Everything is wrong with this: Frequent Sex Cures Women’s Semen Allergy. Argh. Ugh. Eeep. This is a real allergy. But semen is not sex. (I think of it as a delicious frosting.) And the assumptions in this article about women, sex and marriage are hysterically funny, or tragically demented. You will learn nothing about semen…

The NY Times on videoblogging
I’m off to SRL in a bit, but just read this article in the New York Times magazine today about videoblogging, with a focus on the funny: The Online Auteurs by Matthew Klam. It’s interesting, informative and totally worth reading, especially hot on the heels of last weekend’s Vloggies — it ends nicely with Ze…
Saturday nibbles
* Holy shit, condom ads that joke about rape and HIV?! Reader E writes me, “I’m writing specifically about your Pronto Condoms blog entry on 6/11. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but the ‘Jacob’ in the male advert is Jacob Zuma – the South African politician who ‘took a shower to avoid HIV‘ I’m…
Revolutionary quick-draw condoms
Wow! London Boy just sent me a link to Pronto Condoms, a new line of condoms that don’t need to be unwrapped and go on in seconds (watch the video and see it in action). These South African condoms may also be the first safer-sex items to win a design award — sweet. Snip: “By…
America’s horrifying (newest) abstinence regime
My pal SB just sent me a link to this ABC News article Govt. Tells Singles No Sex Till You’re 30: Critics Say the New Guidelines are About Morality, Not Health. I actually began to weep (no, really) when I read the piece, which explains that the US gov’t just dumped $50 million into the…
Behind Kink and spanking Morality in Media in the Chronicle
This week’s Chronicle column is a doozy, on many fronts. In Porn: It’s Not Just for Breakfast I spend an average monday shadowing the Behind Kink documentary film crews at local BDSM/kinky porn online mega-empire Kink.com; then I visit Good Vibrations for some very weird vibrations about their fear of the word ‘porn’. I tie…
CNN Loves Morality Porn; Yaaaawwwn
Looks like CNN’s spokesdouche born-again Glenn Beck (the male Nancy Grace) is about to start waxing fetishistically about so-called ‘porn addiction’ in their cable TV Headline News program and online vlogs. Sure, it’s CNN’s retro “look – shiny” and get traffic tactic of 1995, but just in time to get the morality fetishists all excited…
Squeeze that mouse: Kewl stuff to read
I think I missed a week of online sex reads — no matter, as Boing Boing had my back (door) covered. And no, they’re not *all* authored by futuristic sexbot-of-my-dreams Xeni Jardin. A wrapup of essential Boing Boing sex posts: * What’s nice about doing this recap was that I got to see all the…
All you ever think about is text
Lazy sunday readings: * Congress targets deceptive ‘sex’ sites — don’t know how this could be prosecutable, but it looks like using “furby” in your URL/name could have you up on federal charges. Snip: “Anyone who includes misleading words or images intended to confuse a minor into viewing a possibly harmful Web site could be…
Stuff to read
* Yes, it’s true: we’re doing some very interesting shuffling at Gawker. “Brian Lam, currently at Wired Magazine, will helm Gizmodo, the gadget site.” * Blink and you missed it: my favorite porn director of all time (yup, gay) Wash West just had a big feature on him in the LA Times. He’s the brilliance…
