In the SF Pride Parade 2008: my mom Theresa Sparks, myself, and my soon-to-be-adopted sister, Margaret Cho. Photo by Jonathan Moore, the adorable straight boy who handed out marriage equality stickers all day Pride sunday. * Shoutout to the SFBG! Pics: Some famous faces of Pride. It was 8:30 am sunday morning and I was…

Look out, SF
Oh my gawd. I’ve just been told that *the* Donna Sachet is on her way to my house. It is slightly nonconsensual, but Friday has now begun. I’m about to be picked up in a limo to join a bevy of HOT and powerful (like, as in San Francisco politics) transgender women and some very…
Pretty girl Friday with Andrew Blake
It’s really tough to go wrong with Andrew Blake. This week I’ve gone through and handpicked a smattering of free (free! do not buy!) galleries with some seriously scrumptious pretty girl friday action going on. Above we’ve got a still from the gallery featuring Elle, Erica and the uber-hot Aria Giovanni. Not much happens between…
Sex toy care and feeding
Image of Electra from this gallery. Well played, Babeland! The women-focused retailer now has a complete sex toy care, safety and maintenance guide on their site, and also in a very nice downloadable .pdf (in case you wanna put it on your iPhone). They’ve got a few good tips for anal, G-spot and P-spot play…
Luxury wearables
Recently I posted about the new line of high-end vibrators from JimmyJane exclusively in white; I’ll continue that trend with some luxury wearables I’ve discovered over the past few days. Don’t worry, I can’t afford them either, but that’s not the point. The point is to want, to drool and to dream! First up is…
Japanese sexploitation mecha gore
If you dislike horror movies, hate gore and have an aversion to violence (and erotic themes mixed with it), definitely skip this post. However, if like me, you were weened on Creature Features and Fangoria, cope with depression by re-watching Evil Dead 2, loved Planet Terror and get excited by girls kicking ass in Japanese…
Hot boy Thursday
Image “Morning Alarm Clock” by xray1929. Hot boy thursday is turning into quite a popular little recurring post. Because, I think, you just don’t see this sort of thing anywhere, and going to gay male sites for the same guys and “types” just doesn’t cut it for most of us. And I’ll admit freely that…
Hooray for the Pride Guide!
Image by my friend Richard Kadrey. This week’s SF Chronicle column is an especially jubilant guide for SF Pride, Your Extra Sexy Pride Guide. I’m so excited for this weekend! Seriously, the honeymoon starts right now. In this column, I had a lot of fun doing one thing I especially love, which is calling and…
The facts of Bonk
Image of Marilyn Monroe via reading.sexy. I’m reading Mary Roach’s superb nonfiction book about the science of sex right now (while editing an erotica collection and writing the intro for Best Women’s Erotica 2009). She’s definitely squeamish about kinky sex and BDSM (sad!) and a little nervous about sex in general, but it’s still an…
When transparency does not equal erased
Image via reading.sexy. This week I’ve been feeling like that episode on Buffy where things turn invisible, except it’s just on one corner of the blogiverse, and it didn’t really hit home for me why it means more to me than it did — especially as a blogger — than when I read the post…
