My sympathy goes out to French first lady Carla Bruni, whose 1996 appearance on a talk show has come back to haunt her via YouTube. Yes, that’s right — she had a fun time on television 14 years ago, joking about hooking up in different countries and reading pick-up lines in multiple languages.
How that moment [...]

May 24th, 2010 · 4 Comments
This Washington Post article raises some interesting questions about the role of pharmaceuticals in sexuality:
FDA considers endorsement of drug that some call a Viagra for women
A German pharmaceutical giant wants to sell a drug with the decidedly unsexy name “flibanserin,” which has shown prowess for sparking a woman’s sexual desire by fiddling with her brain [...]

Toy Review (NSFW): Body Heat Vibrator from Pipedream
May 22nd, 2010 · Comments Off
Let me start by saying that the heat functionality makes up for a lot in this new vibrator from Pipedream Products. But it doesn’t make it worth $160 to $300 retail. Maybe $80, and definitely $60. But not $300.
Click here to see all the stats from the manufacturer.

Privacy on Facebook? Did I miss something?
May 13th, 2010 · 6 Comments
I’ve seen a lot of commentary lately about Facebook and privacy, mostly to the effect of “ack Facebook isn’t keeping my private information private.”
I resisted Facebook for a long time, as I was going on sabbatical when it started to get big among adults, so maybe I missed something in the beginning. Was there an [...]

Coming soon? A Nordic view of sex education
May 12th, 2010 · Comments Off
Carnal Nation reports that people in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway love the idea of group sex, public sex, and sex with a friend. Whether they actually enact these fantasies, the article doesn’t say. I’m going to guess that the Swedish and the Finnish don’t, as almost a third of them reported that they weren’t [...]

What Star Wars taught a generation about love
May 4th, 2010 · Comments Off
Embarrassed as I am to learn from a women’s magazine that a) there is a Star Wars day and b) it is today (may the fourth be with you), I thought I’d pass on this fun little piece from Your Tango.
10 Things Star Wars Taught Us About Love

Slave Princess Leia car wash only raised $1,000?
May 4th, 2010 · Comments Off
Maybe there just aren’t enough geeks in Los Angeles? Or maybe even a flock of bikini-clad Leias can only wash so many cars.
Either way, the charity event raised $1,000 for Make-A-Wish by granting a wish made in many a nerdy heart. And by including Darth Vader, some ewoks, a Han or two, and a few [...]
