- One of the detrimental truths about Silicon Valley is that while the sex industry is enormously lucrative, it’s ghettoized to the point where it’s totally separate from the tech world at large. But the gap is being gently bridged thanks to Snapchat’s launch of Snapcash, its new money-sending service.

- Nearly every two days, a person is killed somewhere in the world for expressing gender nonconformity. As the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance approaches each November 20, the list of the dead who vigilgoers will memorialize steadily grows, filled especially with the names of trans women of color. (My sister and auntie are trans women of color.)

- This Change.org petition calls out matriarch Michelle Duggar for participating in a robocall campaign against a bill that combats discrimination against LGBT residents in her home state of Arkansas. In the robocall, Duggar specifically attacks transgender individuals, saying the bill “would allow men — yes, I said men — to use women’s and girls’ restrooms, locker rooms, showers, sleeping areas and other areas that are designated for females only,” and that some of them would be “males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female.”

- Scientific discovery mingles with stimulation in Britain’s first exhibition about the study of sex, with pioneering sex aids, ancient phallic charms and even a chair credited with inducing orgasms. “The Institute of Sexology — Undress Your Mind” exhibition is named in honour of Magnus Hirschfeld’s research centre of the same name, whose immense archive of sexual research flourished in Berlin during the Weimar Republic.

- A chart from Max Einstein’s Data Looks Dope reveals the top 500 video tags in porn. The data comes from Xvideos’ 500 most used tags. The idea is simple, if there are a lot of tags, it’s assumed there’s a lot of demand. (However, that assumption relies on whether or not they are user-created tags, or distributor-assigned tags. A longstanding failing of the porn industry understanding its own viewers is deciding, rather than crowdsourcing, demand.)

- Would it surprise you to learn that most bros’ awful Tinder pick-up lines aren’t exactly original? On forums across the Web devoted to guns, shoes, pick-up artistry, and bodybuilding, Tinder bros are crowdsourcing the most dumbfounding opening lines they can Google.

- Sex doesn’t sell, so forget the boudoir shot. Blondes don’t work. Props distract. Couches are fine. Playing with hair is ideal. Those are some of the insights the lingerie company Adore Me has learned from testing the photos of models wearing its sexy products online.

- This is GOLD. “Dear Straight People (…) You know that sense of discomfort and alienation that you sometimes feel in our bars? That’s how we feel in virtually every social space we go to, so please do not begrudge us this one public place on Earth where we can pay for the “privilege” to hit on, dance with, and make out with people we actually find attractive without watching our backs.”
