• “Dallas LGBT advocates want the city to become the fourth in the nation to outlaw conversion therapy for minors.

“The first time you heard the word “Oneida,” it was probably in the context of silverware. … commune members engaged in a system of “complex marriage,” believing that loving, open sexual relationships could bring them closer to God. They believed the liquid electricity of Jesus Christ’s spirit flowed through words and touch, and that a chain of sexual intercourse would create a spiritual battery so charged with God’s energy that the community would transcend into immortality, creating heaven on earth.”

Then, he began posting the nudes to the Facebook page of the college where she teaches. Finally, he began using the images to pose as her online, inviting men to come have sex with her. His actions weren’t illegal in Maryland at the time—they were criminalized in 2014 largely thanks to Chiarini’s advocacy—and she never got justice.”

That’s right — female participants who read the male-dominated erotica expressed more sexist beliefs than male participants. … Interestingly, when men read about a sexually dominant female they came to value female dominance more.

“I entered the sex industry because I lacked access to health care. … For transsexuals, this often has another dimension. These procedures can provide a degree of relief from gender or sex dysphoria, which, according to the American Psychiatric Association, includes “strong desires to be treated as the other gender or to be rid of one’s sex characteristics.” The APA further recognizes that some individuals with dysphoria “can benefit greatly from medical and surgical gender transition treatments.””

“I got into the adult industry at the tender age of 18. I was really young. I needed money for my transition. Growing up in a small town I was discriminated against when it came to jobs.

I want to see a man with a larger cock give her what I cannot, the husband writes.

Note: religious content. “As a privileged married heterosexual and an evangelical Christian ethicist, I finally came to terms a few years ago with how terrible this problem is for LGBT Christians and embarked on a reconsideration process.

Just found on Feature Shoot, Behind the scenes in the life of a dominatrix:

The key to BDSM, says New York City-based photographer Samir Abady, is trust. He’s witnessed the profound intimacy that enfolds inside the dungeon of a dominatrix; there have been moments so delicate that just the click of the shutter could break the spell. Kink is the photographer’s ongoing chronicle of women who venture into the professional world of BDSM, the submissives who confide in them, and the day-to-day goings on of their otherwise mundane — or, as Abady would say, “vanilla” — lives.

• “There’s a widely held belief that a disproportionately high number of the women in porn were sexually abused. It’s one of those casually accepted notions that are difficult to disprove, because there isn’t enough reliable research on the subject and because it happens to be true for several high-profile porn stars, such as Jenna Jameson and Traci Lords. We like to tell ourselves stories about why some women decide to do “this kind of work.” … Stoya is the sex icon for a generation that doesn’t trust institutions, and a greased-up, moaning blonde is the face and body of institutionalized sexuality.”

Malibu, which produces adult content under the brand name X-Art, sues hundreds of “John Doe” Internet users each month, accusing particular IP addresses of illegally downloading its movies using BitTorrent networks.”

• “A man who has to give police 24 hours’ notice before he has sex despite being cleared of rape is to go on hunger strike. The single man, in his 40s, admitted to previously having an interest in sado-masochistic sex and used to visit a Fifty Shades Of Grey-style fetish club with an ex-partner. He has accused North Yorkshire Police of “sour grapes” after his acquittal for rape at a retrial, having spent 14 months on remand.”

“One of the most surprising facts about online pornography is how little concrete data exists about the ways in which it’s consumed. The most thorough collection of statistics to date was released six years ago by a company called Online MBA, but there are no details about how its information was gathered. The most frequently touted claims about online porn — 37 percent of the internet is pornographic content, Utah has the highest online porn subscription rate in the U.S. — seem erroneous at worst and dubious at best.”
* Is Moral Panic About Online Porn Misplaced? (The Atlantic)

“Though these often one-of-a-kind, tightly copyrighted works are no doubt priceless, when I first heard about [the New York Public Library’s Berg Collection of English and American Literature] collection of erotica all I could think about was a different kind of value: the treasure trove of sexual knowledge potentially held within these volumes. What kinds of weird and wondrous sex tips and tricks were held within these illicit pages?”

“… Many biologists were seeing what they wanted to believe, and then using the results to justify prevailing cultural norms. … The result, Tang-Martinez and Roughgarden believe, is that scientists have often failed to recognise astonishingly diverse sexual behaviours across the animal kingdom. There are now myriad examples of animals that break the rules entirely – from intersex kangaroo to a fish with four separate “genders”.”

