Image via chubbear426. The post title sounds sensationalistic — which it would be if it were not true. Be prepared for the facepalm of the year, because it’s real. Basically, an evangelical district attorney in Wisconsin sent a letter to schools saying that anyone teaching the new sex ed program as mandated by state law…
Year: 2010
Anti-gay propaganda alert: US schools
Image by Eddie Colla. Hot off the front lines, so I’ll just quote the source (with permission): FYI, the so-called “American College of Pediatricians” (americancollegeofpediatricians.org) has just sent a letter to schools across the country, giving supposed information about how to deal w/LGBT students. The letter links to this site: factsaboutyouth.com. It looks all official,…
Remainders: From SXSW 2010
That’s me bringing the sexy to the Nokia VIP rooftop party, with the Austin Convention Center behind me. Outrageously talented “rock star” photographer WM Salsberry just uploaded his photos from this year’s SXSW in Austin, Texas — and I had to share this one with you. I think this one of dotBen and I came…
Sex addiction as seen by Dr. Marty Klein
Are you like me and really starting to feel the hypocritical sting around the label “sex addiction” and not sure what to take seriously anymore? In An Epidemic of Sex Addiction? Dr. Marty Klein relates recent experiences talking to patients (and potential clients) about their dubiously, casually diagnosed “sex addiction.” I wish everyone reporting on…
Chomp chomp: Pac-Man pasties
What a great game. Although I think the custom pasties made and modeled by French hottie Lady Tornade should be on opposite nipples. There’s always one aggressive breast — ladies, am I right? (via Yuhmm)
A moment with pretty Anabela
Features from women-run, women-owned Australian site I Feel Myself are always a delight in my inbox. Case in point is the newest shoot with Anabela. There are more after the jump, and they are a bit explicit. (Photos are linked to IFM’s main page, for sadly they do not offer hosted galleries with their updates.)
The lie of unbiased reporting, again: CNN and Japanese sex culture
Image by exquisite vk photography. It’s my opinion that one of the intersections in which we can truly see when big news outlets misbehave is when the subject is sex. This it not only my opinion, it’s my experience. I’m referring to when I worked at The San Francisco Chronicle (SFGate.com) and they ran an…
A few of my favorite things: The VB List
Amazon / Babeland This weekend I added an Amazon widget of my favorite things to the right sidebar. This is a response to many, many requests for a ‘Violet’s Favorite Things’ feature. The VB List is for your sex life, and vetted by me: good, safe, hygienic products, solutions to sensual needs, exciting ideas to…
And the winner for iPad porn is… Pink Visual
Image by Richard Kadrey / Kaos Beauty Klinik. I hate to open up a post by talking smack about other features, but if you were a sucker like me and clicked on the ‘The iPad is Made for Porn’ article on NewTeeVee (via Techmeme) and felt like you got tricked out of your click and…
Senator John McCain on Guys With iPhones
Many of you know that I’ve been a longtime, early fan of amateur gay site Guys With iPhones, and I’ve featured them here a few times over the years. Their simple site displays all kinds of men taking self-portraits with their iPhones, in various states of dress and undress, all in the spirit of diverse…
