“Slut, Whore, Bitch!” – The Language of Porn

I was recently discussing the idea of women’s porn with another female webmaster. She had concluded that it was all about roses and romance, and being treated with kid gloves, which was not her thing. We also talked language. “Text that says ‘Cum watch these hungry sluts getting gagged on cock” is something that I would click to view,” she said. I was musing about that sentence when I read Read More …

Groundskeeper Willie: Unlikely Sex Symbol

He may have a past that includes the nicknames “Rowdy Roddy Peeper” and “The Aberdeen Strangler”, he may make a hobby of filming couples having sex in cars (and “every single Scottish person does it!”) and he may have been concevied, born and educated on a pool table but Groundskeeper Willie is still a bit of a hottie. Not convinced? Just watch the Simpsons episode where Willie wildly rips off Read More …

A (Very) Brief History of Male Centerfolds

As reported previously in this post, this month US Cosmopolitan is celebrating 10 years of naked male centerfolds. They’ve been offering up naked men since 1996 and in the last 5 years have combined the beefcake with a charity push to raise awareness of prostate cancer. Partly inspired by Cosmo’s PR effort, I decided to write a feature article on the history of male centerfolds, to feature in the upcoming Read More …

Naked Men News Updates

There’s quite a few articles about naked men in the news at present. Here’s a roundup: Naked men try to calm a volcano. Mount Merapi in Indonesia is threatening to erupt, threatening thousands of lives. Despite being Muslim, many villagers are aslo animist and are conducting rituals to prevent the mountain from exploding. “These Muslim men have also been known to gather naked in groups late at night and run Read More …

Romance Erotica Contains (Gasp!) Sex

It seems to be the news story that just won’t go away: romance novels for women contain increasingly explicit sex. Shock! Horror! Something must be done! For weeks now I’ve been seeing the same article syndicated or rewritten in different news outlets. Perhaps I should just list a few of them here: Mainstream publishers bring erotica to the masses (Chicago Tribune, syndicated by AAP). Romance, Writ Large (Washington Post) Reading Read More …

Jamie Hyneman: Unlikely Sex Symbol

So, I thought I’d start to blog about guys who are sexy, even though they are unlikely candidates for the tag “sex symbol.” And my first subject is Jamie Hyneman, one of the hosts of Mythbusters. For some reason, I find Jamie to be kind of hot. Maybe it’s the mustache. Maybe it’s the clean white shirt. Or maybe it’s that he’s the strong silent type, the straight man to Read More …

Swayze Voted Best On-Screen Near-Naked Man

Cosmopolitan’s poll of 800 readers has declared Patrick Swayze to be the hottest near-naked man on screen. The moment in Dirty Dancing when when a bare-chested Swayze lifts Jennifer Grey out of the water was voted as the sexiest, followed by Jesse Metcalfe mowing the lawn with his shirt off in the hit US series Desperate Housewives. Celeb favourite Matthew McConaughey‘s shirtless scene in How to Lose A Guy In Read More …

Ayla The Prehistoric Porn Star

Take any pre-loved paperback edition of Jean M. Auel’s The Valley of Horses and let it fall open. I’ll bet you a pair of mammoth hair underpants that the pages will automatically flip open to one of the many “dirty bits”. I was 14 when I first read The Clan of the Cave Bear, quickly followed by The Valley of Horses and The Mammoth Hunters. I think I can safely Read More …

Women Think About Sex More Than Men

A survey of 4000 women by travel company lastminute.com has found that women think about sex more every day than men. Apparently we girlies spend 180 minutes a day pondering rumpy-pumpy, while men only think about sex for 150 minutes. I’m not sure why a travel company would be interested in this infomation, but there it is. They do also point out that both men and women spend most of Read More …

Mmmm, Cowherds

Thanks to Scanner for altering me to the World Cup 2006: Alternative Ladies’ Programme on Switzerland’s tourism site. “Well ladies, how about spending the summer of 2006 in a place where men are not so much interested in football as in making a fuss of you – in the Swiss Alps, for example?” The TV commercial is just bursting with innuendo, and what with the slogan “Get Natural” it’s all Read More …

A Little Bit More Of Moonlighting

David: There’s a big part of me that can’t help wanting to find that spot on your neck. Maddie: That’s perfectly understandable. What… what spot on my neck? David: You know, that little spot on the back of your neck. Just below your hairline? Maddie: Oh yeah. There. David: Kinda brush my lips against it… not hard or anything. Maddie: No, no… I understand. David: Then maybe… unbutton your blouse. Read More …

Penis Puppetry Leads To D-Cuppetry

I’ve long been a fan of Puppetry of the Penis. I’ve even interviewed the Aussie stars twice for For The Girls, and had a few amusing photos taken with them. One of the things I asked the guys was did they think there’d ever be a female version of their show. They said no. Girls bits weren’t really meant for puppetry, they thought, and besides, you would be able to Read More …

Onyer, Pink

I very rarely drag myself away from my established music collection to listen to anything new, because the majority of the stuff currently “charting” is such crap. I have an especially low tolerance for rap and R&B, because most of it is repetitive, obnoxious, sexist garbage. Thus, I’m over the moon to read the lyrics of Pink’s latest song, Stupid Girls: What happened to the dreams of a girl president Read More …

Moonlighting: When David and Maddie Do It

It’s a little over 19 years since THE episode of Moonlighting aired in the US. Over 60 million people watched as bickering detectives Maddie and David finally did it. I saw it as a teenager and was entranced by it. This was hot stuff – passionate, almost angry sex between two people who finally admitted they cared about each other. On April 1 I finally watched the episode again… and Read More …

Brokeback Mountain as a “soft porn for women chick flick”

The Chicago Tribune has an interesting article discussing why women are flocking to see the gay cowboy love story Brokeback Mountain. It seems that we girlies just can’t get enough of all the “romantic longing, furtive glances and secret anticipation”, not to mention the downright sexy idea of man-on-man love. “Here’s a chick flick and it’s about two men,” said Amy Reynaldo, 39, of Chicago. “They want to be together, Read More …
