A link blog about sex and sex culture

She’s probably too modest to tell you herself, but the Carnival’s own Jessica Gold Haralson has landed a sex-themed radio gig! Once a week, Thursday nights at 8pm, you can find her on “1210 Tonight with Anthony Mazzarelli” on WPHT 1210AM, a Philadelphia talk radio market, talking about the sexual issues of the day. Even better, you can find the show archived here, so even non-Philadelphia listeners can tune in.
Good for her!

My friend, novelist and recent Tiptree award winner Catherynne Valente is looking for men that like men. She’s writing a story which necessarily features a lot of man-on-man sex scenes, and she’s having a bit of a problem:
I have no trouble talking about sex between men and women, or women and women. I know all about both, having, you know, done it once or twice. But I am minus the necessary experience to write authoritatively about love between men.
Now, I’ve read and watched porn and I’ve read a great deal of books which have m/m sex in them–largely written by women, actually. (Is spit-lube really that common? I highly doubt it.) And I’ve heard the mockery of such scenes as unrealistic, and while I have a good idea of everything physical that goes on, I don’t know anything about the intimate experience of being a man making love to other men.
And I want to do it well, I want to do it right. This is extremely important to me.
So I’m asking my gay or bisexual male friends … if you would be kind enough to help a girl out–what bothers you about the sex scenes you’ve read, if anything? What do you want to see? And most important and most strange for me to ask–what does it feel like? What, if you’ve had sex with women, is different beyond the obvious? (I could go on for hours about what’s different with a woman as opposed to men, if reciprocation is desired by any other authors out there.) I’m looking for the specific, the peculiar, things not obvious to your local bisexual author girl, both receptive and penetrative experiences.
You can email her or comment on this blog post if you can help her out.

… the mice will be utterly devoid of creative inspiration?
Viv’s gone, I’ve got nothing to blog about and the weekend is coming up. This bodes ill. I’ve got to come up with some content! What if our readers abandon us while Viv’s on vacation? She’ll blame me! My blogging career will be over!
Think, Mongol, think. You’ve got to come up with something. Maybe you can rip off your personal blog. Nobody reads that anyway! OK, OK…
This weekend’s topic: The film title “Backdoor To Buttsville” is redundant, because if one is going to Buttsville, one can assume that one is taking the backdoor.
Discuss.

I’ve been doing this sex-news blogging thing for a good while now, and the porn thing for even longer, and some of the items that I’ve seen in that time boggle the mind and defy any chance at rational description. Over time, you mostly lose the ability to be shocked, and you develop thick, heavy intellectual and emotional callouses.
Those callouses are why it’s extremely rare nowadays that, with mouth gaping and synapses firing at random, I am overwhelmed with that perverse and strangely satisfying mix of disgust and prurient amusement at something that I find on the internet. It’s memorable every time it happens: The first time I saw the Goatse man. That one midget gangbang video. The twin-transexual-dominatrices and their bizarre forklift/latex/ass-dart tableau. And now this.
Behold. The end times are surely nigh.

Sex-based reality television shows may not be the shocking new idea that they were a couple of years ago, but the new Colombian program “Los Pichones”, produced for the Kamasutra cable channel, pushes the envelope a bit. The show’s concept is simple — at the end of each show, the contestants that have the most boring sex get voted off, while the most obscene or scandalous couple wins a prize. The last couple standing wins the grand prize, which isn’t specified anywhere I’ve seen but is hopefully something super-exciting.
A lot of the stunts or challenges presented seem kinda fun: Renting a truck and having a little road-nookie, having sex in front of a group of your friends or putting on a little S&M vignette. Hell, most of that sounds like a week in the life of some of our very own Sex Carnival contributors. But the challenge that involves having sex in a barnyard, surrounded by animals and rolling around in pig-, chicken- and/or horseshit… Well, it sounds a little more Fear Factor than I think most folks would be strictly comfortable with either doing or watching. Call me a Puritan if you will, but I think that there are places in the human body that pigshit just shouldn’t go.
More here, but it’s in the Spanish.

