Dirty Words: Plus-Sized Author and Perv Kelly Shibari’s PaddedKINK Ebooks

The gatekeepers of publishing have been overrun by technology, and now the hoi polloi are free to express themselves in print. They’ve stormed the ivory tower of literature and have leveled the playing field so that anyone can play. The bookstore and library, already dense with books, is a mere footnote to the open data available immediately online. In this glut of information who will save us? 

Enter Kelly Shibari, who describes herself on her twitter profile as the “1st-Ever Plus Size @PenthouseForum Cover Girl. @Guide2WickedSex #PlusSize. Intelligent hedonist. Former roadie & PD. Perpetual Zen hunter. Believer in karma.” She’s also a hunk-a-hunk-a burning love. And she’s willing to write about it in explicit detail. That’s a win-win for the one-handed reader, just be careful where you spread the love, for electronics and ejaculant don’t mix. 

She recently announced the official release of “PaddedKINK 1” and “PaddedKINK 2,” both ebook anthologies featuring plus-sized fetish erotica, which has been compiled from the weekly updated, Feminist Porn Award-winning site, PaddedKINK. The ebooks are available for Kindle, Nook and all desktop formats, so you never have to be alone again on a Saturday night, or any night, or day. It’s said that the mind is the sexiest organ, so use it.

“Part of what made PaddedKINK unique and groundbreaking when it was live, was its goal to showcase plus-sized people in the kink lifestyle who actually performed BDSM and fetish scenes in their private lives,” says Kelly. “In addition to weekly video and photo updates, the site presented weekly erotica updates – it’s how I first became aware of my own sexuality, and I knew others also wanted something beyond just the visual.”

Kelly continues, “When I shuttered PaddedKINK in 2012, I knew I still wanted to do something with the content. We carefully selected the best erotica updates from the site, and I’m extremely thrilled to now be able to present these eBooks to the public. I hope everyone loves the stories contained within these two volumes.”

Will everyone love the stories? No. Will perverts who twisted and dementedly warped senses of sexuality love the stories? They will. And they should. For sex doesn’t have to be vanilla, even if vanilla is the world’s favorite flavor for a reason. The reason being that it tastes best. But without those more exotic tastes how would one even define vanilla? There needs to be context, even in kink. 

Few are better equipped to provide us with that sense of boundary-breaking sexiness than Kelly. She worked in mainstream film and television production for years, and in order to break the rules one must first know them. At least that’s what I was taught in the very expensive and impractical art school I graduated from. 

One must walk the walk, not merely talk the talk, or read the read, as the case may be in these kinky volumes. Media and culture has turned us away from the hotness of curvy goddess, but Kelly proves that we do so at the risk of our enjoyment. There’s more to her to love, yes, but there’s also more to experience than vanilla sex.

For seven years she’s been a trailblazer in the world of adult entertainment, from the PaddedKINK website to she self-produced and -marketed DVDs, and the industry is watching, having nominated her for both XBIZ and AVN awards. She was named 2013 and 2014 BBW Performer of the Year at EXXXOTICA’s fan-based awards, The Fannys, and also named Best BBW Performer at the 2013 NightMoves Awards. Kelly was featured in the Rammstein music video for “Mein Land,” hand-selected by iconic director Jonas Akerlund to appear as the only plus-sized model in the video. And it’s no secret that she’s a favorite at Fleshbot, making the cut of our Top 10 Crush Objects list for 2013. 

Do any of you readers read any more? I’m not sure. Sometimes I feel as if these posts are sent into the void, but I have faith that there are some of you out there who aren’t completely visual learners, for whom the written word continues to offer the promise of new experience. If you’re out there, and if you’re in fact reading this, then give your mind and your penis a treat and read the PaddedKINK collections. You’ll spank me one day.
