  • Comment Period Now Open on .XXX – Make Your Voice Heard | techyum :: – On August 24 the 30-day comment period opened for the proposed .XXX top-level domain. Until September 23, the public is invited to tell ICANN what they think. If you’re unfamiliar with the history and issues around .XXX, and the men who stand to profit from it (while exhibiting blatant disregard for the very serious problems it poses) please read Now Playing: .XXX. TLD Carpetbaggers Give New Meaning to “Drop and Snatch” (carnalnation.com).
  • How To Get A Sex Blogger To Have Sex With You | Sex and the 405 – A good way to get to know me is to engage me regarding the content I post. Yes, we may talk about sex, my preferences and your own. That does not mean you should suggest we fuck. It just means we’re discussing our preferences. Please note that many people engage me in this way and the best way to differentiate yourself is by having intelligent conversation with me.
  • An Interview with the author of Sex at Dawn; The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality | Examiner.com – I recently had the opportunity to speak with psychologist Christopher Ryan, one of the authors of a revolutionary new book that debunks the theory that monogamy is a natural and thus appropriate construct for our species. The book is entitled Sex at Dawn; The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality and was co-written by Ryan's wife, psychiatrist Cacilda Jetha.
  • “it’s not about sex” and other lies « Sex Geek – I realize that I come to my poly from a place of queerness, where because of a long history of oppression, of being told our sex is bad, many of us hold onto and defend the beauty of our sexuality with great ferocity. I come to it from a place of kink, where we spend tons of time talking about how to play and have sex in ways that feel good to us. But whether you’re kinky or queer or poly, all of the above or none of the above, I invite you to join me in refusing to buy into any variety of “sex is bad” or “sex is less than,” no matter whose mouth it comes out of. Whether it’s conservative lawmakers, or our intimate partners; the American Psychological Association or our community leaders; the Religious Right or the sacred sexuality proponents.
  • 5 Things an Affair May Not Mean | Christopher Ryan | Huffington Post – In "Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality," Cacilda Jethá, my coauthor (and wife) and I argue that there's a good reason long-term sexual monogamy is hard for human beings. The evidence we present in the book shows that til death do us part may be a wonderful ideal, but it's anything but an easy (or natural) path for most human beings. Yes, we are moral beings (most of us) with the capacity to override our evolved predispositions to some extent, but maybe, just maybe, an occasional slip on that long and arduous path is to be expected…Or maybe not. Such notions of tolerance are actively discouraged in America. As Pamela Druckerman explains in "Lust in Translation," her survey of global attitudes toward infidelity, "It has come to seem obvious to Americans that the discovery of infidelity leads to a confrontation, followed by counseling, perhaps other forms of support, and a long period of discussion and recovery (sometimes in perpetuity)."
  • Sex and Censorship: What Recent Attacks on Online Sex Discussions Have to Do With Your Blog | BlogHer – That is what is at stake here. This isn't an issue of us versus them, morality versus indecency, conservatives versus liberals, believers versus atheists. This is a matter of freedom to speak, freedom to congregate, freedom to learn about ourselves and to share that knowledge. That's what this country stands for and it's essential that those of us who believe in these tenets take a stance against those seeking to oppress them.

  • Mistress Matisse’s Journal – Um, yeah, since you asked – you’re snobs, ladies, and you are indeed pretty ass-backwards. The one-line disclaimer you tagged on at the end about how, oh, okay, you’ve learned your lesson and you won’t make fun of those crazy swingers anymore? I’m unimpressed. You are not qualified to write knowledgeably about a minority sexual community, because your outlook is provincial, your research is shallow, and you don’t even try to hide, let alone really examine, your bias. Stick to tips on blowjobs and pubic hairstyles, that’s about your speed.
  • Porn School: The problem with learning about sex from porn | Bish – So lots of young people learn about sex and relationships from porn. The problem with this is that they can learn good and bad things. The legal age for watching porn is over 18, I think this is a good thing. I think that you need to be old enough to understand some of the things going on.
  • Hong Kong transgender woman fights marriage ban | SF Gate – The case underscores the uncertainty of marriage law when it comes to people who have changed their biological gender in the socially conservative ethnic Chinese community.
  • Early Struggles of Soldier Charged in Leak Case – NYTimes.com – He spent part of his childhood with his father in the arid plains of central Oklahoma, where classmates made fun of him for being a geek. He spent another part with his mother in a small, remote corner of southwest Wales, where classmates made fun of him for being gay.

  • Why is internet porn the unloved stepchild of the indie porn world | Furry Girl – My annoyance and confusion comes from wondering why talking about “good porn” means talking about who makes good porn that is available as a feature-length physical DVD.
  • Follow-Up for Multigen Experiences with & Attitudes About Casual Sex Survey | Heather Corinna – If you have not done the previous survey you can still take this one, though I’d be very grateful if you could do both. The previous survey is a longer one, and includes several essay questions; it takes around a half an hour to complete and is a much more reflective experience. This follow-up survey should take around 5-10 minutes.
  • David Livingston Takes His Big Dick Around NYC (Violet Blue, Laughing Squid) – In an ongoing absurdist art performance, Livingston walks into a public spaces around NYC and performs a simple action (such as buying a pastry) with a six foot long, flaccid, stuffed penis and testicles held to the front of his body.

  • Taking One Step Forward and Two Steps Back in the Sex Toy Industry – In any case, because I’m a sex toy industry nerd I follow all of this with great interest. I want the industry to continue developing. And while I have high hopes, often I’m reminded that evolution, particularly when sex is involved, can take time. Take two recent business pieces on the sex toy industry.
  • rainbows & riding crops: Re: “Brown Teaches Students How to Have Kinky Sex” | mz. aida – Just in case my comment doesn’t get approved, and also because I just want to publicize it for further discussion, here’s my response to this article, whose main beef with Sex Week seems to be the university support and financial backing.
  • Sexual Informatics chart: Non-Monogamy | Franklin Veaux – I’ve been told, many times, that the word “polyamory” is not really necessary, as it’s simply a synonym for “open relationship” or “swinging” (or, depending on the person talking to me, “cheating”). This idea seems to assume that there’s really only one kind of non-monogamy, which is kind of silly. I started thinking lately about the various ways in which a relationship can be non-monogamous, and the intersections between different sorts of non-monogamy, and after tinkering around with the notion for a while I’ve come up with this diagram.
  • Sexual Intimacy and Expression: A Survey of Men and Women Who Live With Pets – You are invited to participate in a research study of the romantic and sexual lives of men and women who live with one or more dogs or cats.

  • Film Festival Secrets: Programmer Profile: Lisa Vandever of CineKink – Nothing wrong with a little titillation – or a lot – the CineKink audience has also become used to works that take an intelligent approach to sexuality, to depictions that move beyond the clichés, to portrayals that don’t denigrate or preach. They also join us for the sense of community you can get from experiencing a film in the company of like-minded others. And, of course, for some really killer parties!

  • Consumer Reports on condoms | violet blue ® :: open source sex – They also — frustratingly — gave me a password to view the subscribers’ only results of which condoms they tested and the results but told me I could not reproduce the findings. ARGH! I will tell you one thing I saw, however and hope it’s not a breach of their request: never, ever, ever use glow in the dark condoms. I’ll also add that I’m dismayed to see the best performers in their stress tests are condom lines that have additives and desensitizing lubricants on them: they’re apparently rated for performance, not body safety.
