Image via Inkman. Cafe lattes should be frothy, not sex educators. But when I was cruising my Google News feeds and came across the CNN article Ladies: 5 ways to get your sex life going, I clicked it, felt instantly like a total dope for giving them my click, and became frothier than a soy…

SF Chronicle: Obama’s national sex education program
Intimate moments in hugely public spaces are divine. Image via obama blackfolk. In my San Francisco Chronicle column this week, I basically write an open letter to Barack and Michelle Obama (and the nation) about the urgency of saving our kids from thr perils of current sex ed programs, and tell them exactly how to…
COPA overturned — yay!
“The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld a lower court ruling striking down the controversial Child Online Protection Act (COPA) that required Web operators to restrict access to large amounts of constitutionally protected speech. COPA placed severe restrictions on a wide range of legal, socially valuable speech, including content relating to sexual identity,…
The nation gets a sex column: But will it be arousing (intellectually, of course)?
Image via Map Girls. When I had a porn article in Oprah I was like, whoa, mainstream — but now it’s looking like even the more straitlaced media outlets are ponying up to *finally* viewing sex culture as a constantly relevant set of issues worth covering, in all its myriad forms. And this is a…
Rachel Kramer Bussel’s video spanked off Vimeo, Flickr
Image by Aaron Hawks, via erofantasian. Friend and colleague Rachel Kramer Bussel has a new book out — I just got my hands on a copy of Spanked: Red Cheeked Erotica (it’s great), and she’s is full promo mode, with a fun spanking blog, virtual book tour and she even made a relatively safe-for-work video…
On doing it like a pr0n star
Much has been written (or at least alluded to) about how to *actually* fuck like a porn star. My column Sex for money, not love: Violet Blue asks rising adult superstar Lorelei Lee about the differences between sex work and sex not-for-work covered it; last week Frisky’s ran the odd article “Five Tips For Screwing…
Kentucky: Number one in obscenity
Image by Billy Currell, who takes KFC to new highs and lows at Kentucky Fried Tender. Well, as a friend used to tell me, “He may be the Colonel to you, but he’s Hitler to us chickens.” Not long ago I blogged about the legal team who wants to use Google Trends as an arbiter…
The week where we almost had the Jesse Helms AIDS bill
Or, the alt title for this post: “you must be THIS out of touch with the entire fucking world to run this country” (like those “this tall” signs at amusement parks). Because it seems that our elected officials, if they do or do not represent the will of the poeple, certainly think they’re in some…
Is Australia leading the way in teen sex ed?
Image of sex ed gone wrong (and possible disemvowelment) via clarie.whithard. Reader Helen sends me this very interesting article about an exciting new sex ed program in Australian schools; I’d love to make something like this happen in our schools. Snip from Program offers new take on sex education: (…) Many young people have been…
BBC News gets a right royal spanking
Image via darkbeans. I also found this cute vintage spanking collection. So it looks like BBC News decided to follow in Guardian UK’s recent BDSM-y text-steps and attempts to report on the Max Mosley lawsuit, whilst explaining BDSM to the masses — and manages to mangle the piece nicely with sensationalism and prudery to an…
