A roundup of other people’s lists that circles the globe, ranging from talented sex bloggers and bright sex educators to entertaining mainstream media candyfluff. These lists are my favorite end of the year guilty pleasure, and I’ve been culling them just for this post.
It’s been a good year to be bad.

* Charlie Sheen, Al Gore (and masseuse), Christine O’Donnell, DADT, The Slut Gene, It Gets Better, Assange, more. A gallery – love these year-end, make-you-click-100-times posts, eh? Nay. But Daily Beast’s Year In Sex 2010 gallery is mildly entertaning, at least. (thedailybeast.com)

Sex and fashion (haute couture): when my fave fashion blog died, I found FGR off a link from their site – many have reposted them since.

* Facebook and syphillis, Clitoraid, Sex Lies and Pharmaceuticals, more. In the UK, beloved sex educator Dr. Petra Boyton does a tidy wrap on her view of The Best and Worst Sex and Science Stories of 2010. (drpetra.co.uk)

VB note: The two main things I felt went overlooked in 2010’s pop culture sex roundups were True Blood and Lady Gaga.
