  • On the 27th of April, The Singing Sailor Underwater Defense System was installed into the sea in the archipelago due east of Stockholm. The Singing Sailor is a subsurface sonar system sending out the Morse code: “This way if you are gay”. For any submarines passing close by, The Singing Sailor also features the message “Welcome to Sweden. Gay since 1944.” (the year Sweden legalized homosexuality) as an animated neon sign.

  • While the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling left intact most of 18 U.S.C. § 2257, the recordkeeping regulation for producers of sexually explicit content, the decision is a victory in many respects. Diane Duke, the CEO of trade industry group Free Speech Coalition, remarked that today’s decision prohibits “the routine, warrantless inspections, which were the hallmark of the original regulation. The 3rd Circuit’s decision struck down the recordkeeping inspection as unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment.”

  • The HBO documentary Thought Crimes aired last weekend, about the so-called “Cannibal Cop,” a Queens-born NYPD officer convicted of conspiring to kidnap, cook and consume young female targets). I’m in it commenting about extreme fetishes, though you don’t get to hear me talk about vore/cannibalism fetish, and the importance of context with extreme/disturbing fetishes. It’s a great, but frustrating (and disturbing: warning for survivors) documentary.

  • From Norway comes a frank sex ed series for preteens, to teach kids the science of the birds and the bees. Line Jansrud, a medical doctor and host of Newton—Norway’s science show for 8 to 12 years olds—is French kissing a tomato. “This tomato does not have a tongue, but it feels roughly the same,” she says. The program is a new part of the sex education that third graders get in Norway, via NRK, the Norwegian public broadcast channel and NRK Super, the largest Norwegian website for children.

  • Though it requires STD testing for every straight-sex scene it films, Kink.com’s precautions for gay actors contributed to the spread of HIV, an actor claims in court. Plaintiff John Doe says he notified Kink.com immediately when he tested HIV-positive in May 2013, but that studio bosses kept his status quiet until shooting wrapped, leaving regulators in the dark and causing a delay that potentially resulted in HIV exposures for two performers.
