- “Female data sets are worth more money.” When you enter the online world, your gender doesn’t get left behind. When information or photos that are regularly posted online get into the hands of someone “who doesn’t care about us or our safety, or worse – someone who gets off on hurting women – [it] is disastrous, no matter how proud we are of our bodies, how sex-positive we are, or how comfortable we are with being sexy and strong at the same time.”

- This week the Prince George’s County, Maryland police department will live tweet prostitution stings in some weird attempt to create a social media version of “To Catch a Predator.” This is a horrible idea, for so many reasons, not least of which is the county’s horrible record on not screwing up things of this nature.

- Some adult film actors have voiced complaints after Samuel L. Jackson, during a press conference panel for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, replied to a question about what pop culture innovation he’d recommend to Steve Rogers by saying, “RedTube.” So much facepalm here I don’t even know where to start… Let’s hope someone tells these porn performers how tube sites do content partnerships. (Partnership affiliate programs between porn studios and the tube sites are where the studios GIVE FREE CONTENT to the tube sites for affiliate links — and it has been a big business for several years.)

- South Dakota Republican Rep. Steve Hickey sent a lengthy letter to the editor to the Argus Leader, South Dakota’s biggest newspaper, in response to a federal lawsuit against the state’s gay marriage ban. The letter, titled “A One Way Alley for the Garbage Truck,” is as fantastically vulgar and obsessive as you would hope it to be.

- “Wen Zhou, a psychologist and olfaction researcher at the Chinese Academy of sciences, and her colleagues looked at two compounds found in bodily fluids that, according to earlier studies, are good candidates for human pheromones: androstadienone, associated with men, and estratetraenol, from women. The two steroids were found to elicit markedly different responses in male and female test subjects.”

- “It doesn’t matter if you think sex doesn’t belong in games, because sex is one of those basic human drives that manifests itself in our lives and in our art, whether by our own volition or in the minds of our players. Barbie dolls were not necessarily meant to be used as objects of sexual experimentation — but that didn’t stop me when I was 10 years old.”

- Rolling Stone uncloaked Jim McBride’s Mr. Skin website in a piece published today about the empire built, literally, on the naked backs (and fronts) of celebs. “Not Safe for Work: How Hollywood Helped Mr. Skin Become a Porn Empire” traces the site back to its humble beginnings in 1999 to its current mainstream Hollywood acceptance under what founder McBride calls the “Golden Age of celebrity nudity.”

- “Right away, we might be reminded of Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow, in which Tyrone Slothrop may or may not have been secretly conditioned to get an erection every time a V-2 rocket is about to strike London. Yet to find more patients for Tausk, we don’t need to look to fiction. “At first I believed they could only terminate my erection, but recently I also started believing that they could create my erection,” writes the author of a recent blog about electromagnetic persecution by the government.”

- Online retail for sex toys in India is apparently starting to take off. “This may be the best kept secret of India’s $2 billion e-commerce story. The country’s middle class has found in it a platform that satiates their sexual desires and fantasies in ways that weren’t possible before.”
