objectify me: hot for Jimmyjane’s new Form 2

9 November 2009
I heard it was in development, I read the pre-press materials (and got inspired for a theory I have about designer sex toys), and still had no idea what Jimmyjane's Form 2 was going to be like. I mean, I saw a photo. They described it in text. Still, I […]

Consumer Reports on condoms

9 November 2009
Consumer Reports is such a tease. I've always wanted to be the host of a sex Mythbusters. Or host a "how things are made" show for sex. Or the host of a Consumer Reports for sex show. So when CR does anything about sex, I get all rosy-cheeked and excited. […]

in NYC: provocative “Journey” on sex trafficking

8 November 2009
Image by kargaltsev. This is something I'd really like to see: the large walk-through art installation "Journey" which opens in New York City next week, depicting the story of a woman sold into human trafficking for sex. Very much *not* the sexual slavery used in consensual fantasy between adults, but instead […]

the “hand of god” bra

7 November 2009
Maybe you saw this on Cherrybombed in late October -- or like me, you didn't. The "She's Mine" video is in Chinese, the "God's Hand" technology is made in Japan.... Or perhaps it's divine breatsial intervention. Either way, this ad for incredible new boob [technology] is hilare.

gratuitous sex research pr0n

4 November 2009
Image by Julia Skobeleva. When you're a sex educator, lecturer, researcher and all-around sex geek, data and research related to sexuality is its own pornography. I can never seem to get enough -- it's so fascinating, titillating, the information itself is totally irresistible. For a sex research perv like me, the […]

what a great way to go

29 October 2009
The matte black Death By Orgasm vibe is utterly adorable, silky-smooth, super-quiet and perfect for stimulation outside the body and especially with a partner (read: awesome clitoral vibe). The only catch is that it's from LoveHoney UK. which isn't really a catch unless you live here in the US and […]

keep vampires sexed up – or, the curious case of “the Mormon Anne Rice”

29 October 2009
Image of Dark Angels: A Collection of Lesbian Vampire Erotica (also: UK). Like superheroes are such significant icons for people who feel like they have to live with a secret (and so identify strongly with the double lives superheroes are forced to lead), vampires are strong cultural icons and their stories […]

28 October 2009
Image by Curtis Joe Walker for Deviant Nation. So many questions, and I have much concern about how they might be answered.... Yet this is not a total surprise to me, and I was wondering when this was going to come down. It used to be that the definition of obscenity […]

The Vampire Fleshlight (Vagina Dentata Fleshlighta)

28 October 2009
Because what the world really needed was a vampiric male masturbation sleeve -- with teeth (in time for a pre-Halloween blog blast, natch). Not that I'm judging the sex-with-a-vampire fantasy, I'm just pointing out the obvious here. And hey, it's branded with fetish pinup Masuimi Max, and impressively has very […]
