EXTRACT

I'm twenty-seven. I'm a writer, and I'm doing this for two reasons. (1) My hubby is asleep, and I want to get horny enough to masturbate before I join him. (2) I'm egotistical enough to think my fantasies are going to be adopted by others.

Before I get into fantasies, a little background. I have masturbated since I was sixteen, and I've been with a dozen or so men. David, my husband, is the best, but he's a bit of an MCP sometimes, so being really frank is proceeded slowly.

Several years ago, a female friend and I admitted to each other that we indulged in masturbation, and soon we began doing it in the same room. We sort of fed on each other's sounds, which we controlled somewhat, but nonetheless could not suppress. Also, we dug on the idea that we were masturbating, but weren't alone. We always kept it darkened, but there was always enough light to allow us to see, at least in shadows, the other one with her legs spread wide open and a hand moving, caressing, rubbing a wet cunt. We especially liked the sound of the 'wetness' - that squishy sound. I think women should get into this - approach the subject kiddingly if you have to, and if lesbianism hangs you up (it does me a little), just keep in mind that you're not making love with another woman. It's just a bit of voyeurism!

Last year, I did something I slightly regret. I asked a girl I know to go to bed with me just because I wanted someone to suck on my nipples while I masturbated. I just had to have someone to suck my tits hard and watch me lay there spread open so wide rubbing my clitoris and stretching and impaling myself so deliciously on a long thick candle! She was great!

As to fantasies, I imagine that five lesbians come over and work on me. I've got one sucking and licking each breast, two holding my legs as wide apart as they can while the fifth eats me. This one produces a very large dildo. I protest that I can't take one that big, then the two holding my legs assure me that I'll open up for it and love it that big and to relax. Number five sucks my clit and just pushes it in a little. Soon I'm begging her to go all the way. Put it in me! Deep. I want it deep inside me! It's great.

I also imagine in my fantasies that I'm at the Masters and Johnson clinic with their 'fucking machine'.

Sometimes I fantasise that my husband and I are in a film showing deprived women what they're missing, so they can get their lovers on the ball!

Sometimes I just remember my friend staring at me while I masturbated in broad daylight. It was wonderful to lay there - cunt wide open, masturbating deliciously, nipples tight and pointy while another woman watched sighing, "Wow, you don't need any help. Look at those tits! That dildo is so big. I'll bet it feels great."

Forbidden Flowers is available now and for one month only, it comes with a free Crystal Clear Mini Vibrator, worth £5.99!

Filament magazine has launched, and in its wake is a media frenzy, a lot of debate and a ton of women handing over their details to obtain a copy.

Whether you consider Filament to be art, porn, art-porn or just downright smut, you have to admit that the controversy it has created can only be a good thing.

After all, just knowing that there's a demand for a pornographic magazine aimed at women is enough to reassure the masses that looking at hot naked men is perfectly normal.

We caught up with Filament editor Suraya Sidhu Singh to find out more about the magazine and how you can become a porn star for the intellectual generation.

Erotica has taken a classy and artistic turn with Suraya Singh's brand new pervery magazine known simply as Filament.

Unlike female-friendly print-porn of the past, which seems to target the gay male market or giggling girls out on their hen night, Filament showcases the kind of attractive males you'd see at a Faith No More concert or grabbing a cup of java from your local fair-trade coffee shop.

But not only is Filament filled with fantastically shot, beautifully lit photography akin to that of Lithium Picnic or Steve Prue, it also contains genuinely challenging articles, believable erotic fiction and even some rather enticing recipes.

It seems that most media outlets have already caught on to the news about Filament magazine, with the Daily Mail and The Independent getting in on the act, but the general mainstream consensus seems to be that no one could possibly find slim, slightly androgynous men attractive.

The Daily Mail's Olivia Lichtenstein balks:

"I turn the pages and there are the pictures of 'Boys'. Most of them are somewhat effeminate, and none of them is arousing.

They are apparently intended as an alternative to the oil-slicked musclemen that proliferate elsewhere. The editor claims her 'research' has shown her these models represent the sort of men women really find sexy."

Yes, heaven forbid that women have different tastes in men! We should all be admiring photos of men who drive white vans and eat nothing but raw meat and fried carbs, obviously.

Suraya's target audience is quite clearly not Daily Mail readers.

In fact, Filament is more for the kind of women who don't read any mainstream newspapers.

The kind of women who have heard of Chuck Palahniuk.

The kind of women who have more records in their collection than food in their fridge.

The kind of women with dye under their nails, rather than false ones stuck on top.

The kind of women who have visible tattoos and have scored top jobs due to their impressive qualifications and talents, rather than what they look like.

And the kind of men that these women go for? The 'effeminate boys' to which the Daily Mail refers.

The tag line of 'the thinking woman's crumpet' is spot on. Filament combines artistic photography and arousing pornography perfectly, making it more of a classy art magazine rather than an out-and-out sausage-fest.

Filament magazine may not be everyone's cup of tea but for the target audience its aiming itself at, it does a bloody good job!
