Tentacles With A Touch Of Class

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:45:52 EDT

On the spectrum of WTF-class kinkery, tentacle porn is still one thing that gives even diehard porn fans a bit of pause. But maybe it's all in the presentation? After all, pouring a bucket of writhing squid all over a bound shibari model isn't exactly what many folks would call foreplay. But what if the pictures were in black and white? And maybe featured some gauzy soft focus and beautiful busty models? Photographer Linda Lieberman probably wasn't shooting her own title on Genki Genki or anything, but these nude portraits of women and their cephalopod friends might help some of the more squeamish among you ease into the concept. And she even branches out into shellfish and other creatures of the sea in case your taste runs more towards things like crab!

Looks like the venerable tradition of Japanese...

Looks like the venerable tradition of Japanese tentacle porn isn't just confined to dirty manga or the occasional video clip anymore—you can now enjoy all that hot slithery action on your Nintendo DS screen too! We're still holding out for someone to create a Wii version using motion sensors and a balance board for that extra added touch of realism, however. Just think of all the calories you'd burn off trying to escape from your virtual octopod paramour's evil clutches ... (kotaku.com)

Neolestat: Artistic Nudes For Your (Sorta) Wild Side

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:49:43 EDT

Naked lady pictures are really great and all, but when anyone with a camera and a naked lady can do it, how do you make yours a little more interesting than the norm? Well, Neolestat—who is actually photographer Andy Craddock in web disguise—does it with a variety of beautiful, but not necessarily professional models, an aversion to Photoshop filters, and a playfully kinky vibe that adds some spice to his images while still keeping it simple. Oh, and maybe an occasional octopus on the vagina. Honestly, you can never go wrong with a few extra tentacles.

Mandy Morbid Makes All Your Tentacle Sex Fantasies Come True

Jonnobot — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:28:07 EDT

As even the most casual of porn and kink fans know, tentacle sex has a long and storied history; all too often for the more literal-minded among us, however, those tentacle sex fantasies are usually depicted via brightly colored cartoons or clumsily rendered CGI. (Unless you're talking about certain infamous Japanese videos, but we prefer not to talk about those until after lunch.) Leave it to punk porn princess Mandy Morbid to make a tentacle fuck video that's actually pretty hot even if you've never given much thought to what Cthulhu's sex life might be like. (And for those of you who point out that whatever it is she's fucking is nothing more than a plastic skull and a couple of lengths of plastic tubing ... well, we told you it was a fantasy, right?)

Kaos Beauty Klinik: Fetish Art By Richard Kadrey

Jonnobot — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:31:51 EDT

We might be the ones with the kinky reputation in the extended Gawker Media family, but it was our science fiction-huffing siblings at io9 who discovered the surreal and not unincidentally sexy work of fantasy artist Richard Kadrey, whose Kaos Beauty Klinik is a strange and lovely place full of masked tempstresses, auto-erotic fantasy babes, and all sorts of hot tentacle-on-girl action. While we're glad to have other folks in the office sharing our beat, we have to warn them that posting pictures of topless women in gas masks and plastic wrap isn't all fun and games—before they know it, they're totally going to be sitting at the Weird Table with us at the next family get together.

It took us a minute to figure out that this story about octopus sex was actually about octopi having sex with each other and not about humans going tentacle crazy. Even worse was the realization that we were also a little disappointed. (guardian.co.uk)

Tentacle Sex Explained

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:26:11 EDT

Why are the Japanese so obsessed with tentacles? Maybe it's because you can't even sell them anti-itch remedy without one trying to slide itself up your skirt. Those buggers are pretty, um ... handsy? (Video below.)

Porn Valley Dispatch: Lana Croft Says No to Tentacles

Gram Ponante — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 16:46:32 EDT

This weekend, we interviewed delightful Filipina pornstress Lana Croft on the set of David Aaron Clark's "No Man's Land 6: Asian". It was important to know if the Tagalog-rapping beauty was most often typecast as a geisha or a schoolgirl in the porn's eye view of the world. Then we wanted to know if she was a tentacular or a tentacle-free schoolgirl, thus exhausting the permutations of that niche.

Autodestruct: Sexy (And Strange) Pinup Art by Paul Richards

Fleshbot — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 12:40:24 EDT

It might not be totally accurate to call Austin-based Paul Richards a pinup artist per se—his portfolio includes plenty of examples of work that doesn't fit into that category, like puppies and pumpkins and assorted ghosts, ghouls, and goblins. And fans of traditional pinup work may find themselves a bit discomfited by some of his more outrageous sexy creations, like eight-nippled raygun-toting alien babes or hot Chthulu-on-space chick action. As far as we're concerned, though, the art of pinup illustration is a constantly evolving one—which is to say that as much as we admire the traditional cheesecake kind, we can't get enough of things like eight-nippled raygun-toting alien babes and hot Chthulu-on-space chick action. So let's hope the talented Mr. Richards keeps bringing us more of it. (And did we mention that he accepts commissions too?)
