MTV Gets Candid about Sex, Love, and Relationships with Fatman Scoop and Shanda’s “Man and Wife”

By Kuono • Sep 23rd, 2008 • Category: POC, Sex Positivity, pop culture, video clips

I’m a fan of “Man and Wife”, a regular webisode (www.manandwife.tv) hosted by two-time Grammy Winner Fatman Scoop and his beautiful and smart-as-hell sweetie Shanda.
Special Note: While the gender bender in me wants to say “Man and Wife?” what’s up with that?! Shouldn’t it be “Man and Woman” or “Husband and Wife”… you know… it [...]



A-Listers and Top Sellers go hand-in-hand

By Misty • Sep 17th, 2008 • Category: In the News, Toy Reviews, pop culture

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 [...]



We’re glad to have you back where you belong, WALL•E!

By smartyboots • Aug 20th, 2008 • Category: Trans Sexuality, pop culture

Check out Kate Bornstein’s great post on robots and gender in WALL•E.
I’m completely smitten with WALL•E, this summer’s Pixar/Disney offering. But the last thing I expected to see in my friendly, heterosexual upper east side Manhattan neighborhood movie theater was a feature length cartoon about a pair of lesbian robots who fall madly in love [...]



Small Favors reviewed at Pulp Secret

By smartyboots • Aug 13th, 2008 • Category: Books & Videos, pop culture

Those lovable goofballs over at Pulp Secret comic podcast reviewed Small Favors: Girly Porno Comic Collection by Colleen Coover (also the author and artist of the cleverly titled Small Favors 2). Of course, they loved it, because it is awesome. Small Favors is the second book reviewed in the episode below (about three minutes in):

Pride Shout Out

By Kuono • Jun 30th, 2008 • Category: Events, Politics, pop culture

This weekend San Francisco was literally shaking with Pride. From recent lifting of the Marriage Ban (read about the struggles and slow triumphs of a similar marriage ban such as the history of Anti-Miscegenation laws), to powerful political urges still fighting for justice — for example, the TransMarch focus this Pride was for a transgender-inclusive [...]



Mr. Sulu’s wedding

By Dr. Charlie Glickman • May 22nd, 2008 • Category: In the News, Sex Positivity, pop culture

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 [...]



Save The Date – Barry the Beaver Vibrator!

By Misty • May 6th, 2008 • Category: Company Announcements, Events, Sex Positivity, humor, pop culture

Good Vibrations tends to have a lot of in-store events. Whether it’s an After Hours Class, erotica reading, how-to, product launch etc… we like bringing folks into our stores for eats and treats. And we always hope people leave a little happier whether it’s from the information they learned or from the [...]



The Classics

By smartyboots • Apr 4th, 2008 • Category: Sex Positivity, pop culture, video clips

Okay, first you have to watch the video. It’s okay, I’ll wait…

You know what I like about this clip? Even though the joke is supposed to be “heh heh horny old ladies”, Bea Arthur, Charlotte Rae and Katherine Helmond totally OWN that tired premise and make it awesome. (The less said of Sally Struthers [...]



Continuing Education

By smartyboots • Mar 24th, 2008 • Category: Trans Sexuality, pop culture, video clips

Oh internet, is there nothing you can’t do? You bring me funny cat pictures and restaurant recommendations, allow me to download old Kelly Hogan albums, and now you offer me the opportunity to get schooled by Calpernia Addams, who is apparently on the tv machine!

No, seriously, you need this. If you haven’t been around [...]



The L-Word : L is for Lube!

By Kuono • Mar 17th, 2008 • Category: G-Spot, Sex Positivity, lube, pop culture, video clips

“I feel like I’m going to Giddy Up…” giggles Nikki Stevens, starlet of La Girls on a recent episode of the L Word.
Yes, the L Word. Despite what you like or don’t like about Jenny… or the series in general… there are millions of L Word fans. Including my straight roommates who ADORE the show [...]



LOST Pornography Training Film

By Kuono • Feb 21st, 2008 • Category: Porn, pop culture

Call me a dork… (if that’s your thing.)
If you’re a fan of ABC’s “LOST”, this may be a spoiler. A friend just passed this LOST Pornography Training Film along to me. It poses several enlightening questions that the series fails to answer. Such as, who owns the island? (Apparently, it was purchased by kink.com! Ha!) [...]



Do You Take It (in the ass?)

By Kuono • Jan 18th, 2008 • Category: Sex Positivity, p-spot, pop culture

Today I got an email with a link to YouTube, from a friend that said,
“Ummm DON’t watch if your boss is within earshot/eyeshot. just FYI.”
Who’s she kidding? I’m working at GV! I open the link and watch a lovely, funny, educational, and damn good song by The Wet Spots (also one of Carol Queen’s favorite [...]



spam erotica: a spermy parte actually

By Kuono • Dec 17th, 2007 • Category: Erotica, pop culture

I just love some of the spam that comes in through the filters… this really great one is an erotic story about a young nephew, Jason, and a certain rendezvous with Kath’s EMI Trainer… hot! Introducing the first in the series of spam erotica…

Bibles and “Sex Kits”

By Red Delicious • Nov 15th, 2007 • Category: Politics, pop culture

I’m on a mailing list for “Alerts” from the American Family Association.  It’s a bit oxymoronic, but every so often the AFA sends out an alert that just tickles me pink.  Usually I get notes asking for me to take action when companies air “offensive” commercials or when previously accountable politicians veer too far from [...]



Retrosexual

By Harlequinn • Nov 10th, 2007 • Category: Porn, Sex Positivity, pop culture

I enjoy my process of self-dissection.
(This is not to say that I am sitting in my room listening to angst filled Emo music dragging razorblades across parts of my anatomy. Cutting is both disturbing and foolish, and if it is something that anyone out there is engaging in, stop it immediately and seek help. [...]



Oh Tila!!!

By Red Delicious • Nov 2nd, 2007 • Category: Books & Videos, Sex Positivity, pop culture

Of recent I have found myself watching much more television than usual and among the mixture of quality and crap that’s been seeping into my brain has been a series of celebrity dating shows. Oh Flava Flav, Bret Michaels, New York, you all pull me into your love-lacking lives so effortlessly. But when [...]

I think I just found my new friend.



Auto Phone Sex

By Kuono • Nov 1st, 2007 • Category: pop culture

Just when we thought Phone Sex Parodies got enough play… Stuckey & Murray, two left-handed musicians turned comedians, give us another.
Now whenever I get stuck on auto-phone-hell, I can at least think about Pearl Necklaces.

sex toys in the Harry Potter world

By Dr. Charlie Glickman • Oct 29th, 2007 • Category: Books & Videos, pop culture

By now, I’m sure that most of you have heard the news that J.K. Rowling announced that Dumbledore is gay. And I don’t see any reason to write about that, other than to wonder what he wears under those wizarding robes. Chaps and a chest harness? Silver lame and heels? We may never know.
But it [...]



Jackie Beats is at it again

Apparently I just can’t get enough of Jackie Beats… (of the band Dirty Sanchez).
Check out this music video by Austin Young, “Beaver”…
