About this Blog
Since 2002 Sappho’s Girls has been helping redefine erotic entertainment on the Internet by producing porn - you don’t have to call it erotica just us! - that is made by women for other women and captures the intensity, strength, beauty and pathos the love and lust women have for each other. As part of CyberDyke, a ground-breaking network of sites created and run by bi women and lesbians, Sappho’s Girls has allowed women to escape the confines of safe gauzy soft-core “women’s erotica” without having to confront the tawdry, insultingly vacuous, and all-too-often misogynistic raunch that of typical internet porn sites.
But as proud as we are of Sappho’s Girls - and we are very - there has nevertheless been something of a lack: with our emphasis of imagery, the written word has been, we feel, unfairly neglected. Sappho was after all a poet - perhaps it would be more apt to say the Poet; the 10th Muse in the minds of Virgil and Horace; the woman who redefined by not merely poetry but gave our loves and lusts and heartaches their first and still, after millennia, most graceful, most powerful, most achingly honest and poignant voice. To find a modern voice that is in any measure worthy to speak to us as Sappho did is a daunting task and perhaps we might be forgiven for the time it took to find her. But find her we did.
Sappho’s Girls was initially authored by Chelsea Summers, infamous for her intimate writings at Pretty Dumb Things and one of the best sex writers out there today.
Currently, Sinclair Sexsmith of Sugarbutch Chronicles is writing for us. Sinclair is a self-defined “kinky queer butch top” writes tales of romping and conquests in New York City. Sinclair’s writing focuses on queer desire, the edges of kink, tantra, gender politics and theory, and cockcentric lesbian sexuality.
