Along with frequent-flier miles and a passport packed with colorful stamps, almost every experienced globetrotter has at least one great story about a one-night stand in a foreign land. Which isn’t surprising. Traveling is so romantic in nature — moonlight over unfamiliar cityscapes, trains rumbling through thousand-year-old crumbling vistas — it would seem a shame not to share it with someone. And practically speaking, of course, hooking up with a winsome local means you’ve got an insider’s guide to the best restaurants and someone to help you work off the calories later.
Mike Edison, musician and author of I Have Fun Everywhere I Go 
…. (Faber and Faber), has traveled the world with various rock bands and has become something of an expert on the short-lived liaison. I recently sat down with the musician and picked his brain on the ins and outs of intercontinental intercourse. (more . . .)

It’s time to sign up for your Summer Vacation! The 10th Annual Leather Retreat is on and is going to be better than ever.
If you’ve never been to Leather Retreat, imagine a BDSM event where you don’t have to run from workshop to workshop, crowd into overheated lecture rooms or find a fast food joint because you haven’t eaten in 9 hours. You’ll love the 4 meals a day we’ve prepared for you, lounge at the pool making friends, (not just acquaintances in the elevator) and of course there is the play — 3 fully equipped dungeons open almost anytime day or night … at no extra charge!
This is the best BDSM vacation of your life.

For those of us on the road…
I travel quite often within the U.S. without incident. Again, though, it was pretty priceless watching kink tell that male inspector that her speculum was a shoe stretcher.

The city is filled with spas, salons, and massage parlors, but it isn’t always easy to tell which are legitimate businesses and which are mainly in business for hand jobs and tit fucking breast sex. Most massage parlors in the dirty sense stay in business through word of mouth, though a tip off is if a place advertises table showers, hot oil body work, sensual massage, or the big giveaway– hand release. Another good sign is if the massage parlor is open later than reasonable. Who really gets shiatsu at 2 in the morning in midtown? (more…)

‘Rufus Sings Judy’: Rufus Wainwright at the Olympia, Paris
Originally uploaded by viviane212.
I can find any excuse to go to Paris. This time it was so Jefferson and I could hear Rufus Wainwright sing ‘Rufus Loves Judy’ at the legendary Olympia. Rufus had vocal problems (NO high notes and couldn’t adjust his tessitura to sing down an octave), but he was much more comfortable with the music. The Paris audience didn’t seem to know Judy Garland’s music and the great american songbook like the Carnegie Hall audience did, but they gave him a standing ovation. Lorna Luft (‘sa mere est Judy Garland’) got a solo encore, and knocked it out of the park.
We saw the erotic drawings show at the Rodin Museum, Montparnasse Cemetary and also the Sargeant/Sorolla show at the Petit Palais. And we ate, and ate, and ate. Now, I need a wheelbarrow for my belly!
Bonsoir sweeties, the jet lag has done me in.

MUMBAI, Feb 9 (Reuters Life!) – This is India’s version of sex in the city.
A rare sex museum in Mumbai, the country’s teeming financial capital, is drawing hundreds of prostitutes and their regular clients who say they learn more about HIV/AIDS from its graphic exhibits than staid lectures on safe sex.
Antarang, which means intimate in Hindi, is a one-room exhibition of nude statues, models of the human anatomy and illustrations near a well-known red light district in Mumbai. And it is India’s only sex museum, according to its management. (more...)
Thanks, Lolita.

Most people have enough trouble imagining their parents having sex. But your ancestors from 100,000 years ago? Yes, they had sex too, strange as it may sound. In fact, humans have been having sex since … well, since humanity existed.
Now a new exhibition in Germany pays tribute to 100 glorious millennia of making out and doin’ it. The show “100,000 Years of Sex” at the Neanderthal Museum in Mettman near Düsseldorf addresses — in a strictly scientific manner, of course — such burning questions as: When did we start feeling lust and thinking about sex? Did meat get exchanged for sex in the Stone Age? And just how did the ancient Greeks and Romans do it?
The exhibition which opens Feb. 3 and runs through May 20, features voluptuous clay figures, well-endowed statues and ancient containers featuring rather raunchy engravings. The visitor can expect a “journey through time as interesting as it is pleasurable,” the museum said in a press release. Highlights include a 28,000-year-old phallus and the oldest condom in the world.
The show also addresses how sexual attitudes — often seen as set in stone today — have evolved over the millennia. Attitudes to marriage, homosexuality and pedophilia were very different in the past, and what went in ancient Rome was frowned upon in the God-fearing Middle Ages, not to mention our own puritanical age. Sexual mores from all periods are explained in the no-holds-barred exhibition.

A good reason to go to Dusseldorf: 100,000 Years of Sex, which shows we’ve always had sex on the brain.

We’re lucky that these object survived so we can learn about them. How will the future know about today’s sex blogs? Is your blog in the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine? Doyou want it to be?
