Another great photo by Curtis Joe Walker. Last month (thanks to, and with my friend Ed Hunsinger) I got exclusive access (more thanks to CerebralHack) to try a NeuroSky headset and video game that I controlled with my mind. I’m not joking — read more in this post (cerebralhack.com). As you can see in the…

It’s SXSWi panel voting time!
Image by malecution. It’s not until next year, but the voting opened for panels at South By SouthWest Interactive 2010. There are a good number of sex and porn panels up for votes, though I’m not in them! I’m excited to ask you for a vote on our panel (which includes Twitter’s John Adams), How…
Broken condom… ROFL?
A broken condom is never a reason to ROFL. Unless you’re the Molecular and Cell Biology graduate students at UC Berkeley who dictate the gratuitous ROFL-age at NCBI ROFL. Their recent post Those are the [condom] breaks highlights the “laboratory coital model” used to test condom breakage in a PubMed.gov study enlighteningly titled “Male condoms…
Adult-only social networks
When cleaning up my site pages, I saw that on of the old links had been hijacked with a redirect to Rudespace. Sure, the people who’d previously owned the site had packed up shop so it’s all business, right? Anyway, I think we’re going to see more and more Online Booty Calls kind of sites…
The sexing of the iPhone cannot be stopped
Cheesy. Oh so cheesy. If I dated someone who had an iPhone, I’d have to get the “slide to unlock” iPanties (thanks Ariel!) Or, I’d get him/her right on their one-handed, sticky screen inducing copy of the titsiphone app with images snaked from, and presented on, Tumblr but cropped and nip-slipped with a bit of…
Unpublished, redux
I’m speechless too — and now BoingBoing has banned him as a commenter which is ridiculous — but the last line in Orwellian, Indeed is epic: I don’t even know what to say about this. Remember the whole violet blue thing at BoingBoing last year? The bit where Xeni Jardin disappeared a bunch of posts…
Purity ring (abstinence) iPhone app
What you see in the image is a screenshot of the Purity Ring iPhone app, where one — were one so inclined to pledge one’s life to abstinence and chastity — can download and take the pledge, wearing their ring on their iPhone. Where it really means something, along with that “Pull My Finger” iPhone…
Revealed: The (sex) writer’s tech arsenal
I’m excited to tell you that I’ve joined Jonathan Coulton, Gina Trapani, Alex Payne and more uber-geeks in The Setup — a tell-all about our personal hardware and software habits and tools, and our dream setups. Here’s a snip from mine: Who are you and what do you do? I’m an author, columnist, speaker, sex…
This week’s SF Chron column: The dildroid and iPhone sex apps
Image by CoreForce. This week’s San Francisco Chronicle column is a brief and ridiculous history of people trying to make the iPhone into a sex toy, sex phone apps, and a mixture of dismay, bemusement, hope for the Android, and a sigh of resignation that no one’s going to be imaginative enough to really make…
This week’s Chron column: Asking Hunch about sex
This week I had a little naughty fun with the new startup Hunch. In addition to asking the surprisingly intuitive service about sex (and have it be a scary non-intuitive experience), I asked it if I was gay — and boy, were the results hilarious. There is no bisexual orientation. Hunch isn’t even bi-curious. My…
