Female masturbation can be quite a mystery, not only to men but also to many women. I will be honest with you, when I was young and still figuring out how things worked down there, I too would pick up my cues from porn, because, […]
No doubt people enjoy seeing other naked people. In fact, have them go at it and you’d get a crowd of watchers. So it comes as no surprise that human beings like watching porn. Around 90% of men and 31% of women watch porn. No […]
“We live in a society where everything is coming into question,” says visual artist, musician, and film director Paul Deeb. “Assumptions that we make are being questioned all around us. And marriage is one of those assumptions. There’s a spectrum of behavior, a continuum, everything […]
Recently, I spoke with Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals about her new book Exposure: A Sociologist Explores Sex, Society, and Adult Entertainment. During our conversation we happened upon the subject of reading and analyzing adult content the way you would any text or cultural object, and commented […]
A Roanoke TV station will be feeling more than a little out of pocket after being fined a massive $325,000 for accidentally broadcasting a few seconds of pornography across their airwaves from a feature aired THREE YEARS AGO. The Virginia outfit was stung 36 months […]
Taylor Swift is just one of a number of famous faces and companies that have secured .porn and .adult domain names ahead of their general release to the public in June. As BaDoink reported earlier this month, the domains were available to be purchased by […]
Last week, I conversed with a few performers and educators in the adult industry about their lives, their hobbies, knitting, dogs, and the apocalypse. Each chat was pleasant and jovial; I left those imaginary Skype boardrooms thinking I’d made a new friend, or at least […]
California’s Measure B, the law that requires mandatory use of condoms in all vaginal and anal sex scenes shot in Los Angeles County, has been a polarizing subject for a while within the adult industry. Last year, an appeals court upheld the law, inspiring disapproval […]
If you have even a mild interest in porn and keep up with viral media stories on occasion, you’re probably familiar with the Veronica Vain story. Until barely a month and a half ago, Veronica was an intern at a big financial firm in Wall […]
The average person’s perception of the adult industry tends to be linked to exploitation and degradation. Some of that reputation may have been earned in the past, but just like there’s a dodgy side to any profession, there’s also a positive and altruistic side that […]
Those who decry the Western political system call it an “illusion of choice”; the idea that the people we choose to represent us are not individuals with distinct differences, but part of a larger scam that ultimately forwards one or more common causes. It’s a […]
Let me take you back to the past, gentle reader. A time when porn was not at your fingertips. A time when getting your fix of porn meant one of two things: cutting out coupons in the back of magazines and sending off for videos, […]
I love the 21st century! One minute I’m on the ground, the next I’m in the air. Then I find myself in the third most sexually active city in the nation for the last three years according to Men’s Health, as Sexapalooza proudly boasts on […]
There are all kinds of dirty wars going on in this post-Soviet world where, thanks to the Internet and social networking—the deadly physical kind and the more abstract one involving the ‘civilized’ world and a ‘medievalist’ one, the fundamentalist and the enlightened, believers and atheists, […]
If you sift through #Pornocalypse for even a short while you will see a familiar message cropping up again and again: ‘The pornocalypse comes for us all.’ It may not yet have the tradition and durability of doom-laden portents like ‘The End Is Nigh’, but […]
My Polish photographer friend Urszulla Zcygliewicz told me about this site. I knew I was onto something interesting when I read the banner: “Unscathed Corpse is a collection of curious, weird, sexiest, funny, crazy and interesting sites. You can call it ‘subliminal porn.’ Sometimes it’s […]
Sometimes it’s the little things that can be the most fun (or at least that’s what women have been telling me all this time). It would probably be rather eye-opening, and potentially soul-destroying, if you tried to work out just how many porn videos are […]
I know a guy whose movie collecting hobby has evolved into full blown movie hoarding to the extent that he now rents two 8’ x 12’ storage lockers just to hold the overflow of boxes of movies that no longer fit within the garage, closets […]
Defining what the “other” is in this day and age becomes more difficult as time goes by. As the human race evolves and adapts to become more varied and tolerant, so too do our perceptions of the differences between us. One of the biggest areas […]
Fantasy Football is hugely popular on these shores, but yesterday’s historic and largely unexpected announcement of a ‘normalization’ of relations between the US and Cuba was more akin to Fantasy Diplomacy. Not only did President Obama and Raul Castro get around the fire and begin […]
