Image by Ellen von Unwerth via superwrong. This week’s column for the SF Chronicle is more personal than usual, but that’s what’s great about being a columnist. It was written with the forethought that it would be my last of 2009, last of the decade, and published on NYE. It was also written with the…

Junk foodz: End of the year sex lists
Image by the girl who tamed the tiger. I love those end of the year — or this year, end of the decade — sex wrap up articles, lists and posts. I decided not to do one for my column this year, though I may do something to that effect tomorrow here. But for right…
Great post on a condom use basic fact
Image by helenaa75. A colleague in sex ed posted a great short item about condom use that covers a little known fact about their use: latex condoms dry things out. Even pre-lubricated ones. I can’t count how many times I’ve advised on this topic over the decade, and it always surprises people — and most…
(In)security theatre
One hour ago I posted on Twitter that bloggers have been served supoeanas and had their computers confiscated for posting TSA guidelines. Yesterday, these bloggers’ posts were the only point of sanity and fact my partner and I could find to use to prepare ourselves to be able to follow the rules and laws in…
My visit to London Coco de Mer
Human hair whips, blonde and auburn, respectively. Right before the holidays I got a chance to visit one of the London Coco de Mer stores (there are two; there are also two stores in the US, Los Angeles and the brand *spanking* new New York store). It wasn’t any ordinary visit to a Coco store…
Top ten sexy geeks 2010
Photo of h4wt Sexy Geek runner-up Dr. Kiki Sanford by Mike O’Donnell. Better late than unsexy; this year’s nerd lust list is being posted a few days after the traditional date, yet more carefully considered than usual and hotter than your MacBook Pro’s thigh-burning battery. Why more carefully considered? For one, there are more sexy…
Sex toys that will change your life
Image of the life-changing Iconic Rabbit (which I want!) by Pat Law. This week’s San Francisco Chronicle column is one of my favorites of the year; it’s called Sex Toys That Will Change Your Life Violet Blue: Can a sex toy change your life? For many, the answer is yes. A short while back I…
More Frédéric Fontenoy
I did a post featuring the photography of Frédéric Fontenoy in October; friend Katie West points out that 180 Magazine has an entire set of his newer work called Chambre Noir that is absolutely stunning. How does he do it? Well, in an unintentional moment of clicking around, I found the above video and it…
Excellent post: Ms. Naughty’s Porn For Women Retrospecive 2009
Image by Vorfas (vorfas.blogspot.com). There is little for me to add after reading the inimitable Ms. Naughty’s new post, Porn For Women Retrospective 2009 (msnaughty.com). It surprised me to see myself in it so much; I’d forgotten what a big year I’ve had in the media. Never mind me; do not miss her incredibly thorough…
Devil in Miss Jones + Massive Attack + Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star)
Watch the video after the jump; someone was a crap programmer and made it autoplay only, and I never surprise you with nonconsensual autoplay video experiences. Hit [click to continue…] at the bottom of this post to watch it; it’s fabulous! I’ve been able to track this video back about five days on various blogs,…
