What if worlds turned into sex worlds?
Girls turned into tools for pleasure, Cocksleeves, Cum-toilets
Goddess's turned into sluts for men, that's what this is about

The next two months, until the War of the Worlds, passed rather quickly for James. He spent most of his time training his combat and practising forging and alchemy. The incident with the mercenary army spread far and wide, and the tickets that had been bought up for the war of the world started to find their way onto the black market or disappeared from the hands of the smaller factions that had managed to nab one at auction. The two nations of Soel and Hastoel were starting to flare up even...

There are many worlds out there. Some are shining examples of science, allowing us to travel between the stars and meet new sentient species. Some worlds are pure magic, and the swords and sorcery of mankind constantly battle monsters that have long gone extinct in the worlds of science. Finally we have worlds almost exactly like yours, except they may hold hidden worlds of magic, are home to aliens from other planets, or be the battleground of superheroes and supervillains. I turn your...

World Sex! When you know that a site has been here since 1996, it is hard to expect anything than good things to come your way, right? Worldsex.com is a free tube site that has managed to survive years and years, in fact, decades of challenges and has stayed on the top of the pops for so many years. With that being said, you might expect something that's going to blow your mind. Well, I browsed around the site, saw some good things and saw some bad, but like I like to think, the test of time is...

Although they came from the same planet, lived in the same town, and were both Seniors in the same high school, they were from different worlds. Clarissa was a brain.

Several years ago I wrote the story "Heels" which told the tale of a man and a magical pair of stiletto heel pumps which allowed the gentleman the ability to change into a fully functional female on a purely elective, part-time bases. Well, as fate would have it, another pair of those rather unique high heels has come into the possession of yet another young man. In a serialized, five part Tales of an Amateur Gynecologist (TAG), I have tried to explore how an avowed heterosexual...

If the fate exists and there's only one path for you, one choice you are destined to make in your world - then would making a different choice create a new world for you? Or would it have always existed with you in it? The choice you made the only logical one to make? If so - let the choices define you, and let them define the world you live in! Which world will you end up in? One where all the women are naked? One where all man are? One where owning humans is normal, or the one where all...

(Cover Art by SINccubi. Check out his art here: https://twitter.com/SINccubi) The premise is simple: A random woman receives an anonymous invitation to visit and travel a parallel world with one big caveat: They must do so completely naked. However, there are a few ground rules. This is NOT an ENF story. While the lead may be embarrassed to be naked at first, she should let go of her shame over the course of her route, and maybe, learn to enjoy being naked. As a follow up to the previous rule,...

In the Horny Worlds, everyone is horny and sexually open, but not in a free-use society. Natural and real-life laws and taboos are still in place but they are often bended and/or broken in secret for the pleasure of whatever naughty act the deviant in question wants. Incest is common but not spoken about, married men and women often cheat and swing on each other, and "rape" is not really rape. This is just the general setting though, the way people act in the world depends on what world they...

“Surprise!” Ginny yelled. Sally startled awake from her nap in the sunshine, outside the pool house of her multimillion dollar mansion. She looked up, but her gaze drifted downward. I must be having a wet-dream, she thought. “I brought two friends,” Ginny said. “I thought you might need cheering up.” The cheering up referred to Sally’s husband dying. It wasn’t a tragedy—the man had been in his nineties, but he had been good to Sally, taking her in and becoming a bit of the father she never had...

You get to write about a world where women are required to be naked at all times but men are allowed to remain clothed. You can approach this story in almost any way you want. Perhaps you want women to be nothing more than slaves to men. Maybe women are at a nearly equal standing with them, but still have to be nude. As for the setting, feel free to get creative there as well. Maybe your story will take place in the “real world.” Maybe it’ll be in a fictional country of your own making. Perhaps...

At the turn of the century it became a highly contentious question; was sexual orientation something learned or innate. More importantly, could it be changed. The mind is a powerful thing, and while orientation was shown eventually to have biological roots, one could build negative association with sexual contact with one sex, in the same way that accidental sexual fetishes developed in early life from exposure. Likewise in the same way, one could build up theoretically an entire sexual...
