Don’t get too excited, you Burlesque-era raincoaters and grizzled Arthur Miller wannabes out there. Don’t get excited, ’cause I’m excited enough for all of us. There’s a Marilyn Monroe sex tape out there. Unfortunately, it appears to be a fraud. The promised Marilyn Monroe Sex Tape, according to a story on Moneywatch, is not the…
Being sequestered up here in the valley, I was unable to attend Slutwalk San Francisco, which happened today. I would say I was there in spirit, but that’s just a little too Victorian for me; my tables don’t knock unless I’m knocking them. As of this writing, there’s no Tweets at all about San Francisco…
This week I had the pleasure of filing an article with R.U. Sirius’ online magazine, Acceler8tr. I’ve worked with R.U. off and on over the years, but Sirius will always be a her from my youth as the Founding Editor of Mondo 2000 – a seminal early computer culture, cyberpunk gate-crasher of a magazine that…
I saw this pop up on an advertising/media site but it wasn’t until a Twitter pal told me to watch Skittles – Newlyweds that I got the full spoof-tastic experience. Directors Cousins make it absolutely clear that the video is not associated or affiliated with Skittles or parent company Wrigley’s in any way, but if…

Click the image above to watch the trailer on Hustler’s site; their embed code does not work. I wanted to present this without comment. But I will give you five on Hustler’s just-announced Lady Gaga porn film: 1. Lots of people will watch this and think it totally sucks (because it does) but Hustler will…
A bogus story about Nazi sex dolls from 2005 or before has surfaced again…and it’s ladling out the dopamine with lots of croutons. And, dopamine-drunk, the blogosphere keeps reposting it. A report in the New York Daily News references as fact the urban legend that during the Nazi occupation of France, The high command sent…
I had already written off Naomi Wolf’s most recent wave of anti-porn nausea, but every time I turn around, someone new is uncritically reposting it. In light of Erica Jong blaming the internet for motherhood today in the New York Times, I have to say something about Wolf’s transparently pseudoscientific anti-porn, anti-sex-work stance, especially since…
I’m willing to cut Erica Jong, author of the landmark feminist classic Fear of Flying, lots of slack — after all, she invented the zipless fuck. She’s an O.G. of women’s sexual liberation, and in many ways a personal hero of mine. But that only gets you so far, in my book. I can’t even…
If you’re familiar at all with Bollywood films, you may already know the three most important things about them. First, if someone starts singing, expect them to take an inexplicable dancing tour through world history during the upcoming number, featuring lots of guys with mustaches. Second, while you shouldn’t expect sex, you should expect the…
