There's a lot of sex worker stuff in the news lately, isn't there?So yes, I've been reading about the busts at the tanning salon/brothels on Aurora Ave. I have some sympathy for the female manager who got arrested, seeing as how I once managed a "sensual touch" business myself. And just because you read something in the paper doesn't make it true. However, if she and the owner really were running women in and out of other states, through three di...

Alexis Silver remembered how SCORE found her in the UK, in this month's interview. "Well, it was about five years ago, I think, so I would've been 23. I was lap dancing at the time, and the guys were like, 'Oh, you should do Page 3,' which in the UK is the tabloid newspapers, and on the third page they have pictures of topless girls. So I contacted a studio in Leeds and said, 'I want to do some glamour modeling.' As it turned out, I ...

I’ve been inspired lately and I’ve been reading a lot of articles and blogs about porn. The first thing that I have to say is that many of them seem to be written by people with very little actual information about the industry. I’ve been with Good Vibrations for 12 years now, and I’ve learned quite a bit about the porn world, so I can say with some authority that it’s much more complex than most of the portrayals of...

Image by Eros Arts. What does the Traditional Values Coalition have to do with the government’s funding and scientific studies about research on human sexuality and the science of sex? Well, *nothing*. Yet, sexual anything stays muzzled (or bound, if you will) thanks to… ideology. But read this great piece Scientists see political attacks as badge of pride, at Ars Technica to see the connections: The use of science by politicians hop...

Well, it seems you can take the actor out of the porn comedy, but you can't take the porn comedy out of the actor—"Zack and Miri Make a Porno" star Seth Rogen is looking to develop a series for Showtime about a group of buddies who work in a porn shop. So like, "The Office," only with porn? (variety.com, via nerve.com)

Here's a Kelly Kay story. Kelly was shopping for clothes in Liverpool, her home town. The salesgirl at one store was fascinated by the size of Kelly's tits. She was tiny-busted herself, and she asked Kelly a bunch of questions about how Kelly feels about her tits. she asked her questions like "does she like them?", "how big are they?" and "when did they get so big?" Sounds like the stuff guys would ask Kelly. Kelly said she felt that...

Before the action begins, Kayla talks to a SCORE editor about her Florida hair salon, 'Beach Babies'. Kayla is a lap dancer, model and football groupie with a cosmetologist's license. She's been with SCORE a long time but always turned down offers to do hardcore. Then she finally caved. The editor sticks around when the stunt-cock comes in and though we don't see a face, that laughable growling can only mean one thing. Nick Manning is...

A Recent EmailSUBJECT LINE: Hi, would like appointment and/or other infoI just wanted to know how to get started in this profession in a safe way. I figured group sessions were my best bet but I just don't know where to go or who to talk to about it. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. I know I could get a lot out of this line of work and I don't mean a lot of money. I have fantasies that I want to act on but I know they could cost me a lot in...

Another Disney scandal hits the Net! This time “the victim” is Adrienne Bailon, the eldest member of the singing group The Cheetah Girls. She is also known for dating Rob Kardashian, Kim’s brother. Apparently her laptop (with nude pictures inside) was stolen at JFK airport. These pictures were taken (as a present) for her boyfriend. But, somehow they’ve hit the Net! And they hit it hard! No wonder because you don’t h...

I know that I’ve been writing a lot about Proposition 8 lately, but I keep having new thoughts come up. Anyway, it seems to me that the folks who pushed for prop 8 were doing their best to instill a moral panic. Moral panics occur when a large group of people see a group, event or condition as a threat to the social order. They are sometimes based on a certain amount of truth, while at other times, they can be entirely imaginary. But becaus...

Now that we all have digital cameras or webcams or iPhones or some sort of photo device that doesn't require third party processing, pretty much everyone out there has taken a photo or video of themselves en flagrante delicto—even celebrities (they're just like us!). The difference, of course, is that when your sex tape (or our sex tape) goes public, it really only matters to an audience of tens—as opposed to the tens of thousands (or...

Our Twitter followers are an outstanding group of sex educators, toy reviewers, erotica writers, sex-positive people from all walks of life. Yesterday we held a random Twitter Poll to find out… “What’s your current favorite sex toy”. Stay tuned (and follow us) for future polls, in the meantime, here’s what they had to say: “The LELO Gigi when I know where the charger is.” “My favorite sex toy is the...
