Testimonials & kind words
“One of the best sex bloggers out there is a marvelous smarty sweetheart who goes by the name Girly Juice.” –Tina Horn, sex writer, podcaster, and pornographer
“Kate has been blogging at Girly Juice for years now and her writing just keeps getting better. Every time I don’t know how she’ll top herself – she does. I have such a crush on her writing! She is eloquent and funny, able to evoke solidarity and empathy in her posts about mental health just as easily as evoking affection and compersion for her sexual escapades. Not only is her writing consistently good, but it’s consistent. It’s abundant. She has endless ideas and nothing seems half-assed. AND she can sing beautifully. AND she is half of the dynamic podcast duo The Dildorks. AND she writes a lot for publications outside of her blog. AND she keeps a spreadsheet of her sex life. What can’t Kate do??” –Lilly, sex blogger
“This blog always hits us right in the gut, delivering honest assessments of everything from sex toys to the pain behind a tough breakup.” –Kinkly.com staff
“A talented writer with a voice all her own, Kate Sloan is someone I look to when I want accurate no-nonsense sex information delivered with a bit of humor and maybe an unexpected lesson or two (her sex writing steered me toward my favorite lipstick!). Honesty, intelligence, wit, and an uncanny ability to pull keen insights from even the most mundane circumstances make Kate Sloan one of my absolute favorite voices talking about sex today.” –JoEllen Notte, sex writer, speaker, and researcher
“Kate has this delightfully dorky voice that emanates through her writing. It’s knowledgeable, funny, passionate, and so uniquely her own… Everyone brings something different to the table. Kate Sloan brings her whole self: confident, smart, open, honest, and accepting… She’s been pretty inspirational in a number of ways. One of which is that she’s confident in the whole of who she is. Her quirks make her more admirable because she owns them.” –Layla Studies Sex, sex blogger
“[Kate] writes about sex that you can relate to like no other. Not hiding anything about herself, she brings everything to the table with her quirky, smart, and honest writing.” –Lubezilla staff
“It’s not exactly breaking news that Kate writes some very sexy, vulnerable stuff… Kate laces eroticism into introspection like nobody I’ve ever read before.” –Betty Butch, sex blogger
“[Kate] is a talented and exciting writer and her blog is well designed and structured… In my opinion she is absolutely brilliant at what she does.” –Molly Moore, sex blogger, photographer, and author
“You’re like a modern-day, sexy Shakespeare!” –Mandi, sex blogger
“Kate Sloan has a really interesting style that I find hard to describe, other than it seems like it should be read with a constant smirk. However, her writing can be really vulnerable and self-reflective…” –Finn, sex blogger
“A lovely girl who has been reading my site — & writing to me! — for YEARS, started Girly Juice about a year ago. She reviews sex toys. It is awesome. Read it!” –Gala Darling, lifestyle blogger
“I love Kate’s style. Her posts have driving points that she uses emotion and fact to get to. As I come into my own style as a blogger, I find that it’s more and more influenced by hers… I feel connected to Kate every time I read her articles.” –Indigo Wolfe, sex blogger
“I’m gonna steal your brain in your sleep… You are just articulate and coooooool and have ideasssss.” –Epiphora, sex blogger
“You’re super cute!” –Erika Lust, feminist pornographer
