Adult Blogs and Magazines
Writing about sex rather than sex itself: personal blogs, toy review sites, sex education, and the brand magazines that outlived their print editions. The independent reviewers are the useful ones, because a person who has tested forty vibrators and says so is worth more than a shop's product page. We note who is funded by affiliate links and who is not, since that is the single thing most likely to shape what you read. Industry trade press is excluded from this list: it is written for people who work in porn, not people watching it.
