1 piece of BRILLIANCE put forth by a DARING and DELIGHTFUL reader

  • Radiation shield boxers: While harm from cell-phone rays has so far been lacking sufficient scientific proof, a US firm wants men to take no chances with radiation. Boxer shorts made with the use of thin silver textile “absorb radiation” will help “protect men’s reproductive organs and maintain fertility health,” according to their producer, Manhattan-based Belly Armor company.

  • News outlets were quick to cover the launch of Titcoin, because it’s good fun and good click-bait to put porn and tech trends together. But what, then, has Titcoin done to be adult-industry friendly, other than insert ‘Tit’ into its name?

  • Porn tube sites now run the adult industry. Founded in 2007 by Canadians Stephane Manos and Ouissam Youssef, MindGeek (formerly known as Manwin and Mansef) has over 100 million daily visitors and is one of the top 10 consumers of bandwidth; some reports have them in the top three. They operate nearly a hundred websites that in total consume more bandwidth than Twitter, Amazon, or Facebook.

  • A Taiwanese company is taking social networks and teledildonics all the way (finally!) with the beta launch of its tasteful new social network, LovePalz Club. Intended to be paired with the LovePalz Twist (a sex toy with male and female versions that retail for $89 and $79 respectively), it makes use of Bluetooth to connect devices through a cloud server. Once coupled with another Twist, you can control the speed, pattern, and pressure of the vibrations felt by your partner.

  • Miami-Dade (Florida) County’s sex offender residency law and housing restrictions are some of the tightest in the country. The ACLU is now challenging that law, and the way it’s been enforced in Miami, with a lawsuit filed Thursday on behalf of the sex offenders.

  • The absolutism of the fight against vanilla sex (it’s never just like “have fun with it!”) suggests a total lack of awareness re: the actualities of the kink community.

  • Ebola and sex: it is transmitted through bodily fluids, but only after a patient begins showing symptoms, experts say. Even though sex involves a high level of bodily fluid exchange — including semen, saliva and sweat — most experts say it isn’t risky if a person is not showing initial flu-like symptoms of the virus such as a high fever, body aches and vomiting or diarrhea.
