What Do Men Know About Periods?
THANK YOU, Julieanne at XOJane for making me laugh as I clicked through your articles today instead of doing anything productive. Thank you for this article, which links to this video, which taught me about Azadipads, which distributes 100% biodegradable feminine hygiene products to women in rural India. This just makes my day. Best point…

The Phallic Fallacy
At a panel on sex education and porn hosted by Smitten Kitten in Vegas last weekend, discussions about a crap-ton of topics dear to my heart were brought up by panelists Nina Hartley, Sophia St. James, Tina Horn, Tobi Hill-Meyer, Courtney Trouble, Dylan Ryan, and Danny Wylde. I can’t even begin to list them all,…

Links-a-matic Time: the Good, the Bad, and the Baffling
Darling readers, in the month I was gone, a whole lifetime of insanity seems to have gone by in the news. I thought of writing a few posts about some of the things that have happened in my absence, but the blogosphere, I’m sure, has already taken care of Gingrich and Bachmann and Perry, discussed…

The Buzz is All Justified!
This week keeps getting better! I wish I’d had more time for substantive posts, but your questions and suggestions are coming in way handy, and I’m super busy planning for my trip and etc. Newest news? 1) I’m going to be tracking down Jiz Lee for an interview for my art show. Oh man. I…

“But what about those who swing both ways? AC/DCs?”
I realize that in writing this I’m holing myself up quite solidly in my ivory tower, but I’m prepared to deal with that. This is, after all, my damn blog. I’ve been waiting around to hear some responses to the new bisexual men study from Northwestern University before talking about it here because I find…

Logical Fallacy #2 (Ok Maybe Not a Fallacy, but Still Bad Writing)
More on Naomi Wolf’s ridiculous “Is pornography driving men crazy?” article, which has now been reposted on HuffPo. Thank goodness, the commenters there are taking her to the cleaners for her myopic writing. I’d like to keep taking her there. Ahem: “Given the desensitisation effect on most male subjects, researchers found that they quickly required…

Logical Fallacy #1
Ok, Naomi Wolf. Let’s discuss some of this theory you’re working with over on Al Jazeera. One thing at a time. There are so many issues I see in what you wrote about how porn may be “driving men crazy” that I’ll take it nice and slow. Ease into it, like a man eases into…

Oooooooh This Makes Me Mad
A not-very-thought-provoking read on Al Jazeera (to their credit–in the Opinions section–by Naomi Wolf: “Is pornography driving men crazy?” An interesting title, actually, because she doesn’t really talk about what she means by “crazy” in the first place. I think “crazy” here might be retranslated to “those who willingly watches pornography.” I’m frankly hoping someone…

The Vibrator in the Bedroom: Friend or Foe of the Straight Man?
Not featured: human beings. In a noteworthy article on Salon today, Tracy Clark-Flory brings up a very cheering topic: straight men are starting to get less intimidated by sex toys. Granted, Tracy lives in San Francisco, where things tend to be a bit more sexually progressive than elsewhere, but it’s encouraging to hear coming from…

The Great Gangbang Interview with Sabrina Deep, Part II
Part II of my grandiose gangbang interview with Sabrina Deep! I think this is where we really get down to the nitty-gritty… Lag: Do the guys have a sense of camaraderie? Do they talk and get to know one another before they go onto the stage/in front of the camera? Or is it more of…
