Transvestism, sadomasochism and fetishism are not going to be officially considered diseases in Finland for much longer. The National Institute for Health and Welfare is removing them from Finland's lists of diseases because there is no proper medical basis for classifying them as such. Sadomasochism No Longer a Disease (YLE Uutiset, via Charlie Glickman) Today, former porn actress Jennifer Ketcham (nee Penny Flame) explores the post-nonapoc...

Brilliant idea? Check. Dildo Of The Day is like Woot! for sex toys, and I love it. I thought at first glance that it was a “Groupon” for sex toys, but it’s better than that. I’ve always disliked that model: the “Groupon” scheme means they need a big buy-in from a number of people (where said people give up their contact info to marketing departments for a chance to get a deal), and you’re always wonderin...

It’s here!!! Apple-approved and ready to Get Total Flirt app for iPhone now in the Apple iTunes store for $0.99. The kitteh jumped out of the bag when media mistress Rachel Kramer Bussel got to it before I even had a chance to announce it – and she gave it an outstanding review: I highly, highly recommend Violet Blue's new Total Flirt app. (…) Yes, I know Violet, am friends with her and have worked with her, but I would have bo...

On April 28, my contact at NetGeo emailed me with previews of their channel’s upcoming “Taboo” episodes – and many of them are about sex and fetishes. I was excited, as I’m longtime friends with an Emmy award winning NatGeo director, and I’ve come to expect quality and respect for any topic their teams take on. I was astonished to see that this was not the case with their “Sex Addiction” episode o...

The research has been out there for awhile, but the suggestive numbers just keep getting stronger: there’s evidence that as access to the internet increases in the US population, rape rates fall. (Dr. Faustus blogged about this, and about a Salon article discussing the same research paper as today’s story, back in 2009, as did I when the research was new, back in 2006.) An attractive theory that might explain this is that access to ...

Violet Blue found this, and blogged it good. It’s awesome, but I haven’t got any value-added. So, I’m just sending you her way for the, erm, payload: The Blowjob Game – Konashion — Super Deepthroat (at Tiny Nibbles) View this post in its original location at ErosBlog: The Sex Blog.

What do horse riding, archery, and foreplay with your wife have in common? According to Sexual Etiquette in Islam, they are the only three non-futile games: Islam greatly stresses the importance of foreplay, as indicated by the traditions below. It is narrated from the Prophet (s): "Do not engage in sexual intercourse with your wife like hens; rather, firstly engage in foreplay with your wife and flirt with her and then make love to her."[41] I...

A recent post on Jezebel offers a useful summary of basic information about the practice of pegging. Just try not to be drawn into the pit of batshit craziness in the comment section.

Way back in 2002 when I started this sex blog, I imagined that many of my posts might point to online news stories about sex. There weren’t so many sex blogs back then, and online writing about sex from “mainstream” journalists was still rare enough to be notable. What I quickly discovered, though, was that these stories were generally crap, especially when they pretended, badly, to be based on “the latest research”...

I was just browsing the superlative work on thedirtystory‘s blog (he’s a contributor at my favorite group erotic photo blog FLNGS), and I happened to see the post Foot Provocateur (image via). The “Provocateur” reference is to the lingerie maker, Agent Provocateur. I recognized the outfit immediately, if only because it is the only AP set I own – it was a gift. A cherished gift. I wore it for the first time last wee...

From Mind Hacks via Violet Blue comes word of a recent study indicating that women use sex noises tactically to influence the timing of (which is to say, speed up) male orgasm. This manoeuvring of male behavior not only ensures the delivery of his ejaculate, but may also serve to end male copulatory effort under circumstances when the female is, for example, suffering discomfort or pain, boredom, fatigue, or simply does not have enough time fo...
