Finally Sex Journalism We Can Understand

19 July 2010
I know you're going to click on the NMA News (Taiwan) video above and think uh, I don't remember this in The Sims. But that's okay. NMA News takes today's headlines and locks them up on Second Life's Shutter Island for a few hours before showing us the real stories. It's […]

19 July 2010
Respected sex educator and internationally controversial performance artist Midori is seeking written submissions from women about orgasm, in your own words.

Did You Know? Abby Winters Broke Up With Australia

18 July 2010
Abby Winters is probably the widest-known Australian porn company; I've long loved I Feel Myself and Girls Out West: but they all they typify the non-porn-star, natural beauty and sex-postive, non-exploitative ethic that personifies how Aussie porn is seen by the rest of the world. Authentic amateurs, happy to be […]

Relax, Everyone: It’s Just Porn

17 July 2010
I'm sitting here feeling genuinely irritated that Newsweek isn't allowing comments on their book review of "Pornland" even though they are making it seem like they are. They do that bullshit cookie thing that makes you think your comment was accepted, so lame, so typical. I registered and left a […]

New OkTrends Post: The Biggest Lies In Dating and Sexual Presentation

17 July 2010
Getting hot sex, romance, keeping sex hot, making love work: even if we believe honesty is the "best policy" I've noticed that it seems like we seldom practice what we preach. It's usually with good intent, but still... I've been giving a lot of thought as to why people feel […]

This goes on the growing list of things I want to see: on this Sunday July 18, TLC (cable channel here in the US) begins airing its six-part series called "Strange Sex." Naturally I wonder what's ended up in this category with slight trepidation that certain sexual activities falling outside […]

[Videos] Armand Van Helden: Hear My Name and Shake That Ass

15 July 2010
The music isn't my favorite but after seeing Armand Van Helden's video for Hear My Name on The Sex Carnival, I'm a fan regardless. Taking tea in a luxe mansion and doling out spankings all day long does not look like such a bad pastime... I also have no problems whatsoever […]

The Periodic Table of Swearing

10 July 2010
Sadly, The Periodic Table of Swearing by Modern Toss is currently out of stock. It was also extremely expensive. Still, the very British-flavored periodic table of verbal obscenities and graphic insults is really entertaining (click to view large size for detail, link via The Awesomer). I'm definitely going to start […]

9 July 2010
I'm not a sex advice columnist, nor do I particularly want to be one, but I thought it would be fun to answer a sex question once a week on my Facebook page. I have over a decade of training and do hotline sex crisis counseling now and then, and […]
