You’d think they’d know better after three months ago, a 22-year-old woman and her mother sued Best Buy and its “Geek Squad” computer repair team for dispatching a technician who filmed the daughter taking a shower (using his cell phone). But then, last week a sting caught a Geek Squad tech red handed, on video,…

Lesbian gangs on Fox News, redux
For this week’s Chronicle/SF Gate column, I developed my drive-by post about the Bill O’Reilly lesbian gangs segment into a full-on exploration of the piece — discovering some extremely interesting, underreported items along the way. In the same way as driving by a car crash and slowing down, peering into the stories Fox News exploited…
Thomas takes off the (rubber) gloves
I have a lot of issues with porn reviewers. Why? Because most of them lie. They lie like dogs, like a rug on Burt Reynolds, like the lyingist liars that ever tried to come up with another word for “female performer” and thought that “cumslut” was appealing (or even a word). They lie to keep…
Fun with Dacia!

Nebraska considered harmful
If you work for a state program in Nebraska, you can’t use the word “sex” or “sexual” in any of your public media. The state government of Nebraska hasn’t outright stated that they’re “doing it for the children” but what they’re doing right now is certainly destroying the children (and poor) by withholding sex information.…
Waiting for Audacia
Sounds like a romance title, but maybe for a cupcake and panty romance. She’ll be at my house in an hour; while I wait and print author contracts for Best Women’s Erotica 2008 (nice cover, Cleis), dig the Vixen’s recent interview on Bookslut: “Alt porn” is hot right now. Violet Blue just gave her adult…
[Video] Reuters: Japanese sex dolls
Reader nightbird emails me saying, “Saw this while reading a Reuters article on Griefers. Thought you might be interested…” It’s too bad I can’t embed their player, but do visit ‘Love dolls’ woo Japanese men to watch the video (beware: autoplay). There’s no new news in it, but instead a short look at a *serious*…
Sunday: More Satanic sex panic
My dear friend Thomas has some really interesting thoughts about the 10 Zen Monkeys sex panic interview I posted a day ago, and talks about being a porn writer while dating and living in the very sex-negative, anti-porn feminist climate of circa-1980 Santa Cruz, CA (home of UC Santa Cruz). Image from the truly terrible…
Speaking of fetishes, oh, CFNM how I adore you…
Image via this free gallery. I recently discovered a nice nest of CFNM blogs (clothed female, naked male) via my Australian, female pro-porn pal Ms. Naughty’s superlative CFNM resource guide. They’re all connected somehow, and link to affiliate paysites, but the pics and video samples are all free and a whole hell of a lot…
A fidelity fetish
Monogamy is its own kind of fetish. To wit: the heteronormative, yet consumable in a disposable, bag-o-chips kind of way article in the Guardian UK today, Is anyone faithful any more? I love these articles for all the sweeping assumptions and generalizations they make, like reading Star Magazine, but for the perceived “cheating is an…
