About

Hi! I’m Jayne. I am a 30-something cis bi femme (she/her) writer and editor based in Montreal, where I live with my fancy little rat, Benny. I am a nocturnal creature who runs primarily on a diet of dark academia memes, fiction novels, anxious pacing, frequent hair style changes, and popcorn. And I’m a Smut Queen.

What is a Smut Queen?

In 2016, a series of bizarre and magical events allowed me to cross paths with the folks at Bellesa (NSFW!) — porn and sexuality platform that centres the experience of women and femme folks and aims to dismantle the misogyny rampant in mainstream adult media by promoting sex-positivity for all.

Bellesa is a platform on which community members can find free and ethically sourced porn videos, read intimate erotic stories, explore sexual health articles on the Collective, shop for sex toys at the BBoutique, and watch the most authentic, pleasure-filled hd porn by Bellesa Films/Bellesa House.

I don’t remember who first dubbed me with the title of Smut Queen, but it was easier than cycling through writer, founder, VP, Editor-in-Chief, Madame Curator, of all things Erotica at Bellesa, not to mention sex toy connoisseur and reviewer, dildo matchmaker, cheerleader, social media manager, gopher, office urban legend, etc etc etc. 

So it stuck, and the rest is herstory.

On this blog you’ll find erotic fiction, overshares about my actual sex life, things I think and lament about when I’m not writing, my perspectives and experiences as an erotica editor like the story of my first professional dick pic, tasteful nudes, news about the sex writing community, and whatever else makes sense at the time.

While you’ll find the bulk and the best of my work at Bellesa, my erotic words have also been featured in Oprah Magazine and Cosmopolitan UK, and I’ve been published in Best Women’s Erotica: Vol 5 and Chemical [se]X 2: Just One More.

In 2018, I this blog earned me a New Voice Award on Molly’s Top 100 Sex Bloggers, and ranked the following year when Kinkly also named me one of the top Erotica Blogs.

I really had no idea what I was doing when I started on this journey. But it was the overarching drive to be a part of something bigger, and to invite others along for the ride that inspired me in this direction in the first place. And that’s what continues to drive me today — the intention of fostering a mutually supportive community of authentic voices and providing safe, inviting spaces for people to discover, explore, and own themselves as sexual beings.

I strongly believe that erotica writers and what we do, what we offer, especially to the voices that have gone unheard and underrepresented for so long, is incredibly important work. And I mean that very seriously.

At Bellesa, we’ve built one of the top destinations for ethically sourced, consent-centric erotica on the internet where literally millions of eyes are visiting every month, and it’s still just the beginning. More and more centres like ours are cropping up all over the web all the time and it’s amazing to have had this really cool vantage point of how people like us, people like you are changing the narrative on sex positivity and sexual agency in real time.

I’ve worked with some of the best, in my boastful opinion, erotic storytellers of our time. A very impressive collection of folks and they smutty, sex-positive heroes this world needs right now — unapologetically honest voices who have been bold and generous with their talents. It has been a privilege to watch them succeed and an honour to learn from them along the way; it’s easily one of the best parts of my job so far.

But the coolest thing might be that, at the core of all this, this all just started with writing smut and being honest about what we like as humans instead of letting the pressures of shame or social prescriptions force our hand. 

That’s what made all of this possible and why you’re here reading this now.

That is some serious power, and it never fails to both shock and humble me every time I stop to think about it.

I’m so stoked to have you come on this sexy adventure with me. So charge your vibrator, pour yourself a glass of something nice, take a look around, stay awhile, and let the good vibes buzz on!
