Image from Secretary, via. An update on the state of sex and cinema has been long overdue. IFC did it in their excellent IFC’s Indie Sex Mini-Series, which started last night and runs through friday saturday: it’s airing in four parts on the IFC channel right now (after midnight, of course). I didn’t get to…

Hey flirty-pants
This week’s column is locally focused: a fun guide to some (of my) favorite places to flirt and hook up in San Francisco. When I leave the house, that is. Snip: About a month ago I provided some comments for a Men’s Health piece about “finding men” in San Francisco, and I told the writers…
Susan Mernit’s thoughts on organizing the female sexblogosphere
Someone I like (but don’t really know), Susan Mernit, has a great post up on the BlogHer blog about her thoughts re: how she’d categorize some of the leading women in the sexblogosphere. It’s a fascinating, well-thought post, with lots of really interesting female sex blogs (and bloggers) put into four distinct categories. I think…
Italian translations!
A whole box of them just arrived — Italian translations of my first book (and its sequel) Sweet Life 1 and Sweet Life 2. w00t!!!! Eeeeee!!!! But the irony here for me is in the re-titling of the books (compiled into one volume, above). You see, I named my first collection of explicit erotica for…
Lara Jade sues
Regular readers will remember a few months back when the Lara Jade scandal erupted. I wasn’t the first one to write about the porn company that used one of her self-portraits (taken when she was 14) to sell re-packaged “classic” porn (and her plea for help on Flickr), but I did write a fairly high-profile…
Well hung links
Image by Captive Girls, @. I haven’t done one of these in a while; let me distract you for a bit…. * Fun stuff: Mind Fetish Bedding Company is introducing a huge new line of high-quality leather and rubber housewares to their inventory, so customers can better integrate fetish into their homes — as if…
Dildos 2.0
Sharing is caring, seen @ Kink.com; friday night. (Kept next to the condoms, so sharing is sanitary, m’kay?) The other great photo from the weekend — birdbath = bloodbath?
Can’t sleep: Christine Kessler
Site portfolio is Flash but still entertaining.
Say what you want, 4am version
After taking care of Hacker Boy with a 100+ fever all weekend and trying to meet deadlines (and enduring an insanely sex-negative, biased interview with Details asking about how women in porn are a result of ‘childhood trauma’ and questions about porn’s ‘psychological damage’) I get *this* idiocy from Times Online UK: And there are…
Kink.com’s super-awesome 2257 PSA
If you’re not familiar with US federal 2257 regulations, you can read about them on Wikipedia and on Fleshbot, and even quite a lot on this website. In a (very opinionated, slightly tipsy) nutshell, they are a set of laws that are in place ostensibly to prevent underage people from becoming porn performers by making…
