More on sex + body image, Immodesty Blaize, other jiggly links worth considering
Image of sumptuous British burlesque dancer Immodesty Blaize by the also-stunning Loraine Ross. * Bombshell Betty comments on the Ugly Violet (trolls and female sexual self-image) column I wrote, and takes the discussion ever further with more sage advice in body love/hate — and don’t miss her excellent post How to look confident when you’re…
The nightmare of free porn
So I’ll be doing a lot of text posts for a while, until I get a new set of backwards-skating WordPress workarounds figured out — like sharing this scary-accurate retelling of what it’s like to be a porn reviewer: the highs, and oh, the lows… The Pro Circuit: Free Porn, A Nightmare could have easily…

Today, my publisher sent me Erotica Revealed’s in-depth review, and I’m blown away. I feel sort of looked at from…
Kink.com pranked
I just got an email from my friend who works at Kink.com, reading: When I got to work at the SF Armory this morning, [name redacted], who directs Behind Kink, asked me if Peter’s Assistant had found me yet. I said she had not, why was she looking for me? “To tell you about the…
Quickies, the say it isn’t so version
Image of fierce babe Aprella, after seeing Yahoo’s new site for women, shot by the inimitable Kelly Lind. * Groan. Groan. GROAN (not the happy kind). And it’s not pink because…?

It’s not just a job
Image via Luna. Today I lectured at SFSI.org/UCSF Annex about oral sex and the many joys… and then came home to discover the wonderful work of Luna (image via). These were my oral sex lecture notes (in LOL), and here were the notes co-educator Thomas and I passed afterward, while the anal sex lecture was…
