Uh-oh. Rihanna’s S/M lawsuit loses fair use: The judge finds that the common theme of S&M and elements like leather—or latex-clad women, whips, ball gags, people in restraints, men on leashes, and other aggressive, sexually-charged motifs—are NOT protectible. However, his selection and orchestration of props and the way he controlled “angles, poses and lighting” do…

Zimbabwe Senator Calls for Mandatory Inection of Drug to Curb Male Desire
A Senator in Zimbabwe wants the government to do research “into a substance that will make men lose appetite,” to curb men’s “insatiable greed for women,” because, the Senator says, when designing “these parts we use for mating” God didn’t know about HIV.

[Video] And Other Delicacies by Simon Bolz
I’m definitely becoming a dedicated fan of Simon Bolz. In his video And Other Delicacies, model Marjana seduces the viewer with hypnotic precision while touching herself in ways that are searingly sexy without being cheesy or gratuitous.

Men Who “Buy Sex” Commit More Crimes; Newsweek, Trafficking, and the Lie of Fabricated Sex Studies
An old-school radical anti-porn, anti-prostitution activist known for criminal antics is in the news again, portraying a heavily biased anti-sex-work survey as science, when in fact it’s the same message Melissa Farley has been screaming her entire career. Sadly, press outlets like Newsweek, Reuters, Jezebel and the Sydney Morning Herald are taking the bait, ignoring…
[Video] Naked Beauty and a Timely Lion by Sylvie Blum

Eye Candy: Flexible
When I was a little girl, before my home life imploded and I became homeless, I was a voracious reader at a very young age. (When I wasn’t in front of a computer or in Silicon Valley testing games – my mother’s friends all worked for tech companies.) For some reason, along with horror and…

Florida Criminal HIV Transmission Law Overturned in Same-Sex Cases
Remember back in mid-May of this year when Florida lawmakers finally passed that anti-bestiality law they’d been working on for three legislative sessions — partially because of the legislators’ reluctance to discuss the bill because children sometimes attend legislative sesions? Remember more recently, when (according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune) “a state representative was chastised for…
California School Claims Its Own Yearbook is Child Porn
At Big Bear High School in San Bernardino County, somebody waited until the yearbook had been distributed before pointing out that one of the book’s photos featured a high school boy with his hand up his dance partner’s dress. Rather than doing what school administrators would have done back in my day– which is completely…
