- “I read (and sometimes write) all kinds of insane and wonderful filth, and I don’t in any way think the fact that Nancy has apparently written about twenty different dubcon fics about Loki getting fisted by the Hulk makes her a bad person or a pervert or anything other than a prolific writer.”

- Years ago, the theoretical possibility of an artificial uterus gave rise to the idea of gestating a baby outside the mother’s body rather than transplanting the organ.

- “I found out about Las Vegas’ defunct erotic CD-ROM convention because I was wondering if there had ever been a murder at CES. As far as I know, there hasn’t – at least, that’s what a Google search tells me. But in my fruitless search, I caught a piece about the death of Comdex, a massive consumer electronics tradeshow that rivaled CES until it shut down in 2003. And alongside it, there was another name: Adultdex.”

- A Japanese artist who makes objects such as phone cases, kayaks and picture frames shaped like her own vagina has been charged with distributing ‘obscene’ data.

To the courts, anyone who’s been arrested for sex work is raw material, incapable of making his or her own choices.”

- Warning for sexual abuse, trauma and assault survivors. This is so fucked up and disgusting and wrong I almost didn’t include in in this post, but it’s so repulsive I think it should be called out, and called out hard. Some idiots in the mainstream porn industry have decided to make porn as a comedy about Bill Cosby’s multiple and horrifying rape accusations. Their names are ‘Director Will Ryder’, X-Play and Pulse Distribution, Misty Stone, Thomas Ward, and others. Ward told XBIZ, “I would like to thank Mr. Cosby for giving us a reason to create this new movie (…)”

Disgusting. As if the industry hadn’t already run out of ideas. There’s nothing funny about parodying possible rapes
It looks like porn films in the UK might need certified analyses of bodily fluids to prove they are within the law.
