La Libido" is the tale of four lady journalists who decide to hire a male prostitute over the course of a weekend. (Yes, it's a French film.)

Alas, the film is not yet slated to come to a US audience (and this clip is, sadly, not subtitled), so we're unable to enjoy the film in all its glory. Truly a pity: we have a feeling it would put "Sex and the City" to shame. And then some.

<![CDATA[Girl Sells Virginity, Secures Fame And Fortune]]> Hey, remember Natalie Dylan? No? Yeah...we kinda forgot all about her too. Quick refresher: a year ago, Ms. Dylan put her virginity up for auction (to pay off student loans, natch). And now it seems she's found a winner.

Yes, Natalie's deflowering has been sold to an American man for one million dollars. Yes, it seems like a lot to us, too, but hey: props to Natalie for scoring so much cash. Also in the works? A book deal and a biopic. Man, if we'd known auctioning off our ladyflower could be that much of a get rich quick scheme, we never would have pursued this whole writing scam.

<![CDATA[Strippers On Strippers (And The Economy)]]> It's an old chestnut that sex work is recession-proof: but how much truth is there to that conviction? The Rumpus takes a look at how topless dancers are faring in this economy in their latest feature, Recession Strippers.

A series of stripper-on-stripper interviews (a refreshing change from the more common reporter-on-stripper interviews), Recession Strippers examines the relationship between strippers and stripping, offering perspective on what brings women into the business, what keeps them there, and, of course, how they're effected by changes in the economy. Up first: Laura Jackson, a girl whose been paid thousands of dollars to quit, but just can't give up the dancer's life.

<![CDATA["Tart Cards": How The World's Oldest Profession Advertises]]> Long before Craigslist's Erotic Services section gave sex workers an easy way to advertise online (and then, ahem, took it away), the sex workers of London were advertising their wares through a creative medium known as tart cards.

Often found on the walls of London's iconic red phone booths, these advertising cards have been around since the 1980's—and have evolved over time, as changes in printing technology have allowed them to become more sophisticated and complex. "Tart Cards" has collected more than 350 of these works of art, providing some background on how they came about, how they've evolved, and what, exactly, "a-levels" refers to. Curious? Take a sneak peek inside in the gallery below.

<![CDATA[PSA: Sex Workers Are People Too]]> You don't have to tell us twice that sex workers are people (what else would they be, mountain lions?)—but for those who haven't gotten the message yet, Audacia Ray has made this PSA.

Somewhat reminiscent of those "I'm a PC" ads, Ray's video reminds us that just because someone makes their living using their sexy bits, that doesn't mean that they don't have regular, ordinary lives just like the rest of us. Maybe as follow up, she can make a video about how sex work is real work—you know, something to educate those who assume it's just lying around in your panties all day (really, people, that's what's know as blogging.).

<![CDATA[Sex Blog Roundup: Wanderlust]]> Madeline knows what you like to come home to. Also, big boobs.

Wan•der•lust: –noun
a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about.

You know that thing: even if you're spoken for, that itch—the innate desire to discover—persists. It's kinda why the Internet is so awesome. This week's picks from the best sex writing on the web feature all the glorious wanderlust you can handle, with none of the guilt. Sit back and relax; Madeline drew you a map.

TDs West Revisited and Other Notes

She was doing her thing without even taking out my dick. She was using it to get herself off, as most of the strippers do when they encounter my dick, by rubbing her clit against it as she slid up and down my leg. She succeeded in simultaneously getting both of us off using her method. Her cum juice oozed out and soaked my shorts along with my own jiz

Lovers Reunite

I proceeded to tell him that I was instantly wet at just the thought of him filling my ass with his beautiful cock. ‘really? Pull your pants down a bit. Let me feel how wet you are'

So I did. Sweet jesus. His fingers explored my soaking wet pussy like it was the first time. Driving along the Queensway at 100km/h with his fingers tickling my clit and reaching as much as he could inside me.

Confessions of an Adulterer

—-—-


Not Enough #7

"You're always so boring and vanilla, so ordinary, so run-of-the-mill. And right now I'm soooo fucking horny." She looked down at me with increasing anger, her eyes squinting in the darkness of the room. I could feel her skin against mine, the heat of her body cascading down on me as she knelt across my chest, her sex warmer still, the dampness just touching me.

