- Stoya writes a no-nonsense piece on how to work in porn. “…porn isn’t just people with big boobs and giant schlongs in silly setups involving offices and pizza deliverymen. It also isn’t just people who are accepting of all body types/sexual orientations and strive to be as ethical as possible. Nor is it all high-gloss features, intense BDSM scenes, or content made by supposed amateurs.”

- Massive warning for survivors of sexual assault or trauma: this is an article on rape and arousal. It’s also extremely interesting, and I learned more about male rape. “Arousal and orgasm during rape happen. Probably much more often than we know. It is not a sign of guilt or pleasure.

- Now in 2nd stage trials, Lybridos. Viagra’s approach to impotence is a physical one: increase blood flow and let the magic happen. Lybrido and its sister medication, Lybridos, wouldn’t be that, although the former does contain a Viagra-like component. “A female-desire drug would be something else,” Daniel Bergner writes. “It would adjust the primal and executive regions of the brain. It would reach into the psyche.”
