Mandy’s Sex Life. Could this possibly be an adult oriented blog? I think it might be.

The design of the site is a boring template. Weird shades of green, a two column layout, yeah I think I have seen this one before. The page loads to a huge picture (drawn) of a female with some rather interesting things going on.

At the top of the page, there is the premise for the site stating that she started her own adult pay site and this blog was a companion so to speak. Maybe it is giving us an inside look at what is going on with running the adult site?

The blog itself is made up mostly of pictures. The blog is very green (just started in April), and doesn’t contain very many actual posts that require reading. The posts that do require reading are about how horny Mandy is, and what she is looking for in a partner.

The blog itself is just a big ad for her adult pay site. There are a ton of links back to the adult site, a lot of “special keywords” placed through the blog, and a lot of pictures.

Unfortunately this blog was rather boring to me since there was very little content. I was really hoping that it would have been different based on the title, or even more of a behind the scenes look at how to run an adult pay website. But instead, I got a big marketing campaign about why I should go to this adult pay site. This site is not worth visiting, and could be so much more.

What is life like in the ether? From the opening page it looks to be somewhat plain, but holds a promise of meeting a heroine. No pretty pictures to look at, but lots of words to read and find out what the site is all about. Or you could just read this review and get the skinny on it.

I was interested in most of what the author has to say. She has an up and down relationship with her mother which was brought up in the earlier postings, but seems to be settled down now that she moved from Kansas City to DC. The posts range from figuring out what she wants in life and talking about problems with her mother to trying to quit smoking and finally being able to make a decent pot of coffee. Sometimes there’s links with descriptions of what stuck out to her. It’s a good read, and not a whole lot of rants. However, sometimes the posts are about the average everyday that you can find anywhere.

As I said earlier, the page is kind of plain. It’s all black and white, with very little visual stimulation. The neatness of the site is great. Everything is very well organized.

The about page has lists and lists of things the author is interested in, favorite movies, books, music and general interests. It does say a lot about the author, but I wished there was more on what the author thought of herself or what she thinks is most important about her.

The posts on the site are good, and it’s updated often. The more meaningful posts are great when they come along. It turns out that life in the ether is much like life on earth.life in the ether

Ahh yes. Porn. (pRon)… I didn’t know what to expect when I read ‘Mandy’s Sex Life’ was up for review. I generally don’t associate porn with ‘writing‘ – especially good writing. I was surprised to enjoy most of the adult oriented, crude but intelligent, open, honest and insightful thoughts about sex that Mandy has shared.

The blog is basic looking esthetically with a simple straight forward layout. It is very average in appearance, but this is a blog about ‘sex, smut, raunch, eros’ so the focus is clearly elsewhere. There are quite a few links to site similar to hers, and of course, there are a slew of dirty pictures. Unfortunately, the writing that initially impressed me with this blog is rather spartan and sporadic. The blog is rather new and there are more pictures than text. Mandy shares bits and pieces but seems more inclined to toss a picture up instead of writing a description about her various sexual exploits. Which is a shame, because I’m sure surfers to this site want to read and see what goes on behind the scenes. Blog readers generally like to read and see what is going on…Especially since when she does write, it is well written and engaging copy.

Clearly as an adult site, the mature content isn’t for everyone one: viewer discretion is advised. Mandy has an interesting take on the porn industry claiming, ‘Okay, no bullsh*t. Nothing about me or this blog is bullsh*t, well maybe some things. But I’m not gonna misrepresent sh*t to you guys.’

Mandy’s Sex Life has had an interesting start with her fresh open perspective on sex. I wonder what direction she will take her fiery sexual passion; one way would be to become a reader…

On warning from our beloved leader, Brent, that this was a very adult blog, I immediately went to go and have a look.



I’ll get the preliminaries out of the way first. The look of the blog is very average and is a basic blogspot layout that someone has just hap-hazardly thrown together. The writing (when it occurs) is very immature, childish almost, which is ironic because the introduction to the blog is as follows:


I Started My Own Pay ADULT Site: mikeyandmandy.com, as a Mature not old, Married, and PUBLISHED EROTIC WRITER and with a DESIGN/BRAIN CREATIVE/SUCCESSFUL ARTIST. Strap on the Seat Belts, Puke Bags, Open your Pants, Get it Out, whatever. This is a long, strange, virtua-ride. A dirty little tale, too. Ready Master? Mistress? Whatever?




