Dildo Shopping In 1655
What did dildo shopping look like in the 1600s? Probably not much like this fanciful illustration, but hey, we might as well run the visual that we have:
This artwork is from The School Of Venus, or The Ladies Delight, Reduced Into Rules Of Practice, which is a 1680 translation of a 1655 sex manual (using the term pretty loosely) published in French as L’École des filles.

Sophia Loren Making Pizza
Hey, random internet louts, I gotta question: why demand a sandwich when you could instead have Sophia Loren make you a pizza?
This photo is all over Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, Imgur, and a thousand social photoshare sites you’ve never even heard of. Which poses a considerable challenge to an intrepid provenance researcher like your not-so-humble reporter, because “Woot, Sophia Loren making pizza!” is emphatically not an attribution. However, I may be up to the challenge. Machine translation of this page seems to attribute the photo to Loren’s 1971 cookbook In Cucina Con Amore, which makes enough sense to be entirely believable.
The book is still available in many editions and languages — can anybody with a copy confirm that this photo appears in it?
UPDATE: After a helpful commenter Alexandra confirmed the photo did not appear in at least one edition of the cookbook, two different people independently took up this research challenge and triumphantly gnawed it into submission, getting us both a “photo not after” date of May 1955 and a “likely first place of publication” in a British magazine. Both Lena in the ErosBlog comments and Chloe Luv on Twitter found this picture that was shot in the same kitchen and photoshoot:
What’s more, they both identified it as the cover photo from the May 14, 1955 edition of the British magazine Illustrated containing a feature called “Sophia’s Pizza Pie”:
I am delighted beyond words that two different people reacted to my incomplete (and somewhat wrong) results from a hasty ten minutes of research and decided to do the job correctly. Thanks so much!
It turns out there’s at least one copy of this magazine available for sale on the internet. It’s one of my dreams (if-and-when the ErosBlog Patreon really takes off) to be able to follow up finds like this by ordering the paper artifact and making complete scans available for my readers, for my patrons, and for our digital posterity. But I can’t afford that sort of expenditures yet, so in the meanwhile, if anybody wants to procure that magazine and send it to me, I’d be happy to scan it on a “loaner” basis and return the paper artifact to its rightful owner.

Rescuing A Sword Dancer
This sexy sword dancer is via Kinky Delight:
Just a tiny bit of research turns up a page telling us that the art is part of an inside illustration from a 1963 Male magazine for a story called “WWII’s Boldest Kidnap Raid”. The artist is Emmett Kaye painting as Mort Kunstler (sometimes given as Künstler).

Fanny Hill: Free Audiobook Version
It has come to my attention that thanks to LibriVox, the people who provide free public domain audiobooks recorded by volunteer readers, there are not one but two different complete recordings of John Cleland’s Fanny Hill: The Memoirs Of A Woman Of Pleasure.
The first dates from 2006, runs to 9.5 hours, and is recorded by an assortment of volunteers who read different chapters. The second is from 2016 and features a single reader, who (to my ear) does a better job of bringing the somewhat archaic phrasings to life, while cutting about half an hour off the listening times. You may find these Internet Archive download links more convenient than the LibriVox ones:
Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (2006 rec)
Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (2016 rec)
Enjoy!

A Quiet Evening In: Pandora And Adele
Let’s be honest: you would enjoy having the kind of friends who might spend a quiet winter evening doing stuff like this. Somehow you just know that hot tea and purring cats are not far away:
What’s going on? Well, it’s a scene from Dreams Of Spanking, where all is explained:
Two topless women are engaged in a sensual game: one plays the canvas and the other the artist. Adele Haze lies on cushions, exposing her breasts and bare back – and it’s the latter that her lover will write on. Pandora Blake uses black ink and a brush to adorn Adele with intricate Greek lettering.
As Pandora’s calligraphy winds around Adele’s gorgeous curves, Adele must stay completely still, hardly breathing to avoid nudging Pandora as she writes her lines. In a Victorian school, ink smudges would mean a punishment for the writer. Here, the responsibility to avoid error falls on the writing surface. Pandora weaves her spell in words, and the magic of the moment mustn’t be broken. For each smudge, Adele will get a stroke of the cane.
When the text is complete — the first few lines of Homer’s ‘Iliad’ — Pandora carefully examines her work, stripping Adele naked so she can admire the slick black script that covers her body. Afterwards Adele bends naked over the punishment bench in the Scriptorium, exposing every inch of her bare skin. Pandora’s found some smudges…
Pandora’s blogging about the photoshoot tells us a bit more about the shoot. For one thing, we learn that Girl On the Net does Pandora’s copywriting (see above) which says a lot about why it’s so consistently excellent. (Great copywriting is an anomaly so rare in the porn business as to approach in this case the true meaning of “unique” in its most absolute hard-mathematical full-Highlander “there can be only one” sense.)
We also learned that Pandora doesn’t necessarily impose a storyline on her shoots at the time that she is shooting them:
I don’t know what story these images might tell. Perhaps we are lovers, or witches; perhaps I’m an artist decorating her for some sort of show, or perhaps she’s my submissive and I’ve set her the challenge of stillness and obedience. Perhaps we are students in some strange alternate universe where punishment lines are written not on paper, but on skin.
I’m still pretty sure there will be cats. And probably a fireplace.
