Seven husbands crave same-sex trysts; their frisky wives can’t wait to watch — or join in. My new ebook, Bisexual Husbands.

  • “When it’s my turn, and I slip on the [Oculus Rift] headset and wait a moment for my eyes to adjust, for the image to clarify, while the headphones are placed over my ears… I’m not quite sure about the space because roughly human renderings of supine creatures to either side of me are fucking loudly. The depictions of the men’s penises are geometric and strange, almost tribal, and I catch myself staring at one of them. …Then a gentle tug, and the headset is off, and the time is up.”

  • One in 20 students in the UK have worked in the sex industry while studying at the university to make ends meet, according to a new survey that shows more number of them are secretly turning to the profession. Men were more likely to be involved than women, and the sex work ranged from prostitution and escorting to stripping and internet work, the Student Sex Work Project report said.

  • “Enter Monica Lewinsky (…) at last week’s annual TED conference for her talk, “The Price of Shame,” at which she received a standing ovation. She said, “I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and, of course, that woman … And I get it: It was easy to forget that that woman was dimensional, had a soul, and was once unbroken.”

  • ETH biotechnologists are developing a biotech solution for erectile dysfunction that consists of a gene construct and a blue light. A gene construct that reacts to blue light is injected into the erectile tissue of the penis. As soon as it is exposed to the light(…) the penis becomes stiff.

  • Penile plethysmographs measure penis circumference in response to sexual images; measuring how hard a man gets in response to porn. Women’s sexual arousal is measured by a vaginal plethysmograph; a sensor within a small cylinder inserted into the vagina like a tampon, which measures sexual arousal. Perhaps some people are turned on knowing their sexual activities are being monitored by experts. If this is the case, can we generalise from the findings of laboratory-based sex studies?

  • It Follows, the indie horror flick graduating to a 1,200-theater release today, inspires all varieties of metaphorical interpretations: sexually transmitted infection, pregnancy, guilt, aging. But It Follows never makes clear that any of these adult teens have heard of the internet, or any modern technology: a deliberate choice writer/director David Robert Mitchell, one that flies into the face of virtually every horror movie made this century.

  • (Warning for survivors of sexual assault and trauma.) Its life was brief but influential, at a particularly volatile time for public perception of the industry. $pread ran stories like Plato’s that highlighted injustices, but it also told stories of the day-to-day, with an eye to building community in an industry where workers are notoriously isolated, misunderstood, and unrepresented in politics and media.

  • What do camels, anti-SLAPP motions, and porn awards show red carpet brawls have in common? They’re all part of a legal saga between two of porn’s biggest names, Lisa Ann and Nikki Benz. And despite the titillation value of a court battle involving two porn stars, the case also sets an interesting—and potentially dangerous—legal precedent when it comes to cyber harassment.
