ErosBlog posts containing "kink"
September 6th, 2023 -- by Bacchus
Speaking honestly, I’ve sort of let my #pornocalypse coverage lapse recently. Not much has changed in years; corporate social media keeps tightening the noose, formerly adult-friendly places become less so. On the one hand we still have the old-fashioned open web, with the freedom to publish on adult topics but without much access to traffic or to the financial system. The freedom to sleep under a bridge, right?
On the other hand, we have the infamous five websites, which is where all the people are, and from which they mostly will not migrate nor follow any links.
Adult material and links are mostly not welcome there, on the five websites, except to the extent that that this material is disguised from the machine censors by cutesy emojis and twee circumlocutions. If you’re a “spicy accountant” or a “mattress actress”, a lover of “quink” or a “corn” aficionado, a fan of big eggplants or women whose peach icons sometimes spray cartoon raindrops, corporate social media is very much for you.
So yeah, I’ve grown tired of the #pornocalypse beat, and I’ve let lots and lots of pornocalyptic stories glide by without any of my commentary. But yesterday, Pandora / Blake (perhaps best known to ErosBlog readers as the director and publisher of Dreams Of Spanking), published an open Patreon post discussing their frustration at the recent deletion of their kink education channel on YouTube.
Blake’s treatment exemplifies the recent trend in #pornocalypse behavior by the major social media platforms that I first wrote about back in May:
Increasingly the hot new trend in #pornocalypse is social media platforms banning accounts and people not for what they posted/linked, but merely because of who they are. Biggest example was PornHub getting banned from Instagram despite having a whole team of lawyers and creatives making sure their Insta account broke no rules. It’s frustrating, and it’s why I never have the courage to try anything effortful on adult-hostile social media channels.
It used to be common for porn-hostile platforms to tolerate porn-adjacent people, sex educations, and even sex workers, as long as the platform’s specific TOS against adult material were complied with. For many people, this was workable; they’d ride the ragged edge of the TOS for months or a few years, getting specific posts banned and enduring shadow bans, until eventually (and with great pain) they’d lose an account after too many strikes and have to start all over again. You could make a living that way, if you didn’t tire. But, over time, I started noticing that specific TOS compliance stopped mattering. All over porn-hostile social media, people started losing accounts not for any specific violations, but simply because of who they were. If their public identity was too identified with adult topics, they would be banned without warning or appeal, never knowing which posts gave institutional offense. Thus, Blake’s experience:
I’ve been publishing videos on YouTube since 2014, throughout my campaigns against UK porn censorship and age verification. For the last two or three years I’ve been regularly posting original kink education videos, many of which I’ve accompanied with transcripts here on Patreon. The channel mostly consisted of these fully clothed talky adult education videos on topics ranging across consent, BDSM, porn, feminism, queerness, and organisational and self-care strategies. It also included video podcast style interviews with other educators, interviews with adult performers, political campaign videos, and a few carefully cut trailers for spanking films that showed no sex or nudity, but either clothed character interactions and plot snippets (in the case of multi-performer videos) or excerpts from clothed POV fetish talk videos. I suspect it was these latter videos that fell afoul of the content policy, but I have no way of knowing.
…
None of the videos on my channel included sex or nudity. I avoided posting links to any adult sites in the video descriptions, linking to Patreon and mxblake.com instead. … I’m furious that a channel 90% of which consisted of educational material about consensual pleasure and LGBTQIA issues has been summarily deleted without any option to review or edit the content. Was it just those few talky trailers which YouTube objected to so much, or is the entire project of BDSM education in itself too risqué for YouTube?
My speculation is that the answer is “neither”. Rather, I suspect that one or more videos generated enough algorithmic red flags to fall under human eyes, and the human in question applied the new-ish unofficial #pornocalypse policy that’s been spreading so rapidly throughout corporate social media: “If the entity who posted this is any kind of pornographer or sex worker, nuke their whole stinkyporny channel and get them off the platform. Fuck the terms of service! Those words only mean what we pay them to mean, no more and no less.”
For me, the event that dropped the final scale from my eyes was when PornHub got banned from Instagram. If it ever made sense to go dancing with the social media devil while accepting your periodic lumps from the censorship algorithms, it no longer does, in my opinion. PornHub has a whole professional social media team, complete with content creators, editors, and as much legal support as they need. You can guarantee that they posted nothing that contravened Instagram’s TOS, not by the least jot or tittle. Did it matter? No. Throw them into the pit! You and I? We’re not going to fare any better.
I don’t have any solutions to offer, and anyway Blake explicitly isn’t asking for any. So I’ll leave you with Blake’s powerful summary of the state of the #Pornocalypse in 2023:
I mourn the loss of the open internet that was promised us in the early 2000s. My cyberpunk dreams of open peer-to-peer communication and free expression have been repeatedly thwarted, and I’m so angry about it. Fuck Google, their YouTube takeover, and their long-standing policy of devaluing adult sites in search results. Fuck Elon Musk for turning Twitter into his own personal ego trip, and a hotbed of Nazism and transphobia. Fuck Meta for taking over Instagram and enforcing their “family friendly” policies in a way that forces grown adult sex educators to talk about “s3x”, “quink” and “spicy corn”. Fuck Tiktok too, while I’m at it. I hate that in order to reach an audience we’re forced into these privately-owned silos which loathe everything to do with consensual adult sexuality, and which have the power to remove our access to social connectivity at the whim of a badly-trained algorithm.
All of this, every word.

