As reported on Gawker and in my inbox, the spraycan huffing editors at the Village Voice have suddenly axed one of my favorite (and in my opinion, one of the best American) sex columns: Rachel Kramer Bussel‘s Lusty Lady. I’ve always been able to count on her column for the latest sex trends, excellent writing,…

Column: The boobs are out of the box, and all over the web
I’m delighted to say that this week’s Chron/SFGate Open Source Sex column is all about Boobs in a Box, Dick in a Box, viral videos and memes, SNL’s digital shorts and the culture around all of it. I do excerpt comparisons between the two video’s rap lyrics, try to see how Dick measures up to…
Not-so-funny anti-porn hysteria ads on my Chron column, and why enjoying porn is healthy
Sweet Denver reader damperdan sends me a screencap of the Google ads running with my column at SFGate. WTF? The people behind these ads propagate the worst kind of hurtful and shaming myths about porn and sexuality, and it’s running side-by-side with my sex-positive, pro-porn, yay-sex message. On one hand, it’s funny in a truly…
Dirtyspoke’s sex blog awards
Dirtyspoke is taking nominations for their 2006 Sex Blog of the Year Awards. Ummm, nominate me if you want?

I think instead of online voting and awards traffic and attention generators like this, we…

Over at Boing Boing I have a guest post (w00t!), The Top Ten Sex Memes of 2006, snip: “Memes snake around and wind up on everyone’s blogs, sites, get injected into inboxes and become just generally known by most without widespread recognition from a news or mainstream media site. They propagate, survive, spread and mutate,…
Blogs, MSM and theft
A reader sends me this very interesting writeup on reality blurred, anatomy of a (stolen) scoop (found via). I’ve been very confrontative about this issue for a while and I found Dehnart’s piece absolutely fascinating, not to be missed if you blog (or write for le dirty media).
Top Ten Sexy Geeks 2006
They start out as the quiet ones — and they might even stay that way. But somehow, that hot, throbbing brain and unquenchable thirst to totally nerd out on their tech fetish transforms them into… the kind of hot geek that stops you in your tracks. You know that if you opened their skull, their…
Time’s business model of the year
I know this is a bit off-topic for this blog but… Reuters: Time magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ is You. Snip, “You were named Time magazine ‘Person of the Year’ on Saturday for the explosive growth and influence of user-generated Internet content such as blogs, video-file sharing site YouTube and social network MySpace. (…) You…
Babes with books
The cutest book nerd blog ever!!! I just found Babes With Books on (friends) Touche Sexy — and while there’s not much by way of skin (a little bit), it’s full of cute, real girls of all shapes and sizes looking saucy with their reads!
