Make mine an arse

Given that 70, 83, 64, 97 per cent of the interwebnet is porn sites (hey, it's traditional to make up the figures), it makes sense that there should be "erotic" blogs. I suspect most of them are as real as letters to the editor in jazz mags (there is a suggestion out there that Belle de jour is the fabrication of a well-known Brit lit type, and I can well believe it), but that suspicion may be fuelled by pure envy of the (over)active sex lives on display.
I find reading about fucking a bit dull. It's the whole erotica/pornography deal. The shiver, the frisson, is good reading; the poke is not.
There is a bit of an obsession with anal sex. This slightly disturbing work of fantasy seems wholly stuck on the idea of anal as the final frontier. He's not alone (Jan 22 if you want to read the stirring story of cumwhore's first anal sexperience).
Most of these bloggers are into BDSM. I'm not sure it's a coincidence. I don't think they could talk about sex if they didn't think what they were doing was transgressive.

Making the ordinary magical. That is what I dream of achieving. It's what I aim for. I'm not so sure that there's any joy in making even the extraordinary -- if you believe a bit of dressing up, handcuffs and bootybanging are extraordinary -- grindingly ordinary.
