While sexually explicit writing and art have been around for
millennia, pornography--as an aesthetic, moral, and juridical
category--is a modern invention. The contributors to "Porn
Archives" explore how the production and proliferation of
pornography has been intertwined with the emergence of the archive
as a conceptual and physical site for preserving, cataloguing, and
transmitting documents and artifacts. By segregating and regulating
access to sexually explicit material, archives have helped
constitute pornography as a distinct genre. As a result, porn has
become a site for the production of knowledge, as well as the
production of pleasure.
The essays in this collection address the historically and
culturally varied interactions between porn and the archive. Topics
range from library policies governing access to sexually explicit
material to the growing digital archive of "war porn," or
eroticized combat imagery; and from same-sex amputee porn to gay
black comic book superhero porn. Together the pieces trace
pornography as it crosses borders, transforms technologies,
consolidates sexual identities, and challenges notions of what
counts as legitimate forms of knowledge. The collection concludes
with a valuable resource for scholars: a list of pornography
archives held by institutions around the world.

"A Taste for Brown Sugar" boldly takes on representations of black
women's sexuality in the porn industry. It is based on Mireille
Miller-Young's extensive archival research and her interviews with
dozens of women who have worked in the adult entertainment industry
since the 1980s. The women share their thoughts about desire and
eroticism, black women's sexuality and representation, and ambition
and the need to make ends meet. Miller-Young documents their
interventions into the complicated history of black women's
sexuality, looking at individual choices, however small--a costume,
a gesture, an improvised line--as small acts of resistance, of what
she calls "illicit eroticism." Building on the work of other black
feminist theorists, and contributing to the field of sex work
studies, she seeks to expand discussion of black women's sexuality
to include their eroticism and desires, as well as their
participation and representation in the adult entertainment
industry. Miller-Young wants the voices of black women sex workers
heard, and the decisions they make, albeit often within material
and industrial constraints, recognized as their own.
A juicy collection of question and answer sessions with
prostitutes, porn stars, porn producers, journalists, nude
photographers, erotica authors and more, all assembled by a guy who
has been there and done that. Get the low down on what really
happens behind close doors. "Sex Talk" is as educational as it is
entertaining.
A lively exploration of how porn harms us and those around us, and
what we can do to deal with porn addiction. Porn is so easily
accessible today that everyone you know has probably consumed porn
in some form, and it is likely someone close to you does so on a
regular basis. As society becomes more "pornified," we must pay
close attention to how porn can harm us and those we love. Joshua
Wong reveals the truth of how porn can destroy our capacity for sex
and relationships, traumatize our young, and harm families and
women. To porn addicts he provides strong strategies and tips to go
porn free.
The day that I found out my husband liked wearing female underwear
was a changing point in our marriage. I still loved him very much
he was a good provider for the household, but things were going to
have to change as part of the acceptance of this new bit of
information. I called him out on it when he got home from work that
day and he got down on his knees and begged me to understand that
it was just something that had always been part of who he was. I
made him beg until the tears were streaming down his face, and then
he said the magic words that any good dominating wife loves to
hear. "Honey I will do anything"
What happens when your husband admits he likes wearing your clothes
more then his own. What would you do? Would you be ready to take
control of the situation, would you be ready to put the pants on
and put him in his new place, in panties and stockings. What other
interesting and naughty things would you be willing to accept as
you take on the mantle of the Man of the House.
Well where do you start, I mean I never started out with evil
intentions in mind, though I have to admit that was exactly where I
ended up. My name is Sally and I am a Dominant Wife, I know a few
people would consider me an abusive wife, and I am fine with that
except the only difference is that my husband actually enjoys me
abusing him. It wasn't always like that, when I married Bob we were
the typical married couple, we went on vacations together and built
our nest egg together and all that normal stuff. We were married
for about ten years before things started to change, and I never
once thought that I would be in the position I am in today. Let us
just say that I wear the pants in the family now, and there is no
way I am going to give up that power or control, it became like a
drug for me, I never realized just how enjoyable it would be to be
the power in the house, but when I finally realized it I was
addicted to it and I threw that power around with a heavy hand. The
simple fact that my husband submitted to me just made me even more
power hungry, it was like I could do no wrong, no matter how much I
pushed the boundaries of the new relationship that was developing
between my husband and myself I always found him to be accepting of
my authority. In fact the more my husband capitulated to my wants,
desires, and demands just made me want to do more and more. I don't
want to get to far ahead of myself because that will simply ruin
the story for you, and we don't want to do that now do we. I guess
I should start at the beginning though.
