An Erotic Panties Story

The following is a true store. Names have been changed!

Many, many moons ago when I wore a child's clothes, my family visited neighbours down the road. One of their kids was a girl named Nissa who was one year my elder. She was pretty and had long, black hair.

I can't remember exactly how the circumstances came to be, but she was doing homework in her room (or something like that) and I either wandered in or was told to go see her and talk to her about something. She was lying on her bed and I was standing next to the bed between it and her dresser.

As we talked my eyes wandered around the room, taking in the scenery. She had the typical girls stuff and nothing really caught my attention. Nothing that is, until I looked over my left shoulder at her dresser. I guess it had been laundry day and someone (probably her mother) had left a pile of her clothes on top of the dresser to put away. At the top of the pile were a stack of her panties. White cotton and a few other soft pastel colours like blue and pink.

I quickly became excited over the fact that I was seeing Nissa's underwear...something people back then took great steps to avoid revealing. I soon realized that I had been staring a little too long and turned my head back to Nissa. She had been following my gaze and knew exactly what I had been looking at and she blushed. I probably blushed to. We finished our conversation and I left to go play with the other kids there.

The fact that I have such a strong memory back then centered around Nissa's panties just goes to show what a profound power embarassment and underwear have over me.

Unfortunately by the mid-1990's the general perception of underwear changed from that of "secret items of clothing that you would blush over if anyone managed to sneak a peek of " to "designer items with fancy labels designed to be displayed as a status symbol". Girls started exposing their Calvin Kleine labelled waistbands and their bras were changed to reveal lace at the neckline of their shirts. The fun and mystery of underwear was largely ruined for me.

That being said, there's still a lot of great erotic out there featuring underwear (or where underwear plays a prominent part). Take StripGameCentral, where you can see videos of girls playing all manner of everyday games and with each round the loser (or losers) remove their clothing until a loser is nude (but they spend a lot of time in their underwear). And of course I've already talked about Spandex Babes in a previous post. Sure, those videos are about spandex, but the girl always strips down to her panties (or less!) when changing. If you love panties those videos won't disappoint you.

So did I ever see more of Nissa? Unfortunately, no. She went to different schools than I did and ultimately went into the dental field and got married. C'est la vie.

I wonder if she remembers the day I saw her panties? I wonder if she blushes when she thinks about it?

eBooks Galore and more!

It's been an interesting week.

Back when I was doing my pilot project in May/June, I was approached by Rachel & Carl from Rachel's Lace E-Rotica about participating. They didn't join the pilot but I re-contacted them to see if they were interested now that we were live and had some sales and other content providers. They were interested and proceeded to create our first eBook store: Rachel's Lace: e-rotica! And while I expected them to only have a couple of books to put up, they've put up 11!

And that's not all! They also invited two other eBook authors who have begun the process of setting up shops...so the site is growing and that's great news!

I've been making little changes to the appearance of the products page and added some additional functionality to the shops page. I'll be turning my attention now to allowing multiple files associated with a product (currently it's just one). That way it will allow eBook authors to provide the popular various formats (ePub, .mobi, etc.) to the customer when they buy the item!

eBooks and More

So my first eBook content provider will be opening shop in the next day or so. It's exciting and it's been a learning experience as I've gotten some good feedback on how eBook authors would like to use the site and the sort of changes I need to make to better support eBooks.

I also got an email from an EU-based erotica producer...they had several questions that my FAQ's didn't answer which was good to get as just about all my content producers have been American and didn't require the same type of information as he did. So I've been updating the FAQ to include his questions (and the appropriate answers). Unfortunately the draconian cotent restrictions I presently have to abide by are hurting his ability to publish a lot of his content at Mall of Erotica.

One of the interesting challenges from the eBook community is the ability to have several formats of the book (epub, mobi, html, text, etc.) available for download by purchasers of a single product. I hadn't originally considered this and as such the data model is currently "one file per product". I can change it, but it will require a fair bit of recoding and data conversion, but maybe now is the time to do it, as it's early enough in the game to be making big changes like that.

Besides, it'll end up being more normalized, and normal is good.

Mistress Trish Has Arrived!

As promised, we've opened a new shop at Mall of Erotica: Mistress Trish's Domme Shop. The first product is an audio file where Mistress Trish humiliates you and your tiny cock. She declares you her slave and talks about how she's going to humiliate you.

For only $2.99 you get over 6 minutes of Mistress Trish's sexy, seductive voice putting you in your place.

Please check it out, support Mistress Trish and the Mall of Erotica!

Oh, and if you have any requests, send them to mistresstrish {at} malloferotica [dot] com.


The other day I was at Wal-Mart at 11:00pm (don't ask me why) when a pretty hot girl walked past me wearing a shirt/dress/miniskirt combo that was made from some knitted material. As she passed by I turned to look her over and noticed that the material allowed enough light through to see the small amount of her legs not exposed. I couldn't tell what sort of underwear she was wearing but I knew she was wearing panties because I saw her later in the store pulling them out of her butt.

Despite just being one of those pretty faces that pass you in life, never to be seen again, I couldn't help but wonder if she'd be the sort of girl who would do erotic modelling. Are girls that dress in skimpy outfits the sort of girls who don't mind taking them off in front of cameras?

Pretty soon I'll be creating my own erotica for Mall of Erotica. While I have my own ideas and fetishes that I'd like to see come to life in pictures and video, I would really like to make use of the Mall as an opportunity for my models/actors to explore their own fetishes and desires...nothing fascinates me more than learning what turns people on. It's our diversity that makes life interesting.

And having normal, everyday people like the girl from Wal-Mart is what I'm striving for. The Internet is full of plastic and enhanced people having sex and that's not what I'm about. I want real people to explore their real fetishes and fantasies in a safe and fun way. And it wouldn't hurt if we all made some money doing it.

Luckily for me I have help in finding actors/models. I'm actually quite uncomfortable talking to strangers in real life and no amount of rehearsing is going to prepare me to approach a strange woman and ask her if she'd like to be an erotic model. Or guys for that matter.

I do always wonder how a woman would react to such a proposal? Would be she creeped out? Would she be offended? Would she be flattered? Would she say "okay...let's do this!"?

Someday I might build up the courage to find out for myself.

Coming Soon

This week Mall of Erotica will be launching a new store exclusive to MoE: Mistress Trish's Domme Shop.

I've gotten to do the post-production of Mistress Trish's first product, an audio file where Mistress Trish humiliates and emasculates the listener. It's been a lot of fun to work on it and a good technical learning experience.

I've also been making minor updates to facilitate administering the site. I've still got a couple of big items I'd like to release to help support the shopkeepers and users in general, but I want to make sure they're working perfectly before promoting them to production.

Stay tuned for further announcements. We'll also be announcing it in Twitter, so if you aren't already, please follow us: @MallofErotica.
