Current TV does “Porn 2.0″

10 November 2009
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. […]

the bigboob fairy has landed [artist Shu Yong]

9 November 2009
In 2007 I blogged about finding Chinese artist Shu Yong's then work in progress: many fiberglass, huge-breasted tiny fairies, on a scale that is both awesome and unsettling. As I discovered on Daze Reader, Shu Young's sculptures have now seen the light of day and are causing quite a fuss […]

it’s not rope: couture Shibari in Exit Magazine

9 November 2009
This fashion photo shoot is arresting in every sense: the mood, feeling, sexiness and my incessant wondering what the metal "rope" is made of that they used for the very nice Shibari (Japanese art of rope bondage). This is a fashion photo shoot for the insanely sexy Exit Magazine, featuring […]

objectify me: hot for Jimmyjane’s new Form 2

9 November 2009
I heard it was in development, I read the pre-press materials (and got inspired for a theory I have about designer sex toys), and still had no idea what Jimmyjane's Form 2 was going to be like. I mean, I saw a photo. They described it in text. Still, I […]

Consumer Reports on condoms

9 November 2009
Consumer Reports is such a tease. I've always wanted to be the host of a sex Mythbusters. Or host a "how things are made" show for sex. Or the host of a Consumer Reports for sex show. So when CR does anything about sex, I get all rosy-cheeked and excited. […]

in NYC: provocative “Journey” on sex trafficking

8 November 2009
Image by kargaltsev. This is something I'd really like to see: the large walk-through art installation "Journey" which opens in New York City next week, depicting the story of a woman sold into human trafficking for sex. Very much *not* the sexual slavery used in consensual fantasy between adults, but instead […]

the “hand of god” bra

7 November 2009
Maybe you saw this on Cherrybombed in late October -- or like me, you didn't. The "She's Mine" video is in Chinese, the "God's Hand" technology is made in Japan.... Or perhaps it's divine breatsial intervention. Either way, this ad for incredible new boob [technology] is hilare.

two much needed emails

7 November 2009
Self-portrait by Kristamas Klousch. I know that a) my column has gone live on its national newspaper site and b) that I'm home when I get these two astounding emails. I don't need to look to know what's being said about me: being a woman and writing about sex is a […]

gratuitous sex research pr0n

4 November 2009
Image by Julia Skobeleva. When you're a sex educator, lecturer, researcher and all-around sex geek, data and research related to sexuality is its own pornography. I can never seem to get enough -- it's so fascinating, titillating, the information itself is totally irresistible. For a sex research perv like me, the […]

It feels *so good* to be recognized for all the hard work putting all these resources together, plus […]

sadly, when it comes to punishing teens for sexual behavior online, this story has it all

1 November 2009
Image by Modern Citizen. I should be asleep. Outside I can hear the Castro going off with Halloween revelry. Tomorrow I'll be on a plane with dotBen, tagging along as he goes to a conference and I take a writing holiday (that's a vacation, which I have not had one of […]
