With Halloween less than a week away, it’s time to get cracking on a hot costume. It can be tough to decide just what to dress up as, but I’ve got you covered. I’ve curated a list of the hottest Halloween costumes.

Masked & Mysterious 

This is for fans of low-effort and low-budget costumes. All you need is a spooky mask, black pants, black boots, and body confidence (t-shirts are optional). You can spend the night ominously lurking in the background while you flex your muscles. And, if you are shy, it’s a great excuse not to talk much or just respond in short sentences. So, get your mask on and start showing off your hot body!

Slutty (Insert Job Title Here)

From slutty nurses to slutty tradies, this is one of the most versatile and fun costumes. All you need is some sort of uniform, and you’re ready to go. Pair it with a set of fishnet stockings and some heels for the hottest look. And don’t forget to leave a few extra buttons open on your shirt. Also, think of fun ways you can include the tools of the trade in your costume and night out. For example, if you’re dressed up as a slutty nurse, fill up some syringes with alcohol to use as shots throughout the night!

Vampires

Another classic costume is a vampire, but to make this outfit shine, I recommend ditching the cape and picking up some black eyeliner. A dark and smudged eyeliner is the perfect addition to any vampiric look. So grab some fangs, wear your hottest black or dark coloured outfit and become a creature of the night.

Angels & Devils

Are you a saint or a sinner? Well, on Halloween, you get to pick. All you need is a set of wings and either a halo or some horns. For an angelic outfit, wear white or soft pastels and keep your make-up light and sparkly. For the devilish, red and black are your colours for the night and dark, sharp make-up will add a wicked edge to your costume. Don’t forget to play up your costume throughout the night, especially if you can be the devil whispering in someone’s ear.

Sexy Animals

Our last suggestion was made famous by Legally Blonde, but you don’t have to be a bunny. Any cute animal will do, just find a pair of animal ears and maybe a tail to match. For the truly confident, you can wear lingerie or a bodysuit with tights and heels. Otherwise, matching animal print will do. Then spend the rest of the night running wild on the town.

You can purchase a range of costumes from specialty costume stores like CostumeBox. For sexier versions, try websites like Lovehoney. If you want to be thrilled and tantalised this Halloween, come on down to Harlots Canberra for our annual Halloween party on October 31st and November 1st. You can check out the gorgeous escorts we will have available here.

This year’s Adult Industry Choice Awards (AICA) is drawing close. Harlots Canberra is nominated for two awards, ‘Best Brothel’ and ‘Best Escort Agency’, so we thought we would tell you all about it.

History

Sebastian Ryan founded the AICA five years ago. His experience and knowledge of both the adult industry and event management made it the perfect venture. In the five years since its inception, it has grown and evolved into the industry’s “night of nights”. The awards up for grabs range from individual awards, like best touring escort or content creator, to awards for parlours and brothels. But it’s not just an awards night, it’s also an opportunity to network, build community and celebrate. 

In 2025, Ryan stepped back to pursue other passions. Million Billion Media then acquired the AICA. They plan to bring forth a new era of sophistication and inclusion to the awards.

What To Expect & What To Expect

This year’s award ceremony will take place on November 30th at the Brisbane Showgrounds and will be hosted by Rob Mills. Tickets for the awards cost $399 (with a discount to industry workers) and include red carpet arrival, a three-course meal, an all-evening drinks package and a premium gift bag plus complimentary entry to the SXhibition all weekend. If you can’t afford to make the trip to Brisbane, there are also live-streaming tickets for only $27, so you can watch the awards night from wherever you are. You can purchase tickets here. 

How To Vote

Voting for the AICA is still open until midnight on November 25th. You can vote every day for your favourite industry superstars, and you don’t have to vote for every category.  I recommend voting for Harlots Canberra for ‘Best Brothel’ and ‘Best Escort Agency’, but I could be a bit biased. You can cast your votes here. 

I hope you’ve found this insight into the AICA interesting. If you would like to see why Harlots is nominated for two awards, you can check out the escorts available this week here.

