Boston indie publisher Circlet Press has been publishing erotic science fiction and fantasy since the early 1990s. One of my very favorite books they ever published was Nymph, a little hardbound collection of linked erotic stories by Francesca Lia Block. Cooked up in a gumbo pot from equal parts ultra-hotness and ultra-gothness, Nymph is an…
Babeland Locations Offer Free Bicycle Delivery On Valentine’s Day
Imagine the tragedy if, during a hot party with one or more of your bestest battery-powered and/or silicone friends, one of them suffers from vibrator breakdown or nipple clamp metal-fatigue. And if a toe-curling orgasm causes you to accidentally propel that dildo out the window before you’re finished with it? Never fear…if you’re in Brooklyn,…
Homophobic Pastor’s Anal Obsession
North Carolina Pastor Patrick Wooden is a rabidly anti-gay preacher who’s, well, a little obsessed with anal sex. Now, in my opinion there’s nothing wrong with being obsessed with anal sex — I can get a little obsessed with it myself, especially on Tuesdays. Hey, what’s not to be obsessed with about anal sex? Simply…
Is Male Sexuality to Blame For War?
In a bizarrely credulous article, the Telegraph has answered the question of what causes war. That’s right! You guessed it…it’s boners. Not economics, resource scarcity, ethnic and racial prejudice, acquisitive and incompetent political leaders, short-sightedness or failure to learn from history. Nope! It’s just plain boners, pure and simple. They’re bad. Here’s how the Telegraph…
Supreme Court Considers Fleeting Expletives and Brief Nudity on TV…Again
Did you know that earlier this week, the nine justices of the US Supreme Court were asked to consider the bare asses hanging over their heads? If you said “no,” don’t feel bad. It was news to me that there are bare asses hanging over the highest court in the land — the one that…
Revel Body’s Toothbrush Tech: Vibe Variation or Valley-Style Vaporware?
As you may or may not know, the typical vibrator motor is a simple affair. Most vibrators just have an electromagnetic wheel that spins; a weight on one side makes it spin slightly off-kilter. How strong the vibrations are depends on how fast the wheel spins, how big the wheel is, how heavy the weight…
2011’s Hugging, Kissing Machine Inventions Show Us the Future of Robosex
Tucked into CNN’s Lilly Workneh’s “Top 10 Most Bizarre Tech Stories of 2011” are two amazing new devices from Japan that I somehow missed this past year. I won’t dispute that they’re bizarre from one perspective. But I get a full-on robot chubby seeing devices adapted for this level of technoaffection. The first invention is…
Boxing Day Etsy Orgy
I hadn’t even slept off my ham hangover this Christmas before the sales pitches started hitting my inbox. The very first came from Apple, telling me “Now it’s time to treat yourself.” I couldn’t agree more — in my book, it’s always time to treat myself. But is it just my imagination, or do more…
Etsy Ecstasy: Vagina Dentata Glow-In-the-Dark Panties
What I love the most about these vagina dentata panties on Glukkake’s Etsy store is not just that the teeth glow in the dark…but that they’re images of actual teeth. Like anyone familiar with vaginas that bite, Glukkake knows that they don’t sport some cartoon snaggletooth; a pussy needs molars. Well, there are numerous molars…
Is Homophobia Associated With Homosexual Desire?
A post yesterday on liberal politics site PoliticsUSA.com is headlined “Proof That Homophobia Is Associated with Homosexual Arousal.” In it, writer Sarah Jones makes reference to a Psych study at the University of Georgia in which authors HE Adams, LW Wright, and BA Lohr strapped some college boys into dick sleeves and showed them porn.…
