Wednesday Nibbles: One Night Stands, Why Celebs Make Porn, April Flores Kicked Off Facebook

* It’s a new month (already!) and Jiz Lee is raising money for the Femina Potens art gallery! Please consider contributing to a very important place for feminist porn, art and culture. You really have no idea how much Femina gives back to, and helps out the communities that intersect under this banner. (image via, jizlee.com)

* Esquire comes with all the usual caveats about dated gender sterotyping (as in ‘what women want’ in opposition to ‘what men want’) yet this article on one night stands based on new relationship stats is pretty interesting. (esquire.com)

* By now you may have heard that Lawrence Fishburne’s daughter is about to have a porn film come out from Vivid, and Larry is, well, hurt. It’s a telling sign of the times. Cory Silverberg asks “why is she doing porn?” and it’s one of the most interesting looks at the celebrity porn trend I’ve read yet. (sexuality.about.com)

* Dammit: the unwritten rules of online dating are still not written down. You can listen to them, however, and find out what they are in this interview with OkCupid’s co-founder Sam Yagan. (beta.wnyc.org)

* Dear Apple: I loved you! Please stop being hypocrites with your rules about sex in the app store! It’s killing me. Here’s a great article on Gizmodo with a crazy new story, How Apple’s App Store Censoring Process Works. (gizmodo.com)

* I have a big article forthcoming about Facebook and what happened with the Our Porn, Ourselves campaign page (and all the other sex-positive, non-mainstream people currently being kicked off such as April Flores), but here are a few press highlights I’ll be including:

* When It Comes To Women’s Issues, Facebook Still Hasn’t Figured Out How To Play Fair (jezebel.com)
* Facebook Censors Female Sexual Desire? (carnalnation.com)
* When your face doesn’t fit: Facebook censorship (liberalconspiracy.org)
* Cutting off your vagina to spite your Face(book) (psychologytoday.com)
