site on the Web", featuring Dare -- "A magazine for the 21st century woman -- a little edgier, a little more raw, a little more erotic than your typical women's magazine." Publishes quarterly, with a good mix of articles, art photography, and fiction.
gettingit -- described as a "daily humor/culture webzine" that reports on the strange, the sexy, the popular, and the pathetic. Libido Magazine -- Libido is "a literary answer to a horizontal urge" -- a journal of the erotic arts that publishes fiction, photography, poetry, fine arts, essays, interviews and reviews dealing in sex and sensibility. Yes, this is the same lovely Libido that we have enjoyed for years in print, now on the Web! Mind Caviar --"Dedicated to Sensual Pleasures of All Types for Discriminating and Intelligent Readers." Jamie Joy Gatto's "bi-friendly place" is a visual delight full of poetry, fiction, features, recipes and art. An impressive debut (Spring 2000). mouthorgan -- sex, gender, and culture commentary. Updated every Thursday, with fresh, provocative articles by Todd and Debby; mouthorgan also provides a reader forum for discussion. The Mysterious Mr. Lee Organization -- "An Erotica Site for the Discriminating Anonymous Reader." This is an erotic story site, and a very good one.. Clean navigation, beautiful design, and funny, mysterious explanatory text with an attitude. It's a free site, and there was almost no advertising when we visited. nerve° -- literate smut aims very high indeed, and certainly is among the best in the business. Very New York, but very well written, beautifully designed, and easy to navigate. Nightcharm -- reminds us of a hard-hitting gay male version of our own site; while we're certainly not identical, there's a similar attempt at honesty, exuberant sexuality, and intelligence. They're probably a little raunchier. We think you'll like them. The Position -- The new zine (6/00) for New York City's upcoming Museum of Sex bills itself as "the first mainstream sex magazine ever." Some might argue that point, but so far it's certainly full of interesting news, essays, erotic stories, and has probably the only retired Bishop that we know of who writes a sex column. Savage Love, In the Onion -- Dan Savage's outstanding, funny column of sex and weirdness, found here online in "The Onion," the home of weird & wonderful writing. Scarlet Letters -- a quarterly journal of femmerotica, this magazine is packed full of enthusiasm and excitement.

An impressive debut, with interesting writing and lovely art work. Zaftig! -- edited by Hanne Blank, Zaftig! Sex for the Well Rounded is a quarterly print and e-zine devoted to real bodies, real minds, and hot, interesting writing about sex that is truly one size fits all. No people should be without their own image: Zaftig! is devoted to celebrating the sexiness of people of all genders and orientations who don't fit the mass-media body ideal. Smart smut. Real bodies. Dig in.
Alternative, Porn & Other Good Things Asia Carrera -- award winning, well-designed, funny, very personal, sometimes touching site. It's very much adult film star Asia's world on the web. Kudos for (among other things) two wonderful phrases -- a subscription portion called "Asia Carrera's Really Boring Pay Section," and a reference to the lower eschelon of the adult web sites as "banner filled circle jerks." B & belle's BDSM Cafe -- free stories and pictures of the real kinky stuff, nicely categorized, from fetish to bondage to submissives to classics. Betty Dodson Online -- personal website for Betty Dodson, PhD., author of Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving. Everything we could ask for on a sexual professional's site. A lot of good material on sex generally, and masturbation in particular, three wonderful videos teaching female masturbation, and several forums; all presented with style, honesty, and a sense of humor. The Church of Tantra -- Everything you ever wanted to know about the world of tantra and forgot to even ask, including just how to obtain a 'sacred orgasm.'

A substantial library, forums, interaction, and a store, all carefully monitored to stay friendly and safe. JEN n DAVE's Home Page! -- a refreshing view of sex; the real, here-to-have-fun, not-a-glossy-package, smile-on-your-face kind. Lots of free pictures, a web cam, some commentary, and a lot of personality. You have to work hard not to love it. Patches' Place -- a site devoted to "watersports" (urination as an erotic activity). Easy to navigate, intelligently written, often funny, lots of solid information, and a breezy, not-a-fetish feel about the whole site. A fine place to visit if you're into "watersports," but maybe even more interesting if you're curious, but turned off by the usual treatment of these activities as a dark fetish. Persian Kitty -- over 130,000 free pics of, well, you know. Section 12 -- a BDSM community, bringing a distinctive voice to the Web and the world of kinky sex. Provides extensive resources for the casual visitor, as well as an open-yet-demanding environment of rich discussion and interaction for their members. Society

In operation since 1993, Toys in Babeland is one of the finest toy stores on or offline. vive la différence -- primarily sells condoms, billed as "Safe Sex Choices for Women." Signature item is a box of twelve assorted, but they also sell the Reality brand, lubricants, accessories, and an enticing sounding (but unpictured) item called a "pleasure mitt".
Coalition for Positive Sexuality -- The CPS was developed by a group of high school students who felt a need for more positive sex education. Tired of educational policies that restricted teachers from discussing issues such as safer sex and homosexuality, these teens took matters into their own hands and created "Just Say Yes," a booklet explaining everything the Chicago school system was not allowed to discuss. This site is a continuation of the work that began in 1992 with that booklet. Electronic Frontier Foundation -- EFF is one of the leading organizations in the fight to protect the civil rights of Netizens worldwide.

Scarleteen -- Straight answers to sex questions for teens (and their parents) -- an excellent resource for accurate, interesting explanations and discussions of all things sexual. Sexual Health Network -- The Sexual Health Network is a clearing house for information, advice and discussion of sex and disabilities. The site covers both non-sexual disabilities such as paralysis and sex-specific disabilities such as impotence, both physical and psychological disabilities.

Easy to navigate, very current, and often points you to things you'd have no other way to find. DungeonNet.com -- "The most comprehensive directory of BDSM websites in the world." Strictly a links site, but a very well designed one. Loads quickly, very neatly categorized, navigation is excellent, the index is well laid out, it has what appears to be a good search engine, and the advertising was minimal and tasteful when we visited. Definitely in the category of "do one thing and do it well" sites. Erotica Index -- a Yahoo style index for erotica. It has both links by categories and a good search engine, and the webmaster appears to have worked hard to screen deceptive sites out of the listings. The layout is good, and the advertising was non-deceptive and appropriately placed when we visited.

Console free, no deceptive advertising when we visited, and the navigation is very clean. Good source for beefcake photo sites. Lickerish Links -- an invitation only and well categorized links page, primarily specializing in picture and video links. All links to free sites, and a conscientious effort by the webmaster to assure that the sites are not links to links or console clogged. Naughty Lynx -- a Yahoo-style listing for adult sites Richard's Realm -- Easy links to more than 1500 quality sites with free pictures. Sinfoseek -- Links separated by category, very compartmentalized, with an adult search engine 2Wet Adult Links -- "The Easy Way To Sex On The Web." Designed for two-clicks-to-a-destination use. Good concept, and the advertising doesn't interfere with the working parts of the site. Lacks descriptions in some spots (which the webmaster says he's working on), and does pop up a half screen ad as you leave, but it's a particularly well planned and very functional links site.
