Last Monday Seattle resident Jason Fortuny (and a friend) carried out a thought experiment into reality — one I think anyone who has surfed Craigslist sex ads has entertained. He took a hardcore Women Seeking Men ad from another city and reposted it to see how many replies he could get in 24 hours (the…

Sex toys contain toxins
As I’ve described previously in this article, this podcast lecture and as it was all Boinged last March, mass-made sex toys contain toxins. But now someone’s doing something about it, read Sex Toys Contain Toxins. Snip: “The Hague – Environmental group Greenpeace called on Friday on the European Union to ban the use of chemical…
Sexy sexy Seattle
When people think of Seattle I think they conjure… rain, Microsoft, coffee, bad movies like Singles and Sleepless in, bad TV sitcoms — also, the fierce WTO protests, the (now sadly defunct) Infernal Noise Brigade and a restless art scene. Coming to Seattle for HUMP! has had me really thinking about how much the sex-positive…
More yay Seattle
Okay, so now I’m a super nerd; I’m in a cute hipster bar that has wifi by myself (Chac: surrounded by cute guys + girls), sipping beer and blogging. It’s *that bad*. But hey, as you can see by the small selection of pics in this post I had a hell of a day. I…
Yay Seattle

iTunes and sex podcasts: My long conversation with Apple

The post in which I admire San Francisco Planned Parenthood’s nice tool
I mean, my local Planned Parenthood Golden Gate has a terrific tool-themed commercial — with a very sexy construction worker babe in the starring role and a *great* idea for how I should be storing my safer sex supplies and sex toys. Here’s a link to watch the .mov video and one to watch the…
TSA porn
On wednesday, I will walk up to one end of a long line of men. Sometimes there are women, but it’s always mostly men. They are there to watch me, and I am there to be watched. I start at one end, smile at the first man I encounter, and begin. Slowly. Carefully, I take…
Latex fetish, iTunes, nude contortion; another day in my inbox
Judging the Vloggies
Irina Slutsky has asked me to be a judge at the upcoming Vloggies! She actually said last night, “Blog that I asked you to be a judge and that you said yes.” This is going to be a *lot* of fun. Vloggercon 2006 was one of the best conventions I’ve ever attended for a million…
