From Wired: Judge Temporarily Bars Prosecutor from Charging Teens for Child Porn Pics.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania has granted a temporary restraining order to prevent a district attorney from charging three teenage girls with the production of child pornography for allowing someone to take photos of them in states of undress.

In his ruling (.pdf) the judge seemed to agree with the plaintiffs that the images in question do not qualify as child pornography. (…read more, blog.wired.com)

It’s finally out! Remember a while back when Margaret Cho invaded my house and shot a music video with me? Now San Francisco by Jill Sobule is live (above), and it includes not only Jill Sobule and Margaret Cho and me, but also Peter Acworth, Princess Donna, Lorelei Lee, Stephen Elliott and many, many more amazing people. Margaret told me they tried to edit it to look like Peter and I are singing to each other (!), but you just have to *love* seeing him dressed like a king singing from the top of The Armory. San Francisco, I adore you.

And Margaret — I love you, too. I hope she feels better soon, and can make it to SF to host the GayVN’s tomorrow, which I’ll be covering for… someone.

Scott also blogged this on Laughing Squid — thank you, Scott!

Sadly, this is the last of the Andrew Blake exclusives — for now. Once again, big thanks to Mr. Blake for sending me these — and if you want to see them in larger sizes next time, let me know. In addition to his website, you can also get Blake on demand (by the minute, even) in this custom theater that Kink.com made just for me (for us). Yay!

More very graphic images after the jump.

This is a nice (and humorous) piece about paying attention during sex, and how mindfulness can help with arousal and orgasm. Of course, my porn-addled ADD brain only got halfway through the piece before I had to go find a hot photo to go with this post so you’ll have to tell me how it ends, snip:

The Journal of Sex Research has a fascinating article on the role of attention in sexual arousal and how we use our mental focus to explore and control excitement during sex. We can see from our everyday lives that attention is important for sex. We can distract ourselves to avoid sexual arousal when our mind has wandered onto sexual topics and we don’t want to get aroused, or we want to prolong sexual enjoyment without getting over-aroused.

We also can do the reverse and focus strongly on sexual fantasies or our partner to dispel other thoughts and lose ourselves in the sexual moment. However, the article looks at the scientific research on attention during sex and discusses how this can help us understand and treat sexual problems.

The drug industry has a lot invested in telling people that sexual difficulties are almost entirely due to problems with the genitals. For example, the website for Viagra promotes the line that erectile dysfunction is a problem with your cock, saying that “It happens when not enough blood flows to the penis”.

Which is a bit like saying poverty is when not enough money gets to poor people. (…read more, mindhacks.com, thanks Praemedia!)
