keiko and Carmen both at the same time? Was that last fling with Carmen solely because they were high? Was he supposed to be turning inin to the man he didn't want to be when he was helping Keiko cheat on her boyfriend? Will I ever know? GAH! heh thank you
