  • Everyone remembers “I Try,” Macy Gray‘s 1999 valentine to difficult love. With her crackling delivery, Auto-Tune-free vulnerability, and yearbook-ready soundbites —”My world crumbles when you are not here” had a place of prominence on our own senior pages—the song scratched at the sutures on all of our lovestruck hearts. Her latest single “B.O.B,” is about another, less complicated kind of love: the one a woman has for her Battery Operated Boyfriend.

  • When WhoPutThatThere decided to become a moderator of r/DirtySnapchat, the 22-year-old didn’t use the subreddit herself. Already a mod on r/Snapchat, she was just looking to make friends. Now she, along with nine other male moderators, are in charge of running and managing the two-year-old forum that’s grown to over 25,000 subscribers, all redditors who want to find age-appropriate partners to sext with on Snapchat.

  • A notorious San Francisco gay porn studio is set to release a gangbang porn flick with a woman and a trans woman in starring roles, but the gang’s not all on board. Treasure Island Media, a studio so raunchy they’ve been banned from the Folsom Street Fair, crosses the gay porn gender taboo in their upcoming release Fuck Holes 3, which comes out August 5th. Depending on who you ask, this is either a breakthrough for a silent, underrepresented porn-consuming demographic or a slap in the face to everyone who’s marched since Stonewall.

  • Celebrities like Lena Dunham, Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep, and Anne Hathway have protested Amnesty International’s proposal to decriminalize prostitution. Sex workers (as well as academics, social workers, and human-rights organizations) back Amnesty’s proposal, and want the celebs to stop speaking for them — and to stay out of it.

  • This article is so important. “There are plenty of paradoxes inherent in activism vis-à-vis prostitution — how to protect someone in a vulnerable occupational situation while not appearing to endorse that occupation? … The problem arises when the proposed answers have more to do with the askers’ distaste for prostitution than with research-supported solutions to help sex workers. It becomes more about the morality and feelings of the savior than those being saved.”

  • “Jay Sin’s TS Playground #20” is the No. 1 selling porn title on GameLink’s site this week, No. 12 is “TS Beauties” and six other transgender porn titles are scattered throughout the top 100 list. But how does this affect the lives of trans people? Is trans porn merely the sexual fetishization and objectification of trans bodies, or has trans porn helped to drive the social acceptance of transgender people?

  • Bloxers boxer shorts are sewn with a special interior panel that deflects “the dreaded public boner” down and to the side, thus hiding it from view. The folks behind Bloxers call this panel the “Deflector Shield,” and buyers can pick a model with the shield positioned on the left or the right, depending on to which side the gentleman dresses. The shorts are cotton, and the shield is a nylon/elastane mix.

  • “I think most people in our age bracket probably see it in pornography before we have any idea what is what, and porn makes seem kind of easy, because it always goes well. So you’re just like, Yeah, it’ll be fine! … I remember being really excited about it, then being like, Oh my god, I have no idea what’s going on here, and she doesn’t seem impressed.”

  • If you thought you’d turn to Medium as a means to shame or harass others, think again. The site has changed its rules, and now prohibits acts of public shaming, revenge porn, and posting private information on others (doxxing).

  • But in 1970, as the sexual revolution challenged traditional perspectives on love and sex, the industry was stuck between increasing demand and growing concerns over morality. The “torrent of sexuality,” as LIFE called it, was a subject of debate from the Capitol Building to small-town living rooms, as elected officials and private citizens debated not only what to do about porn, but also how to define it in the first place.

  • After accepting a plea deal that could put her in prison for up to seven years, more details of upstate prison worker Joyce Mitchell’s statements to authorities were released. In May, she said, Matt asked her to perform oral sex and she did, out of fear, she said. On other occasions, Matt would come to her desk wearing a big coat in which he had cut a hole so that Mitchell could touch his genitals. She also said, “I did take some naked photos of my breasts and vagina and gave them to Inmate Matt to give to Inmate Sweat.”

  • A golf course is a site of competition, friendship, tradition and memories. For some, though, it’s more than that. They look at a golf course–usually in the wee hours, framed by moonlight, perhaps–and think, You know what? That would be a great place to have sex.

  • “I want to see age restrictions put into place or these [porn] websites will face being shut down,” David Cameron said in a statement this week. Legislation could be introduced that will make it “an offence in the UK to publish pornography online without age verification controls, possibly with a regulator to oversee and enforce controls”, according to a UK Government statement.
    Free porn websites could be shut down within months, says David Cameron (Independent UK)
