While most people don’t care about the meaning of colours, red is so strongly tied to the sex industry that it’s nearly impossible to avoid! From the general sex appeal of red lipstick to the high-class seduction of red-bottom heels, the colour red is tangled up in our presentation. Whole streets or suburbs are called “red light districts” if they are known to be popular locations for brothels or sex workers. But why is the colour red so powerful?

Blushing Babes

Whether you’re at the gym or burning calories in a much more fun way, our bodies react by blushing pink. The association between physical activity and a warm glow is hardwired into our brains. 

Blood rushes to the skin upon contact too, which can be quite suggestive… Like the handprints made when spanking or being spanked.

Attention

The colour red is eye-catching, like berries hidden amongst the green jungle. Being able to spot particular colours might have been helpful in finding food or identifying possible danger. Today it’s used in stop signs and traffic lights; it certainly makes a statement!

Subtle and Not-So-Subtle Advertising

Across the world, sex work has been the subject of centuries of debate. At times, engaging in sex work was taboo or downright illegal which forced the industry into hiding. So, the use of literal red lights allowed for discreet advertising for where people could find sex workers. While those lights first appeared in Europe, the practice is now used across the world. 

Since then, mainstream media has expanded the meaning to include all sorts of intimacy. For example, Valentine’s Day is usually celebrated with red roses and hearts. High-class brands have incorporated the colour into their signature looks to appeal to sexual desires like the bottoms of designer heels.

While actual red lights aren’t so common anymore, the term red-light district remains an iconic part of sex history. Today the colour is broadly linked to all sorts of things, from designer heels to lipstick stains. There aren’t any rules about what colours mean but it’s interesting to see just how much of our society is impacted by colour!

While most of us agree that what happens in incognito tabs should never be spoken of again, there are some interesting statistics about the adult content we choose to watch when the lights go down. From trending search terms to patterns in when people were choosing to spend some alone time, it’s fascinating to see people’s behaviours displayed in terms of online activity.

Mouth-watering MILFs

According to Pornhubs 2023 Year In Review, we are craving a little bit of Stacey’s Mom, with MILF and Mature categories jumping into popularity. Globally, “MILF” held second place, ahead of “lesbian” but behind “hentai.” Other honourable mentions for having aged like fine wine include DILF, GILF and Daddy.

Big & Beautiful

Bigger may not be better but it was certainly more popular last year! Not only were terms like “big” and “huge” searched for more frequently, but the categories “Big Ass” and “Big Dick” saw an average watch time of more than 14 mins each, which is four minutes longer than the average amount of time spent on the site!

iHot

The single greatest increase was “android” and usually coupled with “cosplay,” “robot” and “roleplay.” It saw a 1689% increase in search frequency which was just above the 1541% increase for “NPC.”

International Intimacy

On a global level, America is the leading consumer of adult content online with Australia coming in 13th. The average time spent on the site grew to 10 minutes and 9 seconds. Australia, however, comes in below that average at 9 minutes and 31 seconds. Surprisingly, the day of the week that saw the most action was Monday, and the least was Saturday. Not only were women spending an average of 9 seconds longer online, but 1% more of the total viewers this year were women, making up 36% of all visitors. Australian men still hold the majority share; of total Aussie viewers, 31% were female and 69% male (nice).

Lots of things contribute to trends in adult content consumption and it’s interesting to think about how they vary between countries. Bedroom preferences are something uniquely personal but it’s also a universal part of sexuality. Even though we keep our online activity private, we have a lot more in common than we realise!

I have always appreciated the sex appeal of an older woman. There are plenty of reasons why “MILF,” “mature” and “cougar” are such popular terms in porn, but I never really understood it until her.

When she walked in the door, it was like my first crush all over again. Butterflies in my tummy, my face turning pink and I suddenly didn’t know where to look or how to talk. Her outfit would have seemed plain if it weren’t for the ripe, hourglass figure it clung to. Her jeans were low around her hips, which could have been literally child-bearing. Across the small of her back was a faded, skimpy tattoo, the remnants of an impulsive youth. Her cropped band tee wasn’t designer ‘vintage,’ just concert merch from her 20’s. She seemed like a snapshot of sex appeal from years gone by, like meeting Stacy’s Mom.

Despite whatever skin-care routine that kept her skin so soft, her charming smile lines hinted at years of pleasure & laughter. From that first moment, she radiated warmth and I’m quite sure she could seduce a nun if she wanted to. At first, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be her or be with her, but I’m confident now it’s both. Most of the women I meet in this industry are in their 20s or 30s so to see someone who was old enough to be my mother was unusual, let alone a woman so magnetic.

