Image “Corpse Bride” by Mia Oliver, which should probably be in the Brides of Second Life pool. Please see this post for background and details! I’m working on an exciting project that currently has me needing to pick the brains of strangers, and ask for quotes (anonymous or otherwise, it’s up to you). I’m slowly…

Bad behavior in the blogosphere
This isn’t directly sex related, and yet it is. It seems that ad company Etology is doing a dishonest, bait and switch email campaign to hook sex bloggers, and Bacchus at Eros Blog totally busted them on it. And in return, they offered a non-apology apology. After reading that post this morning, I’ve been poking…
Hump day porn break: Fleshbot’s reader requests
Image by Chase Lisbon for Supercult. My collegue has been toiling away in the porn mines ever since she put up this post asking readers what they *really* want to see. And for that I salute her in the most salacious of ways — one of my pet peeves about the porn biz is that…
Is Australia leading the way in teen sex ed?
Image of sex ed gone wrong (and possible disemvowelment) via clarie.whithard. Reader Helen sends me this very interesting article about an exciting new sex ed program in Australian schools; I’d love to make something like this happen in our schools. Snip from Program offers new take on sex education: (…) Many young people have been…
[Video] The Axe Detailer Shower Tool
Calling the robo-babes in Axe’s newest commercial ‘technosexual females’ is quite fitting; I always find the Axe commercials quite playful and fun, and a full-service boy-wash with female mechanical parts is a cute way to sell products. Yes, I too am dirty. Found on Ad Punch, via Elegant Lines.
BBC News gets a right royal spanking
Image via darkbeans. I also found this cute vintage spanking collection. So it looks like BBC News decided to follow in Guardian UK’s recent BDSM-y text-steps and attempts to report on the Max Mosley lawsuit, whilst explaining BDSM to the masses — and manages to mangle the piece nicely with sensationalism and prudery to an…
Elvis Costello’s ‘Monkey to Man’
MTV Music Videos MTV Shows Entertainment News Elvis Costello = still hot. Especially with his recent music video Monkey to Man, which is just full of bouncing babes in retro bikinis! And I mean bouncing — there are some seriously Russ Meyer camera angles in this video… and it’s super extra double plus fun. Not…
Pretty girl Friday, after midnight
Image by inmymind. This post is graced by the startlingly beautiful images of Russian photographer imnymind (I don’t speak or read Russian so if anyone wants to tell me their name, fabulous!). He has more here; all links are hi-res so check your speed before poking around… I also have a wee handful of lovelies…
This is not your pretty girl Friday
Nor is this your anatomically correct porn fantasy: it’s the work of artist Alex Sandwell Kliszynski, who endeavors to explore the human-doll porn composite. (Note that I did not say mashup. Point for me.) His gallery is here. According to my friends at Sex and Blogs, his My Luxuria collections is part of the exhibition…
This week’s web scandal brought to you by Jezebel
It also happens to be about sex. Because, you know, only stupid girls get raped. I’m pretty floored by this one; check out Jezebelism, and then see how college blogs are reacting (“Jezebel Writers Too Smart To Be Raped”) to seeing two Jezebel bloggers go on Lizz Winstead’s show, get drunk and joke about how…
