Saturday Night Nibbles: Porn Virgin Hymen Cam, Real Apollo 12 Porn, Oprah’s FTM Doc, More

* No, I’m not at the live Kink shoot where a model is “lost her virginity” tonight. There was supposed to be a “hymen cam” and I’m 100% sure that this is what the hymen cam looks like. Peter Acworth invited me (thank you!) but I’m on massive book deadlines. The marketing for this porn shoot was a disaster, totally saved by the grace and intelligence of Kink’s CEO (Acworth) joining us in online discussions and making things right (even for the typically anti-porn feminists at Jezebel: Pornographer Never Meant To Offend With Hymen Cam). Meanwhile, tonight as the event occurred, Dana DeArmond (who like vocal critic Maggie Mayhem is a Kink performer) was not amused.

* While NASA publicly denies the concept of sex or masturbation in space, we now have proof of space wank on the form of an actual piece of porn that has been to the moon and back. A piece of memorabilia from the Apollo 12 lunar mission is up for auction – a much loved, well-worn Playboy centerfold: Miss DeDe Lind, Playboy’s Miss August 1967 (above).

* A really fantastic post about what porn is really like for many women these days – it’s not the horror of men who demand anal (aka humiliation), shameful genital waxing, or unrealistic stereotypes we’re being told it is by mainstream media. Highly recommended and a nice, sane reply to The Atlantic and Guardian UK’s anti-porn hysteria so far this year. The modesty of the porn generation (Salon.com)

* I want to hear Oprah talk about FTM’s, and talk about trans identities. Someday. Think it will never *really* happen? Don’t be so sure, as this film is headed to Sundance: Oprah’s OWN Acquires Docu ‘Becoming Chaz’ About Ex-Chastity Bono (deadline.com)

* Okay, I want one: The Portable Japanese Bidet (weirdasianews.com)

* All praise the Mighty Staff of Gandalf, then hear the tragic news: Sir Ian McKellen Has Sad News for Hobbit Fans: “There’s No Sex in Middle Earth!” (vanityfair.com)

* Unofficial but OMG I can’t wait! I have a new book Total Flirt and a hot Total Flirt app coming out in 2 weeks – sooner than expected. The book is “The Game” for girls, and the app is a (non-douchey) pick-up/flirting guide for everyone. YEAH! Open source flirting techniques! Official announcement, video trailers, purchase info very soon! (thetotalflirt.com)

* Speaking of books and Kink – legendary BDSM writer Laura Antoniou had an anniversary book signing (a celebration of coming back into print) and live-action enactment of scenes from hallmark book The Marketplace – a book that is gorgeously written and inspired a lot of respected, successful, and of course, pervy people. This is what it looked like. (post image via, theupperfloor.com)
