Beloved Readers,
We hope you take extra time to savor all the yummy goodness that is in Mmm the May issue of Oysters & Chocolate.
We want to take a moment to thank all of you who took time to respond to April's Editor's letter where we discussed the issue of the ugly double standards that come up as natural byproducts of working in the female erotica industry. Here are some of the comments we received.
Technically I guess we are competitors in the same market, but after reading your latest editorial and realising we are basically going through similar things and taking up the same fight, I felt the need to send a message saying I think O&C is simply fantastic (I have actually been a regular reader for quite some time) and I have a huge amount of respect for what you do, how you do it and what you have achieved...

Not a question - just a comment on the recent Editor's Letter. I'm a 24 year old female and have only recently discovered your website. It has certainly taken me a long time to discover and appreciate my sexuality and to reach that "healthy" point. I think your aim here is excellent. Female sexuality is multi-faceted and is not something anybody should feel ashamed of. People have wondered why I and my sister are so insistent that masturbation is an integral part of a healthy sex life. We just want others to be able to realize what they are missing and to take control of their sexuality. Hopefully someday more men and even women will be able to proudly express their sexual desires.

Just wanted to say "Keep up the good work!" We too experience the ol' double standard - you'll never please them all and nor should you try. If there is one thing we have learned about women's sexuality is that there are no givens. What works for one will not work for another so it is all in the eye of the beholder. Be well, be sexy!! - Sandra, SheVibe.com
Thanks again! And please we love your comments, always feel free to write us and let us know what dirty subject is on your mind.
xoxo
Jordan & Samantha
