Good Vibrations Magazine Jimmy Inside Me

I am a storyteller. I am a hustler, a wordsmith, a magic-maker, a shape-shifter, the boy next door. I’m not ugly or stupid and I know it.
Jimmy is HIV positive. He shares my daddy’s name and lives in the Castro. He offers me a beer, sits on a leather couch facing [...]

Devil’s Dictionary III»

Another set of definitions for your reading pleasure. “Mercury in Retrograde, phrase. An astrological term denoting the four times a year when everything is going to hell but it’s not your fault; it’s because Mercury is going backwards. The relief one feels at this news lightens the heart and makes one happy to pay the bearer of the news.”

Continuing Adventures with Dominic and Reynaldo»

In the end it’s all about walking around with your cock out. That’s what this Burning Man was about. And I think it saved me.
It all began when I swung my leg over my bike. I heard a small tear happen in the crotch of my very thin, very favorite pants. Whatev, it’s Burning Man. [...]

Mudrās for Masturbation»

How could a ritual hand sign add sparks to your orgasm? It turns out that the 108 mudrās of Buddhism and Hinduism are an ancient form of electrical engineering. When you extend a finger, it’s like raising an antenna. When you join two fingers, you’re completing a circuit within your bio-electrical field. Add your genitals into the equation to create a “ground”—an absorber of unlimited amounts of current.

Chapter One Day One: Porno Angels»

Our film for the Good Vibrations IXFF (Independent Film Festival) has been submitted, and now I feel like I can tell you all about it.
The shoot was one of the best experiences I have had in a long time, an experience I am still trying to analyze and digest. Often I get approached to work [...]

Librarian’s Glasses»

My favorite online crush likes pictures and I like showing him my ass… it’s a good fit. Sometimes there are requests, sometimes just whims. He likes stockings. So with him in mind, Sunday night before going out I set the camera up to take shots of me getting ready–my ass, tits, legs, big thighs. Shots [...]

Phish: A Most Un-sexual Experience»

Prince is on the left, right below penis. (The P in Prince actually stands for penis.) I saw him at Madison Square Garden once. He spent two hours teasing the audience with the opening piano bars of Darling Nikki before actually playing it: one man, 20,000 people, two hours of foreplay and the world’s largest simultaneous orgasm.

Bad Sex in Fiction»

Anyone who has read smut knows that there’s a lot of bad sex in fiction. After all, it’s not easy to come up with a new way to describe something that has been written about so many times. But some examples are worse than others and if you want a fun read, [...]


Sex Educator Profiles: Megan Andelloux»

What led you to become a Sex Educator?
3 reasons.
1.  I kept hearing people ask the same questions about sexuality but it always seemed like there was shame behind the questions.  I couldn’t understand how a culture could create an entire population to be ignorant and feel bad about the same things.  I wanted to change [...]


Geeking Out About Sex»

I really like it when people publish interesting science articles about sex. As much as we think we know about it, there’s always something new to learn. So put your sex geek hat on!
First, back in 1999, BMJ.com (originally the British Medical Journal) posted an article showing an MRI scan of penis-vagina intercourse. Up until [...]

Sex Educator Profiles: Becca Brewer»

What led you to become a Sex Educator?
A mixture of circumstance and fate, really. I was attending UC Berkeley as an undeclared undergrad. I was thinking about Political Science so that I could move on to become a lawyer. After realizing Political Science did not interest me in any way, I was feeling pretty lost [...]


Toys that Look like Cartoons»

There are so many toys which resemble cartoons. Non-realistic vibrators with heads like dolphins, bodies like bears, kitties, or bunnies, and of course the Duckie.
There’s a “What’s Your Favorite” game going on over on our Facebook Page. Today’s game is “What’s Your Favorite Head“?
From realistic to abstractly rounded, there’s a variety of shapes that may [...]


Sex Educator Profiles: Sarah Sloane»

What led you to become a Sex Educator?
Initially it was because of the men in the leather club that I pledged; they impressed upon me the need for everyone in the community to give something back, and they asked me to teach them what I knew about knife play; I found out after doing a [...]

The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization has had a team working on an amazing document called the Review of Sex, Relationships and HIV Education in Schools for the last two years. The document was scheduled to be released this week, and unsurprisingly, it has been delayed due to sex-negative complaints.
So I decided to [...]