Looking for some recommendations for your next ‘Netflix & chill’ date? I’ve found the most successful movie selection is one that has you curled up next to each other seeking comfort. So I have come up with my top three hottest scary movies for you to enjoy.

Sinners

Sinners only came out this year and has just been added to HBO Max. It’s a fantastic vampire flick with a hot cast to match. You’ll follow twin brothers ‘Smoke’ and ‘Stack’, played by the ever-handsome Michael B. Jordan, as they return to their hometown for a fresh start. However, a dark and supernatural evil has come to town and threatens to destroy everything. It starts off pretty slow, introducing all the main characters and how their pasts intertwine before getting into the thrilling action after dark. A perfect mix of jumps scares, thrilling action and spicy sex scenes.

Jennifer’s Body

This cult classic is fun, freaky and a bit gory. It explores the complex relationship between best friends, especially when you add demonic rituals and possession to the mix. The movie follows Jennifer, played by Megan Fox, who begins on a murderous and cannibalistic killing spree after the mysterious events of a rock concert she attended with her bookwormish best friend Needy, played by Amanda Seyfried. When Needy finds out what Jennifer has been up to, she must find a way to stop her. Jennifer’s Body is one of my favourite comedy horrors and is definitely worth watching. You can stream it on Stan.

Scream

Scream is a classic slasher flick, mixing your favourite slasher deaths with a satirical sense of humour. You will follow Sidney Prescott, who is still dealing with her mother’s murder, as her small town is thrown into chaos by a serial killer wearing a ghost mask. The whole movie is sprinkled with jokes and nods to classic horror and slasher movie tropes. It is such a fun film to watch, and with 5 sequels, one more on the way, and a TV series in the franchise, it’s perfect for a movie marathon. You can stream Scream on Stan.

I hope you enjoy my scary movie recommendations! If you are looking for a partner for some ‘Netflix & chill’, you can see all the gorgeous escorts available this week here.

It’s October, which means the spooky season has begun! To get you in the mood, I am matching up some of your favourite monstrous characters with a hot romance.

Dracula

Is your favourite monster a bloodsucking vampire? Then I would recommend Bride by Ali Hazelwood. This hot and horny romance follows a dangerous alliance between Vampyres and Weres (aka werewolves) in the form of a political marriage. Misery Lark finds herself forced into marriage to the Were Alpha, Lowe Moreland, but was this peacekeeping alliance doomed from the start? Bride is the perfect read for lovers of biting and knotting, as well as readers who enjoy a bit of political intrigue with their smutty romances.

Frankenstein’s Monster

Are you a Frankenstein fan? Well, if you find a man-made monster enticing, then I would recommend Bad Guy by Ruby Dixon. This science fiction romance follows a clone built to be the fiercest of gladiators, but Crulden doesn’t want to win fights; he wants to claim the human slave who cleans his cell. But Mina wants her freedom, so what is a bad guy to do? This romance has a twisted male love interest and a good mix of smut and bloodshed. 

Ghostface

Do you prefer your love interests to stalk you in the night and chase you through the woods whilst also maintaining a quirky sense of humour? Then Navessa Allen’s Lights Out is perfect for you. Aly has a thing for masked men, but when her favourite thirst trap maker, The Faceless Man, posts a video from inside her house, she has to decide just how far her kink goes. This book is equal parts witty and steamy. I especially recommend the audiobook.

Jason

Lastly, for our slasher fans who love a bit of violence with their smut. I recommend Wicked Pursuit by Katee Robert. This novel is inspired by the fairytale Red Riding Hood, and follows Ruby, a mob princess who lives life dangerously, but what is she to do when she acquires a stalker who will kill anyone who touches what is his? This novel is very short on plot but full of smut! 

You can find all of this week’s recommendations on online retailers like Booktopia or Amazon. And if my recommendations have left you thirsting for some monstrous roleplay, you can find the stunning escorts available this week here.

Novelty sex toys can be lots of fun, and the most common kind are rose-shaped clitoral stimulators. But are they as good as they look? Well, I’ve tested one and here are my thoughts!

