Image by i want some15. I know plenty of people who have online loves and remote lovers, but is it a sustainable model? I don’t mean in the long-term love sense, or the hot sex forever sense — in the *green* sense. Slate doesn’t think so. Snip, sans external links: You’re sitting in the airport…

The unbearable lightness of being Sasha Grey
I’ve had Sasha Grey on my mind a lot this week; I don’t know her personally, but she’s popped up in my life a few times over the past year in some fairly significant ways. She really hit my frontal lobe last week when Fleshbot covered some on-set sideline footage of leading-lady Grey working with…
Carlos Batts does Chuck Palahniuk’s “Snuff”
These are the new covers for Chuck Palahniuk’s book “Snuff” by artist and filmmaker Carlos Batts. Carlos said I could show you these as an exclusive post as long as I put up a link to his film “Kiss Attack” on Amazon and told you all to buy a copy. Thank you, Carlos! Also, don’t…
Repress it, and they will come
Image via. Oh come on — for these truly freakish news items about churches and porn, you know there were like a million really *bad* posts titles floating around in my head. The kind that make you really mad at me, and laugh just a little, groan painfully, and then withhold your clicks for at…
The geek girl’s sex toy: Mia
There isn’t much for me to say about the new, hot MIA vibe except that I want one really bad — and after reading Jiz Lee’s review of Lelo’s discreet USB charging purse-sized accessory (“… you’ll never have to go to Walgreens to buy lame batteries ever again”), I have little to add. That is,…
Fucking hot erotica a la Alison Tyler
Image by DarkDaze, via High On Sex. See also: DarkDaze on Flickr. This weekend my dear, dear friend Alison Tyler had a Fucking Hot contest — sadly, it’s over as of today (that’s what I get for being behind in my email, sorry!). But, the greatest thing about this contest, to me, isn’t what one…
UK scouts actually learning to “be prepared”
The article’s link to the new sex ed guidelines issued by the Scout Association is broken (plz fix, thx!), but the article about the Boy/Girl Scouts’ decision to give sexual health advice and condoms when needed is pretty astounding in what it means to teaching kids survival skills — and how sadly it reflects on…
Google Maps mates with Casual Encounters
I’ve been waiting for something like this — the clever people at hookupmaps took Craigslist’s Casual Encounters and Google Maps, rubbed them together until smoke started coming out of the unholy union, and made a fabulous combination. Go to your city/location, click a filter (m4f, etc.), play with listings and you can even use satellite…
Tasty Flesh: Live nude zombies xxx
What’s better than tough, hot naked girls battling zombies? Not much in my book, especially when my favorite holiday of the year is approaching — and to have this above pinup land in my inbox this morning (with a wonderful note from the artist’s sweetheart saying that she sent it because Miss October reminded her…
Voter guide to sex and queer rights
Image via magandafille. Two issues in the American election are very personal for me: sex education in public schools and gay rights. Sifting through the muck of rhetoric and putting together puzzle pieces of rushed talking points and obfuscation during the debates hasn’t helped, so I’m extremely happy to see that AlterNet has put together…
