Net neutrality is a crucial thing, and many people are doing everything they can to spread awareness about this serious topic — keeping the internets deregulated is pretty much part of the survival of our species at this point as fas as I’m concerned. But some people are willing to give their “all” for net…

The Passion of the Fundamentalists
Image from Passion of A Goddess via Mormon Erotica (thanks Evil Signtist). On the Virgin America flight to NY I watched two great TED talks (here and here). And I was absolutely glued to the news as CNN rehashed the then-breaking news about the state of Texas keeping all the kids they yanked out of…
Around the bend and back
* Gawker blog i09 has a first peek at costuming of evil secretary Silken Floss (played by Scarlett Johansson, image via) for Frank Miller’s directorial debut, The Spirit — adapted from the 1940s newspaper comic. I’m not a Johansson fan, but I am a huge HUGE fan of Frank Miller’s everything, especially comics (hello, Dark…
Holy shit: John Stagliano indicted on 8 obscenity counts
Image from Fashionistas Safado; more images here. John Stagliano has long been a porn director of high regard for me — and a businessman I admire. His company, Evil Angel (named after a combo of former girlfriend plus his name as a male erotic performer), is unique among all other porn businesses. I wrote this…
More on sex + body image, Immodesty Blaize, other jiggly links worth considering
Image of sumptuous British burlesque dancer Immodesty Blaize by the also-stunning Loraine Ross. * Bombshell Betty comments on the Ugly Violet (trolls and female sexual self-image) column I wrote, and takes the discussion ever further with more sage advice in body love/hate — and don’t miss her excellent post How to look confident when you’re…
Quickies, the say it isn’t so version
Image of fierce babe Aprella, after seeing Yahoo’s new site for women, shot by the inimitable Kelly Lind. * Groan. Groan. GROAN (not the happy kind). And it’s not pink because…? Where’s the porn section? Is this where I learn about what two girls do together? Looks like a sportsbra to me. I did not…
Bits, bobs and bytes
Image by Michael Grieve. It’s been a bit since I’ve posted and a lot has, er, gone down in the blogosphere and newsland for sex related items. It’s been one of those weeks already: busy, dammit. Don’t worry, I’m over it — here are some links of note: * Photojournalist Michael Grieve spent six years…
Like I said, but now it’s news
Hitting the news today: Reuters Health reports on what I’ve been telling you about kids and sex ed — all of us front-line sex educators have been telling everyone — for years (from my Google Tech talk on abstinence education last month to 2006’s Open Source Sex podcast interview about working the SFSI hotlines)… ABC,…
Bored with sex scandals
Image via erofantasian. First, regarding my SF Chronicle column today — no, I don’t yet know why it didn’t go online until 9:30 am today, why it’s not on the front page as it always is (even though my interview with Phil Bronstein about it *is* on the front page), and why I’m not in…
it’s only a sex scandal if you’re scandalized by sex
Image by Marc Lagrange via Gala Darling. Eloquent reader R sent me a link to what I think is one of the best, most relevant and inspiring pieces of sex writing I’ve seen yet: Against Sexual Scandal by Lauren Berlant. It should be read far and wide; it’s not longer than a page but gets…