Aesthetics

This is where rose toys get top marks. They are so cute to look at! The design is simple and elegant. They are pretty easy to clean, as they are usually made from silicone, and the top section is often removable so you can reach all the nooks and crannies. You can even buy versions now that have a ‘stem’ which works as a G-spot stimulator or have egg vibrators attached (these don’t look as nice, in my opinion).

Size

The size of the rose toy is another bonus! They are quite small, so fit nicely in your hands and are easy to store. Also, most versions come with at least two different sizes for the head to fit different types of clits. So if you travel a lot or are short on space, this would be a great toy for you.

Stimulation

Now this is where the rose toy falls behind. For a newbie to clitoral stimulators, this would be great. I’ve found the vibrations to be pretty light to medium, so it still feels nice but isn’t super overwhelming. They are also very easy to use, with only a couple of buttons, and once you turn it on, you can just move it around your clitoris until you find the perfect spot for you. You can also use the vibrations to tease other parts of your body or those of your partner. However, if you have used other stimulators and often use higher settings, this might not work for you. 

Overall, rose toys are a great first toy and a really good choice if you are looking for something small and compact. You can find a range of rose toys in person at Harlots Canberra or on online retailers such as Lovehoney or Amazon. If you would like to try out your new rose toy with great company, you can see all the escorts available this week here.

Are you a gamer looking to spice up your sex life? Well, we have done some digging and worked out which video games are the best to play when your partner tries to distract you. There’s nothing worse than almost defeating a tough enemy only to lose concentration as your partner moves their mouth or hands in that way that makes your toes curl. So here are Harlots’s hot game recommendations

First-Person Shooters

Our first recommendation is first-person shooters like Call of Duty & Halo. The campaigns for these games aren’t usually very challenging, so it’s not a huge problem if you get a little distracted, but they are pretty violent, which may kill the mood. If you are an exhibitionist, you may enjoy playing in online multiplayer and hiding your pleasure. Just make sure you have your mic set to push-to-talk so you don’t scar an unsuspecting stranger.

Metroidvanias

Next up are Metroidvanias. Metroidvanias are action-adventure games that are non-linear and require you to obtain certain tools or abilities to unlock new areas or overcome obstacles. The term Metroidvania comes from two games that use these core ideas, Metroid and Castlevania. My preferred metroidvania is Hollow Knight. These games are usually more challenging than a first-person shooter, so require more concentration during certain puzzles or challenging fights but when just traversing the world, you can just sit back, relax and let yourself enjoy what your partner is doing to you.

Roguelites

If you are worried about the consequences of dying in your video game, then roguelites might work for you. Roguelites are RPGs that are often dungeon crawls, where you collect benefits on each run. When you die, these benefits can be used to permanently upgrade your abilities or items. This way, if you get too distracted in the throes of passion, you won’t completely destroy your progress. My personal favourites are Hades and Hades II, which are both fun and have hot character art. 

Simulations

Lastly, for our cozy gamers, I’d recommend simulation games. Farming sims are usually pretty relaxed, and if you get distracted, you’ll only lose a day in-game and maybe a small amount of resources. My favourite farming sims are Stardew Valley and Coral Island. Otherwise, you could try a dating sim to get you in the mood. These are usually point-and-click adventures, or if not, have very few time-sensitive tasks, so if you lose yourself to your partner’s machinations, it’s not going to ruin your dating chances. A big bonus of dating sims is also the hot artwork that will definitely help set the mood. My top two dating sims are Date Everything and Dream Daddy. 

Most of the games I’ve discussed can be found on Steam or on the PlayStation and Xbox stores. If you would like to test your concentration, come on down to Harlots Canberra and check out our Game Zone!

Let’s Talk Erectile Dysfunction

Today I’m tackling a tough topic: erectile dysfunction. ED can be hard (pun intended) to talk about; it’s a deeply personal issue and can feel very embarrassing. But let me ease your worries, while not normal ED is surprisingly common, and there are heaps of methods to help treat it.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile Dysfunction, aka ED or impotence, is the inability to get or keep an erection. It can affect up to 50% of men aged 40 to 70. Now the occasional failure to get an erection is normal and often related to alcohol, anxiety, tiredness or a combination of all three. However, if you are having ongoing issues, then that’s not normal, and you need to have a chat with your doctor. 

