Meeting porn performers in real life is dodgy. It can be lame, sad, scary, exciting and awe-inspiring, arousing, fierce and inspiring, a curiosity of plastic surgery disaster… any number of experiences. Like meeting anyone who does a lot of on-camera work, it’s seldom what you think it will be. So when I was at the most recent Art of Restraint event at Femina Potens, I met one of Kink‘s male stars Jack Hammer. And I have to say...

Today Apple launched their new music social network Ping (basically a clone of Last.fm), and in Apple's promotional image for the new feature, they very obviously removed a thread of Tweets from Lady Gaga's timeline where she clearly spoke out celebrating being pro-gay, about California’s anti-gay marriage legislation, Prop 8. Seriously. Apple, we see you. ::pause for the scream of WTF on loop in my head thinking about my gay friends who w...

If you’re tired of me being agitated about the proposed .XXX domain extension, then you can skip this post (and know that when the ICANN comment period is over this month I will stop bugging you to use this text to email ICANN to tell them that .XXX = OMGWTFBBQ). But I do want to say a big *thank you* to the people who have sent in emails with me! That said, I got a ping last night from the people who set up the nifty website Dot-XXX Oppos...

Model Karmen from I Shot Myself * Star Wars speed dating. Yes, it’s real. In case you *needed* an excuse to douse yourself in Slave Leia Perfume or Eau de Lando cologne. (abcnews.go.com, techyum.com) * The comments are mean on Discovery’s article about a Japanese vacation resort offering a destination for men with virtual girlfriends, but the article itself is really interesting. Guys whose girlfriends are LovePlus sims can take ...

Looking over last weekend’s photos from this year’s Bubble Baba Challenge, the world’s only annual blow-up doll whitewater rafting race (in Russia), I really want to go, and enter the competition! It looks like so much fun. My pal Kumi sent me this post-race article in the St. Petersburg Times Inflatable Sex Toy Challenge Attracts Over 450 and I’ve since been totally entertained looking through the official site (in Russi...

For some reason in my usual obsessive online erotic coolhunting rounds this past weekend, I cam across a number of really strange but highly entertaining videos. They kind of defy description, but have a “weird movie night” feel to them which I quite enjoy. We begin with the above fake ad for Bukakke Milk. Below is a vintage clip from an all-girl topless band The Ladybirds, from 1966. Dangerous Minds has a great post about them here ...

I wrote this up last night on my tech blog Techyum in Comment Period Now Open on .XXX ? Make Your Voice Heard, in part because I wanted to give people a linking option if they did not want to visit a NSFW website to get the info. In short, a few men with no ties to adult business or family groups have been trying for ten years to get ICANN to add .XXX to the selection of domain options ? and they are already selling pre-registration at high pric...

This stellar article from my dear friend Midori is right in line with the aesthetic I see increasingly expressed by the hundreds of thousands of people who visit this blog regularly. It’s what I call a “Whole Foods attitude” we’re all cultivating about porn, sex toys, and figuring out good ways we can live our lives as sexual citizens of the world. I love it! Here’s a snip: (…) Below you’ll find some ide...

These are hilarious and horrifying, and some may even feel strangely familiar. Jezebel asked readers what their worst masturbation nightmare stories were, and people responded with true tales that are impossible to stop reading once you’ve started. Most of The 10 Worst Masturbation Stories We’ve Ever Heard are from women: woe is the Ken doll. Although, one of them (#5) is really troubling… Snip: 10. Ken This is mortifying. I st...

Yes, you read that title correctly, and no it’s not The Onion spoofing anyone: via the Meeting Boy Tumblr, I found Want a raise? Wash your vagina (dailykos.com). In a post today, Daily Koz’s dhonig points out that one of the nation’s top-read conservative women’s magazines Woman’s Day is running a large ad from Summer’s Eve that combines advertising and editorial, telling women “how to ask for a raise...

I’m sorry Tron fans; and no, this item is nowhere near as hot as Olivia Wilde in her Tron Legacy costume. But I have to show you the Tron-a Sutra (wonderhowto.com, via Our Kitchen Sink). They shot 20 positions plus a video (sadly not embeddable; yes I know this non-sharing tactic is the mark of cheap linkbait but damn the video is pretty awesome).

Jasmine at Girls Out West: vibrator Samurai With the globally enforced utensil embargo on Australia, Jasmine at Girls Out West (gallery) must combat the threat of starvation with only the crudest of tools at hand. Girls down under sure are fierce. (Alt: vibrators and melons may satisfy, but cleanup is a pain in the arse.)

The InDecent Bed No one enjoys seeing Brits being scandalized and spilling their tea to shriek “but that would be indecent!” more than me. But with this one, I’m actually having to squint to see what’s indecent. Today the British InDecent Bed launched to the tune of £50,000; perhaps it’s truly indecent to our refined UK friends — especially as compared to the Folsom Bed and Dungeon Beds scandalous designs....