“Sin-A-Rama is a profusely illustrated chronicle of the smut peddlers, pulp writers, and illustrators who helped burst open a Pandora’s Box of the forbidden that would usher out Eisenhower era repression and usher in the libertine spirit of the Sexual Revolution. Not only are sleaze books historically relevant, having played a major role in obscenity law, they also are a delightful product of their time…. stories and illustrations of Hells Angel style biker gangs, groovy hippie love-ins, Mad Men style office hijinks, and suburban swingers swapping spouses at key parties. And for lovers of American illustration art, they are undeniably eye candy.”

“… The essence of this view is distilled in the video “What’s Japan’s Problem with Vaginas?” posted on The Daily Beast’s website on Jan. 17, 2015. Featuring “penis festival” footage, it condemns Igarashi’s arrest as incontrovertible evidence of an anti-vaginal society, and expresses the hope that someday Japan will have “something to symbolize that real change has come — a vagina festival. And the very thought of that is obscene — at least in Japan.” There’s just one problem: Japan does have a “vagina festival.””

“When Carol and I had arrived, half an hour after the party had begun, the front door of the house was open, and a tray of prosecco-and-spiced-rum cocktails was sitting in the sun on the porch. Gweneth, the host, materialized. We’d been warned not to say the words “sex party” or mention the “Killing Kittens” name anywhere on the South Fork — the term of art was “Gweneth’s birthday party,” as in, “Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure they’ll have lube at Gweneth’s birthday party.” Keep in mind that Marie Claire is the magazine that published an unresearched, un-fact-checked, and wholly inaccurate article on hacker culture and sexual assault, as well as a piece that was false PR-spin-printed-as-fact from Somaly Mam after she was exposed for lying about … well, everything.

“A growing chorus has emerged claiming that porn is addictive, that it’s causing misogyny and sexual violence, that it’s leading people to have riskier sex, that it’s creating an epidemic of erectile dysfunction, and that it’s destroying our relationships. These are just some of the many reasons the US state of Utah recently went as far as to formally declare porn to be a “public health crisis.””

“If prostitution becomes legal in South Africa, Nosipho Vidima, a 30-year-old sex worker, knows exactly what she’ll do. She’d start her own business called The Pleasure House, a classy operation staffed with an office administrator trained in finance, a group of prostitutes earning minimum wage – and maybe even an Italian chef.”

“Some might assume that the shift towards viewing gender as fluid or encompassing identities beyond the binary is a novel cultural change; in fact, several non-Western cultures — both historically and today—have non-binary understandings of gender. In Indonesia, one ethnic group shows us that the idea that gender identity is expressed in more ways than two is actually hundreds of years old.”
* In Indonesia, Non-Binary Gender is a Centuries-Old Idea (Atlas Obscura)

“There’s a widely held belief that a disproportionately high number of the women in porn were sexually abused. It’s one of those casually accepted notions that are difficult to disprove, because there isn’t enough reliable research on the subject and because it happens to be true for several high-profile porn stars, such as Jenna Jameson and Traci Lords. We like to tell ourselves stories about why some women decide to do “this kind of work.” … Stoya is the sex icon for a generation that doesn’t trust institutions, and a greased-up, moaning blonde is the face and body of institutionalized sexuality.”

The bill goes well past the borders of the nation and particularly targets the flood of foreign adult tube sites that don’t have age verification systems in place to guard against access to those under the age of 18. Those sites typically solely rely on advertising and not memberships to capture revenue streams. The proposal also creates a federal age-verification regulator that could divvy out fines of up to £250,000, or 5 percent of a company’s revenue, when appropriate, to offending adult sites.”

• “A regulatory system that’s supposed to punish doctors who sexually abuse patients often shields them from public shame, a national investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution found.

But the newspaper’s review of more than 100,000 medical board orders and other documents shows a broad phenomenon of doctors in every state preying on vulnerable patients.”

I found the work of Atlanta-based photographer Roseography early this week and waited until Friday for a proper post on this artist’s stunning body of work. Afropunk tells us about Roseography saying,

Roseography describes himself as a visual composer; a particularly apt description for the majorly talented Atlanta-based photographer. The thing about Roseography is that he shoots everything and shoots it really well. His work ranges from editorial-ready beauty and dynamic action to afrocentric politics and social commentary to the candid and erotic. Whatever the subject, Roseography makes magic.

So true. His shots are elegant, hot, unbelievable, serene, disturbing, and electric. Some of them, I have no idea how he got the shot. Others make me want to fall in love, or in lust, or to sink into a stream in a far away place with a riot of mythical storylines in my head and heart — or all of these at once.

Let’s talk about beauty. Find Roseography on Tumblr, on Twitter, and on VSCO.

Remember – support indies. We’re not welcome on Facebook! If you found it here and want to share, tell people where you found it!
