Health
& Nutrition
American
Botanical Pharmacy (Dr. Richard Schulze)
Official Website of Dr. Richard Schulze, the sort of sensible
and direct practioner of natural healing and herbal medicine the Webmaster's
been searching for. The stress is on prevention, with no sentimental slop
attached -- none of the politically correct trash (Since when do political
affiliations have anything to do with living a healthy life?) that give
natural healers a bad name. Common sense, pure and simple.
Dr.
Joseph Mercola
Natural health information and newsletter.
Green
Med Info

medicine resource, available to everyone.
Marks
Daily Apple
"Our
ancestors evolved over millions of years under certain environmental conditions.
These conditions (the foods they ate, the amount of sun they got, the
sort of movement that was required of them to survive, etc.) shaped their
genome. While the world has changed in innumerable ways in the last 10,000
years (for better and worse), the human genome has changed very little
and thus only thrives under similar conditions. Simply put, if you want
a good future you better listen to the past."

Clean
Sheets
Updated weekly, this sizable magazine is "devoted
to encouraging and publishing quality erotic fiction, poetry, and art,
providing honest information and thoughtful commentary on sexuality to
the public, and fostering an ongoing discussion of sexuality." Endless
archives; well worth repeated visits.
Freddy
and Eddy
A fabulous couples-oriented site. Freddy and Eddy, a couple in a long
term monogamous relationship, say: "creating and maintaining this
site helps OUR sex lives"; and that's what comes across: they appear
to be having a great deal of fun while educating others along the way.
Many informative articles, both original and carefully selected from around
the Net; plus product, book, video, and site reviews. Also, message boards,
picture galleries, and many many links.
Libido:
The Journal of Sex and Sensibility
Founded in 1988, Libido was one of the first, and is one of the
best, erotica magazines. Included is fiction, photography, essays, news,
and poetry that is "sex-positive, gender-equal, and all embracing
in terms of sexual orientation."
Mind
Caviar
"Food. Sex. Literature. Art."
Nerve
"We have created Nerve because we think sex is beautiful and absurd,
remarkably fun and reliably trauma-inducing. In short, it is a subject
in need of a fearless, intelligent forum for both genders."
Ophelia's
Muse
"A Tiny Webzine of
Erotic Tragedies."
Sex
Education
Ask
Uncle Terry
"Uncle Terry (Terrance Lile) is not your typical writer and advisor
on adult relationships. He serves frank, down to earth, sometimes brutal
advice on sex and life. He uses humor and knowledge gained through extensive
reading and personal experience. He has the support of advisors from medical
and mental professionals to educators and clergy and pornographers to
prostitutes."
Scarleteen
Best sex education site for teens in existence. This site "educates
in ALL aspects of positive sexuality, including birth control, safe sex

The
World Trade Center Observatory
"In the wake of this tragic event, it is important to remember what
we lost. I believe it would be foolish to just remove our PhotoTour of
one of our landmarks and pretend it was never there. We want to let people
around this country and around the world see what it was or remember their
visit here."

LauraHird.Com

Many other authors are (quite thoroughly) showcased; also contains reviews,
a gallery, and lists contests and events. As the homepage states: "Regular
pick of the best new writing & stuff."
New
York Review of Books Electronic Edition

Amen’s mission for the magazine is to publish a premier literary

ShatterColors
Literary Review
"Exists to further the cause of shameless displays of emotion, of
whatever hue, in literary endeavor. The sensibility of SCLR is entertainment-oriented
as well as literary; far from finding these two qualities incompatible,
SCLR feels one cannot exist without the other."
Shit

Sonnet

and a forum for poets to share and discuss their own work."

Fork Hwy
"Is a website run by two very different writers and two good friends,
Katie Arnoldi and Kris Saknussemm.
It’s a mindscape where the language fetish is openly celebrated
- where we support and promote the work of friends and fellow travelers
- and where we investigate and discuss the lives and achievements of some
major figures in the arts and sciences."

Any man who storms about the house firing pistols into the ceiling
as his wife's giving birth is OK by us. Site contains many letters and
journal entries, chock full of wisdom such as: "And yet a little
tumult, now and then, is an agreeable quickener of sensation; such as
a revolution, a battle, or an adventure of any lively description."
Marie

An accurate (unprejudiced) bio, picture gallery, explanation of the "Diamond
Necklace Affair," and selected correspondence between Marie Antoinette
and her mother.
Online
Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors
Even-handed bios of all, with full citation of ancient
and modern references; plus family trees, maps, and imperial battles.

incest, insanity, intrigue, and lust.
