Look! Condoms!

Apparently, unlike BlogHer, there’s no condom vendors at South by Southwest for Nick Douglas (nee: Valleywag, whose launch we blogged once-upon-a-time, now lost to the mists of dead servers) to whore himself out to for a sponsorship at his video blog, Look! Shiny!.

We Are The Sex Media: Back to School Edition

Of all the ways one could attempt to recapture one’s college days, keeping up on undergraduate student newspapers’ sex coverage is right up there (either that, or discussing post-coitally where Baudrillard meets Buffy, take your pick). If this is where the future of American sex is being played out extra-curricularly, we take it as [...]

HOWTO: Put A Condom On (A Pretty Wooden Dildo)

(Created by Sex Out Loud, a University of Wisconsin-Madison student group, found via The Isthmus Daily Page.)

Degree Fetishism: The ‘Times’ Does College Sex Magazines

Sunday’s New York Times magazine goes for deep coverage on college sex magazines, but not without playing the “educated elite” (their words, too) want their sex all classy-like bit to the hilt, with breezy and vaguely creepy extended profiles of the publishers of BOINK and H BOMB (Boston and Harvard University, respectively).

Takeaway: as long [...]

The Future of Getting Sex Done

What’s worse than letting the workaday world get in the way of making time for sex? Letting the ways we manage our sex lives take more of our time than time spent having sex.
This week’s Future of Sex (appropriately, this week’s late Future of Sex) offers up a few simple suggestions for how to best [...]

The Chronicle, All Up In Our Emerging Tech Business

There’s few things I can thank the San Francisco Chronicle for when it comes to increasing the value of the luxe side of my love life. The same could be said for O’Reilly Publishing, copyright-holder apparent to such things 2.0 — just no Sex Hacks there, and not too likely to extend Sexerati [...]

Tuesday Tab Orgy

Filing my weekend sex web reading, or, loading up your Firefox tabs so you don’t have to:
San Francisco sex-positive and community development activists are all over the evolving tale of Kink.com’s controversial purchase of the San Francisco Armory. Here’s the deal told from the inside, in features by Stephen Elliot at Salon, and an [...]

We Have the Internet to Rebuild Us: Why Our Generation Does it Better in Public

There’s so much to return to and do a (as my favorite sex profs said in University) deep reading of in this feature from this week’s New York magazine, Kids, the Internet, and the End of Privacy — which so touches (in all the right ways) on the sex & the internet zeitgeist we’ve been [...]

Stephen Colbert vs. Female Chauvinist Pigs

How, how, how did I miss Ariel Levy on The Colbert Report?
(That’s right — by just getting my teevee from the Internet.)

Remember, kids: the reason that women are losing the war on sex? Because strippers hate our freedom.

Sexerati Interviews: Gina de Vries

Gina de Vries is a queer writer from San Francisco, but in true bicoastal perversion, we met back East when we were both calling the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts ‘home’ and making trouble in its woods, cafes, and dorms. At the time, she was co-editing, with Diane Anderson-Minshall, [Becoming]: young ideas on gender, identity, [...]
