Again at the recommendation of a reader, we are going to look at a different kind of site from the ones reviewed so far. Pocket Secrets is a well-developed series of sexual vignettes that walk the line between erotica and porn. Is erotica just well written porn? I think the difference is more complex than that. While erotica may be entirely fictional, it can represent genuine feeling. Porn is, to me, nothing more than simulation, though I admit I’ve viewed plenty in my time. But I digress. This is about Pocket Secrets, not me.
If women who crave sex are what you like, this is the place for you. Pocket Secrets sprays erotic bullets like a sexual AK-47. Now we could just stop there, but what fun would that be? See, some female blog sites tell you why they do what they do, some over and over again. This one is different, because it is essentially all stories, most short and to the very explicit point. In trying to get a little insight (read blind ass guess) into what is really going on here, I read every post, going back over more than a year. Interestingly, the first posts were softer and most often written in the “I/you” perspective. Later, there is a shift to a harder edge, and we see much more “I/he.” The same themes of complex sexual immersion are there, but the presentation is discernably different. While Pocket Secrets is a great read, I have to say I like the earlier material better. I have a suspicion it is more, well, heartfelt.
Here are some examples of what I mean. Compare Ringside Seats or Touché to Saturday Night or Yours for the Taking. Ones like the latter two don’t show up so much anymore.
Ok, there are a couple of other clues out there. Passion’s Path is one of the very few posts that deviates from the format with a little autobiographical note. Looking for a Few Good Men kind of goes to what this blog is about. “If you can handle me, you will reap great rewards, but boy, be careful what you wish for.”
For all the overuse of the vowel “u” throughout this blog (apparently “fuck” “cunt” and “cum” are Pocket Secret’s favorite words), the writing is witty and effective. And every now and then, she lets us see something else. Just look at Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Blog type: Erotica
Erotic Quality: If you like the edge and don’t mind the porno talk these stories are hot stuff. It’s an unapologetic pursuit of sexual satisfaction in all its forms. Some is really quite sophisticated. I thought A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words was masterfully conceived, but I confess, I could not handle that truth.
Honesty: I think the early stories have real feeling behind them. The later stories are more polished in some ways, but somehow don’t seem quite as genuine. I think she started writing to a particular person, but these days, whether he is still around or not, Pocket Secrets is just having fun with our heads.
Presentation: Pocket Secrets gets straight to the point in most cases. That fits, because her sexual appetite is equally as direct. There is very little languid sensuality here. Also, with a very few exceptions, Pocket Secrets avoids the standard blogosphere junk that interrupts the flow and character of many sites. Good photos accompany each post.
Comments: There are lots of comments here, and Pocket Secrets is very good about responding. She stays in character too. Somebody told me she’s the best flirt on the internet. Well, maybe….
Fetish Factor: This is kind of funny, because as direct and unabashed as Pocket Secrets is, she doesn’t waste too much time with kink. She wants it in her mouth, in her pussy or in her ass, and she wants it now. If there is a kinky theme here, it’s her desire to be a complete sexual plaything…as long as she gets what she wants too.
Overall: This was a fun site to review. Punchy, direct, well written and largely devoid of much ruminating about anything off-topic. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy reviewing the more wide ranging and contemplative blogs too, but Pocket Secrets was a nice jolt in the pants and the brain.

She is! The best flirt, I mean. I come (so to speak) for the writing, and stay for the comments.
She is one of those writers that I will immediately read if I see she has a new post.
She’s mysterious. And she really is the best flirt with both male and female readers.
But my favorite part is that she gets to the point. She doesn’t waste words. And every word is delicious.
the anonymity (even for a blog) that I feel when reading her posts, only adds to the voyeuristic feel that emanates from her writing….
