expanding on the “erotic capital” theory

5 May 2010
Image of Natasha S from this gallery. Yesterday I read two great articles about sociologist Catherine Hakim's theory on "erotic capital." One way by Hakim herself in the pages of Prospect magazine titled Have you got erotic capital? The other was an interview with Hakim called Making capital out of sex […]

the Batman XXX parody: purrrfect

5 May 2010
Great job Vivid -- I can't wait to see this. (There's a slideshow on the Examiner.) The casting looks spot-on, and as for the rest, I'll let Comics Alliance explain: (...) this might be the first pornographic parody that actually has higher production values than the source material. And secondly, the […]

Kink Your Kindle

3 May 2010
If you have a Kindle, then you know it's great for reading books privately; I mean how embarrassing for anyone to see you publicly reading a Dan Brown novel. The shame! A while back I wrote a Kink Up Your Kindle feature for my old column and it's full of erotic […]

of brands and tattoos: Korean artist Kim Joon

2 May 2010
Korean artist Kim Joon has been making global waves for about five years, exhibiting work that shocks Korean audiences and fetches high sums in UK auctions. Tonight my friend Praemedia sent me linkage to a mini-post on Street Anatomy featuring a few of his pieces, but without the intriguing backstory […]

spam fortune cookies – make your penis bigger and satisfy her all night long

1 May 2010
Spam is evil, but being a combination of sexually inappropriate, always improbable and unintentionally hilarious, it has inspired many. My favorite post about spam -- sex spam -- was Eros Blog's Sex Spam Subject Lines. Which is why I think Breadpig's Spam Fortune Cookies in the XKCD store are made […]

uncensored: Christina Aguilera’s ‘Not Myself Tonight’

1 May 2010
I'm strangely disappointed by this. I mean, I love eroto-pop moments. And the Swarovski ball gag = WANT. But I think I expected more. There are no layers. Nothing happens in it. Some of it is hot, but it's all a bit obvious. It's like someone thought they should put […]

Tinker Bell as… Tinker Bill?

30 April 2010
Image of an astonished Frodo Baggins by Rebecca Tillett. Kids are awesome. You tell them gender is binary and they ask for a cookie. (...) Tinker Bell and her mischievous crew of fluttery scamps have been familiar to little girls – and their parents – ever since Disney rolled out the fairy […]

Craigslist: opinions are like assholes; everybody’s got one

30 April 2010
This past week, Craigslist has been under fire once again for its Adult Services section, with people getting all kinds of stiffies reporting about the money they've been making since they implemented new policies, where that money goes, and generally listening to Connecticut's attorney general Richard Blumenthal about how he […]

a porn refresher

29 April 2010
Image from this *hot* Met Art gallery. Hot fun! Take a break from everyone else's porn problems and enjoy the good stuff here with me. This post is not galleries of women posing; this one is all action. These hardcore treats are handpicked, free, explicit, might have very light kink if […]

Bruno Bisang: Beautiful Beauties

28 April 2010
And to think that I haven't had Bruno Bisang on these pages since 2006... Do take a minute to enjoy the online gallery from his show at the Young Gallery in Brussels (France Belgium) -- sadly we missed the show, which opened in January and closed on April 3. He's […]

hot boy Thursday: Alexander Skarsgard

28 April 2010
I know it's been way too long since we've had a Hot Boy Thursday around here; hopefully this item about Alexander Skarsgard will bring Thursday back. On Wednesday. At the very least, it's giving me the vapors. Towleroad tells us that the True Blood star (and star of Generation Kill) is […]

dating site smackdowns: not a fair fight

28 April 2010
Image from this set on Fashion Gone Rogue via Modfetish. I was just catching up on the OkCupid blog (OkTrends) and found a surprise. Even though I missed the update (it's from April 7), I was a bit shocked to see that the founder of OkCupid had basically punched eHarmony and […]

Tuesday Nibbles: Boobquake, Female Orgasm Brain Imaging, Chicago’s Sex IQ

27 April 2010
I've had my head down working on a big article; I'm also about to sail into one book deadline followed by another. And I'm loving losing myself in writing and researching sex (though in need of friends and affection, argh). Such as it is. The world of sex news keeps […]

If you're in San Francisco tomorrow afternoon and feel like soaking up some of our local sexy, Agent Provocateur is having a live modeling show in their storefront window -- and the show will also be happening simultaneously in the […]

well, they certainly weren’t regulating: the SEC porn scandal

23 April 2010
Warning: this image leads to an explicit gallery. About five hours ago, ABC News broke a story that an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission's inspector general has busted 31 of the agency's employees (including 17 senior officers) for surfing porn during work -- while the economy was in meltdown, […]

new discovery: ophoria euphoria

22 April 2010
While out and about in SF a few days ago I paid a visit to local retailer Stormy Leather and discovered a new product line, Ophoria toys. I'd seen them on Babeland (and yes, Amazon) but hadn't had a chance to check them out in person. Once I saw the […]

vote in the British general erection

22 April 2010
Image by Pete Woodhead. Yes, you read that correctly. It's voting time in the UK, and it looks like their electoral process needs a fluffer. My cheeky friends at LoveHoney UK are featuring their bestselling vibrating cockring (great for clitoral and electoral stimulation) as a super-special General Erection Love Ring for […]

calling bullshit on FOX and ABC: the “inappropriate” plus-sized woman

21 April 2010
Above is a commercial made by Lane Bryant to air during the show "Dancing With the Stars" also known domestically as "Desperate Trainwrecks." FOX and ABC refused to show the commercial during “Dancing with the Stars” without restricting the commercial's airtime to the final moments of the show. FOX demanded […]

the animated gif as erotic art: Three Frames

21 April 2010
The animated gif was a source of wonder for the collective internet for about five minutes, then became one of the most annoying things ever, along with nonconsensual popup window blizzards and automatic browser resize. They inspire ire like no other, perhaps due to the nagging effect they have on […]

great review of Seal It With A Kiss — now in Russian!

21 April 2010
If I become too 'stuck on repeat' about my books here, please tell me; I think I'm extra bloggy about my new kissing book Seal It With A Kiss because a) I hadn't written a book in a long time, and b) this book's life after hitting print is kind […]
