Paypal is
coming down hard on online erotica retailers. The service has
sent demands to such ebook self-publishing sites as Smashwords, AllRomanceEbooks and Bookstrand, demanding that they remove all titles containing bestiality, rape-for-titillation, and incest- including the popular 'pseudo-incest' category of stepparent or stepsibling sex.

Filament aims to be a
different kind of women's magazine. They plan to "cover a wide range of topics [but absolutely no beauty or diet articles] that inspire and engage , and [give women] gorgeous boys the way
[they] like to see them."
Their
first issue is out and featured a mix of articles, fiction, poetry and pics of shirtless boys. For their second issue, they want to include a pic of a man with erection, but their
printer bailed because the printer was afraid of a backlash. The magazine has also had issues with
distributors because many of them don't want to deal with a women's magazine with a man on the cover.

preponderance of (naked) women on the covers of erotic books, and is trying to get more
men and couples on the covers.

Erotica runs rampant: "Pornographic images, erotic paraphernalia, and raunchy sexual talk are reaching a near-saturation point in the daily lives of Americans, through television, movies, magazines, and the Internet, say a growing chorus of expert voices. And the target market is an increasingly younger audience."
Frontline also has a special called
American Porn running this coming week, exploring how the
mainstream profits from the adult biz.
