- Finally, the birthday party you’ve always dreamed of is now complete with this bouncy castle lined entirely with giant, plastic breasts. The jumper is the brainchild of creative duo Bompas & Parr, who’ve teamed up with New York’s Museum of Sex for FUNLAND: Pleasures & Perils of the Erotic Fairground.

- “There is but one positive, heroic bisexual male in all of mainstream sci-fi, and that would be Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor Who and its spinoff Torchwood. Played by a gay actor, Capt. Harkness is a forthrightly sexual fellow that often sleeps with both men and women, and kisses men on screen. But beyond him, can you name me one bisexual male hero from any sci-fi movies?”

- “None of this excuses the predatory nature of men who are out looking for targets. I share this story because I want to better understand Violet Blue’s perspective. I want to better understand what’s safe for me and what is safe for women. I want to better understand how I can achieve my goal of meeting somebody while balancing that with not making women uncomfortable or intimidated when I first meet or engage with them.”

- An FBI raid on an SF Bay Area sex worker listing website ended in the arrest of at least two employees and a complete shutdown of the site. Advocates are decrying the action, saying that the site’s closure could endanger, not help, local sex workers. The FBI’s charges are for racketeering, facilitating prostitution and money laundering, and not for sex trafficking of minors; CNN reported that the shutdown was part of a broad FBI crackdown on child prostitution, but only cited anonymous law enforcement sources. Meanwhile, Eros Guide (Eros Ads) is giving a discount to those who lost their advertising channel and need a safe place to advertise. Update: Eros just told me “Eros discount code is SFLA30.”

- A well-known conservative pundit and secrecy expert who once worked as an NSA officer has deleted all of his social media accounts after screenshots leaked this weekend that appeared to show him sending a shot of his soft penis to a Twitter follower who was not his wife. John Schindler is a professor at the Naval War College who has written conservative analyses on global security for Politico and Foreign Policy while scrapping with leftists and libertarians online. A former naval officer who worked as a counterterrorism operative at the NSA for more than a decade, Schindler has long defended that agency’s secret surveillance efforts while attacking information activists like Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and Glenn Greenwald.

- With her eye-opening book, Hanne Blank tactfully deconstructs a facet of modern sexuality that most of us take for granted: Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Hetrosexuality is a provocative history of heterosexuality. Blank, a writer and historian who has written extensively about sexuality and culture, looks at the ways in which social trends and the rise of psychiatry conspired to create this new category in the late 19th and early 20th century.

- “Online dating profiles have brought new visibility to racist dating criteria. When it comes to sexual preferences, people who don’t think of themselves as racist, and who in other situations would feel compelled to cloak their implicit racism in socially acceptable forms, evidently feel no qualms about proclaiming their desire for “only white guys,” “no blacks, no Asians,” etc.”
