Good Morning, Darlings, with “Jet SeT Sex”

Sexerati is about to lift off from dazzlingly grey Los Angeles, but is at present still so nestled into a hotel on the Sunset Strip — which just can’t not evoke memories of dirty once-goth rock. Evidence of the shared zeitgeist? None other than My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult have logged this promo [...]

Design for Jet Sex: Jimmyjane + Tank Girl Artist

Envisaged as haut pervere for the globetrotting club set, Jimmyjane’s beautiful but improbably lithe classic has been given a cartoony facelift by Tank Girl and Gorillaz concept artist Jamie Hewlett in their new ULTIMATE MEMBERS line. Yes, it’s stunning, and a fashion-forward concept, very international media convergence, to merge jet set + jet sex. Will [...]

Sexerati: Cambodia > Arrival, Going It Alone

Back from two weeks in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, Melissa reports in on the state of sex culture in one of the world’s most significant and significantly maligned political and sexual economies: Cambodia’s sex industry.

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 sex [...]

HOW TO (Jet Sex Edition): Share a Lover

Once you begin to move in the jet sex world with slutty confidence, more fitting partners may cross your path than you have time to take as lovers, or, oh so more realistically, the lovers you have time to enjoy may not be so enjoyable after a time. Needless to say, sexual experience means that [...]

Jet Sex: Condoms in Taipei

Changing planes in Taipei, I fell in design love with this condom display in the very front entrance of the airport pharmacy. I selected a box (of twelve, thanks for asking) to bring home for field testing. After a brief moment of consumer panic — that I had unwittingly chosen some lubricated with nonoxynol-9 — [...]

JET SEX (COUNTERPOINT): WHAT KIND OF DISTANCE, REALLY?

NYC-based artist and writer Irene Kaoru joined Lux and I over this past weekend in New York, storming fancy hotel suites with her camera and offering wine to lubricate our conversations on awkward sex. She offers this contribution based on our bathtub chats (forthcoming, in video form), as a counterpoint to my ceaseless futurism. Read, [...]

Jet Sex: Romance, Precarity, and the ‘Global Nomad’

Once upon a time, we just read wack essays on the convergence of global cultures. We filed away this idea that someday, we’d all be living some rock-star mashed up lifestyle, somewhere between the jet age and information age. We woke up, and the future was finally sharing our pillow. Jet sex occupies a liminal [...]

Sex for Moderns: The Lucite Robot Edition

It’s sultry in San Francisco this afternoon, and my brain is still ramping up. Please, to the web powers-that-be, let me wake up somewhere between these two images, a cool, mod place for a mid-day fantasy: (Willy Rey) (Katy Manning) (both via Strange Ink, via Sexoteric)
