That’s the topic of this week’s Chronicle/SF Gate column, My erotica is not your child porn: When a sex blogger’s content is used for spam evil, Violet Blue has advice. It’s about pay-per-post, geek erotica, and child porn splogs — a true story I found myself helping someone navigate…
Month: October 2007
Catching up with myself
…That’s how I feel, anyway. Above image is my delightful discovery that my article about “Lars and the Real Girl” was not only in the sunday San Francisco Chronicle — but it made the pink section in a two-page spread! I bought it monday night, that’s how it’s going these days. In my last post…
Still breathing (heavily), under lotsa deadlines
* I’m presenting a five-minute piece called “Porn or Not?” at SF Ignite at the DNA Lounge tomorrow night: that’s part of my current insanity (plus my column deadline, this week’s is a doozy). * All I want to do is drink a cocktail and make a robot. And then drink another cocktail and make…
O hai, I’m in the Sunday SF Chronicle
Ooops, I almost forgot — I have to go out and buy one of those paper thingies; I’ve got a short article about the Hollywood film, “Lars and the Real Girl” in the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle. It’s my full-on paper debut, yay! Glad I remembered…

The first video, Kink Hosts International Conference on Sex & Technology, is from Behind Kink News — it’s a truly excellent segment that covers the conference succinctly, with great quotes by Monochom‘s Johannes. At the end, you’ll see bits of the opening night performance, with the girl who went a…
A great Google talk
Today I spoke to a packed (standing and sitting on the floor, even) room at Google about sexual privacy online in all forms, understanding sex and search (and who looks for it and why) and so much more. It was a tremendous opportunity to demystify sex and porn (and user perceptions of sexual privacy and…

The sex column about sex columns: Interview with Rachel Kramer Bussel
This is one of my most favorite interviews, ever: today’s SF Gate / Chronicle column is The Sex Columnist Meta-Universe. The openness, honesty and sharp articulate observations Rachel Kramer Bussel has about the state (and future) of sex columns is *amazing*. Note: she never, ever wrote an abbreviated version of the word “fuck” — that’s…
