Yesterday I complained loud and long about John Wayne’s use of a coal shovel as a spanking implement in McLintock. And you know what? I’m clearly not the only person who doesn’t associate coal shovels with sexy, spanking action. Below is the original theatrical poster for McLintock. Notice anything missing? Here’s the same scene from…

Spanking in the Movies
I mentioned the other week how you really don’t get a lot of spankings in mainstream movie. It’s not like I expect there to be as much spanking on screen as there is, say, inside my head. That wouldn’t leave enough time for all the car chases and robot battles and stuff. Not surprisingly, I…
‘Safe and Tame’ Fifty Shades Movie
Yesterday, I speculated that next year’s Fifty Shades of Grey movie will concentrate less on sex and more on plot.Seems like I may have been bang on the money. If by plot you mean “making moon-eyes at each other, in between helicopter rides and job interviews”. Which sounds like a fair synopsis of the first…
Fifty Shades Darker: The Infographic
As a teeny, tiny minnow in the Erotic Romance pond, I am of course very well aware of E L James whose “Fifty Shades of Grey” trilogy spans the metaphoric pond like a big fishy Colossus. Not too many authors in our genre get their works read out by Charles Dance or feature in major…

It is no way relevant to anything and…

This is just me picking up on something that I found a bit weird in ‘Humbled’…
Spanking for Laughs
Yesterday I mentioned that I have a love for the sort of spanking cartoons that used to appear in ‘racy’ humour magazines in the 1950s and 60s. So today I thought I would share a few of my favourites with you.These have all been taken from The Chicago Spanking Review which takes a pretty obsessive…
Sex with Buffy
The world’s first motion picture, L’Arrivée d’un Train à la Ciotat was first shown to cinema audiences in 1895. It was quickly followed a year later by the world’s first porn film. Because basically, mankind looks at a shiny new invention and thinks, how can we make it more about sex? I didn’t get online until the…
