Men: New Guest Contrib Thomas Roche Warns of Web Porn Induced Impotence

VB note: This is the first post by Thomas Roche, who is the first guest contributor to TinyNibbles. For the ten-year anniversary of this blog, I’m expanding it. Please welcome my best friend, fellow SFSI educator and longtime writing buddy to our mix. Hello there, Tiny Nibbles readers! You may not know me; I’m Thomas…

Yesterday a lady friend tweeted that she’d just read this Slate article, and while she normally loves Slate the article really offended her but she couldn’t quite put her finger on why. I responded with an answer, and then… I started getting emails, messages and comments from women I didn’t know, all about the same…

Pole Position: The Subjective Guide to San Francisco Strip Clubs by Aaron Britt is well worth a read – especially because I think Britt pulls off being a gently leering “lad” without being douchey – and injecting the piece with a bit of praise for sex-positive feminism. Nice! I’m quite stoked with 7×7 Magazine’s sex…

As you may know, Sexademic is a friend and a longtime hardworking co-volunteer at SFSI, the multi-decade outlet for non-judgmental and accurate sex information.

This week New York Magazine has been on a porn blitz. I set aside “He’s Just Not That Into Anyone: Even, and perhaps especially, when his girlfriend is acting like the women he can’t stop watching online.” I think it’s worth a close look. The author’s point is that some modern guys (especially himself) think…

I’ve been calling 2011 “year of the queer” since December – part of that had to do with finding out that queer feminist porn/erotica magazine Salacious, was going to launch on January 1, 2011. And what an amazing first issue. Their blog is great. Filament has a fantastic and very informative review on the first…

Tristan Taormino, Ann Coulter, And The Disgrace Of Oregon State University

Fun fact: what do Ann Coulter and Tristan Taormino have in common? They were both invited to be speakers at Oregon State University. Except while Coulter told Oregon State University on November 19, 2001 that liberals were responsible for 9/11 and “all Middle Easterners are camel riding nomads,” this week OSU decided that paying Taormino…
