ROZALIA Czernowitz – Austria-Hungary 1910 Oberkriminalrat Rudolf Krenek hated Czernowitz even more than he hated whores,the ones he controlled as much as the ones who worked for other pimps, the ones he hararassed and arrested when bribes were not paid on time. There were plenty of whores in the city, plenty of girls who were lured away by promises of glamorous work and easy money in Ottoman Istanbul … Continue reading City of Whores – Part One
This post was first published on Smutathon.com on 28th September 2019. Now reposted here His Twitter followers come and go, at least the vast majority that you either don’t know in real life or interact with to any great extent online. I long ago stopped keeping track of who had followed me or unfollowed me, but it was nonetheless a very pleasant surprise, a few … Continue reading When Bedford Went to Ottawa
Thoughts on a few thing I have read recently. I have been thinking a lot about crushes recently, and am working on a post on this very subject, so I found this by Meg John and Justin interesting thought provoking. I have crushes on people I know (although no one I now particularly well) but I guess I am not the only one to fantasise … Continue reading Sharing Our Shit 8th June 2019
“Well this is certainly a surprise” said Roxanne as he walked round me letting her fingers trail teasingly over my cock, “you certainly look a lot prettier than before, What’s your name now?” “Celia” I said, “I just kinda liked the sound of it.” “Well it’s been a while since you came as David. What can I do for you?” “Well I am not into … Continue reading Paying Her Dues
The Nordic Model is a bit like Brexit. The more discredited it is by facts and evidence, the more tenaciously its advocates cling to it. It is not entirely surprising that The All Party Parliamentary Group on Prostitution has recommended the criminalisation of the purchase of sex in its report on pop-up brothels. This group is chaired by Labour MP and evangelical Christian Gavin Shuker. … Continue reading Gavin Shuker Rides Again
Well not quite. I am not Millicent Martin, or for that matter David Frost and I have never been punched on live television as Bernard Levin once was . But I am on a post Eroticon blogging roll so I thought it was about time I joined in with Share Our Shit Saturday and had a look at the week that was and some of … Continue reading TW3
This post arises from the happy coincidence of two books I have been reading recently, books which, at first sight, don’t seem to have much in common. The first is Maya Angelou’s “See How The Caged Bird Sings.” We discussed it this morning at the monthly Birmingham Feminist Book Club. Part of a wide-ranging discussion revolved around literature as a means of self understanding, this … Continue reading Identity
This year seems to be quite big for anniversaries. I have probably heard enough about Sergeant Pepper and anyway always preferred Revolver. The 40th anniversary of the first Clash album passed yesterday with rather less fanfare but it is a milestone of its own particularly for those of us old enough to remember it (and buy it). A lot of the songs still stand up, … Continue reading He’s In Love With Rock’n’Roll Woah
This is a short story I wrote specially for the Eroticon reading slam. There was a certain amount of inspiration from a song, as older readers may notice. ‘Space travel’s in my blood’ she said, pulling off her silver boots, ’there’s nothing I can do about it.’ ‘Tell me about yourself, how you came to be doing this.’ ‘My name is Neptunia. I was born … Continue reading Another Girl, Another Planet
This is a post I originally published on the Everyday Whorephobia blog two years ago. Following the criminalisation of clients in Northern Ireland it appears that the flawed arguments of the sex work prohibitionists are enjoying a second wind. They remain however deeply flawed. One of the flaws is the naive faith in the police as agents of”rescue”. Melissa Gira Grant, in her book Playing … Continue reading Police and Thieves
