Snippets:

  • AVN Online
    This smartly designed quarterly e-zine proves websites can be strikingly designed, content-rich, mostly free, and still profitable... Corinna seems to have found her calling in distributing safer sex info and feminine erotica in her own unique voice via a network of femme-friendly sites, of which Scarlet Letters is one. Other sites in the network offer sex-positive educational materials to teenagers. (Corinna calls it "sex education for the real world.") Scarlet Letters pays its bills with the barest minimum of advertising and hard-goods sales, but ads are neither intrusive nor out of design step with the site as a whole.
  • Anne Semans and Cathy Winks, in The Woman's Guide to Sex on the Web
    "Editor Heather Corinna is an engaging, non-doctrinaire advocate for the philosophy that sex is sacred." In The Woman's Guide to Sex on the Web, Semans and Winks rave that Scarlet Letters "benefits from quality erotic writing and general high spirits... the all-female staff dishes up erotica, non-explicit art, poetry, excellent editorial rants and an advice column... Scarlet Letters's content exhibits and appreciation of the sacredness of sex."
  • The Austin Chronicle
    "Scarlet Letters [is] red-hot woman-centric erotica for the Hester Prynne in all of us."
  • Betty Dodson, renowned sex expert and author
    "Cancel appointments, be prepared to linger!"
  • Bi.org
    "Quality cutting edge... breaking the boundaries and borders of erotica."
  • The Boston Phoenix
    "The sexy pro-girl alternative to testosterone soaked, male perspective pornography."
  • Flare magazine
    "A smart and sexy online magazine devoted to erotica from a woman's perspective. Art, photography, fiction, editorial and much more."
  • Italia Online
    "Celebrates the feminine sensuality with intelligence." (translation)
  • Jane Duvall, Jane's Net Sex Guide
    "One of my favorite discoveries... the best webzine of 1998."
  • Libido Magazine
    "Punch unto Scarlet Letters to keep your glow glowing."
  • On Our Backs Magazine
    "An impressive array of hot photography, provocative features, cool fiction and poetry, plues reviews of videos, web sites and sex toys, and even interactive message boards and chats. A juicer, less high-brow version of a literate smut site... the site encompasses a broad range of sexual identities and proclivities, so even dykes can find something to float our boats."
  • Playboy
    "Healthy, relaxed sexual ethos... beautifully written and designed."
  • SheBytes Magazine
    "This site goes beyond just the fiction writing, articles and photos and provides readers with forums, chat rooms and VR (vitual reality) raves. The site is owned, operated, and edited entirely by women and boasts a readership of over 65% female. It's sexuality from a feminine perspective and it's all in good."


12.07.06: Scarlet Letters -- in case it isn't glaringly obvious -- is currently on an extended hiatus. The web has changed, we've changed, and we're trying to figure out how we both fit together now, which isn't a process we want to rush.

In the meantime, by all means, enjoy our years of past content, all of which still remain in the public and subscription areas.

If you're looking for more current SL-related content, you can have check out upcoming books from editor Heather Corinna and previous co-editor Hanne Blank, check out Heather's current sexuality sites, or explore sites through the femmerotic network. We hope to be back with you soon, as fresh, challenging and unexpected as ever.
