[re:] To Build a Better Sex Blog

filed under: We Are The Sex Media by Melissa Gira | 1 Comment

Susannah Breslin (Reverse Cowgirl):

“Something more than one more portal to free porno. Something other than one girl’s Dear Diary of zipless fucks. Something without pseudonymous erotica, bad porn ads, and half-naked self-portraits via cellphones…

Something post-feminist and politically incorrect, unabashed and unashamed, what girls talk about where boys aren’t.”

filed under: Web Sex Index, Bubble Hotties by Melissa Gira | Leave a Comment

Everybody’s former internet-boyfriend ze frank, who was there for us every day until not too long ago, wakes us up this morning with this self-portrait of a love song…

“and omg i would luv that picture of you
taking a picture of you
holding the camera for me
in the bathroom mirror…”

I’m not the only one reminded of ze’s fellow New York bubble hotties?

Group Sex, for Science

filed under: Do It for Science, Retrosexual by Melissa Gira | 1 Comment

Via Jezebel, the New York Times bookblog has unearthed a precious volume, Group Sex: A Scientist’s Eyewitness Report on the American Way of Swinging, bearing insight into the bygone days group sex in the last century.

Offers its author, Dr. Gilbert D. Bartell, Ph.D.:

Although my wife is not an anthropologist, obviously my investigations would have been far more difficult without her assistance.

No slouch, Time magazine covered Dr. Bartell’s study when it was first published, in 1971, with this caution:

The trouble is that swingers often find themselves too busy; the rule is to swing only once with the same couple (so that no intimate, marriage-destroying relationships develop). Thus the search for “beautiful” or “great” (contrasted with “moldy”) partners is never ending. Eventually hours of the swingers’ waking day are spent on the phone or writing letters to make new contacts—or driving hundreds of miles to meet them. Sheer exhaustion causes many to drop out of swinging after two years or so of frantic activity. More important is disillusionment. Finally able to act out adolescent fantasies, many swingers find that the fantasies were better than reality.

You could paw around the basement at the Times for your own, but a quick search shows that a copy can still be had still today.
