Image by local educators (and really nice guys) Two Knotty Boys. Today I was invited by Ms. Heart to the local Frameline premiere of the documentary BDSM: It’s Not What You Think. Which is an oversimplified title for what looks like a really interesting documentary, and features some people I’ve spoken to classes with (like…

Zoe Margolis Breaks Up With Britain
Image from my SXSW Sexual Privacy Online panel @ SXSW: Interactive, with Jason Schultz, Zoe Margolis, John D’Addario, Jonathan Moore and myself. Seeing as how I’m soaking in it, I’m fascinated with the constantly changing relationship sex bloggers have with sex and blogging. And through sex blogging, women’s relationship with sex, and humans’ relationship with…
The joy of (Tristan Taormino’s) sex (positivity)
The whipsmart Penny Flame, brilliant Sinnamon Love, smiley mastermind Tristan Taormino and articulate sexbomb Adrianna Nicole (no personal website – yet).

Today I had lunch with Tristan Taormino, and I’m about to go down to the hotel she’s herded a few porn stars into and interview them about Tristan’s new video, Chemisty 3 Chemistry 4. Tristan’s in town to celebrate that film and her new book Opening Up, and tonight there’s…
The stickiest links of the week
Image Devil Girl with Angel Wings by friend Demetrius Gonzalez. As the week comes to a close, I’ve been sweating out a book deadline: Best Women’s Erotica 2009 to be precise. I received hundreds, literally hundreds of stories as hopefuls, I can only pick around 20, and the submissions are *incredible*. So I really have…
Now do as you’re told and buy the Mistress a birthday present
I love, love, love San Francisco’s Mistress Morgana. No discipline is needed for that statement (though from her it is always desired). I’ve been reminded that her birthday is coming up sometime near the weekend, and today she expressed her birthday wish: marriage for all. So if you want to buy her a birthday present,…
Slate’s girls night at the firing range
Image by Helmut Newton. The video embedded below was on the front page of Slate yesterday and now it’s impossible to find — luckily I coped the embed code for Girls’ Night Out At The Firing Range because it’s really an enjoyable video. Host and writer Samantha Henig is a gun n00b who goes to…
Why Ariel Waldman’s Twitter harassment is a serious call to social networking sites about stalkers
Ariel under the mistletoe, my house NYE 2008; photo by our friend Scott Beale / Laughing Squid. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly urge you to read Ariel Waldman’s incredibly brave (and chilling) post, Twitter refuses to uphold Terms of Service. It’s being posted everywhere from Vivane’s Sex Carnival to making feature fodder…

Pssst! Wanna see The Armory!?
Photo of the Drill Court @ SFArmory.com. Like me, many people grew up in San Francisco seeing The Armory only from the outside, always wondering what it looks like in there. I got lucky and Kink.com has let me in the doors a few times — but today if you want to see the Drill…
