Lots of cool stuff filtering through my inbox these days — while I’ve been on deadline for an an erotic anthology all weekend, it’s nice to let them build and then make a pwetty post out of it all.
Karen from Sexy Latex emailed asking me to check out her site — and while *I don’t do link exchanges and if you email asking me to link to you I probably will delete your request* holy huge lickable latex tits, Batman! The photo is via, and after cruising her archives, I think she’s got great taste in her post choices, the site is clean and they post thoughtfully (no popups, etc). Nice sex blogging, Sexy Latex.
The notion that Apple dumped the Sex is Fun podcast from iTunes is making the internets (here too) and I’ve been emailed more than one alarmist link about it. However, I seriously doubt that Sex is Fun (who are friends of mine that I support wholeheartedly) was purposely dropped as a result of any moral cleansing on Apple’s part. My Open Source Sex podcast was dropped in the first round of filtering (and resurfaced with an “explicit” lablel), but Apple very publicly made amends with me — and when my podcast got bumped again, I spoke with techs who explianed to me that it’s not a human-run system. I just poked through all my email with Apple and they told me iTunes is an automated system (one opinionated quote is that it’s a “POORLY automated system”). All episodes of Sex is Fun are still in (or back in) iTunes; it’s likely the drop and accompanying email came as a result of iTunes’ “report a concern” automation. So I really doubt there’s a conspiracy here; they certainly do censor our text with ast*risks, but truthfully, Sex is Fun is really one of the more mild sex podcasts in the iTunes directory. They wouldn’t be the first to go, is all I’m saying.
And ooomfffgg — these photos are unbelievable — reader Z sends me this must-see link to a LiveJournal post with outrageous, well-shot photos of Olympic-contortion-sports fetish themes, with gorgeous naked girls who have really incredibly puffy lips. And not the ones on their faces. Amazing.
