Violet Blue Hearts (and Maybe Other Organs) Seattle
Profilic sex writer and all-around erotic person Violet Blue was in town for Hump 2! We'll let The Stranger use her positive comments to toot their own horn -- they're so good at it!
We were more interested to see her overall positive impression of Seattle's sex-positive scene. Turns out that, despite our lame-ass strip clubs, Seattle has enough forward-thinking erotic happenings going on to impress someone who makes a living thinking about sex and sex-related things. (Note: The links that follow? jJust assume they're not safe for work.)
Nice job, Seattle, and all the more evidence that we have no excuse other than inertia for our uncreative, unimpressive strip clubs.So Seattle -- thank you. Thank you for all of this and more:
* The Stranger: Dan Savage and infamous Savage Love, Mistress Matisse, Lippy Imp.
* Jane's Guide -- Jane Duvall's site with a terrific Seattle sex events section.
* Lots of people make porn in Seattle.
* But there's more porn made here, as in sex machines and teledildonics -- The Thrillhammer is here.
* So is House of Gord.* They make hot gay porn here, too -- thank you Daddyoohhh! Productions.
* Sex bloggers that blow my mind: Figleaf, Mistress Matisse, Twisted Monk, and there are many more.
* A big sexual cornerstone on the web is here: Sexuality.org (Society for Human Sexuality).* Seatle is the home of New Horizons, legendary swinger's club.
* At the heart of the matter: the Wet Spot.
* Babeland started here.
* The Lusty Lady is here.* I'm only skimming the surface of Seatle's scene -- check out this amazing Seattle sex guide.
* You can find buttloads of Tantra here -- Body Electric is the most famous.
* There are bathouses for the gayboys (like this one), and at least one dyke bar.* Holy shit, the Seattle Erotic Art Festival is famous, we post about it on Fleshbot every year.
* Must mention at least two great erotic artists from Seattle: Francisco Guererro and Krysztof Nemeth.
