10 Years Of Sex Blogging: Best Of ErosBlog 2002

It has suddenly dawned on me that by early next October, ErosBlog will have been up for a full ten years. There most likely will not be a parade.

However, I did think it might be fun, from time to time as the year progresses, to dip into the most ancient archives and pull out a few of the more interesting posts. There’s no specific schedule for this; we’ll just see how it goes.

Herewith, some fun posts from 2002:

• Inaugurating my tradition of shamelessly reblogging sexy excerpts from other blogs was a bit by Anil Dash explaining what fancy hand-held shower nozzles are really for: Because Then She Won’t USE It
• A very dirty animated cartoon, one of the first .gifs to make it onto ErosBlog: And Making Sure It Stays Clean
• A fun recipe for the ultimate aphrodisiac for married women, concluding with a jokey flourish: Sex Potion #9.
• Perhaps ErosBlog’s first foray into celebrity gossip, in the form of a press acount about the Spice Girl who enjoyed a good sex spanking: Spanking A Spice Girl For Jesus
• Who can forget the words of the Prophet Mohammed (a serious true quote as far as I could tell at the time, but subject as always to the perils of translation) approving of rear-entry sex as long as it wasn’t up the butt: From Behind, But In The Front
• The first serious rant on ErosBlog, I do believe: Bardex — The Rectal Catheters For Assholes
• The unforgettable story of a wife who put candy in her pussy, and the husband who didn’t go in after it: “Husband, A Towel! Lickety-Split!“
• The first discussion of a male sex toy on ErosBlog: The Fleshlight: Better Living Through Technology
• Still the hilariously worst book title ever, after all these years: The Dangers Of Self-Publishing
• My first effort to grapple with the ethics of blogging about stories that involve real world sexual atrocity (like Uday Hussein and his pony girls) but which also contain elements of what I’d call fetish fuel nowadays (though I didn’t have the phrase back in 2002): The Uses Of Pornography
• And finally for now, some good clean dirty fun, in the form of a link to the slashy notional diaries of LoTR characters: I’ll Never Look At Carrots The Same Way Again

I’m so glad nobody can make me cough up a list of the early blog posts that I’m the most sheepish about…
