I’ve had the extreme, distinct pleasure of working with erotic writing luminary M. Christian for many years, and I can even call him a longtime friend as well as colleague. He’s penned more truly excellent, joyfully filthy verbiage than anyone can imagine, and he wrote that San Francisco erotic gay vampire mystery novel I loved,…
Maids are supposed to clean things, but as we’ve all learned on the internet, even if they clean stuff up they often make us feel all kinds of dirty on the inside. This Fall, Geisha Tokyo Entertainment plans to capitalize on all of that with the nifty little virtual sex companion Cyber Figure Alice (called…
Pretty girls, naked, happy and cute! Late, but I think there’s still a *little* bit of weekend left… The galleries I liked this last week include Hungarian Linda L who’s just pretty; hot Jenya D who forgot to take of her jewelry before getting in the shower; Nika rolling about in black stockings, Lidiya A…
Image via Rafa Lopez. If you have the time, do check out as much of the high-fashion erotic photography and mind-blowing celebrity hotness to be found on Steven Klein Studio. Wow. I mean, wow. The site is in Flash and the navigation leaves a *lot* to be desired, but it’s well worth it. Here’s a…
Much has been written (or at least alluded to) about how to *actually* fuck like a porn star. My column Sex for money, not love: Violet Blue asks rising adult superstar Lorelei Lee about the differences between sex work and sex not-for-work covered it; last week Frisky’s ran the odd article “Five Tips For Screwing…

Then I realized I hadn’t looked at their galleries in a long, time. They’re highly recommended if…
Image by elaisted. Yesterday I did a short interview with an international mainstream media outlet about the Playboy sexy female blogger list and how I felt about being on it, and the wider discussions it’s sparked about sexualizing women in tech. There’s been a lot said about that list*. But I think it’s important to…
Image by Billy Currell, who takes KFC to new highs and lows at Kentucky Fried Tender. Well, as a friend used to tell me, “He may be the Colonel to you, but he’s Hitler to us chickens.” Not long ago I blogged about the legal team who wants to use Google Trends as an arbiter…
Or, the alt title for this post: “you must be THIS out of touch with the entire fucking world to run this country” (like those “this tall” signs at amusement parks). Because it seems that our elected officials, if they do or do not represent the will of the poeple, certainly think they’re in some…
Image by Anthony Koeslag. This week’s SF Chronicle column explores the limits of monogamy in the digital era — thought not as much as I’d like to, as I did need to keep the column under 1500 words! And I have a lot more material on the subject: in fact, after the jump please do…
