It was a tough race, and we received many many applications from sex-positive, intelligent folks, but in the end we could only pick six people to review porn, books, and butt toys for us!

So keep your eye out for brand new reviews from these folks in the coming months!

Research Girl

Research Girl is a university professor who lives and works in fabulous Las Vegas. When she’s not in the classroom molding impressionable young minds, she can be found researching and writing about various aspects of popular culture and the sex industry, hiking at Red Rock Canyon, and indulging in all things vintage Vegas.

Heather C. Nelson

Heather C. Nelson is a menace. Whether cooking up a storm of vegan deliciousness for Salt of the Earth Collective, or helping her friends better use rope in the bedroom. She always finds a way to keep philaldelphia safe, sane, consensual, and full of tasty, healthy, vegan delights.

Purple Prose

I’m a 32 year old woman who loves books, music, knitting, travel and sex! I am happy to say that I have introduced more than a handful of people to the joys of sex toys. I’m straight, single and a Scorpio which means that I have a hell of a sexual appetite (hey it’s the only astrology fact that I know and the only one I need to prove there is something to this astrology stuff). It’s probably a very good thing that I don’t own that vibe that vibrates in sync with music because combined with my large collection of black lace erotica books, and CDs, I would never leave the house. Mmmmm Vibratey…

Will Shaking Spear

Raised a son of a a preacher man (the only one who could ever teach you), he hails from the South. He is a sex advocate (the personal is political) who learns more everyday. I am working on my MFA degree…when I am not touching myself.

Lev

I am a sex postive queer dyke who believes sex is fun and pleasure is good for you. I know tons about toys. I watch porn, read about porn, write about porn, and make porn. I’m very excited about reviewing products for Early to Bed!

Joe

Joe is a fine, upstanding member of the community who lives in a Chicago suburb with a pretty wife and two kids. He considers himself open and adventurous, and believes there’s so much to be gained from trying new things. He thinks people tend to stick with what they know and get caught up in taboos and limitations, but knows there are a lot of guys who would benefit from knowing that someone like them shouldn’t be afraid of this stuff.
