Does Your Tyre Look Like A… Penis?

Maybe I’ve been in porn too long but I found myself wondering why TyrePlus decided to make this tyre look for all the world like a penis. Because it does. I mean, look at it. You could consider it as a foreshortened cock or perhaps it’s a glans… with tread on it. But it definitely doesn’t look anything like a tyre. Even one that is out of alignment. The ad Read More …

Of Course Fertility Clinics Need Porn

Apparently some media outlets in the UK are up in arms about the fact that fertility clinics give porn mags to men who have to provide sperm samples. Well, duh. They’re probably not going to get those lovely, sticky samples any other way. And the plain fact is, to get the sperm, the guy has to whack off. That in itself probably has the conservatives gripping their rosaries in horror. Read More …

Sex On A Bike

OK, while I’m away on my cycling tour I’m going to just schedule a quick post that combines sex and cycling. Just for the hell of it. So… What do you get when you cross a sex toy with a bicycle seat? The answer is at Gizmag. And did you know that you shouldn’t have sex with a bicycle because it will land you on a sex offenders list? It Read More …

Admiring The Mankini

A friend of mine is having a birthday soon and, giggling madly, I lashed out and bought him a fantastic present: a lime green Borat mankini. No doubt he’ll look superb in the outfit… if he’s ever brave enough to try it on. I found myself doing a Google images seach for the mankini and discovered a surprising number of good looking guys who do a damn fine job of Read More …

Where The Hell Is My Prince Charming?

Gorgeous cartoon from Stuff No One Told Me, via Erika Lust. I think we need to make this point a little more often. Romance novels are often derisively called “porn for women” and, while this is inaccurate in a lot of ways, it does make a point about unrealistic fantasies. Both porn and romance/fairytales offer a fantasy version of the opposite sex and depict sex and relationships in a very Read More …

Mark Twain Posts

If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting Read More …

Ummm… Shake Weight, Anyone?

I might be a little late with this – Ellen and John Stewart have already had a good laugh about this ad. But I might as well post it. It’s PUMPED full of very muscly guys who look like they’re, well, you know. It’s kind of erotic, actually. I have my doubts about the science behind this. Rapid movement like that looks like it might cause RSI but not actually Read More …

Who Knew That Creepy Bicycle Seat Sniffing Could Be So Sexy?

This is an ad for a perfume called “Vulva” which is apparently “the intimate scent of a beautiful woman” that a company has bottled “for your own smelling pleasure.” That’s right folks, these people are selling pussy smell in a jar. I have no idea what it smells like but they’re obviously keen to shift units via viral marketing. What to make of the above ad? It’s a bit like Read More …

Ad From 1988: Stimulating Face Massager

Trying to clean out my office cupboard I came across a Magnamail catalogue from about 1988. Amid its many stunning mail-order items was this ad for a “Cordless Super Massager.” Yes folks, that’s a great big bendy dong vibrator. I especially enjoy the line: “Shaped to fit under the skin around the eyes and brows where wrinkles occur.” At least in 2010 we don’t have to pretend that a big Read More …

Meet The Clitoria, The World’s Sexiest Flower

These lovely little plants are from the genus Clitoria, commonly known as the Butterfly Pea. Obviously the garden term isn’t as sexy as the official scientific name. Clearly the scientists were feeling a little horny on the day they named this flower. According to Wikipedia: This genus was named after the human female clitoris, for the flowers bear a resemblance to female pudenda. Originally the first described species of the Read More …

Librarians Are Very, Very Sexy

I used to be a librarian. Some people are surprised that I then became a pornographer but a newly released survey shows that librarians are actually very sexy people. Way back in 1992, Will Manley conducted a survey of over 5000 librarians, asking a slew of very personal questions about sex. The Wilson Library Bulletin refused to run it so now, after all this time, he’s posted the results on Read More …

Strip Clubs Safer Than Churches

This is too amusing to not blog about: figures from the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research show that more assaults, thefts and sexual assaults occurred in churches than in adult entertainment premises in Australia in 2008. A breakdown of the figures showed that 85 people were assaulted in places of worship, compared to 66 at an adult entertainment premises. According to the report, places of worship include churches, Read More …
