How I Learned to Stop Worrying (and Love the Porn)
In honor of today’s discussion about smut (join us today at The Ethical Society from 11:00 to 1:00!), I’m going to reprint an essay I wrote back in December of 2010. by Johnny Murdoc When I moved in with my partner, I did something unthinkable: I stopped masturbating. Though we’d been sexually active before we […]

Your Favorite Film (IN BED !!!)
Porn parodies are one of favorite sections of Spanky’s Video on North Lindbergh. I love how watching one of them keeps you from ever looking at the original the same way again! Lately, I’ve been able to watch a couple of parodies. One was fantastic (like its original) and one was a bust (like its […]
Typography Porn
Penguin Classics recently released a new translation of Vatsyayana’s Kama Sutra. I must say that, despite have little interest in reading the book in the past, the new design makes me wish I owned a copy: The porno-typography is the work of illustrator Malika Favre, and the new edition “offers a compelling modern translation of […]
Oh, No! James Deen Makes Girls Like Porn!
I know that this ABC Nightline report wasn’t supposed to make me happy, but it did: video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player “It’s your fault that people are looking at you!” “…and?” Maybe I have the same taste in straight porn as teenage girls, but James Deen is one of the few male-porn-stars-from-straight-porn that I actually […]
Capturing Your Sexy Self on Film
Or digitally anyway. “X has tagged you in a photo” – is a Facebook link that I never click. I generally hate pictures of myself – my face always seems to be shiny and I’m convinced that I’m fatter with every picture. The idea of having pictures of myself is great, and it’s fun for […]
Watching Porn in Public
The first time I watched porn with other people, it was five years ago. My partner and I threw this party… Wait, that’s a lie. The first time I watched porn with another person was years before that. My best friend and I found a small box of porn films and we watched them together. […]
On Barebacking, Part 2 by Lars Eighner
Back in August of 2010, writer Lars Eighner posted a couple of essays about (gay) bareback sex and (gay) bareback porn that I’d like to share. Thankfully, Eighner released the essays to the public domain, so a few weeks ago I posted the first part, and today I’m posting the second. The reason Eighner’s essays […]
Brent’s Oral Exam: A Cute, Effective Safer Sex PSA
by Johnny Murdoc I’ve been thinking a lot about safer sex, lately, especially when it comes to the gay community. I’ve been especially torn between my role as a sex educator, and someone who strongly endorses safer sex practices, and my belief that people have the responsibility to make decisions for themselves and should have […]
Audio Erotica
As promised in my review of sexaudia.com, I’m returning to their selection of sexy audio story providers. At Nobilis Erotica, you find a collection of podcasts with stories that lean heavily in the direction of sci-fi and fantasy. But that is where the commonalities stop. The stories present all kinds of scenarios and run the […]
Greta Christina at Skepticon 3
A few months back, Kendra and I both attended Skepticon 3, a Springfield, MO convention dedicated to skepticism. I think that Kendra and I both agree that one of the best things about the convention itself (excluding anything that may have happened in hotel rooms in between speakers and platforms) was Greta Christina‘s talk, Atheism […]
