Gratuitous Male Nudity

This is Spymonkey, performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Gala in 2006. Yes, those are naked men running around on stage. This is gratuitous male nudity for no other reason except that it’s damned funny. Oh, and that little “bum wag” bit by the woman at the end… that’s a classic “I’m running naked to the bathroom past my man” move.

More Women Use The Internet Than Men

A marketing report called “Women Online” has found that more women than men use the internet in the US. 97.2 million women like to play with teh interwebs compared to 90.9 million men. The researchers found that women were more likely to use social networking sites like Myspace and were less keen on video sites like Youtube. The report has hit the big news services today and what’s interesting is Read More …

Mr World 2007

And today’s big news is that Juan Garcia has won Mr World 2007. No, this is not a late April Fool’s joke. There really is a beauty pageant for men, and this year it was held in China. Contestants are vying to be “the most desirable men in the world” and must participate in a variety of manly pursuits including quad biking, raft building, mountain climbing and… a talent quest.

Porn For Women Book

Hmm. Seems someone decided to take the “Blue Day Book” idea and raunch it up. Porn for Women, allegedly* written by the “Cambridge Women’s Pornography Cooperative” with photography by Susan Anderson, features photos of half-naked men doing housework. The pics are accompanied by phrases like “I love a clean house” and “As long as I have two legs to walk on, you’ll never take out the trash.” There’s also quite Read More …

Naked Man Rubbing Himself With Snow

Yep, that headline got your attention, didn’t it? Thanks to an episode of Oprah, I’ve now been exposed to the insanity that is Bear Grylls. This guy is the kind of Discovery Channel lunatic that would make Steve Irwin (RIP) proud. So, in the above episode of Man Vs Wild in which he simulates being lost in the French Alps, Bear deliberately jumps into a frozen lake so he can Read More …

Dove’s Campaign For Real Beauty Banned In US

The US FCC has banned a television commercial by Dove cosmetics because it shows too much flesh. The ads feature older women who are nude but discreetly posed, accompanied by the slogan “Too old for an anti-aging ad.” Adland also reports that conservative groups are upset by the campaign because it is “contributing to the sexualization of women as a commercial tool, as well as exposing children to adult nudity.” Read More …

Viggo Mortensen Kisses A Hobbit

I recently re-watched all three Lord of the Rings films and finally got around to watching the extras on film 3. One of the more amusing moments on that disc was when Viggo Mortensen decided to kiss hobbit Billy Boyd, ostensibly to make Sean Astin feel a bit more relaxed with his scene. Now that kiss goes for rather a long time. It’s kind of sexy, in a very strange Read More …

Adult Computer Games For Women

Cnet news has an article on the push to make sexual video games more female-friendly. They’re essentially saying that current games suit straight males, especially because they’re about having instantaneous sex. Apparently women want to take things a bit slower. The article has two particularly appealing bits. One is this rather garbled yet amusing quote: “I want to be me when I’m in (an adult game),” Heather Rothwell, a writer Read More …

Canadian Teens and Porn

Another day, another survey about teenagers viewing porn. This one is from the University of Alberta and it looks at 13 and 14 year olds from rural areas. Surprise, surprise, one third of boys that age have seen porn. I always look to see what the percentage of females is in these surveys, just as a comparison, and also as an indicator of changing perceptions towards porn among young people. Read More …

Challenging Censorship In Australia

I’ve posted about the Eros Association and AdultShop.com challenging the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification before, here, here and here. Now AdultShop is taking their Viva Erotica fight to the federal court, asking that adult films depicting non-violent consensual sex be given an R rating, meaning they can be legally sold everywhere. The CEO has pointed out that community standards had changed since 1984, when they were first Read More …

Captain Jack’s Got A Big Penis

I can’t help but post on this story, mainly because I can’t resist the headline “Captain Jack’s Huge Penis.” I’m a fan of Doctor Who (yes, yes, it’s very nerdy, I know). And I have to say I thought the arrival of bisexual Captain Jack was a fabulous addition to the show. Goodness knows it inspired all kinds of saucy threesome fantasies that probably don’t belong in the Tardis (not Read More …

The Erotic Adventures of Ralph

Well, seems there’s no need to write my own erotic stories when I can just quote extensively from British tabloid interviews with the Qantas air attendant who got it on with Ralph Fiennes in the toilet: “We were so close. Our faces were less than a foot apart and then he started holding my hands. Then he began kissing me. The kissing was very passionate and his hands were all Read More …

More Male Celebrity Nudity

I go away for a few days and suddenly male celebrities are busting to get their kit off. Dr Who star David Tennant gets nude in a new BBC drama called Recovery, which is about the loss of identity after an accident. Viewers can see him nude in the shower, when he forgets to turn the water on. Tennant has previously been nude in the 1995 stage play What The Read More …