Riiight. That was written by a published writer, folks. It left me wondering, to be perfectly honest.



Mandy, who I assume is the writer of the blog, gives us fair warning that it’s an adult blog and I suppose it is… if you’re a teenager who is playing hooky from school and can sneak a peek at such things on the computer since mommy isn’t home to tell you off. This reviewer found nothing adult in the blog at all – adult meaning nothing that a mature-minded person who is looking for something naughty to read or look at – which isn’t to say that there’s no naughty bits to be found here. There are. But they’re stupid and not worth the time it takes to download them all.



As you can tell, my first and following impressions of the blog weren’t good ones. I know sex. I know blogs about sex, and I have seen some absolutely exquisite blogs combining sex and blogging (written by other people in the erotica business or by working girls). This blog does not even come close to the quality of those, or at least the quality that any adult would find stimulating (either physically or mentally).



Mandy says in her second entry:


Okay, no bullshit. Nothing about me or this blog is bullshit, well maybe some things. But I’m not gonna misrepresent shit to you guys. Lying is getting worse than horrible these days. The Bush People. PR from stars. Even the manufacturing of Jenna Jameson.
It’s horrible AND boring. Bland. Have you seen the lastest action movie?



There’s a little adage that comes to mind after reading the above, and it goes along the lines of stones and glass houses.



I personally found the blog inane (or, in Mandy’s own words, “bullshit”). I love adult material, and it takes a lot to offend me but rather than being offended or even titillated by the images found on the site. I was bored to tears and wondering why I had wasted my time.



It’s a pity really, because Mandy’s sex life could have been something pretty good, however in order to fix this blog, there needs to be some serious scrapping and starting over from scratch.

Oh dear, a Blogspot template. Really boring. It is dark blue with white lettering. Which is moderately easy to read, but frankly I found the darkness starting to get on my nerves already. But this is a creative writing blog, so I tell myself,it’s not surprising that there is no eye candy.

So okay, who’s the author? Why is the author writing? What’s this blog all about? I found no such answers readily at hand. After I got over my annoyance of having to jump into the deep end of the pool, with nary a hint of where I was or what I was about to experience, I began to read the entries. The first ones I encountered were disjointed and confusing copies of emails to a friend. But as I dug deeper, the storyteller emerged.

The majority of the entries are humorous, and broad humor at that. While fairly well written, there were often sudden leaps that left me thinking, “Did I miss something?” and having to backtrack. Some well-placed punctuation would help this problem in a few instances, but in most, I would say, a willingness to settle down and tell the story without rushing to the next punch line, (Of which there are many, and lots of them are very funny, don’t get me wrong) A little more attention to detail would be a very good thing. I also noticed a tendency to end the story abruptly. A few more final sentences to tie up loose ends would have kept me from ‘readers freefall’.

After reaching the end of the home page, I went back to the top to look at the “Previous Posts” list to see if I had missed anything. When I clicked on a title I was taken to that post, but then a new list of titles appeared on the right of the page that I had not visited. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t care for the way this site is organized. Ease of navigation is big in my book.

I finally stumbled, by accident on what I think is the inaugural post of May 13, 2004. Oh how I wish I had read this first! In it she describes her compulsion to write and desire to share said writings. There is a very amusing imaginary dialog with friends and family members about her starting her blog. It would have been perfect to BEGIN with this post. One thing that we should remember as bloggers, is that if someone stumbles upon your blog while browsing around, you only have a few minutes at most to let them know what the heck is going on at your place. And convince them it’s worth their while to stay and have a look around.

Overall, after recovering from my initial snit, I enjoyed my visit. The quality of the stories varies quite a bit, but I think Kim has a certain storytelling gift. And I will leave you with what was my favorite tale. “Jesus Is On The Bedpan in 306” May 20, 2004. Read it. But I can’t tell you how to GET to it. Just keep clicking on the Previous Posts until it comes up in the menu! I think it’s worth the click and hunt!
