Just so there’s a public record of my recent experience with Amazon Associates, I’m putting it all on one place below. The short version: Amazon terminated my Associates account with vague language about unsuitable content on one of my websites (this one). After reaching out to tell me it was a mistake, but asking me…
I heard a sharp intake of breath from the man sitting next to me and it was really only then that I consciously realised what was going on, or at least got an idea of what it could be. The strangest thing was that it should have crept me out but for some reason it…
I haven’t typed the words “Sex Blog Roundup” in a very long time. Back in 2005, when it was just Jonno and I running Fleshbot and the commercial porn industry hated us for not being one of them (and for being pro-indie, pro-internet, pro-sexpositive culture, pro-queer, pro-woman, pro-PoC, etc), I was the one who compiled,…
With tonight’s showing of SNAPSHOT for the 2017 Frameline Film Festival, the film is officially released to the public! This post is an explicit collection of stills from the film, provided by my friends at the film’s superb studio: Pink & White Productions.

If you write, make art, shoot film, or create anything about human sexuality, on most platforms you simply can’t be found. You are silenced, or not allowed. Or you get banned. That’s why today I’m giving you a little push for #GivingTuesday — the day to give back, after the shopping gluttonies of Black Friday…
In around 10 minutes, The Double Feeling: Fleshlight documentary by Kataskop Film provides a look into the making, packaging, and a little bit of the use of popular men’s masturbation toy, Fleshlight. The editing isn’t tight, so expect a few awkwardly long lingering shots of people looking uncomfortable around the factory, and also expect some…
A recent article about porn director Erika Lust at Refinery 29 was titled Porn That’s GOOD For Women. I like the thought, but I wish they’d explained what porn that’s good for women means, exactly. I agree that porn can be very good for people of all genders and orientations for a lot of reasons.…
The legendary “little black dress” is the weapon of choice for unicorns — single girls who hunt couples for sex, and the topic of my next erotic collection (Sexing the Unicorn). Last weekend I held a cocktail contest to determine which drink would be the book’s perfect “Little Black Dress” elixir. The contest got more…
“Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg added that since Kilgrave’s rape of Jessica Jones was a key part of the season and her backstory, showing that Jones’ sexuality wasn’t defeated by him was important. “Balance dealing with rape while having her sexually active, the word ‘survivor’ is the important part of that. Certainly the assault has become a…
