Kink

• I loved this Sinful Sunday image by Sub Bee. Trick or treat!
• Erica Scott's wooden hairbrush spanking from Paul Kennedy is getting some positive attention. From my vantage point behind the camera, I thought it was super hot.
• How do you find a partner who shares your interest in spanking? Jillian Keenan is here to help.
• It turns out your sexual fantasies aren't all that strange - new research backing up Charlie Glickman's stance that when it comes to sexuality, no-one gets to be normal. Girl on the Net, as ever, has an excellent take on this study, emphasising that no sexual fantasy is wrong, even if it isn't common - and that not every kinky fantasy wants to be acted out.

• Nimue's World has re-launched! Nimue Allen is now the sole owner-director of her own indie BDSM porn site - and there's some amazing new content coming out of it. Check out these blogposts about what's changed - and why having control over her own content is so important to her.
• Charities wont take porn money unless they can keep it a dirty secret. "Its not that nonprofits wont take money from the adult entertainment industry. Oh no, they simply wish the whole affair to be discreet."
• Failsafe porn to watch with a new boyfriend, a fantastic article by Girl on the Net on how to introduce the porn you like to your new lover. Namechecks MakeLoveNotPorn.tv, Bright Desire, and Clips4Sale - it's good to see the truly democratic, grassroots world of DIY porn given some love. I would also add PinkLabel.tv to the list.

• What does an orgasm look like? Some truly awesome artworks submitted to Girl on the Net's competition (sorry, she just keeps on being interesting!)
• You've probably seen it already, but this drone-shot porn is beautiful. "The plan was to take beautiful landscapes and just put people fucking in them."
• Feminist porn director Jennifer Lyon Bell shares six practical tips for shooting porn. I found number five particularly interesting - and something I could do more of.
• Some responses to Zoe William's Guardian article on ethical porn (on which more later, but meanwhile you can read my first impressions here). Erotic Scribes: "Porn is here to say 'Your fantasies are OK' when nobody and nothing else is going to say it." Yes = even if those fantasies are totally pervy. And the Telegraph acknowledges that "times are changing" - the radical idea that porn might not all be universally misogynistic and unethical (even though Gail Dines is still claiming women don't watch it). Also, apparently I'm the future of capitalism. Hokay.
• I love this new sensual film by Ms Naughty, which screened for the first time in Berlin: Tactile. Watch the full film at Bright Desire.

I'd better wrap up the rest of my social time and spanking shoots in Los Angeles in a single post, so I can get on with telling you all about Boardwalk Badness Weekend. This one is going to be full of photos!

The day after my shoot with the Clare Fonda Network, I finally got to realise a long-term dream: meeting the wonderful Erica Scott. I can confirm that she is just as warm, genuine and hilarious (not to mention hot) in person as she seems in her blog and videos. She took me and Alex to the most amazing cafe for brunch, on a cute street filled with arty little boutiques. There were flowers and little decorative touches everywhere, the sun was shining and the place was thronging with people and little dogs. "This is the authentic south California experience!" Erica assured me. I can certainly see why she's never wanted to leave.

I didn't have time to do a proper hyperkinks post at the weekend, but I did want to show you a couple of spanking links recently that caught my eye and turned me on.

The Intruder

The Villain and Erica Scott collaborated to produce this free spanking video. It shows us what happens when a creepy intruder enters Erica's flat. She fears the worst - and she's not sure whether to be relieved or more freaked out when she finds out that he just wants to spank her.
