[Video] Rihanna’s S&M Is Hot!

1 February 2011

Rihanna just became one of my fetish pop heroes with this new video for her song S&M. There is so much to love about this one - she's not only giving Lady Gaga a run for the money, but Rihanna's doing it all her own way. It's fun, it's sexy, […]

Get Your Glasses: YouPorn Experiments With 3D Porn

30 January 2011

I've held off on posting about YouPorn's foray into 3D red-cyan glasses porn (Anaglyph - or amber-blue for purists) - only because YouPorn a) did not have enough videos for me to send you there for a decent post, and b) they violate my sensibilities by not allowing me to […]
