In WP admin go to: "Settings >> Permalinks"

Under "Common Settings" choose "Custom Structure" and enter this:

/%category%/%postname%/

Now your links should look like this:

handrodeo.com/stories/category/handjob/eva-angelina-in-glasses/

One more very important step... you will need to update your .htaccess file (if you haven't done so already). Just add the code / follow the instructions at the bottom of the Permalinks settings page. It has the code that needs to be added to your .htaccess file in order for SEF URLs to work (mod_rewrite rules).

Also, if you want to get rid of the /category/ base name in your URLs you will need this plugin:

Top Level Categories

(just enable the plug-in, then it should work. No settings to fiddle with)

Hope that helps. If you run into any problems let me know.
