In 2007 I blogged about finding Chinese artist Shu Yong‘s then work in progress: many fiberglass, huge-breasted tiny fairies, on a scale that is both awesome and unsettling. As I discovered on Daze Reader, Shu Young’s sculptures have now seen the light of day and are causing quite a fuss since being installed in a…

It’s not rope: Couture Shibari in Exit Magazine
This fashion photo shoot is arresting in every sense: the mood, feeling, sexiness and my incessant wondering what the metal “rope” is made of that they used for the very nice Shibari (Japanese art of rope bondage). This is a fashion photo shoot for the insanely sexy Exit Magazine, featuring Shannan Click photographed by Dan…
Objectify me: Hot for Jimmyjane’s new Form 2
I heard it was in development, I read the pre-press materials (and got inspired for a theory I have about designer sex toys), and still had no idea what Jimmyjane’s Form 2 was going to be like. I mean, I saw a photo. They described it in text. Still, I haven’t held one in my…
Consumer Reports on condoms
Consumer Reports is such a tease. I’ve always wanted to be the host of a sex Mythbusters. Or host a “how things are made” show for sex. Or the host of a Consumer Reports for sex show. So when CR does anything about sex, I get all rosy-cheeked and excited. I only wish that in…
Danae Whispering’s tumbleblog
If you’re not familiar with danae whispering, she’s a self-identified female sexual submissive who has been blogging about her sexual adventures, views, and general experiences as a former escort who has a pretty regular life (packed with interesting observations, giver her point of view) for almost ten years. I recently discovered danae’s exquisite tumbleblog, “kinda…
The “Hand of God” bra
Maybe you saw this on Cherrybombed in late October — or like me, you didn’t. The “She’s Mine” video is in Chinese, the “God’s Hand” technology is made in Japan…. Or perhaps it’s divine breatsial intervention. Either way, this ad for incredible new boob [technology] is hilare.
The industrial sex technician: An interview with David Henry Sterry
Image by Alexey Naumov. In my recent SF Chronicle column I had the exciting opportunity to interview David Henry Sterry — after being wowed by sharing a stage with him at Supperclub. His answers had me and my editor at the Chron doing a double take; here Sterry confronts sex work from every angle. I’d…
Two much needed emails
Self-portrait by Kristamas Klousch. I know that a) my column has gone live on its national newspaper site and b) that I’m home when I get these two astounding emails. I don’t need to look to know what’s being said about me: being a woman and writing about sex is a job no girl should…
Gratuitous sex research pr0n
Image by Julia Skobeleva. When you’re a sex educator, lecturer, researcher and all-around sex geek, data and research related to sexuality is its own pornography. I can never seem to get enough — it’s so fascinating, titillating, the information itself is totally irresistible. For a sex research perv like me, the October 2009 (Volume 12,…
Tiny Nibbles: Best online sex resource for women! (Self Magazine)
Self-portrait by Tatiana Reis. Exciting news! Tiny Nibbles is named among the just-announced Self Magazine’s “Best Sex Resources for Women” — only nine were chosen, and the accolade is so fantastic to receive. It feels *so good* to be recognized for all the hard work putting all these resources together, plus the ongoing dedication to…
