After we saw the complete misfire of Christina Aguilera’s entry into the bad girl’s club of eroto-pop, Rihanna quietly strikes with an expert shot in skintight rubber, simple and sexy. Hot. More fetish flavored pics from her Birmingham, England show last weekend can be seen here (zomg a camel, zomg LED dress). * You don’t…

* The above image is the first nibble, and I just know you are all going to be shocked: people talk about sex on Facebook like, a lot. Crazy, I know. The original blog post (annoying popup warning) about the data results says “sex sells on Facebook!” but I think that’s an oversimplification when you’re…

I’ve had my head down working on a big article; I’m also about to sail into one book deadline followed by another. And I’m loving losing myself in writing and researching sex (though in need of friends and affection, argh). Such as it is. The world of sex news keeps turning. For instance: * Yesterday…

Warning: this image leads to an explicit gallery. About five hours ago, ABC News broke a story that an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s inspector general has busted 31 of the agency’s employees (including 17 senior officers) for surfing porn during work — while the economy was in meltdown, circa 2008. Headlines are…

But it boggles the mind as to why they blatantly, consistently disregard fact when it comes to sexuality. I mean, it’s getting ridiculous. I know you’re going to tell me “consider the source”…

Image via chubbear426. The post title sounds sensationalistic — which it would be if it were not true. Be prepared for the facepalm of the year, because it’s real. Basically, an evangelical district attorney in Wisconsin sent a letter to schools saying that anyone teaching the new sex ed program as mandated by state law…

Image by Eddie Colla. Hot off the front lines, so I’ll just quote the source (with permission): FYI, the so-called “American College of Pediatricians” (americancollegeofpediatricians.org) has just sent a letter to schools across the country, giving supposed information about how to deal w/LGBT students. The letter links to this site: factsaboutyouth.com. It looks all official,…

Photo by the wonderful Urbanphotography Chris LeBlanc. I am NOT happy about this. Rinse, repeat, repeat (iTunes link). Looks like I’ll be talking to paranoid and potentially infected teens on the crisis lines (and via email) for the forseeable future. On CNN: (CNN) — The health care reform legislation that President Obama signed recently isn’t…

Image from the women-run Australian site I Feel Myself; more after the jump. * This is my 3000th post! Cheers!
