As a child of the fifties, what I knew as porn is a joke compared with what we have now. A person of the modern information age we now live in would laugh at what we looked at in the fifties. I mean can you imagine jacking off to the Maidenform ads in your mother's ladies magazines or maybe my favorite, National Geographic's pictures of naked African women....
"This is some funky stuff, alright," Detective Khadija Camara of the Dakar Metropolitan Police Force said to herself as she gazed at the eviscerated corpse of wealthy American businessman, socialite and investor Louis Michael Rosenthal. The man's pale, chubby carcass was a grisly sight to behold, and even though Khadija Camara had seen much carnage in her ti...
Marlon Cook didn't know what to expect as he entered the Brooklyn loft. He wasn't exactly sure why he let his friends talk him into this: no amount of money could offset the potential awkwardness of this situation. The aspiring actor had been friends with Chloe Donovan and Nicki Taylor for several months; the model and photographer—both Adelaide natives—had...
"Geoffrey, I'm so sorry about Felicia, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you," Francine Charbonneau said softly, and she gently laid her hand on her friend Geoffrey Darrell's arm. Geoffrey shrugged and looked at her, smiled faintly and then looked out the window. They were on the crowded number eight OC Transpo bus leaving downtown Ottawa, Ontario...
I was out shopping at the Saint Laurent Mall in the East end the other day and spotted a fine-looking Latin chick with a big ass walking by. Instantly she caught my attention, and I went over to holler. When you've recently been dumped by a female you gave your heart to, you can either sulk and bitch about it or you can be a man and move on. I chose to do th...
We were only a day away from the island now after leaving our small homeport some two days previous. The weather had been perfect; a steady ten to fifteen knot sou' easterly had enabled us to sail on a comfortable reach for most of the way. Our lovely 33-foot yacht 'Interlude' made steady progress averaging around six and a half to seven knots through the sl...
Chena Yang stood on the deck of her ship, arms neatly folded. Draped in her bright red admiral's robe, she surveyed her fleet, and for the thousandth time she swelled with pride. Dozens of junks, each one hundreds of feet long and with a rudder five times the height of a woman, rode the easterly winds across the great ocean. The mighty red square sails of t...
I stared at the serpent sculpted from the stone block, a serpent with an apparent hood of feathers. Scholars worldwide were in disagreement about the hood. Some maintained that this represented the feathered serpent of the Aztecs of South America, a creature today extinct, or at least a creature unseen in times recorded by the written word. Others vigorously...
Victoria stretched her arms and yawned idly, the cool Atlantic breeze ruffling her dress. The deep forest, something she'd never seen in England, rustled and quaked. Their Virginian song had played since they day they'd come ashore, and she hoped it'd never end. She traced a circle in the loamy soil, swinging the basket as she leaned against the thick trunk...
Rebecca and I met after college. I had just secured a good job at an engineering firm. I had my own luxury apartment in a nice part of the city. Rebecca was living with three roommates in a run-down part of the city. I managed to get her number at a bar. She was very drunk. We both were. The next day she didn't remember me, and it took me a while to get he...
