and now, the penis

10 January 2010
Image by Many rivers to cross. There were just too many penis news items in my tabs not to share them with you. It's like, dick weekend or something. * UK Men: Written Consent for Sperm Use After Death (carnalnation.com) Or, how to have a dead guy's baby. Really. * The Semen Survey, […]

who has two thumbs, a vagina, and doesn’t blink? the new sex robot

10 January 2010
Image of two sex dolls by the amazing Stacy Leigh. Happily not attending the AEE porn trade show or AVN (trade magazine) porn awards, and watching the meltdowns and sadness from afar, I've been pruning through what little press there's been about it this year. Attendance for AEE/AVN (same difference) is […]

a very specialized menu

9 January 2010
Sent to me today from dearest Jonno dot com who writes, "A rather extraordinary menu from Mrs. F.A. Tasse’s “Capacious Capsulation Parlors” in the collection of my friends at the Block-Keller House, New Orleans." Clicking to enlarge the image is highly recommended (it's SO Deadwood), and his comments are well […]

love: Midori’s ‘Kinky Shopaholic’s Guide to Japan’

8 January 2010
Image of nude on Tokyo streets by Sixism. I probably don't need to tell you that I adore Midori (I profiled and interviewed her in the San Francisco Chronicle here and here), and that she's also a friend. Sitting home on a friday night while all my friends are out at […]

Google Chrome’s ‘Incognito’ mode (aka porn mode)

8 January 2010
Image by Malecution. Firefox has long been the ruler of the 'porn mode' space when it comes to browsers that make protecting your privacy and history easy -- especially with Pornzilla. Safari also has a "porn mode" and so does Internet Explorer if you know where to look. I'm currently primarily […]

happy happy hentai trailer overload

8 January 2010
Screencap from trailer for "Variable Neo Geo: A Brutal Battle Between The Sexiest Waitresses." It's been a while since I've done a hentai post; I like to wait until I find hentai that is explicit (hardcore sex), not pixelated, typically more funny than arousing, surprisingly arousing when you think it's going […]

this week’s column: where are my smelling salts?

8 January 2010
This week's SF Chronicle column was an examination at the 'bromance' controversy brewing around feature film "Sherlock Holmes" versus how loboto-exciting the "Avatar" so-called 'deleted' sex scenes might be. What I didn't see coming was that the "Holmes" controversy was on smaller gossip blogs when I researched it, but when […]

American nipples: sex study praised as urgent wake-up call

6 January 2010
Image by artsy_j. Now this is more like it. Leave it to The Onion to be hot on the trail of cutting edge sex studies this week, in the spirit of the recent headline-grabbing UK G-spot study. In Politics: Nation's Nipples Severely Under-Clamped, U.S. Bureau Of Masochism Reports: WASHINGTON—A new study released […]

I’m In UR Internets Findin’ UR G-Spots

6 January 2010
Click to read; solar cell researchers to blame for recent g-spot study, by XKCD. Whenever we're in doubt about sex research... if only XKCD could take over all media messages, and put things to rest. And when a topic close to me is covered by an XKCD comic, I feel like […]

bicycle bondage for AIDS lifecycle (exclusive) and final rule

4 January 2010
Image of Jiz Lee by SE Photoimaging. Today is January 4 -- the day that final rule goes into effect, finally lifting the US embargo on HIV+ non-residents, and removing the requirement that immigrants and aliens undergo required HIV testing to come to this country. Welcome to America, finally. Today, the […]

dude, where’s my g-spot?

4 January 2010
It was there when I went to sleep. I woke up, and thought I'd parked it in front of my house, I mean the anterior wall of my vagina. Now it's gone! Not really. Don't believe the latest round of hype. It's anecdotal, not physiological, and news outlets running the 'g-spot […]

pondering the Darwinian outcome of ‘purifying the internet environment’ for ‘state security’

2 January 2010
Self-portrait by The Internet's Girlfriend (and my friend) Dana DeArmond. I in no way intend to trivialize the situation with this comparison, but it's really hard not to look at the tally of porn crackdowns and arrests in China last year and compare them to Princess Leia's memorable quote from Star […]

scenes from The Upper Floor

2 January 2010
In the beginning of December, I made a post announcing that there was going to be a live webcast tour to launch Kink's new site The Upper Floor. In the post I explained what I understood the content and theme of the site was going to be; literally a decadent […]

ambient eros: TimeFreeze photography

1 January 2010
Image by Evgeny Goncharov. I hope that today's discovery of Moscow denizen Evgeny Goncharov and his graceful portfolio of glamor nudes indicates a taste of what awaits me in the porn mines for the year ahead. I wandered across his photostream on Flickr an hour ago, and have been enjoying a […]

sex doesn’t sell (the blockbuster remix)

1 January 2010
Exception: put a naked Robert Downey Jr. in anything, and I'll buy it. If you've been reading my Chronicle column for a while, you'll remember back in late 2008 when I did a piece illustrating that the maxim "sex sells" is an outdated notion -- a sex-negative one -- that no […]

1 January 2010
Happy New Year everyone! I'm still glowing from being named Examiner's Sex Writer of the Year. Yayz! The full Sexaminer award list is here -- congrats to Sasha Grey. Also, while we're on the publicity front, some people know me from my (apparently unforgettable) appearance in MacHeads: The Movie, a film […]
