Join me live in streaming video special to the Club of Amsterdam’s conference on The Future of Sexuality, Thursday November 29th, at 9:30am Pacific (18:30 CET). I’ll be discussing & taking questions on sexuality in the information age, from my new flat in San Francisco via Skype to wherever you may be. That [...]
One from the vaults, to keep you warm while Sexerati HQ moves. Bless you all, and thanks for a year of smart sex.
Taking for granted that you’ve got a computer, an Internet connection, and a desire to be a (little) sexxxy in (sort of) public (hey, you’re reading this), here’s my quickest, dirtiest tutorial on [...]
That? That was the shiver of agreeing with Valleywag for this tip: 2007’s standout flirting-for-nerds site iminlikewithyou, in trying to adopt web video’s hotness, has jumped its own rainbow-striped shark. Where the limited interface and smarts required to seduce well with it once drew out the best in commitment-free wit, the rapid-fire comments [...]
He was approved to use human subjects in his research, which is precisely what UMass Medical School’s Dr. Peter A. Rice claims to have been doing when he was arrested for soliciting an undercover police officer in Worcester, MA:
The author of more than 145 professional publications in the area of infectious and sexually transmitted diseases, [...]
Chinese state media (I know, reputable) report that condoms being recycled into hairbands are posing an HIV/AIDS transmission risk. Really?

Stigma, said sexuality & kink educator Graydancer, of one of the first sex podcasts, Ropecast, checking in from BlogWorldExpo.
Graydancer’s sum-up details how conversations he struck up with other bloggers were shyly broken off, how one of his models — previously down to be tied up for a performance at a conference party — declined at [...]
No, it doesn’t make you pathetic. Please. Even at our worst, Sexerati is just not that judgy.

And nor can I find satisfying answers even after a never-ending flood of questions. Scientific sluttery [...]
Who are our master porn experts? We’ve had classy theorists (and class favorites might be Laura Kipnis and Linda Williams), activist thinkers (two from the Libertarian camp alone being Nadine Strossen and Wendy McElroy), and not the least of which, porn star philosophers (Carol Queen, Annie Sprinkle, and Nina Hartley make a representative triumvirate).

The Morning After, an irregular roundup of the tabs lain open and neglected in Firefox after a week when fortune and folly took us. Enjoy, and don’t forget: the future of sex includes you, too.
Debauchette returns, with this on Gawker’s sex worker obsession of late:
The fact of the matter is that this kid, who’s [...]
Name that year, kiddos:
The area has sprouted computer-themed art galleries, a billiard hall and a Gold’s Gym, where former geeks can acquire new muscles to match their beefed-up social status. There is even “Gulch Gossip,” a column in a local computer magazine. Its author, who writes under the name Jonathan E., says, “My attitude is, [...]
