Many people will recognize Nobuyoshi Araki’s name as the photographer behind the iconic book Tokyo Lucky Hole, an artistic work that exploded (then-modern) Japanese imaginings about Tokyo sex work, hedonism, sex art and sexuality into Western consciousness in a way that changed a lot of us forever. Thank you, Taschen. Araki is still making art.…

Now That’s How To Sit In A Ghost Chair (Richard Bernardin)
Photo of the proper way to sit in a Ghost Chair by Richard Bernardin – more exquisiteness can be found when you go to his site, click Print, then click Exhibits. His videos are great, but his site (Flash) offers no way to control the video player. Instead, I found his best (IMO) Royal York,…
[Video] Shot and Edited Entirely on iPhone 4: Erotic Pole Dance
I know it’s time for Spring 2011 collections, but somehow I missed this the first time around. For designer Beatrix Ong’s Winter 2010 collection, Director Mark Jubber of BAMN shot and edited this film entirely on his iPhone 4. It’s not explicit, but it is highly erotic so I think it’s worth your eyes; it…

Tristan Taormino, Ann Coulter, And The Disgrace Of Oregon State University
Fun fact: what do Ann Coulter and Tristan Taormino have in common? They were both invited to be speakers at Oregon State University. Except while Coulter told Oregon State University on November 19, 2001 that liberals were responsible for 9/11 and “all Middle Easterners are camel riding nomads,” this week OSU decided that paying Taormino…

Babeland’s Fantastic “Pick Your Valentine’s Day Adventure Guide”
I have a great relationship with women-run sex toy retailer Babeland – they sponsor me, and never hesitate to jump into sex-positive activism with me. They even sent my cat a holiday gift (here’s video of Alex vs. the catnip banana)! I just discovered their pick-your-own-adventure Valentine’s Day Romantic Gift Guide – and I think…

Don’t Believe The Hype: Playboy Uncensored iPad App? Wrong.
Just posted on ZDNet, my reaction to mainstream media reporting that there will be a Playboy app in the Apple App Store. A short article, full of layered references and barbs I think will make you smile: Typical. Steve Jobs takes his liver on vacation and all hell breaks loose. The Apple CEO and notorious…
