searching

17 June 2009
I took this self-portrait last night with my old Virgin/Helio Ocean. But I was just made an offer I can't refuse by Nokia, backed by Qik. Time to go all the way with Nokia? I do love my (sponsored) N-95 8G. Let me know what you think... I take my […]

your morning porn greeting

17 June 2009
Image from this gallery of images and videos. It's one hell of a hot scene and features some truly amazing women (yay Lorelei!) This three-girl BDSM scene is fresh on the site, and is just too good to come across my radar and not share with you: be warned, it's quite […]

madison young’s site relaunch: extra yum

16 June 2009
Image of Kimberly Kane by Zak Smith, who is featured on Madison's front page for a solo scene. Today Madison Young announced the redesign and relaunch of her website Madison Bound: Your Kinky Girl Next Door. I took a look around and it's not your average porn paysite, or one-girl site […]

let Honey and Bunny show you how to “spank the MP”

16 June 2009
Spank the MP. Has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Don't choke the poor chicken anymore; at least that's what Coco de Mer's Sam Roddick is telling me this morning in my inbox. She writes, At Coco de Mer we not only make it our mission to bring you […]

xkcd: android girlfriend + future sex at LeWeb 2009

15 June 2009
Click through to read the rest, you will not regret it. After spending most of my day editing translated transcripts (English to Viennese to English ::sigh) from a talk I gave last year on "technology and the erotic" for an international sex and technology conference, it's appropriate that JT simultaneously sent […]

and now, the sex and zen controversy

15 June 2009
Image via Wysoccan. With no small amount of irony, I'm realizing that this post, about sex and Zen Buddhism will likely piss off more people than my last post about the HIV outbreak. Quietly, in a meditative kind of way, of course. So I'll blame it all on my friend Brad […]

The HIV Outbreak Controversy in Porn Valley Rages Onward

15 June 2009
Right as I went crashing into my last book deadline, I got an email from a friend saying my voice was wanted in this MeFi thread, Publicizing HIV cases in the porn industry. I don't know; some of the comments are spot-on and clarify quite a bit. Others, not so […]

kunniringusu: the Japanese-English Guide To Sex, Kink And Naughtiness

15 June 2009
Image by Danny Choo. It goes without saying (but I'll write it anyway) that I'm pleased to discover that the word "kunniringusu" (Japanese for cunnilingus) is included in Nate Jensen's new book The Japanese-English Guide To Sex, Kink And Naughtiness. I know the word's included *not* because I have a copy […]

CFNM: boys in trouble

13 June 2009
Image from the gallery "First Day At Work". As many readers know, I am a big fan of CFNM, which is short for 'clothed female, naked male'. I particularly like the power dynamic and the playfulness, and with UK-based Pure CFNM I love that everyone looks like they're having fun, the […]

in praise of david bailey & rankin

12 June 2009
Image by David Bailey & Rankin, available here. Their work is gorgeous and expensive. You can get prints here; you can buy his book here. There's a lot of tasteful-nasty-sexy to see on photographerslimitededitions.com (via High on Sex). I'm excited to discover Rankin, too.

pun-a-licious: yes, the Cybernet Expo is coming to SF

12 June 2009
Image by elaisted. And I'm speaking in this Cybernet Expo 2009 convention. I'll be talking about writing. And stuff. I'll be around making media and probably getting in arguments, as usual because I'm not from "the industry". There's a good writeup in the Guardian's Sex SF blog about it, with a […]

a visit to the sex therapist

11 June 2009
Can it be any more uncomfortable -- or funny? I am sure this is what it is really like. More from my pal Liam in Dr. Ulee, Sex Therapist.

this week’s Chron column: Bill Killed

11 June 2009
Image via bangbang. I saw [typo fixed] the autopsy photos and the pic of him hanging in the closet. So this week I wrote Bill Killed - Violet Blue: The passing of David Carradine and the controversy of risk-aware kink. It's very much about the death of David Carradine, and as […]

skeet! it’s Kelly from the ‘hood in “No Booty Calls”

10 June 2009
Make your day and *do not miss* this hilarious video! Many know and love Kelly (my pal, Liam and his rad wife), and Kelly's got a hilarious new music video up: No Booty Calls. I love the "I'm a graphic designer for a shoe company..." line that makes her swoon. […]

new study – still not all that and a bag of chips: women, porn and violence

9 June 2009
Image by FML Photography. So, Katherine Broendel begins her post with all the stuff she left out in Effects of Pornography on Perceptions of Women & Sexual Violence (such as the exclusion of sexual violence against men/LGBT communities, which is actually pretty significant for the conversation) and that's a good way […]

and from old media: the sound of silence

9 June 2009
Image taken by dotBen and instantly uploaded to Flickr with my Nokia N95 8GB. Sent this email after seeing this front page article online and in print Sunday, especially after what happened with my column last week: Hi Joe [Garofoli], Just wanted to say that I enjoyed your piece on George Tiller and […]

speaking of photo IP theft: in praise of photo piracy

8 June 2009
Images by Merkley???. Image by Cari Ann Wayman. So, we've been pretty unsuccessful in tracking down the image in my previous post, which is both disappointing (I want to get the artist proper credit and see more of their work) but is also a very interesting real-world thought experiment. How exactly do […]

rope marks

7 June 2009
Tumblr annoys and infuriates me to extremes. Like, I love this image above -- but who the hell is the photographer, and how can I right the wrong of seeing their gorgeous image (and pretty model) hit a couple Tumblr blogs (like this one) with no attribution whatsoever? I mean, […]

it’s a nice day for a… space wedding

6 June 2009
In case you missed it on the Telegraph, Space or a couple other media outlets, a very cute and nerdy space-obsessed New York based couple are set to have the first-ever wedding in zero gravity. Of course, they're blogging the whole experience as they go along, and the couple is […]