Causes Of Erectile Dysfunction

There are lots of different factors that can cause ED. Anxiety or depression used to be considered the main cause, but is in fact only the main cause in 1 of 10 cases. Most cases of ED are physical or anatomical, with ED being a symptom of another problem. Some examples of main causes are illnesses such as diabetes, MS, or high blood pressure. It can also be a side effect of surgery, like a radiation treatment or a prostatectomy, or a side effect of medications. Another leading cause is your lifestyle, like smoking, alcohol and obesity. So what are some treatments for ED?

Counselling & Therapy

While only the main cause in 1 of 10 cases, anxiety, depression and stress can seriously impact your ability to maintain an erection. Counselling and therapy can be a great way to combat these issues and may also help with your ED. 

Vacuum Erection Devices

Vacuum erection devices or penis pumps are a drug-free way of treating ED. They help by increasing the blood flow to the penis and can help create an erection that works well enough for penetration. However, they tend not to be as effective as medications.

Medications

While medications can be the cause of ED, some medications can also be the treatment. If medication is the cause, you can discuss changing your prescription with your doctor. However, there are a few prescription medications that can help improve the blood flow to the penis, famously the little blue pill. These medications won’t cause erections, but will help boost any erections you get. However, these medications can have their own side effects like facial flushing, headaches and sometimes muscle pain and reflux. There are also now versions of this medication that can be compounded into lozenges, which tend to be more effective. As always with medications, have a discussion with your doctor about what’s right for you.

Injections

For those men who can’t take oral medications, there are injections available. They can be a bit daunting as you inject them straight into the penis, but the needle is very small and most users find it surprisingly painless, a 1.1/10 on the pain scale. This injection takes about 5 minutes to kick in, forces an erection even if you aren’t aroused, and you’ll be hard for about 45 minutes. This medication is serious stuff, so you definitely need medical guidance before use.

I hope this helps you tackle ED and have those tough conversations with your doctor. For more information on erectile dysfunction, you can read more here. Or if you’d like to try out some of these techniques, you can see all the gorgeous escorts we have available here!

Do you have an adventurous spirit and a love for all things freaky and kinky? This week, I will be pairing up some monstrous sex toys with matching monster romances. 

Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic By CM Nascosta

For those just dipping their toes into monster romances and toys, I would recommend Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic by CM Nascosta. You’ll follow Moriah as she uses a breeding clinic to help get pregnant after her recent divorce. The hot twist? This clinic uses werewolves and believes in insemination the old-fashioned way. This werewolf romance is great for beginners, as the main male love interest is mostly human with some fun enhancements downstairs. You can pair this read with any werewolf-themed dildos or dildos with knots. 

Bull Moon Rising By Ruby Dixon

Next up, we have Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon. This smutty romance is set in a fantasy world where digging for magical artifacts is a dangerous yet sought-after profession. Our main character, Aspeth, strikes a bargain with hulking minotaur Hawk. He’ll be her husband and chaperone, allowing her to become an apprentice if she helps him through his rut. If you have a size kink and love stubborn muscular men and buxom women, this is the series for you. For the full experience, I would recommend any large or bull-themed dildos.

Stalked By The Kraken By Lillian Lark

Into tentacle dildos? Then Stalked By The Kraken by Lillian Lark is the novel for you! Rose is a matchmaking witch who has lost her mojo and is in desperate need of raw magic. Enter a mysterious man who offers to supply that sensual magic, but only if she joins him. This book is fun, flirty and will have you diving into the deep end of monster romances in no time. Which makes it the perfect read for tentacle lovers, voyeurs and exhibitionists.

The Weaver By Tiffany Roberts

Watch out if you’re an arachnophobe, this recommendation is full of spiders… but in a hot way. The Weaver by Tiffany Roberts is set on a distant planet full of giant spider people, where a team of human colonists have crash-landed and must now try to survive on a hostile planet. So, what’s a girl like Ahmya supposed to do when one of these strangely hunky spidermen is ready to attend to her every need? This is definitely a book for the more advanced monster romance readers, but it is worth it. Add on some ovipositor sex toys, and you are in for a night of wild fun.