Savannah 1:4 Sucking His Cock

She took her time with him, letting her tongue slide around his head before licking down his shaft. She teased him, feeling him pulse in her hand. She licked over the veins that ran up his cock, feeling the beat of his heart through his cock. She swirled her tongue up and down before finally allowing her lips to slip over the head of his cock. Her warm mouth, slick with saliva, pulled his cock inside. She slid her tongue around his head again as she pulled him in deeper. Stephan groaned as his length touched the back of her throat.

Dirty Little Mind

The Queen of Spades

Her sleek heels clik on the wet pavement as she crosses the street toward the hotel. Her hair is taut across her scalp, the long and swaying strands of her rich brown hair complementing the movement of her hips as she strolls. The sheer dark miniskirt is as tight as a drum's skin, holding her thighs in an embrace, accentuating her small and so perky derriere as its cheeks raise and lower with each sensual and graceful step she takes. She's petite, likely in college, and as the faintest smile is spread across her amber lips as she makes her way to the lounge.

Urban Roguery

Room 215

As he sat back, I reached over and started stroking his cock. It was a nice one, little longer than mine, and about the same width. He went ahead and lay back on the bed, and I stroked him to hardness. I couldn't wait any longer and started running my tongue up and down his shaft. Swirling it around the head, teasing and tonguing the frenulum, then taking him in my mouth and going down slowly. I dunno about him, but damn I am enjoying myself.

<![CDATA[The Itemized Deductions Of Sex Workers]]> To all of you scrambling to get your taxes in, here are some last minute tips from the pros on how to fatten up your return.

We haven't been able to figure out how to get our insurance company to cover the costs of our [hypothetical] cosmetic surgeries, but the sex biz has enlightened us to a new pocketbook saver. Write them off — as maintenance! And while you're at it, ask for tax breaks for all the condoms and lube you use, and even the new hot tub in the backyard, so long as you're making dirty films in it. Dirty films for work, of course.

<![CDATA[Hiring An Escort Is As Easy As Ordering A Pizza, And Other Revelations]]> Last night saw the broadcast of "Dirty Money: The Business of High End Prostitution," CNBC's special on the world of sex work—and, specifically, escorts who cater to rich and powerful men. Over the course of an hour, host Melissa Francis walked us through the ins and outs of modern sex work, explaining things like "girlfriend experience" and The Erotic Review to ordinary families all across America. (And did you know that it's as easy to hire an escort as it is to order a pizza? Can we get our next escort with onions and mushrooms, please?)

All kidding aside, the special was actually worth watching. Though it was—predictably—full of a great deal of sensationalism, it also took the time to interview sex workers and sex worker advocates, filling the the hour with sound bites from women like Veronica Monet and Elizabeth Bernstein. TV actually providing a well-rounded, honest look at prostitution? Amazing!

Most surprising moment of the night? Amid all the shock and awe, he special actually took the time to touch on serious issues, such as decriminalization, even taking the time to interview Carol Leigh, aka Scarlot Harlot, a noted sex worker's rights activist:

We're not sure if this special is a sign of things to come, or just a blip on the radar—but if more networks follow CNBC's lead, that can only be a good thing.

<![CDATA[NYC Sex Bloggers Get Even Sexier For A Cause]]> If there's anything we here at Fleshbot get a bigger kick out of than looking at the naked bodies of complete strangers, it's looking at the naked bodies of those near and dear to us. So we were extra tickled to hear about a cheeky new 2009 calendar project featuring not only some of our bestest friends and colleagues—including Jayme Waxman, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Audacia Ray, and Fleshbot Associate Editrix Lux Alptraum Herself—but several other "dynamic literary and sex positive women" who we look forward to getting to know that much better over the next twelve months or so.

It's all to benefit Audacia Ray's worthy Sex Work 101 public education project, and for a (very) limited time you can even sponsor one of the days on the calendar so that everyone who buys a copy will know when to celebrate your birthday or the anniversary of the first time you fapped it to an episode of "Wonder Woman". If you're hoping for full-on naked cheesecake action, you might still want to look elsewhere since we have it on excellent authority that photographer Stacie Joy will be shooting her subjects in sexy burlesque-style poses only. Which is just as well, because sometimes looking at some of our bestest friends and colleagues fully naked can get a little embarassing.