Who doesn't enjoy a little role reversal, a little playtime,
especially when involves a little kinky fun. Well here are ten
short stories about just that, whether you like to read about men
being submissive to there wives and girlfriends, or maybe putting
your man into skirts and stockings so he knows his place. Of course
there is nothing quite like the power trip of locking ones pleasure
up with a little key so they can't even touch it. These short
stories have a little bit of it all. They are quick fun reads about
the thing you desire the most which is giving into your desire and
seeing what it would be like to give up control in your
relationship, to let your wife wear the pants and wield the joy
stick for awhile. Well maybe you lady is not into it but that
doesn't mean you can't read about those who are and then you can
close your eyes and fantasize that it is you in those pages. For
the ladies who have there men already in there places or would like
them to be, you may get some new ideas on how much fun it would be
to do some of these things to your man. Either way I hope you enjoy
them and look for others in the future.
This book makes available the blueprint of AA's Spiritual and
organizational methods for those U.S. males who discover at any age
that they are hopelessly addicted to pornography, strip bars,
prostitutes and their own sexual fantasies and orgasm. Although a
very delicate subject in our society, someone has to make this
information available to the thousand of U.S. male college
students, military members, single and married men who are
afflicted with this addiction and need a way out. The book has been
written by someone who although fortunately was able to stop
drinking and smoking with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous at the
age of 29, was not successful with the pornography addiction until
his late 50's. The addiction takes away everything that we work and
strive for, only to leave us once again in a state of hopeless
demoralization.
. This book is strictly for entertainment purposes and is not
considered a training book in any way shape or form. This book
should only be read by adults and people who are interested in
ideas for alternative sexual fun. That is the true goal after all
is to have a little fun in this life isn't it so if this is your
idea of fun then we hope you enjoy these ideas immensely. If
however this is not your idea of fun then why did you buy the book
in the first place? Quite a bit of effort was put in to this to
keep the assignments as simple and straight forward as possible.
The assignments vary from quite easy to quite difficult and it is
up to you and your own personal situation as to how you will
accomplish them. There is no grading system or anything like that
provided however if you are working on these assignments with a
partner or Mistress then I am sure the grading will be done by them
appropriately. That being said remember that you are in control at
all times and that if you don't want to do something don't do it,
once again we are not forcing you to do anything, these are just
entertaining ideas for you to read and decide for yourself. The
ideal situation for these assignments is if you are doing it with a
partner or Mistress, but the majority of them can be done solo if
you do not have someone else to play with, I am sure you will be
able to figure out the best way to achieve acceptable results
either way. Some of these assignments require certain items that
you may or may not have already so either go out and buy them or
find some other alternative for the necessary items and get on with
it. What is a Sissy? A Sissy for our purposes is man who likes to
wear female attire whether that be undergarments or a full fledge
cross dresser. They like to feel like what a woman would feel like,
though they do not necessarily have aspirations to truly become a
woman they just like the naughtiness about the whole idea. They are
usually submissive many consider themselves bi-sexual, they are
usually into being dominated by females. They are not usually
homosexual in the true sense of the word but there are certainly no
issues if they were. It comes down to being more feminine, a true
submissive sissy likes to be ordered about and told to do things
that are naughty, and sometimes painful in a naughty way. There is
no real definition of a sissy in our world that could adequately
sum up the many different feelings that go through the mind of a
Sissy male to state the simple truth.
Filmmaker Wakefield Poole wrote the rules for living on the edge
with no safety net and no apologies. How a respected Broadway
dancer, choreographer, and director became the infamous creator of
beautiful, wildly successful gay porn is just part of a gripping
story that takes us on a whirlwind tour of the early days of the
sexual revolution, when "anything goes" was a way of life. While
rubbing shoulders with the theatrical elite of the day, including
Noel Coward, Marlene Deitrich, Richard Rodgers, Liza Minelli and
Stephen Sondheim, Poole created Boys in the Sand, the film that
would revolutionize pornography and gay film, start the "porno
chic" trend of the 1970s, and serve as the ruler by which all adult
entertainment is measured. This new edition of Poole's memoir is an
honest and entertaining look at life in the worlds of theater and
gay porn, the perils and joys of success, the horrors of drug
addiction, and the resilient spirit of a man who continually
re-invented himself and survived it all.
This anthology takes the ever-controversial discussion of
pornography out of solely academic circles; it expands the
questions about porn that academics might tackle and opens the
conversation to those who know it best-the creators and users of
porn. * Features essays on non-traditional issues in porn,
including celebrity sex tapes, virtual sex, S&M, homosexual
porn, and technology's impact on the porn industry * Features
fascinating insights from psychologists, a lawyer, and an English
professor, as well as industry insiders such as Dylan Ryder * A
fun, entertaining, and philosophically provocative approach to
pornography, written for the general reader
