Image (of a sex doll and real feline) by Stacy Leigh. Led by the fantastic h+ Magazine article, Sexbots Will Give Us Longevity Orgasm by Hank Hyena (hplusmagazine.com), I went mousing off on a tangent to find that right now a chain of department stores in Japan are taking holiday orders for life-sized ‘doppelganger’ androids.…

The climate in which the sex-positive phone platform wins
Image by Noah Kalina. The iPhone’s app store has long had a reputation for prudery. So it doesn’t surprise me to see the Android pulling ahead with an open model that shows it has the market awareness to truly survive in the wild, allowing room for things like the just-announced, adults-only app store for the…
Internet vices, hold the sex
This spot-on list of Internet vices (patrickmoberg.com) contains zero sex, which is actually one of the reasons it’s notable. Because while everyone makes hysterical noise about the dangers of sex on the Internet (in all its guises), the places where we most lose our virtue are indeed in the back alleys of social media sharing.…
The top online sex management tools
Managing your sex life can be trying when boys misbehave. Image by the uber-gifted Urban Photographer. This week’s San Francisco Chronicle column is dedicated to everyone who wants to be organized, responsible, and truly deeply nerdy about their sex lives: it’s a guide to online sex management tools. I mean seriously: one rad website (nOOkist)…
Adorable anonymous flirting tool: Cupidco.de
Not only is the anonymous flirting nudge service cupidco.de adorable and sweet (and a fantastic tool, so simple), but so is the boy who sent it to me under the guise of “anonymity.” Best way to receive a tip for my blog, ever.
Current TV does “Porn 2.0”
Over at Current TV (I get to say that because they’re just a couple neighborhoods away from me), this week’s Vanguard (link autoplay warning) is called “Porn 2.0” and it’s set to air this Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 10pm. Or you can just watch it on Hulu now. It’s worth watching. And maybe I’m looking…
Future sex looks weird and awesome
Image by Eon McKai from his next film “Eyelashes.” The images populating this post are, I think a great match for the texual subject matter. I follow Eon on Twitter and for the past few days he’s been tweeting pics from the set of his next film: I asked if I could grab them and…
Of “Surrogates” and sci-fi sex workers
Image by Modern Citizen. One of my favorite webzines, H+, has two fantastic articles surrounding the upcoming cheesy-looking (but still I’m going to see it) film “Surrogates” and dances with our ongoing fascinations with sci-fi sex workers. “Surrogates” (formerly a graphic novel by Robert Venditti) has been made into a Hollywood film scheduled for release…
The cryptic (but cool) Google Sidewiki package
I just got a FedEx delivered to my door from Google: it’s a Google Sidewiki package! I’m excited to jump into the Sidewiki editorial and informational fray. It’s a pretty brilliant idea. Anyone have any initial thoughts yet? More images after the jump, and you can click to enlarge and read the pages Google marked…
Flowchart to my heart (and other parts): OKCupid’s trend blog
Question: Would you consider role-playing out a rape fantasy with partner who asked you to? 340,000 people responded. Green = YES, Red = NO. It’s a very specialized kind of porn. It’s my kind of porn. It’s data mining porn! Recently (in June) and with little fanfare to the world outside, popular dating site OKCupid,…
