Often I see sex-related news stories, and I think: “There’s absolutely no way I would ever write about that, because it’s stupid.” As I’ve been informed by erotica writer Nikki Magennis, that’s because I keep reading the Daily Mail. The Daily Mail does indeed seem to be decidedly Foxy — it holds down the delirious-sensationalism…
UPDATE: See the note at the bottom about porn’s legal status in Australia. As Violet mentioned in a Nibble earlier this week, anti-porn crusader Gail Dines‘ May 18 piece in the Sydney Morning Herald got negative responses not just from many of our fellow sex-positive writers but from commenters at the Herald itself. From the…
This new video from friends at British sex toy retailer Lovehoney UK is really cool: it humorously shows the step-by-step process of the company’s sex toy recycling program and explains how to donate your toys. Since its launch in 2007, Lovehoney’s Rabbit Amnesty sex toy recycling program has recycled over 2 tons of sex toys.…
Two small pages of arresting portraits that I want to call ‘beautiful pictures of beautiful people’ – because they are. Rae Threat‘s galleries on Behance, comprised of right now’s top cult porn stars, include The Industry: Textured and The Industry: Select Works. In them you’ll find achingly romantic photos of April Flores, classics like the…
Sock puppets are a huge annoyance to anyone who runs a forum or manages comments on any public site that allows them. A sock puppet or “sock” is an account or username created to obscure the identity of its user, so that person can comment on threads or edit materials – usually relating to them,…

A while back, CNN’s resident anti-porn commando Ian Kerner came up with the term SADD, or Sexual Attention Deficit Disorder, to describe what happens when a guy watches too much internet porn and then doesn’t care whether or not his lady-friend gets the attention she deserves. Though Kerner has annoyed me with his sensitive new…
This morning I got an email from one of the guys at YVY Magazine that had me doing a double-take for a few reasons; one is that I didn’t know Marcello was a high-paid international male escort, and two is that I was amazed by the story and its images. It seems that Marcello is…
If you have ever been AIM (Adult Industry Medical Foundation) tested for any reason, whether or not you are a sex worker, porn performer or “porn star” your personal and private information has been published publicly at so-called “Porn Wikileaks” (pornwikileaks.com). That website is, in fact, a copy of Wikileaks with the word “porn” added…
I found Quickies in New York back in February, and felt it was finally time to share this fun project with you – I wanted to wait to see if it kept its direction, or lost steam (as sadly so often happens with cool sex blogs like this). Quickies in New York is a delightful…