OK, so typically here at the Carnival we try to stay highbrow — you know, seminars and educational opportunities and analyses of sexual politics and so forth — but sometimes… well, sometimes I just can’t resist reaching deep down low, down to the Spanish-television bikini-weather-report level.
Behold, readers: A bull humping a midget little person.

I like sex, and I like guns. But no matter how hot it might be, in concept, to mix the two, I’m a firm believer that never the twain should meet.
Because otherwise very bad things happen.

We’ve all heard the old saw about how some folks are so arrogant that they they jerk off while looking into a mirror. Well, what do you say to the woman that commissioned a $12,000 lookalike sex doll of herself?
Artist Amber Hawk Swanson uses her RealDoll doppelgänger, named Amber Doll, to explore “the interplay between fantasy and reality in sexual relationships”, including staging rape scenes from movies featuring herself and the doll both dressed as the victim.
I know that it’s infeasible (or at least self-indulgent and pointless) to attempt to judge the relative value of artistic expression, but speaking strictly personally… that’s fucking creepy.

Look, everyone, it’s a bunch of new 2257 regulations! For those of you who may not be aware, the 2257 rules are a bunch of federal regulations about the production and sale of adult, that is, pornographic content.
This latest batch features some clarification on what “date of production” really means, what form your recordkeeping has to take (paper), and exactly where on a commercial adult website you’ve got to post your producer information and compliance statement (everywhere). I’ll have a post up on A Savage Place about this in more detail by Monday, but in the meantime, this AVN article gives a good quick summary, by someone far more qualified than I am.

Apparently the nation of Cyprus has banned a sex toy in the interests of national security. The remote-controlled vibrator allegedly operates on the same frequency as military communication systems.
Is it true? I don’t know. But it makes a damn good story.

Oral sex causes throat cancer!? Say it ain’t so!
It may not be a conclusive causative link, but those numbers imply an extremely strong correlation between number of oral sex partners and throat cancer.
Dammit. What won’t kill you nowadays?

While feeladdicted.com is a terrible site in that I have no idea what it is — a joke site? A graphic design showcase? An inventor’s dumping ground? — it has just unveiled a terrific idea that is also probably one of the harbingers of the apocalypse, to wit, a sex doll for your dog.
Yep. Our civilization is doomed.
Warning: In addition to perplexing obscurity of purpose, feeladdicted also features a really irritating Flash interface.

Is this voyeur blog creepy? Well, yes, very much so. Still, you’ve got to admire the guy’s singular clarity of purpose: He’s interested in “latina [sic] women in public places wearing high heel shoes, sexy miniskirts, tight pants, office uniforms and pantyhose” and by golly, that’s just what he delivers.
Creepy, though.

I posted something a bit more thorough over at A Savage Place, but the Cliffs Notes version of the story is that Judge Walker D. Miller has made a ruling on the motion for a summary judgement in the Free Speech Coalition‘s challenge of the new 2257 record-keeping laws — the ones that govern the production of pornographic materials — in the Colorado District Court (aka Free Speech Coalition v. Gonzales). You can read more about it over at AVN, and a reaction at the Free Speech Coalition’s own website.
While a setback for the FSC’s efforts, the ruling did clarify certain previously ambiguous parts of the new 2257 regulations. It gets a little involved, but the upshot is that a lot of the new record keeping rules aren’t quite as draconian as the written law might suggest. Most significantly: While producers do have to keep copies of the IDs of performers on file, they’re allowed to blot out the day and month of the performer’s birthdate and the performer’s SSN and home address on those copies. That’s a huge deal — otherwise, think of the potential for identity theft and stalking if and when those records are released to “secondary producers”, including retail outlets — and I think it’ll make the new 2257 regs a lot more palatable to people.

Remember that essay I wrote for GOOD about Asian fetishists? If you liked that, you’re going to LOVE this video.
Hilarious and sad. The one I always get is OP trying out their bad Mandarin: Ni hao! Nuh uh.
