Adult Stores Across the U.S.

I recently drove across the country from Los Angeles, CA to Unity, ME and back again. I clocked over 6500 miles in 10 days. Interestingly, along the way I noticed a chain of adult stores through the mid-west, mostly in Kansas (which is really full or cows and corn, by the way) and finally had [...]

Some latex with your leather

I love it when a plan, or cause, comes together.
International Mr. Leather has banned “bareback porn” and related materials at it’s event, facilities, outlet, and I presume, any web advertising or promotion of companies that sell and distribute “bareback” porn, from an AVN article.  The article begins with “Appalled by the reported increase in new [...]

It’s Showtime!

What if we told you Emily was going to be on the internet soon, I was her assistant host, and we “have a show?!!”
You’d probably scratch your head, shrug and say, “Hey, I didn’t even know you guys were working on a show.”
As Providence and Rev Mel (of Talking Sex Radio, www.talkingsexradio.com ) would have [...]

Why is New York so far away?

Alas, I have been on the e-mail list for this group in New York that sounds pretty awesome:

Recent events and activities have perked my interest, like tantric massage, and giving women full-body orgasms. (Trust me, run into enough men who aren’t interested in a woman’s orgasm and you feel like you are dying of thirst [...]

The Pizza Delivery Boy and your Condom Fantasy

It seems all is not well in Porn world.
I don’t have all the details straight (I’m not exactly your Sexworld CNN) but the issues of condom uses in porn films is making waves again.
The adult/porn industry has made strides in taking care of its own and many production companies require HIV testing at certain intervals [...]

“Never Trust Anything that Bleeds for 7 Days and Doesn’t Die”

Sometimes I feel like I’m “always working,” or at least, always thinking about sex.
While visiting with buddy Sean, I got to do a little work: go through his & his roommates “Maxims” and “FHMs” to copy down the names of stylists, agencies and photographers to market my corsets to.
I have built a following in the [...]

Welcome Simone!

Simone, corset-maker extraordinaire and self-proclaimed armchair sexologist, has agreed to post some blogs here on the Positive Sexuality Blog. I’m thrilled that Simone has agreed to do this, because I find myself getting bogged down with things and can’t blog as often as I would like to. I’m looking forward to Simone’s biting humor and [...]

Celebrities Coming Out

A Yahoo headline today reads “Adam Lambert finally confirms ‘I’m gay.’” Why is this news? Does this really matter? As far as I’m concerned, no. And yes.
Coming out can be an extremely difficult process, especially for someone who is already in the spotlight. Suddenly, all media coverage is focusing on the person’s sexuality and dating [...]
