  • “I collect porn parodies of literature classics,” John Waters told Page Six. “Someone gave me ‘From Here to Maternity’ once. I’m always looking for those kinds of classics. They don’t cost anything, it’s just finding them.”

  • Ministers in the Netherlands have confirmed that it is legal for driving instructors to offer lessons in exchange for sex. Prostitution is legal and regulated in the country, where workers are considered “self-employed” and can openly advertise in newspapers and online.

Erin Esurance

  • Designed to be hip, exciting, and fast-paced, Erin stood for everything Esurance believed in. She was not only the company’s answer to Geico’s ubiquitous gecko, but a formidable marketing tool for recruiting their intended demographic — 18 to 24 year-old males — into insurance policies. That demographic liked Erin so much that they made porn of her. Lots of porn.

  • Bruce Schneier noticed this “porn dog” story, and it’s basically the same one we saw come up when Jarde Fogle (former Subway dude) was busted for CP and other grossness. The story about these “porn sniffing dogs” was unverifiable, and it’s weird to see it re-appear. Bruce asks a really good question: What exactly are these dogs (allegedly) trained to sniff for?

  • “Ariel X trained for several years before earning her purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. She still trains to this day, and has added Muay Thai, Sambo, weightlifting and running to her regimen. During any given week, she can put in as much as 18 hours of training—all in service of keeping herself primed to compete in Ultimate Surrender, a fetish porn submission wrestling website where women fight to claim sexual conquest over one another.”

  • Scientists are performing some pretty hard science these days, so of course a GIF of a couple having intercourse inside an MRI machine is going viral on Reddit.

  • UK Broadband giant Sky will block “adult content” by default for all new customers, the company has announced. Sky said the move would result in “much greater use of home filters”, but customers could still opt-out if they wanted to.

  • The Food and Drug Administration has lifted a decades-old, lifetime ban on blood donation for men who have had sex with other men, replacing it with a 12-month “deferral” period that prohibits such donors from giving blood for a year after their last same-sex contact. The National Gay Blood Drive, a group that has pushed for rolling back the decades-old ban, said that while it supports FDA’s updated approach, “the revised policy is still discriminatory.”

  • This is Tibet’s annual gold rush. Yartsa gunbu is so highly valued as a medicine that it often sells for more than its weight in the metal. It has many purported benefits, ranging from preventing cancer to curing back pain. But what makes it so prized is its supposed ability to improve sex lives. It is often described as a “Himalayan Viagra”, good for treating erectile dysfunction and (in women as well) low libido.

  • Globally, sex workers face a 45% to 75% chance of experiencing violence over their lifetimes, based on several studies. LGBTQ sex workers face even higher rates of violence. Decriminalization of sex work would have a clear effect on sex worker safety, according to SWOP-USA communications director Katherine Koster, and it could be the key to reducing the threat of violence.

  • “Yet even as penis theories fly around, a dime a dozen, we can barely say the word vagina. We seem to only be concerned with the evolutionary trajectory of dicks. It’s fair to ask, then, how we should be having the conversation about vagina size, especially given science’s (relative) lack of interest in this question and the striking dearth of media coverage devoted to it.”

  • “Take the case of 22-year-old Madeline Smith. In 1857, this beautiful and well-connected Glasgow socialite was accused of murdering a humble clerk called Pierre Emile L’Angelier. Her weapon of choice was a mug of cocoa laced with arsenic. The nation was gripped, scandalised and titillated by reports of her trial, which included windowsill trysts, pre-marital sex and a cache of passionate letters.”

  • “A week later, full of happy excitement about our new project, we learned that every scene we had filmed had just been criminalised under new UK porn laws. It would now be illegal for us to publish any of them. These honest depictions of our sex, pleasure and intimacy had been deemed so extreme that even informed, paying adults couldn’t legally watch them.”