She was touring for one of the busiest events, so we were sleeping two to a room. As fate would have it, I ended up bunking with her. We were both ready to fall into bed after a long night but had time to chat about our schedules. I was impressed but not really surprised by how many clients were already booked in to see her. She said that being a ‘mature’ woman in this job meant more social dates than parties but it certainly didn’t mean any less fun.

“There are always new tricks to learn, and you should see the things I’ve learnt to do,” she said with a chuckle. I was captivated by her passion, her warmth, and even her perfume left me craving more.

The next day was a whirlwind of hairspray and glitter as we all rushed to get ready. Suddenly, she appeared beside me and laid her hand on my bare shoulder.

“Hey hun, you do overnights, right?” she asked.

I nodded.

“And what about bi-doubles?”

I nodded again and she smiled.

“That guy we spoke about last night, he has decided he wants a double and you’ll never guess who he wants to see me with,” she says with a flirty grin.

There was no containing my excitement for that evening. The perfect opportunity to explore this new-found attraction had just fallen into my lap. Maybe it was her years of experience in all things pleasure or the undeniable chemistry between us, but I still haven’t found anyone who can make me feel the way she did.

Having music playing in the background can not only break the tension in the bedroom but can really add to the atmosphere. With its powerful riffs, suggestive lyrics and rebellious spirit, it’s no wonder that rock & roll is popular when people are getting freaky! High-energy and full of youthful rebellion, rock & roll is perfect for when you’re looking for something to back your next Porn Star Experience.

Shhh by Prince

Prince has given us some timeless classics and Shhh is no exception! From the hot & heavy opening, it then transitions to his seductive voice. From there, the climactic guitar part appears several times throughout the songs. If you’re up for the challenge of giving multiple O’s, this is a great soundtrack to keep you on pace!

Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin

Whole Lotta Love is an iconic rock song with heavy drums, strong guitar riffs and of course those evocative vocals. Your own bedroom vocals won’t be out of place during this piece so feel free to express yourself.

Use Me by Bill Withers

From the title alone, this song is all about undeniable sexual chemistry. The lyrics tell a story of sex so mindblowing you’ll let your partner’s misbehaviour slide. It’s certainly not a love song but that funky bass line makes it one hell of a making-love song!

Rock & Roll is a diverse genre and comes with plenty of options for your next bedroom playlist. Whether it’s the heartfelt vocals with suggestive lyrics or the drums that keep the pace for those big moments, rock & roll has a lot to offer your night-time repertoire.

When you are browsing some of the gorgeous babes available, you are sure to come across a whole heap of terms that are unique to the sex industry. Everyone is familiar with the words “porn star” and might even have their favourites. However, a “Porn Star Experience” offers you the chance to feel like one!

Extras (things outside of standard service) often appear together in “Experiences.” These are themed bundles that help you make the most of your time together! “Porn Star Experience,” or PSE for short, is one example.

Porn Star Experiences draw inspiration from the wild moans, naughty extras and kinky pleasures in our favourite XXX scenes. Just like every porn video is unique, every PSE varies. Without any hard-and-fast rules about what should be in a PSE, your time with different ladies will be focused on what they do best! Sometimes that’s messy BJs & deepthroat, other times it could be hairpulling and spanking. While things like dirty talk, role play and spanking are popular inclusions in PSE not everyone offers them, so it’s important to make sure you know what’s included.

When it comes to pricing PSEs, some babes charge a flat rate for all bookings up to an hour long. Others adjust their prices depending on how long you would like to spend together. If you’re booking more than an hour, it’s best to chat in–person about the total cost of your extras. Most ladies are more than happy to discuss extras and if you think of something you like that’s not in their PSE there is no harm in asking! Not everyone can be flexible with their PSEs but you won’t know unless you ask!

Porn Star Experiences can be exhilarating, but they may not be what you are looking for. Sometimes, a good ol’ standard booking with massage, handjob, blowjob and sex is all you want. PSEs are one of many ways you can choose to spice up your time together, and we will gladly leave the naughty stuff for another time. If you do feel like some wild thrills and chills, check out some Porn Star extraordinaires here.