You can find all the books mentioned above on Booktopia or Amazon, and all the fun monstrous dildos in-house at Harlots Canberra or online retailers like Nothosaur or Bad Dragon. Feeling hot and horny after one of my recommendations or looking to try out a new purchase? You can see the stunning escorts available this week here.

Worried you are coming too early? Then Harlots is here to help with some useful tips, tricks and resources.

What is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is when you can’t control when you ejaculate, and come before you are ready. Things like chemical imbalances in the brain, overstimulation, and performance anxiety can cause premature ejaculation. 

So how do you fix it? The first step is seeking help from a medical practitioner, like your general practitioner. If you don’t have a GP or aren’t comfortable discussing this with your doctor, I would recommend checking out Mens Health Downunder. They work all around Australia, helping men with sensitive health problems.

Below you will find some examples of the main techniques or options to help with premature ejaculation.

Breathing Techniques

The number one piece of advice is don’t hold your breath. This will just make your body tense and more reactive. Instead, try slow controlled breathing and slow stimulation to avoid overstimulating yourself. You could even try some meditation exercises to help with any performance or general anxieties. 

Numbing Creams

You would need to speak with a professional, but another helpful technique is using numbing sprays or creams. When applied in advance, they can help prolong ejaculation by reducing sensation. Obviously, the big issue with this is the reduced sensation and how that can also reduce your enjoyment. There are lots of numbing creams and sprays available on the market, so definitely talk to your doctor before purchasing any to ensure it’s safe to use and the right option for you.

Medication

Lastly, there is prescription medication. While there isn’t anything on the market that directly helps with premature ejaculation, there are a few medications, like some antidepressants, that have the classic side effect of prolonging ejaculation, and some of them are even short-acting acting so you only need to take them as needed. However, as these are prescription medications, you will need to discuss with your doctor what is right for you. 

I hope that after reading this, you’ve found some useful advice and feel confident in asking your GP for help if you need it. If you would like more information on premature ejaculation, you can read more here.

When you think of a dungeon master, you probably think of a strong man or woman clad in leather ordering you to your knees. But for me, dungeon masters are very different. I think of one of my friends sitting at the head of a large table, weaving a fantastical world for me to explore in a game of Dungeons & Dragons. So, let’s have a look at the similarities between BDSM and D&D.

Roleplay

Whether you’re playing Dungeons & Dragons with your friends or playing out your hottest fantasies with your mistress, you are probably engaging in some roleplaying. Roleplay can be intimidating if you’ve never done it before, but my top tips are ‘fake it till you make it’ and ‘keep it simple’. A good mistress or master (like a good D&D group) won’t judge you if your acting is a bit stiff or not fully realistic. The most important thing is that you (and your partner or players) are enjoying yourself.

Leather

Not all mistresses and masters wear leather, but it’s a classic look for a reason. Often, they won’t wear a full leather outfit but will accessorise with leather collars or cuffs or even toys. D&D groups are much the same. At a regular gaming session, you might not wear a full leather ranger’s outfit, but accessories are definitely encouraged. And if you and your friends decide to go to a medieval festival or a Renaissance fair, then a full leather outfit would fit right in. 

Dice

In Dungeons & Dragons, you use dice to decide almost everything. Whether you can see a hidden treasure or how much damage you do to a foe is all decided by the roll of a die. There’s even a huge market for custom dice to match you or your character’s aesthetic. Meanwhile, in the bedroom, you can use sex dice to decide your next move. There are a few different kinds, some with just fun positions to try or others that work in pairs, one for the action and the other for the body part. These dice can be more funny than erotic at times, but are a great way to add some humour to the bedroom. You can buy some at online retailers like Lovehoney.

Dungeon master or pleasure mistress, both are guaranteed to lead to an evening of fun and adventure. You can learn more about D&D here and check out the BDSM escorts available here.
