Among those of us who are associated with the porn industry, or at least some of us, there is a crazy idea that has some currency: namely, that what we do is having, or someday will have, or at the very least could have, a positive effect on the world. How exactly this is supposed [...]
I come to you today, oh my brothers and sisters in iniquity, as a bearer of bad news. (Before we go any further, by the way, let me say that I would appreciate it if you didn’t take this as an excuse to beat me to death with those big floppy dildos you keep under [...]
Well, it looks like the AIDS Healthcare Foundation has finally won. All my bitching and fulminating, all my blogging and twittering, all of my refusals to go gently into that good night, it has all been for naught. Apparently actually going out and speaking to politicians and voters and spending money on ad campaigns and [...]
I’ve been in Hawaii for the past three weeks. Just in case that sentence hasn’t made you hate me, I’ll add another: There are a fuckload of beautiful, almost naked women in Hawaii. I’m talking like, goddamn. Seriously. There are more bronzed and bared buttcheeks here than there are pineapples. And sideboob? Man, Indonesia better [...]
So, what’s your favorite scene in Bladerunner? The famous opening bit, with the flames shooting up into the air over the futuristic dystopian landscape? That bit where all the Buddhist monks on bicycles go by? The whole thing with the frozen eyeballs? If you offered any of the above answers I have one thing to [...]

If you’re looking for a part in the latest Wicked film then sure, that 7-guy blowbang you’ve got listed under ‘Demonstration of Work Related Skills’ might be the thing that seals the deal. If you’re trying to do almost [...]
In Peterborough (that’s in Ye Old England) a postal worker who spent ten years going through people’s mail looking for porn and women’s underwear has been warned by the bobbies (that’s how they say ‘police’ in the British language) that “he could face jail.” Could face jail? Do you know what a decade’s worth of [...]
Everybody knows that sex sells. Respectable folks may hide their porn and dildos when they’ve got company in the house, but they’ll use a babe in a bathing suit to sell you a car or a bronzed cabana boy to sell your grandma a vacation faster than you can say Smoke Marlboro and you’ll get [...]
Have you noticed? The air is getting colder. There are pumpkins in the fields, and the smell of apple cider and burning leaves in the air. Christmas decorations are starting to appear on the shelves of your local department store. All of which can only mean one thing: it’s Halloween. That’s right. It’s that time [...]
