If you loved Secretary, our new collection will make you purr: Bent Over His Desk: Hot Office Kink ($4.49).
- Violence warning: An unnamed sex worker in Charleston, West Virginia, has become a hero in a particularly awful way. A serial killer who focused exclusively on sex workers contracted her for an incall; when he attempted to kill her, she shot him with his own gun during a struggle in which she fought for her life. When police arrived, they found an extensive “kill kit” in the trunk of his car, a long list of Backpage-listed sex workers. In the trunk were knives, a shovel, a machete, several axes, a sledgehammer, a pair of hiking boots covered in dirt, trash bags, and cleaning supplies.

- Since the 2010 closure of Craigslist’s adult services section and the FBI seizure of MyRedbook in June of last year (both of which allowed providers to list ads for free) Backpage has been the most affordable option to advertise for adult services, allowing providers to post ads for as little as a few dollars.

- Millions of sex workers in India this week anxiously waited for the country’s highest court to hand down a ruling which they hope will finally clarify the profession’s legal status. Sex workers are hoping the Supreme Court’s ruling will force the government to decriminalise the industry. They say they are tired of being randomly targeted by police and sent to correction homes where they say conditions are worse than jails.

- Patent trolls are so prolific these days that you don’t really need to be successful to draw lawsuits. Case in point, a recently formed California company called TZU Technologies is demanding cash from six different players in the “virtual sex” industry — which barely even exists.

- Warning for victims of sexual abuse and trauma: Despite 64 victims coming forward — and despite enlisting one of the most powerful and well-known lawyers in the country — the group of men and women who came together decades after their abuse to seek solace, justice, and compensation were rewarded instead with a fresh and protracted trauma.

- Magic Mike XXL apparently left Bustle with a lot of confusing new feels. Chief among them [for Bustle] was wondering if exotic dance and/or porn conventions open to the public really existed. Seriously?

- A 1991 study of professional musicians and non-musicians, for instance, found that around half of all the respondents experienced trembling, flushing and sweating, and sexual arousal in response to their favourite music, as well as that familiar feeling of a shiver down the spine. Such varied and potent experiences may explain the origins of the term “skin orgasm”, and indeed, many cultures openly recognise the similarities.

- Cosmopolitan has a piece on what it thinks are the best porn sites for women — and they get justifiably ripped to pieces in the comments for not doing their homework. The good news? A few great sites square in the ‘hot porn for women’ category — Bright Desire, XConfessions, Pink Label TV, and Beautiful Agony — are featured on the list. (I have a list, too!)
