ErosBlog

ErosBlog is a deeply established personal sex blog run by a single writer named Bacchus, who has been publishing posts since 2002. The site's self-described strapline is "The Sex Blog Of Record," and that ambition is visible in the depth and consistency of what the archive delivers: 24 years of cultural commentary on sexuality, sexual history, and sexual politics, grounded in genuine research and a personal voice that remains recognizable across 2 decades.

What you'll find

The blog covers sexual culture, sexual history, and the occasional personal narrative. Recent posts from September 2026 show the range: a deep dive into a 1950s pinup artist's recurring fetish motif (James Lileks's documentation of artist Art Frahm's obsession with falling panties), a sourced analysis of a 1975 porn film's wedding-orgy sequence using the original 1976 Flick magazine writeup, contemporary commentary on a YouTuber's riff on breeding kink and contraception economics, and personal reflections on failed relationships and parental advice. Posts mix text, still images (mostly vintage), and occasional embedded video. None of it is coy. The archive runs to entries from every year from 2002 through September 2026: the blog is still active.

Each post ends with a "Similar Sex Blogging" section that links to related posts in ErosBlog's own back catalogue, creating a kind of guided taxonomy you can follow backward in time. The sidebar carries a hand-maintained blogroll organized into categories: Sex Blogs, Sexy Images, Sex Information, Other Sexy Links, and a small Science Fiction section. The links are to other independent sites, many of them other long-running sex blogs and communities. Nothing here is an affiliate link or a commercial listing dressed up as editorial.

The voice

Bacchus writes with a combination of erudition and accessibility that makes the blog readable even when it's processing difficult or obscure subjects. A post on parental advice about love and relationships is genuinely funny and moving. A piece on what qualifies as a praise kink uses a transcribed video from someone named Liz to let her explain in her own words why she "has to call it a kink to get them to do it"; the observation being that she simply likes receiving compliments. A longer post on the history of a falling-panties fetish walks through the actual cultural archaeology: the Lileks essay, the Frahm pinup series, the decades of subsequent art, and the question of whether this is something men invented in the 1950s or something older that the artist simply latched onto. The blog trusts the reader to think and does not condescend.

How the blog is organized

The homepage shows the current posts (newest first). Navigation links to yearly archives running back to 2002. The comment system is visible: posts show "X Sexy Comments" or "No Sexy Comments Yet," inviting reader engagement. The site is built on WordPress with a clean, no-frills layout. Search is available. The overall design is functional rather than polished, but that works: you're here to read, not to be impressed by the CSS.

Economics and sustainability

ErosBlog is free to read with no paywall, no signup required, and no ads served on the page. The only financial ask is a Patreon link in the sidebar. This is perhaps the purest funding model available: the blog exists because Bacchus writes it, and the Patreon exists in case readers want to support that work. You are under no obligation to pay to read anything on the site.

The sustainability is evident in the publication record. 24 years of consistent output without a paywall or ad network is not something a side project maintains by accident. Bacchus has kept this blog alive through multiple technological changes, multiple shifts in how sexuality is discussed online, and multiple waves of censorship pressure on sex-related content. The publication date on the newest post is September 14, 2026, with several more in the same month. This is not an archive. It is an active, long-running publication.

Safety and tone

The site publishes directly to the web with no signup, login, or verification wall. The comment sections are moderated (you can see moderated comments, not spam). There is no malware warning, no aggressive advertising, and no dark patterns. The tone throughout is frank, matter-of-fact, and respectful. When Bacchus writes about sexuality, he writes as someone who assumes the reader is an adult and can think for themselves. The writing is neither leering nor coy. It is professional.

A few posts discuss explicit subject matter from historical sources (a 1975 film, vintage magazines, contemporary videos from public figures), and Bacchus quotes or describes what actually happened rather than sanitizing it. That is not a safety issue; it is the historical record.

Who this is for

ErosBlog works if you want to read about sexual culture, sexual history, and the politics of sexuality without pretense. It works if you like following someone's thinking over many years and watching how their concerns and observations evolve. It works if you enjoy the writing of someone who has strong opinions but holds them lightly enough to find humor in them. It does not work if you want pornography: there is none. It does not work if you want practical sex advice or techniques: that is not what this blog does. It does not work if you want contemporary content: the archive is long and the posting frequency is episodic, so weeks might pass between new posts.

The blog links to other resources (its blogroll is a map of independent sex education and sex culture communities online), and you can follow those outward. But ErosBlog itself is a commentary and cultural history project, not a directory or a how-to guide.

Grade argument

This is an A-level blog. Quality is high: the writing is genuine, the research is visible, the archives are comprehensive, and the voice is distinctive. The blog has earned its subtitle as a "sex blog of record" through 2 decades of consistent documentation of sexual culture. Safety is excellent: nothing about the site is predatory, deceptive, or hostile. The value proposition is flawless: everything is free, supported by voluntary patronage, and completely free of commercial manipulation. The only reason this is not an A+ is that it is not a resource for someone looking for practical sexual guidance or contemporary sex content: it is a cultural history blog. That is not a flaw. It is what the blog is. But it means the audience is anyone interested in sexual culture and history; it is not a general-purpose sexual resource.
