how to blow up your genitals

27 May 2008
Apparently, it is as easy as dropping a lit match on your bits after you have slathered them in silicone based lube. Reader Patrick sends me the links to Ask Garnet's short and firey lit-match-to-lube experiment. Don't worry, in the video the lube is a safe distance from any dangly […]

crushed out on katie west

25 May 2008
Images of Katie West courtesy of Katie West (thank you!) It's time I introduced you to one of the more consistently delightful contacts via my Flickr account: Katie West. She's somewhat recently gone through the mill with Flickr's yet-to-be clearly defined content rating system, and her whole account has been forcibly […]

living online

25 May 2008
Image of Vivian De Milo by Psychedelic*Panda, whose Flickr account is sadly censored to non-members but whose photographer profile lives here. Being a woman who documents her life here is a source of power. Don't ever let anyone make you think otherwise. I'm finding that some of my closest female friends as […]

why ariel waldman’s twitter harassment is a serious call to social networking sites about stalkers

23 May 2008
Ariel under the mistletoe, my house NYE 2008; photo by our friend Scott Beale / Laughing Squid. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly urge you to read Ariel Waldman's incredibly brave (and chilling) post, Twitter refuses to uphold Terms of Service. It's being posted everywhere from Vivane's Sex Carnival […]

a minute of keeping up with the lara jade story

23 May 2008
It was almost exactly a year ago when I wrote for the Chronicle about Lara Jade, whose image had been used without her permission for a porn boxcover -- and all the twisted, fucked up turns the story took. When I wrote the piece I actually got the guy […]

22 May 2008
Image by Pedro Meyer via the things i see. In this week's SF Chronicle column I ask some of our lovely, articulate local sex workers about the sex work market here in the Bay Area -- specifically about their clients. What typifies a San Francisco "John"? Turns out, our local sex […]

sex educator ducky doolittle

21 May 2008
Current TV has a great profile recently up about my friend and sex ed colleague Ducky Doolittle. (Too bad they don't link to her site.) I've known Ducky for several years now and I've even crashed one of her fabulous workshops; she's a hardworking East Coast educator and has a […]

20 May 2008
Yaaay! After 21 years of partnership (!ZOMFG!), George Takei is getting gay married! He announced it last week in a powerful blog post referencing his childhood in US forced Japanese internment camps, and saying about his fiancee, "He is my love and I can't imagine life without him." Here's a […]

kids are like DUH we know what oral sex is

20 May 2008
From Reuters, more anti-abstinence education ammo. Plus, does anyone know where the oral sex for virginity teen myth originated? Was it some kind of Dr. Drew or Dr. Phil brainfart, like when Drew tells people that he has no idea why women might like anal sex? Hell, I can give […]

porn thoughtcrimes

19 May 2008
A number of people have sent me links to this news item throughout today. I had to run to another one of these meetings (which was actually way funner than Kelly's video) so I'm only getting to blog this now. Which is good because in the meantime, Jacob Sullum at […]

pssst! wanna see the armory!?

17 May 2008
Photo of the Drill Court @ SFArmory.com. Like me, many people grew up in San Francisco seeing The Armory only from the outside, always wondering what it looks like in there. I got lucky and Kink.com has let me in the doors a few times -- but today if you want […]

16 May 2008
Image: finally a nice set by Richard Kern. A lot of nice, although rather thin, brunettes landed in my inbox today -- and Richard Kern is taking some good photos again, finally. The last several galleries from him almost made me give up. Kern gives us bad lingerie, but a fun […]

bad questions to ask a transsexual: the director’s cut

15 May 2008
This has to be one of my all-time favorite videos. Today Calpernia Addams posted Bad Questions to Ask a Transsexual: The Director's Cut. She is hilarious, pissed off, sharp, on the money, off the hook and totally fucking fierce. My favorite is, of course, #4. Having trans women as my […]
