I read Dr. Glickman’s blog post the other day and giggled.
Ever since having a conversation with a dear friend about the Palin porn he envisioned (filed under MILF of course) I’ve been waiting for the industry to pony up and release a Palin-inspired title. And after watching last night’s debate… I was hoping somebody would [...]
The Village Voice recently fired “Pucker Up” sex columnist Tristan Taormino, according to Hamilton Nolan of Gawker. Tristan had been with the publication nine years. Only months ago, the Voice also fired “Lusty Lady” columnist Rachel Kramer Bussel. Gawker kept us up to date on that as well thanks to Emily Gould. Let’s see… what [...]
Who said politics weren’t sexy? Proposition K is in the running this election for San Francisco, which if passed will decriminalize prostitution. The SF Chronicle ran this recent Op-Ed article “Decriminalize Prostitution – Vote YES on Prop K” which sites a number of reasons why “Clearly, the policing of sex work is problematic.”

We here at Goodvibes have loved the Ramp for years so it’s great to see it finally hit the big screen! Not to say this is a 15 minutes of fame… oh, no…. this bedroom device gets around… and the world is better for it!
New York, NY (September 12, 2008) – As federal marshal [...]
A man went over to his girl’s place for a little bit of nookie between the sheets. He presented her with three choices of condom — gold, silver, or bronze.
“Silver,” she said.
“Why not gold?” he asked.
“Because I want you to come second for once!”
(You may benefit from adding this at the end.)
I just saw this article posted on AVN.com. What a fantastic mainstream recognition that safer sex can be great sex! In addition to all of the other amenities provided to the athletes it’s awesome to know that condoms and safer sex are also valued. Not to say the reasoning (see “embarrassment” quote below) is always [...]
Yes! Apparently a Sweden sex toy company pharmacy that sells sex toys [Thanks Anne!] has been charged with discriminating against men and placing a double-standard, where they give a “misguided and untrue view on sexuality where a woman with a dildo is seen as liberated, strong and independent, whereas a man with a blow up [...]
Oh boy! It’s time for the Olympics again – I think of it as a time of gratitude. Usually I take this time to reflect on how grateful I am that San Francisco didn’t get chosen as the site for the Olympics, because I like to keep my daily commute to under three hours each [...]
Walking to work I saw paper after paper, national and local, touting the good news that gay marriage is now officially legal in California. The historic coupling of Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin was San Francisco’s first to be married after being together for over 50 years… honestly it brought tears to my eyes. Not [...]
How does that song go? … “Sistas are doing it for themselves…”
Well, they are. Giana Taylor, founder of the 1st Annual Urban Spice Awards is recognizing adult industry talent who usually only get their for nods in the “Best Ethnic” categories. Shafted (literally?!) by award after award, this Sunday’s award ceremony brings some [...]
I grew up watching Star Trek. Every week, I’d be sitting on the couch, waiting to find out what new adventures the crew of the Enterprise were up to. (And while I’m in a true confessions moment, I’ll also say that the Muppet Show was on right afterwards, which made Sunday nights extra cool.)
I always [...]
Webmasters, hold down your forts. Nina Hartley, empowered cherished sex educator and pornstar, has just had her site www.nina.com hacked… by whom, it’s not sure. At least not worth mentioning here. (Shudder…)
Investigation is underway. In the meantime, let’s all do a backup, shall we?
AVN gives Kudos to Sex Educators
This great article came out in AVN recently and I wanted to make sure our readers also got a chance to read it. Written by Jamye Waxman it gives a brief history of sex educators in our industry. It’s refreshing not only to see these people acknowledged but to see [...]
One of my reps just told me about this lawsuit and it serves as a reminder that the right to access pleasure products, book and DVDs is not actually a right… it is something that is constantly under attack and people in our industry and beyond are constantly having to fight for… read on.
Here’s the [...]

“For all those things that plug in that you can’t leave lying around your living room without eliciting some awkwardness, head to GOOD VIBRATIONS. The place is a pleasure Mecca, suited to give life to all of your fantasies, you dirty [...]
I guess this week’s sex-and-culture news has Oprah very excited: a fella is going to have a baby. I can’t keep up with Oprah, personally, so it falls to the Yahoo home page with the news bites on it to inform me of anything inevitable she does: bitch out a shady “memoirist,” cry when girls [...]

If you’re in San Francisco, be sure to catch Power & Passion now playing at the Roxie.
Directed by Wendy Slick and Emiko Omori, this film (some of which takes place at GV and using our vibes!) recounts the controversies about female orgasm, lots of history about societal attitudes about female pleasure, and how the medically [...]
The GayVN (much like parent AVN) recognizes outstanding titles in the Gay genre of Adult Films. Though this still means that Lesbian (read ‘Dyke’ not ‘girl/girl’ for the male gaze) and Trans (read FTM) films and studios continue to be underground, the event at least sheds some spotlight to the gay male pornographers, most of [...]
Inspired by Valentines romance, evolutionary biologist and author of Dr. Tatiana’s Sex Advice to All Creation: The Definitive Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex, Olivia Judson, reported in a New York Times Opinion A Tyrannical Romance about how dinosaurs mated. This is particularly interesting to anyone who is curious about specialized phallis, such are [...]
Yes, yes… It is that time of year again.
Time for what you say?
A Global Orgasm of course.
Last year, peace activists Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell took sex-positivity to a whole new level when, for the first time, they organized a global effort for people to climax simultaneously in protest of the growing prospect of war [...]

I know you haven’t heard from me in a while, and I suppose I owe you a “what I did on my summer vacation” post (partial report: I went to Scotland and looked out a window at a very green field filled with more sheep than I had seen since my sheep-filled childhood).
What, you didn’t [...]
If you’ve ever watched an erotic movie made in the last decade, or looked at porn on the internet, you’ve probably noticed a blurb about the fact that the movie or website contains sexually explicit images and that there are records being kept pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 2257 and C.F.R. 75 ar, along with the [...]
Gotta love wikipedia. If you’ve been following the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), proposed by US fed law that prohibits discrimination against all employees on the basis of sexual orientation, you know that the current debate is whether or not to include gender identity within the bill.
Basically, the deal is that there’s two versions of the [...]

Next Step: Good Vibrations Off-Site Sex Education and Active Senior Lifestyles
I have been working for Good Vibrations for over 3 years now and I was just thinking: I could never see myself working anywhere else. Where else can I talk openly about sex and vibrators while holding a dildo in my hand, or explain why anal sex is healthy and pleasurable—it’s all just another day [...]
