SEX SCENES

It's a celebrity sextape! No, it's just some friends having fun! In the nude.

There's a celebrity sex-tape angle in "Sex Scenes." Is the celebrity sex-tape the defining artistic form of our age?

• Alexa recalls some of her piercings.
• "My father always told me to do something I love," Danielle writes, explaining why she became an escort. Alexa runs that website too.
• Alexa also turned up this history of the courtesan. If you haven't guessed: The smart, feisty, and amazingly forthright Alexa -- who is working as an escort while making her way through grad school -- is one of our favorite sex bloggers.

We're thrilled to learn that one of our Sex Scenes stories "Detention" was selected for Maxim Jakubowski's next Mammoth Book of Best Erotica #9 which will be out in January 2010.

"Detention" is about a young man who visits one of his high school teachers, who's in jail for having had sex with a student. What does he really want from her? And what does she really want from him?

I won't give too much away, but I will volunteer that the story is beautifully, sexily, and hilariously performed on our audio by Jake Thomas and Marisa Landow.

Finally a Jane Austen adaptation even the "Sex Scenes" team can enjoy:
