Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger. Or porn impresario Larry Flynt, author of a new book, “One Nation Under Sex: How the Private Lives of Presidents, First Ladies and Their Lovers Changed the Course of American History.” This public-private collision turns up as sexual speed traps in the waylaid careers of Schwarzenegger, Newt Gingrich, John Edwards and fully half of the presidents in our history, according to [Larry] Flynt’s [new] book.

“I come first, and then he comes, and as he pulls out I burst out crying hysterically, asking him to hold me as I sob. It’s strange, although I have cried twice before after orgasm with him, but never so hard, and never in my long history of other partners. I realize it is because after all these years of sex with other people, he’s the first person I have been sleeping with that I deeply love who deeply loves me back.” The Female Architect Who Cries After Sex With Her Transgender Boyfriend (in a Good Way) (Daily Intel)
“(…) when a woman is wearing clothes that other folks will describe as slutty or sexual, there is the possibility that a perpetrator might choose to assault her because it’s likely that she’ll be blamed or ignored. Perpetrators and predators go after targets they think they can get away with, and women who are perceived as sluts make easier targets. Slut-shaming makes victim blaming easier.” Slut-Shaming Enables Rape (Charlie Glickman)
Many teens are “savvy consumers” who are skeptical about contraception information they find online or hear from their friends, new research suggests. Teens ‘wary’ consumers of safe sex information: study (National Post)
“(…) I (19) appreciate he at least tried to make an effort to reciprocate, because he said he felt bad for taking more than he gave, and I know he feels really bad he doesn’t like it. But at the same time, he still won’t do it. It’s frustrating for me because I loved the feeling of it and I haven’t been fully satisfied with him just fingering me. How do I bring this up?” He gets oral sex from me: what can I do to get him to give me some? (Scarleteen)
This video isn’t brand-new – it was shot last October – but I just stumbled across this music video directed by Chad Michael Ward, an erotic photographer whose work I’ve admired for many years. Apparently this is a “secret stripper version” of the song’s video, Combichrist‘s “Throat Full of Glass.”
The dancer is crush-worthy Athena Fatale. Yummy girl!

When we talk in public about sex online, much of what we say focuses on the dangers of cyber stalking, so-called internet porn addiction, or how the Internet is turning us into anti-social robot-shells of our former socially skilled selves. Researchers are calling for a much needed rethinking of the way researchers, public health workers, and the media think about sex online. Chipping Away at the Internet Sex Monolith (About Sexuality)

This weekend I must finish Best Women’s Erotica 2012 and the second, revised edition of Fetish Sex and so I impulsively escaped to The Citizen Hotel in Sacramento, California – where it turns out that one of the hotel’s bartenders is remarkable erotic painter, Ryan Seng.
Prior to my mad writer’s dash to retreat and focus, I tweeted that I was headed to Sacramento. In response, a Twitter friend suggested I should stay at The Citizen Hotel (as did Thomas Roche). It’s one of the coolest things that’s happened to me via my Twitter account. The hotel tweeted a hello to me, and that got me to take a closer look and discover that the hotel is a gorgeous politically-themed environ with a heavy accent on scandal and naughtiness. In fact, one of the in-house bars is actually called The Scandal, and The Citizen has saucy packages with names like the “Full Stimulus Package” which encourages ‘dirty politics.’ I love it!
I was reading in the bar last night and got to talking with the bartenders – one whose ears perked up when I mentioned that I write and speak about sex and technology. I’m so glad he mentioned his work as a painter, as I just looked him up and – wow – his giant paintings in oil are fabulous. Playfully dirty, they’re all about gods, goddesses, sex and technology, with highly entertaining doses of pop culture.
In between writing and editing tomorrow I’m going to try to visit a club called The Shady Lady. A former prohibition-era speakeasy, it has a giant erotic mural on one of the walls by Seng that has a strong Boardwalk Empire vibe. I’ll update this post if I get a good photo of it.
Some of you have been requesting another bi (male) installment of Eye Candy, and I’ve been on the hunt for weeks!
In industry terms, “bisexual porn” is a catch-all phrase for male-male-female activity where there is intentional same-sex contact between the men. It is, in my experience, a popular and extremely underserved category. In mainstream porn, the word “bisexual” indicates a specific gender – male. It does not indicate same-sex female contact, despite the fact that in real life bisexuality is a sexual orientation, not solely a male sex act. “Bisexual porn” is also usually relegated to “fetish” categories. Either because it’s considered freakish, or as if same-sex male contact that isn’t gay-identified is somehow related to having an interest in being a human pony or becoming aroused by watersports. I mean, who the fuck knows? The people labeling and marketing it sure don’t, that much is obvious.
I just hate how this whole issue illustrates how little pornographers know about human sexuality and their customers – IMO, they’re just as bad as their anti-porn counterparts in this respect. (Such is the sex-negativity, consumer ignorance, blatant disregard for porn viewers, and homophobia of mainstream porn.)
When I worked at a sex toy, video and book retailer, the bisexual-male titles sold the hell out of everything else. And the good ones were always few and far between, despite the fact that the few good ones we could find flew off the shelves year-round. So I just don’t get the disconnect: bi-male porn is perennially popular and has been for the decade-plus I’ve been observing the market, and I still struggle to find good bi-male porn. Or bi-male porn that looks like it was made after 1990.
If you find good bi-male porn, please send it my way. I love it. Could you imagine if Andrew Blake did bi-male MMF threeways? Hot. Anyway, here’s what I’ve got for you this round:

Often I see sex-related news stories, and I think: "There's absolutely no way I would ever write about that, because it's stupid." As I've been informed by erotica writer Nikki Magennis, that's because I keep reading the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail does indeed seem to be decidedly Foxy -- it […]
