Image (taken last month in San Francisco) by Curtis Joe Walker. I love sex apps; I’m armed with an Android (and am strongly considering working with MiKandi (mikandi.com) on a VB-branded sex-positive Android app). Also, I really enjoy the writing of TechCrunch’s MG Siegler; I look forward to his and Paul Carr‘s posts because they’re…

A nonsex minute: Think about homeless youth for the holidays
As many longtime readers know, I was a homeless adolescent (13-17, roughly). This past year I have done a lot of public advocacy on this topic, and have done some very intense public speaking in an effort to engender understanding around the issues kids face on the streets. It hasn’t been easy; the last time…
Sexbot and android developments
Image (of a sex doll and real feline) by Stacy Leigh. Led by the fantastic h+ Magazine article, Sexbots Will Give Us Longevity Orgasm by Hank Hyena (hplusmagazine.com), I went mousing off on a tangent to find that right now a chain of department stores in Japan are taking holiday orders for life-sized ‘doppelganger’ androids.…
Gender genetics and sexual orientation evolution
Image by Nathan Appel. Two articles, one about male and female genes battling for domination as an ongoing life-long struggle, and one on asexuality as the fourth sexual orientation really caught my eye. I apologize that I can’t remember where I found them (the via), but since I can’t get them out of my head…
Eon McKai wants to see you naked
My close friend Eon wants to see you naked in your own house. Sorta like Merkley??? always does but possibly less crazy. (It took me two full days to put my house back together after modeling for Merkely???) Eon’s inspired by the video he shot (above) and wants to do some cool new project and…
A visit to the Musée de l’Erotisme in Paris
Two days ago, after GaryVee and I frightened the horses and fluffed the trolls at LeWeb (it’s now clear we two were the most controversial speakers), dotBen and I finally got out to do some quick sightseeing in Paris. He had worked two 10+ hour days in a row running the second stage, and I…
Kink Your Kindle: Best sex books of 2009!
Image by Arslan Truelove (also). This week’s column was such a pleasure to put together; since I’ve edited erotic anthologies for nearly ten years, I love, love, love sex books. The end-of-year posts are always a treat because I get to re-experience my encounters with various media; put the two together and you’ve got my…
Behind the Leweb talk: 24 hours later
Image by Blogowski. The reactions to this talk are the weirdest I’ve encountered in my many years of talking about sex at tech conferences (incl. SXSW, ETech, Forbes Internet Leadership Conference). Women loved it; all the feedback and backchannel chat from women has been excited and positive. And there’s been a lot of it, like…
Free livestream show from Kink’s Upper Floor
Image by Richard Kadrey/Kaos Beauty Klinik. This is a Tiny Nibbles PSA: I felt it was my duty to tell you about Kink‘s free livestreamed show tomorrow (December 10) from their Upper Floor. At the Armory, there will be an elaborate scene enacted live in the decadent quarters constructed on the top floor and broadcast…
The view from Paris [podcast]
Image taken with my Android (Moment) with FX Camera and FlickrDroid. A special edition: live from Paris! In this quickie, I read “The View From Paris” from Alison Tyler‘s collection, “Exposed” — this afternoon, from the garden next to the Louvre. The image in this post is my view; the Eiffel Tower behind a statue…
