It’s official. I’m now the sex columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle. Not just ‘plucked’ from the blogosphere to freelance for a 141-year-old mainstream media institution; Phil Bronstein hand-selected me to be their frontline sex writer, with a column and everything that comes with it. I just got home from the Chronicle building — today…
[Audio + textcast + video] Open Source Sex 44
Yup, I brought it. Open Source Sex #44 has an audio and a video slideshow version, and both are textcasts! My first textcast (last episode) was great and got a lot of positive feedback. I still don’t know if anyone else is doing this besides Slate; when listening to the podcast, click the center of…
From Birdman, with love
This is so exciting! Regular readers will remember a while back when I went to an all-male amateur strip night in Oakland, where hotties from the local art and music scenes stripped for an all-female audience, just for fun (“For The Ladies“). The clear highlight was my friend Mateo doing this incredibly sexy dance number;…
My Private Planet and other places I’ve been this weekend
The images above belong to My Private Planet, which seems to be an unfinished site — I say that because some images have .com and .net, and I see there’s no .com for MPP in the tubes of the interweb. No matter, because I’ve spent a signifigant number of mental tangets on this site all…
Late night at SRL
And why not? Nothing to do on a friday night, and the Inchworm needed to have a hydraulic hose replaced. Actually, I made it there by 1pm, worked and did my Sirius radio interview from the back of the shop crouched in a quiet space next to a jet engine (live worldwide, from SRL!) —…
Stripper Polaroids
My pal Elvis sends me this link to a couple cool Flickr photosets of stripper Polaroids from what looks like the 1960s. These may not be the same Polaroids lost here in San Francisco recently, but the timing is certainly an interesting coincidence.
Xbox teledildonics from Xbox, with live video chat
It seems I finally have a reason to start gaming again: new Xbox teledildonics. Kotaku tells us that the Xbox 360 now has cameras with video chat, and while chatting there is a command to make your chat-partner’s controller vibrate. Even though it takes holding down both triggers at once, making one-handed enjoyment complicated, it…
Larry Clark’s upcoming documentary in Destricted
Looks like it will be fascinating. Porn teaches our culture a lot of things, that’s for certain — which is why in my new porn book I label nearly all of porn’s standard sex acts “Jackass sex”. Check out this interesting article over at the Guardian, Sex education, where Larry Clark shares his feelings about…
Swamped in a good way
I just got one of the two advance copies of my next book The Adventurous Couple’s Guide to Sex Toys from the printer, and it looks amazing! Sex toys, bend over boyfriend, the best vibes for coming together, teledildonics, cam sex, sex machines, DIY porn howto’s… it’s all in there and fully illustrated! It’s shipping…
World’s sexiest weapons
For the ladies, of course: HOARD magazine’s Antonio Riello’s Ladies Weapons from 2001 are a-mazing…. and not just guns but bejeweled grenades! Bling my bomb, indeed. (Thanks pt!)
