How SF Weekly / Matt Smith harmed a source (sex, journalists, and trust, part bazillion)
Image of Darenzia and Mz Berlin by Christine Kessler (photographer: cover of my book Best Women’s Erotica 2009).

New study – still not all that and a bag of chips: Women, porn and violence

Sex and violence: Academia on media
Image by Richard Kadrey/Kaos Beauty Klinik.
