There’s a Dearth of Straight Male Sex Bloggers

Posted By on January 3, 2009

In browsing about on a Saturday morning, I notice not for the first time that there are many, many sex blogs by women. Literate blogs. Raunchy blogs. Thoughtful, hopeful, yearning, informative, wrenching, explosive, honest, funny blogs. By women. I could make a long list of them and, in fact, I have: I have 26 bookmarks under Adult | Blogs and many of them will eventually make their way into the IntoTemptation.net blogrolls.

Only one guy is represented in that folder — Mark Brooks, who does the Online Personals Watch, which is really not a sex blog at all, but more of an online dating industry news site. There should be some gay guy bloggers in there as well — oops, my bad, and I just added http://www.gaysexblog.net/ — but where are the hetero male sex bloggers?

I search, using Google, and get:

  • No results found for “sex blog by a hetero male”
  • No results found for “sex blog by a heterosexual male”
  • No results found for “hetero male sex blog”
  • No results found for “heterosexual male sex blog”

It doesn’t help much to remove the quotes. However, I do find, with a little poking around, from March 2005:

Am I the only male sex-blogger?

… and the poser of the question is bisexual and last blogged in October 2005. Maybe he stopped because he got lonely?

So I’m still on the case — finding straight guys who blog about their sex lives, or lack of them or even who blog about other people’s sex lives. Any help is appreciated.

I realize I haven’t blogged about my own sex life yet. Cut me a little slack, I just got here. And I haven’t had sex in 2009 yet. I mean, not with another person, anyway. Yikes. I wonder what the SMC is up to tonight?

  1. I’m LOVING your blog already! Added it to my blogroll. And I know an amazing straight male sex blogger – he has quite a following – Figleaf:

    He’s been going strong for a looong time. Drop him a line and tell him I sent you! xoxo

    OMG I just saw my blog in your blogroll! I’m honored to be one of your first…

    I’ll go find Figleaf, then … thanks! I’ve managed to find a (very) few others and I’ll do a follow-up at some point.

    I just did a similar search with similar results. My girlfriend and I have been having some wicked sex and a beautiful relationship and I really feel there needs to be more 1st-person straight male literature out there other than the generic FHM/MensHealth stuff. So soon I will be starting a blog, I’ll post the link once it’s up and running if you like.

    Straight men are definitely the most out-of-touch with their bodies and sexualities, as well as those of women, speaking in generalities of course, so I’m going to try and spread some awareness.

You've Been Tempted.

Shadowy "Into Temptation" has been a forum about evolving social-sexual networks and how they have changed and are changing lives. In other words, we talk about dating and sex.

The original intention was that this blog would also chronicle a book project on the same subject; but that is in flux, on hiatus, perhaps meant for another time.