Euphemisms, or terms used in place of other words, and slang are a key part of how we talk about all things intimate. While vagina and penis are the ‘proper’ terms, they feel awkward when talking casually compared to pussy and dick. Every language and time period has its own words to describe body parts, sex acts and types of people. Sometimes we hold on to those words for centuries, but sometimes old slang sounds bizarre and downright comical! 

The following are made available by The Project Gutenberg publication of The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, originally by Francis Grose.

Doing The Deed

There are infinite ways to describe the horizontal tango; like knocking boots or getting laid. At the turn of the 19th century, you could have a brush with a beautiful woman, or relish her. If it was a quickie, you would take a flourish, and if you decided to have a mostly clothed romp outside of the bedroom, you would be taking a flyer

Sugar Sticks & Bubbies

Slang terms for body parts are also common and change constantly. What we call boobs, titties and ta-tas, were once called diddeys, bubbies and a woman’s apple dumplin’ shop. A busty woman could be called a bushel bubby! As for pussy, the words quim and madge were popular euphemisms.

Don’t worry, dicks were not forgotten! Cocks were described as deliciously naughty sugar sticks and if you were a shower, not a grower, you might be described as having a lobcock. One of the wittier phrases was the silent flute.

People

Not all parts of language change though; this 18th-century text still described well-endowed blokes as well-hung. Also, while gold digger usually refers to a young woman and a rich man, the term fortune hunter was reserved for men who were seeking wealthy wives!

There are also many terms for promiscuous ladies, sex workers and women in general, though some aren’t as kind as others. Dirty puzzle is defined as “a nasty slut” which has definitely appeared in more than a few XXX video titles. A few highlights include quean, trollop and strumpet all referring to lusty babes, plus harlot of course!

Language is constantly changing and as new words emerge, the old ones can fade away. It’s amusing to imagine using those words today since they seem so foreign to us. If you fancy taking a flourish of your own, check out the available babes here!

Available in a range of sizes and flavoured, coloured and textured for your pleasure! Condoms are an essential part of a healthy sex life! They remain the only form of contraception that reduces the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. They weren’t always so fancy though!

Just The Tip

While modern condoms are stocked in a range of sizes, there was a period of time when doctors were responsible for measuring and ordering custom fits! These made-to-measure prophylactics were ‘glans only’ but didn’t offer complete protection and had a tendency to fall off during use. Some earlier records indicate glans condoms were used in Japan and Italy too but they faced the same issues.

Sick Sea Men

In 1494, thriving naval fleets and nautical trade routes contributed to an international outbreak of STIs, namely, syphilis. The symptomatic pustules contributed to the deaths of many people across Europe and by 1505, large parts of Asia. Doctors and physicians across the world began an effort to popularise the use of condoms to reduce the risk of transmission. This led to efforts to make condoms more affordable. Since they were hand-crafted at the time, condoms were largely reserved for the upper classes due to the cost. 

Rubbers Weren’t Always Made Of Rubber

Before the mid-1800s, condoms were made from a range of materials and their comfort level varied too. 14th century England they were made of animal tissue, sometimes the bladder or intestines. While it seems bizarre now, gloves had been made out of treated intestines since the 1200s.

In Japan, condoms were made of tortoise shells or animal horns; talk about being horny! The Dutch began trading in condoms made of “fine leather” and the Italians experimented with linen condoms that were secured with a ribbon. If you could afford the luxury (and didn’t mind the sticky texture), some were even lined with velvet or silk!

While rubber condoms were first developed in 1855, they still had a lengthwise seam and were about 2mm thick. It wasn’t until 1912 that Julius Fromm dipped a glass bulb into liquid rubber to create the seamless design we all recognise today! Fromm also created condom vending machines!

Like many things, condoms have gone through countless iterations. From bulky linen and animal horn to the seamless, lightweight and sometimes flavoured versions available from corner stores and sexual health clinics today. The development of the modern condom has been essential in helping humanity make the most of their time between the sheets.

Sex and songs go so well together! So many songs are about sex and a good playlist can really enhance a night between the sheets! With a mix of genres, eras and artists, feel free to take some inspiration from my sex playlist favourites!

Slide by H.E.R. is a laidback R&B jam with a feature from American rapper YG. It may not be the accompaniment to a ‘grand finale’ moment, but it is an excellent ‘taking your time’ vibe. With the atmosphere from the rhythmic synth and H.E.R.’s gentle, soulful vocals, this piece is definitely worth listening to.

