The Capital One credit card option when clicking on Prints and More above the image? Here's the link. This is a Flickr sponsored deal, btw. They let […]

porn against prop 8? you betcha.

27 October 2008
We've been reading all about Apple giving money, and Google giving a nod. And what's really stuck in our collective throats is that the Mormon church has martialized out of state resources to support the utter awfulness of California's Prop 8 -- and used over 8 million in tax-free church […]

the bestial beauty of nathan appel’s photography

27 October 2008
Photograph by Nathan Appel. I'm still not sure what to be for Halloween. In between doing an interview about sex and robots today, and reviewing Kimberly Kane's incredible upcoming film Live In My Secrets, I came across the photography of Nathan Appel. Pretty, disturbing, edgy, sophisticated and very sexy -- his […]

new GETV! Escape From Berkeley!

27 October 2008
It's been a while -- too long, Eddie and I thought, and so we jumped at the chance to cover Escape From Berkeley. I did some early pre-press in this techyum post but nothing compared to the day the race began: getting up early on saturday and interviewing the […]

pre-Halloween shenanigans and the uploaded party

27 October 2008
Photo by Scott Beale/Laughing Squid. Last saturday I had an intimate, impromptu pre-Halloween party -- I know I forgot to invite a handful of people, but after ten months without a party I'm a little rusty (and plan to make up for it, do not fret). It's weird having Halloween on […]

26 October 2008
Image via GalaDarling. While I ease through a hangover and into the day, I'm checking out the numbers in Guardian (UK) Observer's just released sex poll findings. Check it out: One in five have had sex at work. A third of us lose our virginity before the age of consent. Half of […]

25 October 2008
Image of Freya A from this gallery. I get tons of galleries through my inbox all week; I wait until the end of the week to start picking through them and create a post with the ones I think really stand out from the rest. I just think it's nice to […]

love’s many mysteries

25 October 2008
Image via GalaDarling, my love. I just now happened to click on Jiz Lee's beautiful post, Love Begets Love -- while listening to Mary J Blige's "What Love Is". Thank you, Jiz. A month ago I realized I believe in love too -- that I have to, to keep doing what […]

fangtastic explicit Halloween audio erotica

24 October 2008
Image of Apnea's great pumpkin massacre by Deviant Nation's Flickr stream. Halloween is next friday, a week away, but there are a lot of costume parties and pre-Halloween shenanigans set for this weekend. To get myself even more in the mood, I consulted the spellbooks (I keep them next to Kinsey's […]

safely fucking anonymous johns with inspiration from TCP/IP

24 October 2008
Image by airgap. How I came across this brilliant post is a bit of a story, but it's by way of my Twitter account -- and it's a really eloquent piece about fantasy versus reality when it comes to sex worker fantasies. And realities. "Three-way handshake" indeed. There's a lot of […]

apple = no on prop 8

24 October 2008
Image by h.andras_xms. YAY for Apple! From Viviane: No on Prop 8 October 24, 2008 Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly […]

a sojourn – the start of cheesy Halloween porn

24 October 2008
Image of Evie Delatosso from this gallery; .wmv video from the same shoot is here. And when I say cheesy, I really mean it. This time of year is when I get to ogle all the bad babes-and-blood galleries, zombie porno videos and awesomely bad lesbian vampire action I can. And […]

Australian net filtering story just gets weirder

24 October 2008
Just last week I reported here on the Australian government's big dumb and sad plan to filter the Internet for all Australian citizens against illegal and "inappropriate content" with no opt-out -- despite the government's own study telling it that filters are both ineffective and inefficient. Now, the story takes […]

hot boy thursday: a quickie

23 October 2008
I've wanted to shoot a male erotic mirror series very similar to this for quite a while, but I only seem to hook up with fairly shy boys. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the images by gertharms. Besides the above photostream, I found a couple of yummy galleries to pass the […]

no more Palin porn, kthxbye!

23 October 2008
Image of Lisa Ann as Serra Paylin in Hustler's "Who's Nailin' Paylin?" via sacrificio19, but Hustler has hardcore stills, if you want to spend the next four years scrubbing your eye sockets with brillo pads and figuring out how to actually put your brain in an autoclave to get the […]

UK kicks US ass at sex ed, again

23 October 2008
When you think about all the leading minds in the world we have here in America -- some of the greatest thinkers, artists, writers, intellectuals and educators in human sexuality, we should really be leading the way. But no. Maybe that makes me want to try harder -- and I […]

the ecosexual’s case against long distance relationships

23 October 2008
Image by i want some15. I know plenty of people who have online loves and remote lovers, but is it a sustainable model? I don't mean in the long-term love sense, or the hot sex forever sense --- in the *green* sense. Slate doesn't think so. Snip, sans external links: You're sitting […]

the unbearable lightness of being Sasha Grey

22 October 2008
I've had Sasha Grey on my mind a lot this week; I don't know her personally, but she's popped up in my life a few times over the past year in some fairly significant ways. She really hit my frontal lobe last week when Fleshbot covered some on-set sideline footage […]