Recent posts at Bondage Blog collate several amazingly kinky images from the yearbook of an early-20th-century school for young women. There’s a lot of not-so-very-repressed female horn energy in this collection! Examples include:
- From this post, a sorority member trussed in ropes near a blazing cauldron as eerie skeletal figures look on.
- From this post, a blindfolded sister with shackles around her wrists is dragged by a chain across a spooky landscape by a ghostly Death figure.
- In this post, all pretense is abandoned. The ladies of Delta Sigma have straight-up drawn themselves wearing iron collars and chains to shackle themselves to each other.
Does anybody else feel an urge to spelunk themselves into old yearbooks on a hunt for more lightly-coded erotic treasures?

If you weren’t there, it’s difficult to describe just how bizarre and wonderful the open web was, before the social media era. It was totally normal to find fetish dolls described as a “web-art project”:
Sadly, other photographs that were on the site in 2001 never made it into the Internet Archive.

It’s that time of year! The Love Hurts sale from Kink.com is back for 2023 with special Valentines discounts as low as $5.99 a month.
Although the sale price is great, I’m honestly even more excited to see signs that after a bit of pandemic slump, Kink.com is once again releasing some really fine shoots that are visually quite spectacular. Fans in the shoot comments are buzzing about fancy new cameras shooting at 60 frames per second, although I can’t find any official comment on that. I did find this promising tidbit:
We will be re-launching our kink blog soon to help with communicating new channels, shoots, series and some exciting new products. 2023 Kink is getting Kinkier.
All in all, it sounds like a good time to get a Kink Prime membership and take advantage of the Valentine’s Day sale pricing!
One of the new shoots I quite like features Tommy King and Tommy Pistol as husband and wife in Compromised: Interrogating His Spy Wife. It works for me as a sexy kinky-romance roleplay:
Professional spies Tommy King and Tommy Pistol are sleeper agents in deep cover as a married couple. When Tommy Pistol suspects King has been compromised, he has no choice but to conduct the kinkiest and most rigorous spousal interrogation. First he tries face fucking and a good spanking, but she won’t crack. So he ties her up extra-tight and goes to town on her pussy with his tongue, fingers, cock, and even his gloved fist. When that doesn’t work, he moves on to some rigorous anal penetration. He never does get anything out of her except orgasms, but it’s a hell of a way to spend date night at the safe house!
For this he probably didn’t even need to tie her up:
Perhaps the black rubber gloves are a bit menacing, though.
I might question his skill as an interrogator, but I’d say he’s really coming through (so to speak) as an attentive husband:
Splashy-splashy!
He gets husband points, I think, for putting another good “stay in for Valentine’s Day” date night on the books.

