Providers, Hobbyists, And Hardwood Floors: Walking The Virtual Streets

Free and open discussion of things that were formerly considered taboo is one of the best things about the interweb: websites like Craigslist and The Erotic Review have made it easier than ever for johns hobbyists to hire hookers providers for sex sensual fun, and have also made it more convenient for sex workers auto racing enthusiasts to offer their services and network with one another. But that doesn't mean it's still not a mysterious enterprise with a language all its own (who knew that "We took a trip to the Mediterranean" was shorthand for "anal sex"?) and its own private message boards where users do their best to avoid the wrong kind of attention.

We've been itching for a chance to peek inside the members' section of Zivity ever since we heard about their $7 million in funding, since nothing gets us more worked up than a throbbing, swollen seven figure price tag. Okay, actually we've been itching for a chance to peek inside since we heard that there would be naked models there too ... but all that cold hard capital made things all the more intriguing. Just what kind of porn site can you make with $7 million anyway? What kind of masturbatory wonders does that kind of money buy?

Well, eight months after it first started making headlines we finally managed to score an invite to the Zivity beta site, and now we can tell you: not very much.

You won't see the T-word mentioned anywhere on the site, but anyone who's familiar with the Twitter concept will understand what Boobik is all about: it's a service that allows you to share all your juicy "short experiences, thoughts and fantasies" by posting short text messages along with photos and video via IM, text message, or regular old fashioned emai. (Unlike Twitter, however, you're encouraged to tell folks you're playing with yourself under your desk at the very moment you're writing your message without having to worry that people are going to think you're a total perv.) Of course, a service like this is pretty much only as good as the community that grows around it, and so far things seem kind of sparse. Nonetheless, if you're consumed with the urge to let a fellow lonely masturbator in the UK that you just rubbed one out to some old Melissa Joan Hart photos you might want to give it a try. (Though if you are in fact masturbating to old Melissa Joan Hart photos, maybe you should keep that information to yourself instead of sharing it — no matter how new and exciting the technology might be.)

Fleshbot Comments: Stalking Made Easy

If you arrive at Beauty And Sin after seeing the "amateur" tag on this post hoping to see plenty of down-and-dirty girl- (and guy-) next door action ... well, you're probably going to be a little disappointed: it says right there on the splash page that "started as an art project to explore the line line between art and obscenity" and is "an online community for people to upload and share nude photos of themselves" instead of, you know, a dirty porn site. Which is all great as far as we're concerned; after all, part of our mission here at Fleshbot involves getting people to take their clothes off as often as possible. We're a little confused, though, about that "sin" part of the title: are they trying to infer that there's something inherently sinful about getting naked? Or that maybe, despite their strict "no sex, no oral sex, and no masturbation", we're all going to hell for getting turned on by the beautiful bodies on display here? We'll let you be the judge

Pollen, dairy products, dirt pipe milkshakes, certain lube ingredients, cat dander: these are all allergies we can sympathize with, but there's nothing we're more allergic to ourselves than a full-time day job. So when we heard that Fleshbot contributor Audacia Ray went out and got herself a gig at new social networking site Peeq, our interns nearly went into anaphylactic shock fearing a similarly employed fate. Their fears were soon put to rest, however, with the usual set of restraints and forced viewings of "Anal Hell"—not to mention the fact that Peeq is a social community that actually embraces sex, as opposed to certain other ones that run in fear (read: censor/shut down user accounts) at the peep of a nip. Oh, and did we mention the totally hot galleries they're featuring, like the first two from Steve Diet Goedde and William Bright? Maybe it's not such a bad job after all.

Besides the obvious things that Google is doing for the internets these days—like megastorage at Gmail and that nifty floating desktop sidebar in Vista—there's also Google Groups, which has become a treasure trove of information and (more importantly) images for tech-savvy 'mos everywhere. One of our favorites is the Major Muscle group, described as "pictures of hard-core male bodybuilders, amateur musclemen, strongmen" where "frontal nudity and hard-ons are allowed but no sexual content." Of course, that whole "sexual content" aspect means different things to different people; we'll let you decide for yourself how sexy things are once you check out the collection of material ranging from vintage COLT models to the latest Czech bodybuilders. Just make sure you set your preferences to "digest" if you decide to subscribe; otherwise your Gmail storage will start feeling the effects before you know it. All that muscle adds up quicker than you think.

It's getting harder for us with our advancing senility to keep every alt babe pinup site and community distinct in our head these days, what with all those Burning Dollz and Razor Babez and Genocide Girlz floating around us like so many pierced and tattooed helium-filled balloons everywhere we look. So how does a brand spanking new site like LazerBunny manage to get our attention? Simple—by calling themselves "an elite fake rock n roll band of real hot naked models appearing in a still movie faking real life (IRL) with real people", mixing it all up with fine art and MP3s, and featuring some of the cutest alt girls (like featured model-slash-porn starlet Pinky Lee) to come out of Philadelphia in a while, or anywhere else for that matter. Dada and Situationist-inspired smut never looked so good.

Get to know some of your neighborhood Lazerbunnies in our exclusive preview gallery after the jump.

Another day, yet another user generated content-based site featuring a bunch of amateur exhibitionists strutting, pouting, and yes, posing for the camera. You'd think we'd be tired of this sort of thing by now, but the newish Pose Party reminds us what's so special about smut in the digital age to begin with, what with its clean layout, enthusiastic (if not always grammatical) commentary, and selection of pics we haven't already seen on a bajillion other amateur sites before. There's a particular emphasis on the MILF-y and the BBW-y, so if you're looking for nothing but lissome coed types flashing their boobs on Spring Break you might want to look elsewhere. Good thing you have plenty of other places to look.
