I'm not sure the Election Protection line of condoms now being sold at Condomania will help with election dysfunction. Or maybe they will. They also have ones with Nixon on them which puts a whole new meaning to the concept of "Watergate", and the store kindly offers both Republican and […]

sex and drugs, and misleading CNN article titles

25 July 2008
Image via Inkman. Cafe lattes should be frothy, not sex educators. But when I was cruising my Google News feeds and came across the CNN article Ladies: 5 ways to get your sex life going, I clicked it, felt instantly like a total dope for giving them my click, and became […]

I've had the extreme, distinct pleasure of working with erotic writing luminary M. Christian for many years, and I can even call him a longtime friend as well as colleague.
