VOTE!

And when you approach the voting booth, please consider which party is more likely to extend rights rather than restrict freedoms. See you after the elections.

I didn’t get to see every film on Cinekink’s roster — namely missing Friday night’s Headspace, The English Mistress, and (the ever controversial) R.C. Horsch’s Slaves. And I wasn’t able to stay for the all-important sex-and-politics program which included Liberty in Restraint. But here’s a chunk of films encapsulated to show what this gem of [...]

Film-watching overload doesn’t last all that long.
Say what?
OK, the explanation: I spent Saturday and Sunday watching roughly twelve hours of film each day. It was exhausting and I was loopy from too much movie but, to my surprise, I had NO hangover. None whatsoever. Yes, Cinekink was a lot of fun and full of kink-and-film [...]

Local progress in marriage equality in one regard and contrasting it to blatant, prejudicial fundie activism. I should point out the reported lack of titillation in the upcoming Kinsey film as well as the critical buzz Catherine Breillat’s latest is causing. I should be giving you a big laugh, courtesy of Photoshop, Fark, and Bill [...]

Their first video brought them considerable visibility, but their second? Faded from the scene as quickly as it debuted. Who am I talking about? Not some MTV rock group, but the Jibjab guys.

I’m trying to be sex positive here. Namely, in the matter of Bill O’Reilly’s new revealed and alleged sexual activities. Now, I’m really happy to hear that Bill’s allegedly using sex toys to enhance his masturbation. I’m pleased to hear he’s allegedly enjoying phone sex to enhance his pleasure. BUT: Why allegedly turn to and [...]

Seems the sex memoir is coming into its own. I’m not talking Jenna or Meliss P, the Euro wondergirl, but more mainstream individuals like Glora Vanderbilt and fomer ballerina Toni Bentley. From a NY Observer review which is no longer on-line,* it would appear that Vanderbilt’s book looks tad vapid, big on breathless wonder and [...]

And of course, it’s now been corrected: Justice Antonin Scalia’s supposed claim that orgies are good for the social fabric of existence. It was, of course, funny while it lasted. When I first heard it, I thought, “Well, that’s one way to get the swing vote!” And then I thought about duck hunting and its [...]
