Two on erotic entertainment this morning. Erotica finds home in mainstream publishing and Online games replace monsters with sex. The first just talks a bit about the rise of publishers of book form erotica, and how those stories have found homes in large chain bookstores, the second has a little bit of the "giggle, snerk" factor that keeps me from thinking any of the specific companies they talk about are actually going to break this market, but I think we'll see some inroads in the less directed MMORPGs soon.

Heh. I intend to check out Naughty America when and if it ever launches, but I don't expect great things. If they do get an audience it is going to have to come from the mostly online-game-naive, because so far the comments from the people who already play a lot of MMORPGS and such (at least as reflected in various game forums lately) have been "what is the point?"
On the other hand, this may be a thing where the lady doth protest too much and many of these people will be secretly sneaking off to find some cyber on the side.
Personally I have given up on the idea of decent online sexual chat, with or without the pretty pictures, for the simple reason that online sex is a verbal medium and the participants are, by and large, not up to it. I have tried, many times, and for the most part unless you find the one-in-a-thousand playmate, it just don't happen.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