Since we are currently enjoying the ErosBlog 20th-anniversary year, and because the 2022 Kink.com “Naughty and Nice” holiday sale just started, I thought it would be fun to look back at kinky Christmases past. It turns out that ErosBlog has featured Kink.com content during no fewer than eight previous festive-holiday seasons:
- In 2020 we got a “used, sticky, happy” blonde tied up under the Christmas tree with the other presents. But not until she enjoyed the Christmas Eve bondage gangbang that she had been wanting for years.
- In 2019, Santa done fucked up! He dropped down the wrong chimney and let himself get captured by a bored and lonely MILF-dominatrix. He ended up getting a merrier Christmas than he bargained for.
- Also in 2019, we found a very large gift-wrapped box under our tree. Inside? A stunning brunette, a buzzing Sybian, and a whole lot of orgasms.
- Also in 2019 (heck, that year was pretty much a kinky advent calendar) we got three anal-obsessed lesbians having a slumber party under the Christmas tree. Not much slumbering transpired. Fortunately, the elf on the shelf had a camera inside, so this holiday cheer got captured for us all.
- Back in 2012, we got a blonde with big tits and a Santa hat riding a Sybian for our libidinous entertainment. She reminded me of “Penny” from Big Bang Theory, but the actress on the orgasm machine was not actually Kaley Cuoco. Even Santa Claus has limits to his power.
- In 2010, the kinky Christmas festivities involved two dommes and three helpless himbos. It was an energetic celebration with more than one good hard holiday spanking!
- In 2009, we found out that Santa is a sadistic bastard. He keeps shackled slavegirls in his workshop to pack his toys and polish his knob and satisfy his every sexual whim. These whims, it turns out, are both numerous and inventive.
- In 2007, I shared a kinky porn shoot that featured the very thing that I wanted for Christmas. Surprisingly, the object of my desire was not the lovely lady chained to a blowjob post, although I never say “no” to opportunities such as those. Nope! The focus of my lust was the vintage antique ceramic-and-metal tractor sign on the dungeon wall. What can I say? The heart wants what it wants.
Merry kinky Christmas!

I’ve seen a lot of “novelty” risque or even XXX playing card sets in my time. In some times and places, they were just about the hardest-core porn you could find to buy. Tourists visiting the fleshpots of urbanity liked to buy them to take back home to Squaresville, USA. But this is the first time I knew that they made kinky sets featuring lots of dudes in bondage:
Photo is from @queensofthewild, who writes:
Discovered these in a drawer when I was clearing out my grandma’s house and suddenly it all makes sense why she eagerly asked me about “what hurts more” in impact play a few years back when I told her what my job is.
My assumption is that these were published as a gay-male-gaze product, but the metaphorical street finds its own uses for things, as perhaps Grandma did also.

I just about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw the banners for Kink.com’s Halloween Sale this year. The theme is apparently “cartoonishly-haunted assholes” and if a hairy eyeball in one performer’s privates doesn’t make you laugh, the waving technicolor tentacle in the other one’s anus really ought to!
Tentacle sex is not unheard of in the vast Kink Unlimited porn library, but it is somewhat rare. Nonetheless I was indeed able to find a couple of shoots in which a pair of fan-favorite Kink performers took on some huge sucker-y tentacles on the Fucking Machines channel. Here they are: Sensi Pearl’s tentacle-sex shoot and Katy Kox’s tentacle-sex shoot too!
Perhaps you thought that the waving purple ass-tentacles at the top of the post were as over-the-top as it was possible for a porn-marketing graphics department to get. If so, I’m sorry, but I am forced to help you revise your thinking. You haven’t seen a properly haunted asshole until you’ve seen three gaseous ghosts taking advantage of a pornified anal-dilation situation to escape from their accustomed hellish colonic depths:
None of this Halloween levity nor any of the totally-sophisticated implied fart jokes should distract you from the serious bargain that this sale represents. For the spooky low price of $66 for six months (regular price is about forty bucks for one month) you can join Kink Unlimited, and they promise to offer you that same low price at rebilling time until, as they put it with appropriate holiday flavor, you die! The applicable coupon code is “Kink666” but if you follow any of the links in this post, you should expect to find that code pre-populated for you and the sale price offered automatically. (Until November 2, when the sale ends.)
