- VB note: For great Overwatch porn examples, check out OverwatchHentai and artist Eddy Productions. ““I was drawn to do Overwatch porn because its characters ooze, well, character,” said an artist who goes by the handle Tsoni, who claims to have gotten into the video game porn scene because of an interest in 3D animation. A model for the Overwatch character Widowmaker caught their eye last fall and got them making longer, more story-driven videos about Overwatch characters hooking up.”

- “Asked about her frequent Game of Thrones nude scenes for the millionth time recently, Daenerys Targaryen actress Emilia Clarke said that rather than cut back on female nudity in the show, she wanted to see equal opportunity nudity. “Free the penis,” she declared. Well tonight, the show certainly did.” VB note: They forgot about Theon Greyjoy…

- “Ancient, magical spells of love, subjugation and sex: It may sound like a “Game of Thrones” episode, but these things are also found on two recently deciphered papyri from Egypt dating to around 1,700 years ago. One spell invokes the gods to “burn the heart” of a woman until she loves the spell caster, said Franco Maltomini of the University of Udine in Italy, who translated the two spells. Another spell, targeted at a male, uses a series of magical words to “subject” him, forcing him to do whatever the caster wants.”

- “If you’re worried about being tracked online, porn sites should be the least of your concerns. In January, Princeton University analyzed the top 1 million websites on the Internet and made over 90 million page requests to determine which type of site is most likely to track your online behavior. The university found that news sites were most likely to feature trackers, followed by arts and sports sites.”

- “I am looking into crowdfunding (preferably Patreon-style) in order to try and improve the depth and quality of posting here at ErosBlog. However, I am reluctant to use a crowdfunding platform that’s openly hostile to porn. There seems to be a crowdfunding-industry consensus around allowing adult projects (sort of) as long as they are not “pornography” or “sexually explicit”, leaving those terms undefined.”

- After publishing an essay that wasn’t fact-checked citing invented “facts” from anti-porn extremist Gail Dines, and not clarifying it as opinion, WaPo now runs this opinion piece. Great article though. “A leading feminist anti-pornography critic in the tradition of Andrea Dworkin, [Gail] Dines and her efforts lobbying politicians in the United States and internationally to criminalize pornography are behind the Utah bill. She has written frequently on the notion that pornography is to blame for the apparent worsening of misogynistic violence against women in society, going so far as to link the devastating 2014 Elliot Rodgers massacre at my university to the “tsunami of woman hating ideology” that is porn.”
* Porn isn’t a public health hazard. It’s a scapegoat. (Washington Post)
- “The Case of the Female Orgasm [by Elisabeth A. Lloyd] is a glorious, devastating critique of bad science in general and sexist bad science especially. … poorly constructed theories make claims about [female] orgasm’s function as a facilitator of sperm competition, mate selection, and pair bonding, all of which may seem plausible but are ultimately unsubstantiated, devoid of evidence and rooted in unexamined presumptions. Lloyd catches scientists only considering the female orgasm as an event tied to intercourse and wrongly asserting its (unestablished) relationship to fertility …”
