I’m a sucker for synths. And for love songs. So really I was looking for any excuse to roll around in sneakers and lingerie listening to 10cc. This little promo, which I’m calling Kicks for the aforementioned footwear, is the outcome. One for all the other lovers of synths and …

On holiday
I went on a sun-drenched trip to Andalusia with some of my most gorgeous friends, and all I got was a stunning set of photos by Lupa Vaux, and a few more by Amelia Swann. Quite the adventure. They’re over in my gallery, have a peak. Then if you’re feeling …
On sleaze
Why is it that the seediest encounters are often the most erotic? This thought struck my mind one night in Berlin, backing my way into a dark, dirty corner of Berghain with a partner, ready to let loose on each other after hours pumping ourselves up on the dance floor. …
On revelations
A someone who enjoys taking their clothes off, I spend rather a lot of time preoccupied with the process itself. I’m intrigued by the power imbued in the ways in which we can make the transition from being fully clothed, to a state of undress. Roland Barthes believed the striptease …
On sparks
I travel, frequently. As a matter of fact, I’m writing this blog post poolside in Andalusia. A consequence of this jet-setting is often finding myself alone, in a strange place, with time to kill and nothing but my own imagination to keep me company. Sometimes, I realise I’m less alone …
On reading material
Who doesn’t enjoy link round ups? Especially those featuring yours truly and some of my favourite friends. In case you missed them, here’s some new reading material for you insatiable lot: I spoke to Strategist about how to find the perfect condom for every size, shape and proclivity; My favourite …
On shame
I am erotically obsessed with shame. Shame – the emotion that Silvan S. Tomkins defined as one of the primary ‘negative affects’ – is a uniquely physical thing. Shame is felt in the pit of your stomach, and is often manifested through blushes, prickling skin and an increased awareness of …
On the city
There is a side of the city you will not be able to see until you have done this job. There is a whole separate world mapped alongside the one you occupied before; the city and its double, revealed to you only gradually as you wind your way down another …
On neon
It was Foucault that posited that power would eventually be located in “just the inspecting gaze”, and as an exhibitionist, there always been something thrilling in playing with notions of performance, spectacle and voyeurism. These ideas inspired my latest teaser, a neon-drenched homage to Tokyo Decadence and the all-seeing eye …
On feedback
I’ve always been a little ambivalent about review culture. This may be the age of Uber ratings and Trip Advisor stars, but when it comes to something as subjective as desire, overly-simplistic definitions of ‘positive’ vs ‘negative’ seem wholly inadequate. This uncertainty prevails in parts of the adult industry, with …
On boundaries
As a BDSM practitioner, few things make me more sceptical than when a lover tells me they have “no boundaries”. As part of the negotiation and communication that I do with anyone I play with, I like to have a candid conversation about our mutual desires and preferences, and boundaries form a …
On latex
I’ve just shot some rather gorgeous new content featuring exquisite pastel latex from one of my favourite designers, William Wilde. I’ve always loved latex. It’s not a material one takes lightly, and there’s an undeniably ritualistic component to getting dressed in it. You need to prepare yourself before you put it on, …
