Fleshbot is a sex-oriented weblog, founded by Gawker Media. It was launched in November 2003 as the third online title from Gawker. The range of subject matter includes everything from amateur sex blogs and thumbnail gallery posts to news about sex in popular culture and advertising. The blog covers both heterosexual and homosexual erotica[1] and users have the ability to filter between the two if they choose.
At launch and into the early 2000s the site was edited by Lockhart Steele, syndicating content and commissioning posts, from a number of well known sex, culture and adult industry writers including Violet Blue and Samuel Agboøla (writing as Sam Sugar)[2]. Fleshbot was often distanced from Gawker Media, its name being removed from their network-wide masthead on more than once occasion.
Fleshbot was later edited by writer Lux Alptraum, who went on to own the site from 2012.[3] In February 2014, Fleshbot was purchased by SK Intertainment from Lux Alptraum. It was announced that Alptraum would remain with Fleshbot as a contributing editor.[4]
