Jet Sex: Evading Censorious Internet At the Taipei International Airport

Violating Terms of Service a-go-go, I’m finally on my way back to the States after two weeks ‘overseas’ as I kept telling the few folks with my phone number who still managed a call. (N.B.: that one can get perfect cell service in the ruins of Angkor Wat cannot be over-emphasized.)
Let’s try some [...]

Rock Hard, Explosive, and Profitable: “The sexual performance perfection industry”

You know we can’t resist a good college paper’s de rigeur “sex issue,” especially one that claims to not be “a cliche sex issue” as “Baltimore’s top campus paper,” The Towerlight, does.
Taking sex culture to task is so the new how to have sex, and I can’t say that’s totally a bad thing, so [...]

Curbing Free Speech Online Is The Real ‘Harm to Minors’

Ding dong, the Child Online Protection Act is dead, and in no small part thanks to smart sex artists, writers, and bloggers. Heather Corinna, of the landmark young adult sexuality education website Scarleteen, was a plaintiff in the case, along with Salon and Nerve, making this not quite the “porn law” that it [...]

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

If this is where the future of American sex is being played out extra-curricularly, we take it as [...]

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 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 [...]

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 [...]
