Sex in translation: do the editors realize what this says?

April 30th, 2008 · Comments Off

And you think America is sex-negative?

April 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment

As one friend says: “I’ve reread it three times, and really want to never have known that people were that fucked up.”
I keep starting and then deleting lists of what’s wrong with this story, because it’s too much to type, and besides, you can see it for yourself. I find myself hoping against hope that [...]

Nothing sexier than a hot mama, so why is this MILF promo icky?

April 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Motherhood is beautiful and moms are sexy. (Mine’s a dead ringer for Sophia Loren!) And yet, this promotion associating MILF porn with Mother’s Day gives me the willies.

How I know it’s time to think outside of sex-tech

April 14th, 2008 · 2 Comments

When I see a headline like Teen Creates Chemistry Trading Card Game and immediately think “Oh, that must be cards you hand out to people you feel attracted to,” I know it’s time to get my head out of the sex-tech beat and read some other content for a change.
Good thing I have a day [...]

I’m not addicted. I can stop at any time.

April 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments

There was a time when I spent not just all my working hours but almost all of my social hours online. (Not that there was much difference. I have hardly ever socialized online without working, even if just a little bit, on some story in another window.)
Then, eventually, that changed. I — and many of [...]

April 10th, 2008 · Comments Off

Thank FSM for qDot, eh?
Here’s his extensive breakdown of the new Interactive Fleshlight; now that Wired doesn’t want me to review sex gadgets in Sex Drive, I’m happy that qDot is keeping up with things. He’s also much funnier and techier than I am — silly me, I’d have talked about how it feels to [...]

Hey, is that kink all over your screen?

April 9th, 2008 · Comments Off

Right after I mentioned Kink.com in my last post, Thomas Roche sent me a press release announcing that Kink.com has redone all its photo galleries so you can view ‘em all fancy shmancy — full screen, pan, zoom, etc — with the PicLens plugin.
The PicLens plugin, which transforms photo browsing into a tactile, three-dimensional experience [...]

Yeah right the panel doesn’t know what ‘bdsm’ means

April 9th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Interesting blip about a man in Vancouver who was denied a permit for a job because — somehow — the police know he is kinky.

Panel may rule if sex practices protected

An appeals court rejected a bid by Vancouver police on Tuesday to block a hearing on whether Peter Hayes’ rights were violated when an officer [...]
