Photo by sigkate. For the recent installment of Art Of Restraint I was asked to come as press and share the experience — with the usual boundaries and respect for those who don’t want to be outed, of course. A gift and a privilege, right? Except this time I didn’t make it due to a…
Month: August 2009
Gayness only lasts a couple episodes
My new favorite online show is Bryan Safi’s That’s Gay! Above, he explores the bizarre world of made-for-TV lady kisses. You will LOL and maybe even ROFL. Get some Kleenex for the tears and drool. It is second only to Connor Knighton’s work, the crowning glory to date of which is Look What Came Out…
The sex-positive link shortener: vb.ly
Screenshot of vb.ly, original photo by dotBen. “Bravo!” —cNet Last week I launched vb.ly — the world’s first and only sex-positive link shortening service. Scott at Laughing Squid added in his announcement post that it was built by dotBen and hosted on Laughing Squid’s new awesome cloud hosting service. We’re floating in the clouds, awww!…
Friday Nibbles: Serial Numbers on Breast Implants, Craigslist Sex Crime
Image of Conie from this gallery. It’s a sex news roundup, after a very busy week of sex news… A gruesome murder and gender hysteria are just the beginning. * I’ve been following the discovery of missing swimsuit model, Playboy pinup and Howard Stern model Jasmine Fiore — her body was found stuffed in a…
Neuroscience and sex
Another great photo by Curtis Joe Walker. Last month (thanks to, and with my friend Ed Hunsinger) I got exclusive access (more thanks to CerebralHack) to try a NeuroSky headset and video game that I controlled with my mind. I’m not joking — read more in this post (cerebralhack.com). As you can see in the…
Porn studios in line of fire over condom use
Image by Richard Kadrey / Kaos Beauty Klinik. Down the page you’ll see the post “porn workplace safety” — my post with an article about HIV, STD testing and the porn industry that I think is one of the most honest, unflinching and comprehensive articles I’ve ever seen written on the topic. It was originally…
It’s SXSWi panel voting time!
Image by malecution. It’s not until next year, but the voting opened for panels at South By SouthWest Interactive 2010. There are a good number of sex and porn panels up for votes, though I’m not in them! I’m excited to ask you for a vote on our panel (which includes Twitter’s John Adams), How…
Uber-erotica
Image from Übersinnlich: Cato Van Ee in Vogue Germany September 2009. I’ve been working on upgrading all the second and third level pages on this site for several weeks; today is a huge milestone. Behold the freshly-fluffed, multimedia-rich new erotica page, and all the pages it links to. Phew. And — apologies for the ghost…
This week’s SF Chronicle column: Sperm facials in high-end NYC salons
Image by the amazing Stuntkid. In this week’s column, I explore the (not so) brave new world of New York spa delivered “sperm facials.” It’s called The Skinny on Spermine: Not Exactly Snake Oil – Violet Blue: Straight guys getting sperm facials “for science.” It’s a wrong, wrong, wrong comedy of terrors. Here’s a snip:…
Mistress Deanna’s big pepper
Image by Curtis Joe Walker. Today many things happened. I launched vb.ly (more on that in a minute). I got an angry letter — really a signed letter sent via an assistant’s email — from the owner of Good Vibrations telling me all the ways I am wrong. And a dear friend sent me the…
