Into thy mouth I commend something other than my spirit or: don’t make me use this right hand in paradise.

“I like having a director who cares enough to – gosh – give direction, instead of leaving it to me to do what I want,” Hartley said.

Why don’t these devoted shadow readers submit answers for the chance at fabulous prizes? I thought.

Because they are more excited by the unknown, I sagely answered.

“Educating Rita,” “Driving Miss Daisy,” Eating Raoul,” “Boxing Helena,” Deconstructing Harry,” “Being John Malkovich,” – um – “Romancing the Stone,” “Leaving Las Vegas,” and now “Asphyxiating Ariel.”

For some, there is a connection between sexuality and shame, and it can be felt on both sides of the relationship. Asa Akira talks about that “What did I just do?” feeling

This movie is provocative but doesn’t answer an important question: In the rulebound world of lifestyle BDSM, should bitches get slapped for typos?

“When people found out I played the oboe, they would ask me to play it while sitting on some girl’s face and giving a blowjob,”

“I know I’m a Dinosaur, doomed to extinction, because everything is turning into digital. Even love.”

I’m hoping that future videos will explore fashion choices of the Cenobites, Cthulhu, and Quint from “Jaws.”

You can get away with so much poor planning as long as nudity is involved.

Zaftig and wicked dominatrix Julie Simone sent along this snapshot of domestic tranquility at her place, as captured in her forthcoming “Vicious Vixxxens 6: Asphyxiating Ariel.” Because I am interested in how things work, I asked Simone about her process. “What do you call what you’re doing to that poor girl?” I asked. “Tuesday,” she [...]

It’s so important to support the arts in a city that thinks more of a five-and-under on “Three And A Half Men” than it does my recent stage triumph “Gram Ponante Comes on Your Face.” But this Saturday a group of entities is getting together to sponsor Dark Carnival Night at Club Hell on Santa [...]

San Francisco’s Kink.com, founded in 1997 as a single, catch-all fetish website, has grown to an umbrella organization comprising almost 20 specific, constantly updated websites for which content is generated around the world and collected in one big building on Mission Street. The Armory, as I mentioned before, is a massive and imposing stone structure [...]

Lorelei Lee left today on a cross-country road trip to New York, where she will be attending graduate school. At San Francisco’s Kink.com Armory, Lee this week directed a scene for the site Wired Pussy that counts as her last paid work before school starts. She’ll be returning now and then on breaks. Luckily, graduate [...]

Nina Hartley donated some ass-pinkening for the greater good last weekend at the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Foundation’s first Los Angeles fundraiser, which featured a great deal of leather and people practiced at wielding it. The Woodhull Foundation embraces the idea that sexual freedom is a fundamental human right, as opposed to something that is only [...]

Nina Hartley, Carol Queen, and Lamalani, International Ms. Leather 2009, will grace a fundraiser Saturday night for the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes sexual freedom as a fundamental human right. This is the first L.A. event for the Washington D.C.-based advocacy group, said spokesman Jim Rea, and he encourages members of the [...]

Others may feel differently, but this was the most shocking thing I ever saw in a movie aimed at my then demographic: Molly Ringwald’s stunt crotch from 1985′s “The Breakfast Club.” (The second most arresting cinematic moment came a year later when Isabella Rosselini said “Hit me, Jeffrey.”) Iconic 80′s director John Hughes died of [...]

I will be a guest on the inaugural episode of “Is This Normal?”, a sexology and sex ed show on TalkingSexRadio (“Where adults can be adults”) tonight from 8 to 10. Hosted by Emily Prior, founder of the Center for Positive Sexuality, with assistance by bondage fashions designer and Filthy Book Reader Simone Williams, “Is [...]

My needs are simple, yet look how exorbitantly Vixen Vogel accommodates them in “Brazen And Unshaven.” Not only that, but after writing about porn for several years, my expectations are also low. Hence the deep satisfaction I felt about “Slut Wife Training 4,” despite the fact that I am fairly certain these wives were filthy [...]

It was a pleasure seeing Noname Jane at Erotica L.A. this weekend. I didn’t notice at the time that she was wearing a pentagram, but that might have been the way Satan wanted it. I first met Noname Jane under a different name (I was then known as Ronnie James Dio) in 2006 at the [...]
