The 30 Most Erotic Books You Will Ever Read
At this point, the sexcapades of Fifty Shades Of Grey are starting to feel a wee bit tired. Sorry, not sorry Christian Grey. For those looking to update their shelves with one-handed reads that hit all the erogenous zones, we've put together a list of the 28 sexiest books you will ever read. Snuggle up with one of these good, good sex reads, that spans different decades of sexual exploration. No one needs to know what you do under those covers, but these books all know how to get your heart racing. Sometimes that's by hammering down on taboos like merman sex or orgies that include over a hundred people. There's even a book that spans the length of a single blow job. This list includes a genderqueer retelling of Peter Pan and a gender-swapped update of Pretty Woman. There are pulpy novels that are straight-up smut (Oh, hello, Anne Rice!) and novels that take an intellectual look at female sexuality. Some will get you off, while others, well, won't. Alissa Nutting's Tampa isn't exactly erotica, but it will definitely make you wonder why Lolita is. That's kind of the fun of the list. Your kink might not be someone else's, but there is nothing sexier than sex positivity. So cue Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP" and start clicking through this slideshow. A one-handed act that will leave your other hand free to do whatever you like. At Refinery29 Australia, we're here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff.

Travis and Taylor Swift's love story: Kelce jokes he's living a 'flipped Pretty Woman' life as they reveal matching lock screens
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift just made their relationship Instagram official in the most subtly coordinated way possible: by revealing their matching phone lock screens. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end dropped a 13-photo Instagram carousel this week, showing off his offseason adventures with Swift, and eagle-eyed fans quickly picked up on a detail that screamed couple goals. Both phones, resting on a dinner table in one shot, display black-and-white images of the couple, confirming that even their tech is in sync. But that was not the only recent reveal: Kelce also took a playful jab at himself for walking right into a viral joke about being Swift's 'Pretty Man.' Matching lock screens and Instagram debuts In a carousel posted Thursday, July 24, Travis Kelce gave fans a peek into his offseason—featuring multiple cameos from Taylor Swift. The standout detail? Both of their phone lock screens captured the same romantic black-and-white image of the couple. Kelce's screen was clearly visible, while Swift's was partially blocked by a glass. However, fans were quick to connect the dots. The photo reel is Swift's first official appearance on Kelce's Instagram, emphasizing just how public and playful their relationship has become since going official in October 2023. From skating rink snapshots to nautical outfits labeled 'captain' and 'first mate,' their vacation photos painted a picture of a couple enjoying downtime without a packed tour or training schedule. The 'reverse Pretty Woman' joke Kelce couldn't dodge On a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis and Jason Kelce reviewed Pretty Woman, the 1990 Julia Roberts film, leading to an unscripted comparison that quickly escalated online. After Travis pitched a gender-flipped version titled Pretty Man, Jason jumped in: 'You're living Pretty Man right now.' Travis, laughing, admitted in a follow-up Instagram comment, 'Yeah, I walked myself right into that one.' The Chiefs star also joked that he'd be wearing 'nothing but a tie when Taylor comes home,' leaning fully into the bit. Jason chimed in on the platform with, 'Does this make me Kit?' referencing Roberts' on-screen best friend. Fans loved the exchange, but even Kelce knew: the setup was all his.

Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce gets new nickname in Podcast
Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce is living a real-life romantic comedy that his brother Jason joked could be a 'Pretty Woman' movie in reverse. The duo, who have become increasingly popular with their New Heights podcast, shared some light-hearted banter about the classic film. He recently highlighted Travis's high-profile relationship with global pop icon Taylor Swift. During a recent New Heights episode, the Kelce brothers discussed the iconic movie Pretty Woman . Travis sparked the conversation by suggesting a twist: a movie called 'Pretty Man.' He imagined a CEO billionaire woman so refined and high-class that she's clueless about everyday things, according to Athalon Sports. Jason quickly fired back with a joke that hit close to home. 'Travis, you're living Pretty Man right now,' he said, causing both brothers to burst into laughter. The comment playfully referenced Travis's relationship with Taylor Swift, portraying him as the high-class 'Pretty Man' in their dynamic. This banter offers a fun look into the personal lives of these two athletes beyond the football field. The story of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift adds an entertaining crossover between sports and music culture. In South Africa, where both American football and international celebrity culture continue to gain interest, their relationship highlights the allure of celebrity power couples worldwide. Jason Kelce, a well-respected NFL player himself, also revealed how their podcast has grown in popularity. It's a platform where Jason and Travis Kelce give fans a peek into their lives, blending sports insight with humour and brotherly love. Their playful references to Hollywood blockbusters like Pretty Woman show the lighter side of professional athletes, often lost amid headlines about scores and drafts. As their story unfolds, audiences can appreciate how the Kelce brothers blend charm and wit. It's proof that, beyond athletic prowess, personality and relatability can captivate fans worldwide. In Travis's words, straight from the podcast: 'We might just have to produce the 'Pretty Man' movie. Because I think I'm already auditioning for the role.' And judging by Jason's laughter and quick quip, this 'Hollywood remake' is very much underway, with Travis Kelce starring as the leading man.

French-Armenian Designer Véronique Nichanian on Shaping the World of Menswear
Rana Atef Véronique Nichanian, the artistic director of Hermès Men's Universe, joined the French luxury brand as a designer of ready-to-wear menswear in 1988. Before Hermès, she worked for 12 years with Italian fashion designer Nino Cerruti, eventually co-leading the men's collections, after graduating from the École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne in 1976. She is one of the few women who design menswear collections and emphasizes color, the blend of traditional and innovative materials, and meticulous detailing — the hallmarks of Hermès' understated elegance. When asked, 'What's your idea of a perfectly dressed man?' Véronique responds: 'I don't conform to fixed ideals of masculinity; I believe men should express their individuality through their style. My design process isn't about creating a fixed look; I focus on crafting each item as a distinctive piece. I begin by designing each item — whether pants, a jacket, or a sweater — before carefully combining them. Each piece is designed to stand on its own, allowing for versatility and personal expression. When curating fashion shows, I choose pieces as one would from their own wardrobe, emphasizing a natural and authentic approach to dressing.' She adds: 'I'd like more people to realize that we're not just making clothes — we're making clothes that are meant to last. I'm very clear about where I'm headed, and I strive to make fashion more exciting for men each season by proposing new fabric combinations and introducing new materials. Not necessarily new shapes, because I love simple shapes that deserve reinterpretation. You need to touch the fabrics and wear the clothes to notice all the details. I know how to design a sharp suit, but the challenge lies in defining a casual yet elegant style. I don't want to be classic or traditional, nor do I want to follow trends. I want to stand at the edge of modernity.' In a way, Nichanian has accomplished for Hermès what the brand itself set out to do. When Hermès appointed her to lead the menswear division in 1988, the house was undergoing reinvention under Jean-Louis Dumas, the grandson of founder Thierry Hermès, and was far from the ambitious powerhouse it is today. Nichanian not only laid the foundations of Hermès menswear, but can also rightly claim to have built the modern men's clothing line stone by stone — beginning in an era before GPS, Pretty Woman, and the World Wide Web. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...
