If you’re reading this blog post on eros.topnewsdigest.com, it has been stolen and reproduced without permission from tinynibbles.com. Yes, I’m going to do something about it. They are stealing from a number of sex bloggers. In other, erm, news, I found a link to The Top 10 Most Bizarre Sex Ed Videos, which I have…

Look how cool this bike is
Just kidding. The comments on the NPLE LAZRZ!!! post at Gizmodo (where this timeless image, now burned into my brain forever, came from) are very worth reading. Do not miss. And if you like the hilarity of those comments, treat yourself to the comments on the Google Chrome goat transporter issue report.
Someone *did* have fun in Vegas
Jiz Lee’s Twitter just pointed me to the fantastic — and occasionally explicit — gallery just posted by Last Night’s Party from their weekend at the AVN convention in Vegas. They hung out with lots of our friends, such as the queer porn mafia (who partycrashed the event), and the blend of porn punks which…
Great piece: Why porn for profit is dying
Image by stuntkid for Freyagushi (WANT). This piece in The Daily Beast is *really* interesting, and for reasons I didn’t expect. Wrapping up the porn convention, Top 5 Reasons Porn-for-Profit Is Dying by Richard Abowitz is highly, highly recommended and very well done. While I don’t agree with all of it, from both my real…
A very specialized menu
Sent to me today from dearest Jonno dot com who writes, “A rather extraordinary menu from Mrs. F.A. Tasse’s “Capacious Capsulation Parlors” in the collection of my friends at the Block-Keller House, New Orleans.” Clicking to enlarge the image is highly recommended (it’s SO Deadwood), and his comments are well worth reading.
This week’s column: Where are my smelling salts?
This week’s SF Chronicle column was an examination at the ‘bromance’ controversy brewing around feature film “Sherlock Holmes” versus how loboto-exciting the “Avatar” so-called ‘deleted’ sex scenes might be. What I didn’t see coming was that the “Holmes” controversy was on smaller gossip blogs when I researched it, but when my column published, the conversation…
Pondering the Darwinian outcome of ‘purifying the internet environment’ for ‘state security’
Self-portrait by The Internet’s Girlfriend (and my friend) Dana DeArmond. I in no way intend to trivialize the situation with this comparison, but it’s really hard not to look at the tally of porn crackdowns and arrests in China last year and compare them to Princess Leia’s memorable quote from Star Wars, “The more you…
Sex doesn’t sell (the blockbuster remix)
Exception: put a naked Robert Downey Jr. in anything, and I’ll buy it. If you’ve been reading my Chronicle column for a while, you’ll remember back in late 2008 when I did a piece illustrating that the maxim “sex sells” is an outdated notion — a sex-negative one — that no longer holds true. Sexualization…
This week’s column: You’ve come a long way
Image by Ellen von Unwerth via superwrong. This week’s column for the SF Chronicle is more personal than usual, but that’s what’s great about being a columnist. It was written with the forethought that it would be my last of 2009, last of the decade, and published on NYE. It was also written with the…
(In)security theatre
One hour ago I posted on Twitter that bloggers have been served supoeanas and had their computers confiscated for posting TSA guidelines. Yesterday, these bloggers’ posts were the only point of sanity and fact my partner and I could find to use to prepare ourselves to be able to follow the rules and laws in…