H.E.R. is an African American singer, songwriter and composer who has won several awards for her music. She creates a beautiful blend of R&B, hip-hop and soul. Slide was released in 2019 and has been nominated for a range of awards. It also won a BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Award in 2021. 

The introduction of Slide is YG describing H.E.R. and sets the scene for an empowered female figure to be the main character of this piece. H.E.R. sings the majority of the song and describes hanging out with a gentleman in a fancy car. The lyrics suggest treating yourself and living the highlife but without worrying about what others might say. The question repeated throughout, “when we goin’ slide?” suggests that she wants to spend more time with her companion and is interested in seeing where things go. It’s curious, playful and definitely sultry, and brings those qualities to life with the catchy melody and beat.

The featured verse from YG is one of my favourite rap features since it complements and balances H.E.R.s vocals & style so well. It opens with “I need a bae-cation” which is just adorable. ‘Bitch’ can be positive or negative but the next line always makes me giggle; “I need my bitch in an apron, booty all out cookin’ bacon.” It’s cute, suggestive and helps remind listeners to have some genuine fun even when things are getting steamy.

There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ when it comes to what songs should be in your sex playlist. What really matters is how it makes you feel; sexy, confident, seductive or just straight-up horny! If you feel like trying out a few songs with someone, check out the babes available here!

A little ambience can go a long way in setting the mood and jazz is rich with culture and intimacy. Jazz is often performed as a conversation between musicians, highlighting their own styles and blending together to create unique sounds. That give-and-take can be great at building tension and works well in the bedroom.

Fever by Peggy Lee

Fever is a minimalistic piece that showcases a simple bassline and her heartfelt lyrics. There is a bounce to the rhythm and the simplicity of its composition is understatedly sincere. This piece would be the perfect warm-up as you move from dinner to the bedroom.

Take Five by Dave Drubeck

Take Five is a warm & upbeat piece with a saxophone leading over a repeated piano riff. If you aren’t familiar with music, you might not catch what it is that makes Take Five feel so jaunty and alive. Most songs have a 4-beat time signature (4/4) and counting to 4 aligns with the lyrics/chords of most pop songs. However, the clue for Take Five is in the name; its time signature is 5/4. Let Dave Drubeck’s charmingly unusual piece set the scene for your romantic evening.

You Do Something To Me by Laura Fygi

Laura Fygi’s sultry voice tells the story of her lover’s unparalleled powers of seduction. The light backing instruments pick up in the middle of the song and feature a meandering trumpet solo. Then Fygi’s vocals take the spotlight again. You Do Something To Me is a gorgeous piece perfect for when you want to remind your lover just how special they are.

These songs are by no means representative of all that Jazz has to offer; it’s an incredibly diverse genre so if these didn’t tickle your fancy, there’s plenty more! The conversation between musicians within each piece and the soft seduction of jazz vocalists can be a great addition to your romantic evening playlist.

Once you’ve found someone that caught your eye, you can open their profile to see what they offer. Here, you’ll find an assortment of terms that are unique to the sex industry. Some of them are straightforward but others are a little more nuanced. One common phrase is “Naughty Girl Friend Experience” which you can add to standard service to spice things up.

Extras (things outside of standard service) often appear together in “Experiences.” These are themed bundles that help you make the most of your time together! “Naughty Girl Friend Experience” is one example.

Naughty Girl Friend Experiences, or NGFEs, are the perfect blend of wild Porn Star and intimate Girl Friend Experiences. Given how GFEs and PSEs are unique, no two NGFEs are the same either. Some lean more towards romantic with cuddling and kissing, and others are more like a PSE with hairpulling or deep throat. Each escort has their own specialties so don’t be surprised if they vary quite a bit. It’s always best to ask the receptionist or speak to the babes in person if you are unsure.

When it comes to pricing NGFEs, some escorts charge a flat rate for all bookings up to an hour long. Others adjust their prices depending on how long you would like to spend together. If you’re booking more than an hour, it’s best to chat in–person about the total cost of your extras. If you are booking more than one escort, you can have a conversation with both of them and confirm what is and isn’t in each of their NGFEs. Most escorts list individual extras on their profiles and if you see something you like that’s not in their NGFE there is no harm in asking! Not everyone’s NGFEs are flexible, but you won’t know unless you ask!

Naughty Girl Friend Experiences can be the perfect mix of sweet & spicy, but they definitely aren’t necessary to have a good time! Standard service is sometimes just what you’ve been needing! Whether you are looking for something extra or just want to stick to standard, you can check out the available babes here!
