Who knew anyone could make American Idol culturally relevant? Even my (very) straight male friends have been sending these news items in disbelief, like: > “They just can’t believe the nature of the content, the explicit nature, and how much graphic content there was.” (BBC News: Adam Lambert’s gay kiss on stage gets 1,500 complaints)…

The Art of Restraint through my Android’s simulated voyeurcam
Last saturday I had the opportunity to attend this season’s Art of Restraint at feminist art gallery Femina Potens, where the theme was gratitude. For those of you outside the US, that was a nod at Thanksgiving, our contrived holiday about giving thanks for a mythological event having to do with pilgrims and Native Americans…

Filthy gorgeous things: the Euphoria issue
The new issue of stunningly erotic webzine Filthy Gorgeous Things is out, and the theme is Euphoria. It’s my favorite online intellectual-explicit erotic magazine, and while a subscription is expensive, the freebees are fantastic. Take for example Chelsea G.

Belle de Jour: Human, real, female and now – out
Long a subject of much conversation and opining on this coast (and others) as to whether legendary and longtime blogger Belle de Jour was real or not — and many of us excitedly read Belle’s blog from the very first post — it seems that she’s now revealed herself. (Image via TechCrunch.) The whole thing…

I recently discovered danae’s exquisite tumbleblog, “kinda…

His answers had me and my editor at the Chron doing a double take; here Sterry confronts sex work from every angle. I’d…
Happy Halloween: Sexy movies for staying in
Image by Randem. …or for a spooky sexy Sunday. I’ll be offline for a while tomorrow, so try to behave yourselves. After my last column about putting the sex back into vamps, a number of people emailed me with sexy vampire movie and book suggestions — some are new and strange, some are classics, here…
