Boys, Boys, Boys

Cattycorner from the Port Authority, three glorious floors of girls. I liked to stroll through the main floor, then go upstairs. Live Models Working Their Way Thru College 25 Cents.

My first times in the shop, I didn’t see the staircase to the basement. It was loud down there, raucous. I crept down the stairs, poked my head inside.

All the noise stopped, the girls looked at me.

One girl had the slender waist of a teen, her shorts far below her navel. Cut shoulders, slender, muscled arms. The silence humbled me. I plodded ahead.

Someone laughed, a deep hearty sound, and the boisterous celebration resumed.

I felt relieved. Free to look around: Sweaty breasts, narrow hips. Platinum wigs. Halfway through the hall, a girl put her shoulder into my back, pushed me into a booth.

I laughed to mask my alarm.

She mashed her soft breasts into my chest, cupped my cock in her hand. I wanted to kiss her, taste her breath, her tongue—but she held back.

Which confused me, until I got to the end of the hall.

Where a muscular black girl grinned—

lowered her panties, raised her skirt

—and showed me her cock.

Forty Second Street, 9 a.m.

I slipped through Grand Central crowds, heading west. Night job finished, I dodged the beautiful people heading to their day jobs. Something hot rolled in my loins, like a shot of whiskey, or that first dip on a rollercoaster.

Early morning was the best shift. You never knew what you might find. I’d seen a fat woman once—sweaty, heaving layers of flesh. Too big for the booths, she sat on a stool in the narrow hall.

I liked girls my own age best—especially the new ones.

On a tight budget, I’d buy tokens for a girl in training. Two, three dollars. Take the phone in my hand. Watch her eyes as I’d whisper, unzip my fly.

If I saw fear, I’d try to be calming. Sympathetic. “You’re beautiful,” I’d whisper.

If I saw shock, I might snort. Say something vulgar. Sometimes she’d hang up, and then I’d jack my cock and laugh, the phone still tucked against my ear.

Sometimes, though, I’d see shame. Rosy cheeks. A tilt of the head, darting eyes.

And then my breath would catch. My mouth’d go dry.

And I’d watch her.

Stroke myself.

Say nothing. Nothing at all.

Proud to present our latest title, A Good Girl is an Easy Sacrifice

This is the cover from our latest story.

A Good Girl is an Easy Sacrifice is the story of Johnny Manley. He has moved from the small town of Carnal to NYC for unknown reasons.

Johnny wants to be able to fall in love, but somehow it never seems to work out. He is a nice guy, a real sweetheart. His problem is that he has unrealistic expectations about women. He’s a romantic. He loves good girls and it’s killing him. Slowly, surely, tearing him apart. Johnny needs to reach down inside and find a way to assert himself with the ladies. Tonight he plans to do exactly that.

He Sends His Regrets

He Sends His Regrets is in the March edition of  Story Gallery over at the Erotic Readers and Writers Association (ERWA).

I’ve been using the writing group hosted at ERWA, and those fine editors asked for permission to run this story in their monthly update to the website. What an honor for someone new to the group! I am humbled.

However, be warned: the story features rape and is not for the faint of heart. Here is the disclaimer ERWA is running at the top of the page:

Please note: “He Sends His Regrets” pushes the limits of content restrictions for [ERWA]. It contains a deeply disturbing depiction of rape, and regret. So why are we featuring this story? Because it is a powerful tale of remorse and shame, and a fine example of skillful writing from a talented author.

The story is only going to be available (on the ERWA site) during March in 2013. If you miss it, fear not! It’s a sneak peak from my upcoming collection Dirty True Confessions, which should be available . . .

real soon now.

I hope you like it.

EDIT: the March edition of Story Gallery is down, but you can read He Sends His Regrets in Dirty True Confessions (available now at Smashwords and Amazon).

Pilgrim Press proudly presents its new logo

Is it bad ass or what?

I just love it. When I first saw it earlier tonight I chuckled. And then I started laughing. I couldn’t stop grinning. It was just crazy. I really like it. It’s a cock tower. And it has a little archway at the base! God, that’s so fucking awesome. And those two “sisters” are sitting just over the horizon, waiting for some intrepid pilgrim to summit them.

Here is an excerpt from the exchange I sent to our artist earlier today:

[H.G. Lightly] and I have struggled with identifying an icon and have thrown up our hands. We were just discussing it this morning and I’d like to share our experiences with you, to help you figure out what might work better for us, and to prevent us from going down the wrong path.

Pilgrim Press doesn’t really lend itself very well to an obvious image. We tried all manner of sexy pilgrims, boxy hats with buckles, turkeys, etc. None of it looks particularly sexy. All of it reminds me of some sort of wacky thanksgiving day orgy, but not in a good way.

We’ve tried printing presses. It’s difficult to make a printing press look sexy.

My partner suggested the idea of journey, a quest. Some sort of pilgrimage. I like that idea.

I was thinking of some sort of stone tower. Maybe if it echoed a penis that might be good. If it did, we’d have to add something female to the mix, so we don’t give customers the wrong impression.

I don’t know. It’s a dilemma.

And that my friends is all it took. Our artist is a genius. And incredibly generous. His rates were incredibly reasonable, especially given he’s such a talented man.

I also love the “bouncy” letters in the new banner ad. If we ever move to print books, I’m going to make sure that cock tower and boob mountain are featured prominently on every spine.

List of Pornographic Acctresses by Decade

Wikipedia has got it all. I wondered what sort of names pornographic actresses might use or have used and so I Googled it. Wikipedia had my answer.

There were six actresses doing porn in the 60s. Look at what happened by the turn of the century. So many pornographic actresses it’s difficult to count how many. And there doesn’t seem to be any pattern to their names.

Is this not progress? What will this decade hold?

Pilgrim Press Gets a Logo

Well, we’re working with a guy. And he’s good.

But, and this is the thing, he’s hard to get a hold of. I was discussing the deal with him the other night and the IRC server died. He put together a few initial suggestions (pictured). I want a banner image for the blog and a square image for the Pilgrim Press profile picture on Smashwords and wherever else.

These fonts look fine, but it’s not finished.

The artist based them on my requirements of sexy and dark. He had originally asked for three qualifiers but I couldn’t think of a third at the time. Now I realize, we need something a little more playful. Sexy and dark could be stories that feature nothing but rape and nobody wants that.

The image needs more FUN. Something PLAYFUL

I propose some nipples in the space over the L and the G in Pilgrim. Or maybe an ass crack unobtrusively slipped in somewhere. Maybe the head of a cock in the P in Press? I don’t know. But I’m hope to keep working with the guy and come up with something good.
