Four years ago, Cliterati was set up to provide women with decent masturbation material. It was a mad idea, fuelled by lust (or, more to the point, a need for decent female-friendly wank material) and set up for love not money. Since we launched, things have moved on. Female masturbation isn't quite as taboo as it used to be, more women than ever before own a vibrator and last year, the word 'Cliterati' even won an award from the American Dialect Society in the 'most outrageous' category (they defined it as 'the collective noun for feminist or woman-oriented writers or opinion-leaders.') But who would we be if we were happy to settle for that? Certainly not members of the Cliterati. We're always looking for something new and exciting to do - and so Scarlet was born.
Scarlet is a no bullshit sex magazine for women. It launched at the end of October after nearly two years of planning between the Cliterati founder and the ex-publisher of the Erotic Review. And if you like Cliterati, it's probably for you.It's got pervy stories in it, to start with - and they're proper smut, rather than toned down 'romance' stories. And it's also got real sex features. Forget trying to find some 'new G-spot' or learning 'ten new sex games to play in bed tonight'. Scarlet looks at the stuff that really impacts on you: how to say no when a bloke asks to take you up the jacksy (or how to make it incredible if you want to say yes) What to do when you move in with a bloke and suddenly your periods are more regular than your shags. Why not shaving your bush can be the sexiest thing in the world (and how to avoid stubble rash if you do decide to bare all). It pushes the limits - the Daily Mail have already got all outraged about it. And it also has seriously foxy photography, courtesy of Sauce Goddess and the hottest new artistic talent around.Still not convinced? Well, you get a free vibrator if you subscribe for a year - and not some rubbish hard plastic thing: a proper Jessica Rabbit which has been tested and loved by the Cliterati team. So, if you appreciate getting loads of free wank material from Cliterati, support the idea of women getting off, or just like the idea of a free vibrator sign up for a subscription to Scarlet. And hell, Christmas is coming up so buy some subs for your mates too: it's easier than picking from the multitude of sex toys out there.Oh, and if you like the idea of having work in the mag, you're in a great position to get it. Scarlet is always looking for fresh new fiction writers - and anyone with good sex feature ideas or erotic photography too - so use the contribute a story button if you like the idea of getting involved.Scarlet's a magazine for women who get what they want. And surely, that's you. Isn't it?
