Recently, I read an article discussing whether or not gender equality had changed the rules on who should pay on a date. Like the author, I also grew up thinking that when I was older and dating, the man would automatically pay for the first date, and probably any future dates.

Given pole-dance aerobics mania and how many times we’ve heard the “what would you dance to” question, it seems being a stripper has become a common female fantasy.

Given the seriousness I’ve seen this question approached with, it seems many women have pondered this — the popularity of pole dancer-cizing would attest to this as well. Stripping seems to have become a common female fantasy.

To others, it's an exploration of how strong the bonds of friendship can become. And for still more viewers, it's the fun of watching guys constantly engage in behavior that can be read as strongly homoerotic.

What’s most interesting about the sex trade in Game of Thrones, however, is who it ultimately exploits and weakens.

Slavering.

Things that look human but aren’t, are creepy. Or loveable, depending on your capacity for anthromorphism. Or beautiful, depending on your aesthetic. Or perhaps a bit of all three at once, which explains the American public’s conflicted fascination with life-sized sex dolls and even the first impressions of doll users themselves.

Technology and porn have always been butt buddies, but the most prudish mobile device out there is the one in everyone’s pocket. The iPhone acts like your paranoid Aunt Marge when it comes to sexy apps, even though its own browser puts the World Wide Wank at your fingertips. How did we get here, and what does it mean for the future of digital sex?

There is a thriving trade here in this whimsical Arizona desert town, an otherworldly place of nearly supernatural beauty. Towering crimson cliffs and blood-red buttes stand sentinel over the errant souls who have been seduced by Sedona’s mystical allure, but few know its well-kept secret. Sex for salvation is nothing new, but here it has become a craft.

In fiction, you get to push the envelope—and whether that's testing the waters of polyamory or having an affair—the chickens don't come home to roost in real life. That's what happens when art imitates life, but when life imitates art? That is an entirely different thing altogether.

Paul Krassner is a writer, agitator, humorist and social watchdog extraordinaire. Where the establishment is matter, Krassner is antimatter. He speaks with the voice and the conscience of a generation who knew better than to trust the status quo. His message of thoughtful rebellion is as timely now as it was in the ’60s… perhaps even more.

Today, expressions of sex positivity, acceptance, and celebration of every gender and lifestyle are part of the fabric of modern society, but it wasn’t all that long ago being different often meant not having a voice to speak in public, much less sing.

In 1978’s The History of Sexuality, Michel Foucault coined the phrase “Ars Erotica” (a.k.a. “the Art of Pleasure”) to differentiate between the “Eastern perception of sex as an art form” and “the Western approach of laboratory and statistical.” Erotica, as old as the human race itself, has evolved on a parallel course, and like the society from which it springs, continues to be a work in progress.

Most science reporters aren’t scientists; they’re talking heads hungry for site hits, ratings, readership and ad revenue. Even reputable journalists sometimes jump the gun when groundbreaking developments fall into their laps. How the media’s rush to scoop the competition promotes dangerously incomplete data as truth, and puts the public at risk.

For more than five years, my working life revolved around framing acts of public copulation. I’ve pushed cameras and microphones into dwellings no machines should ever go. I’ve been granted a front-row seat to scenes of startling intimacy. I’ve helped pick up thousands of used baby-wipes. And somewhere along the line, I learned a lot about how men and women perceive each other.

Back in the antediluvian days before the modern archetype of strippers we’ve come to know and yawn at—naked chicks sporting eight-inch Lucite stiletto pumps and bored expressions, humping firehouse poles for the likes of Tony Soprano e famiglia at Bada Bing—those who shed their clothes onstage for a living were part of a glorious, albeit infamous, tradition known as Burlesque.

But are our lightning-fast Internet connections really helping us do sex better, faster, and more efficiently?

Fight Club. Rugby. MMA. Let’s face it—we live in a society where it’s okay to be physically combative in a competition for superiority. But what happens when the fighting takes on an overtly kinky overtone? You’ve got what some refer to as Rough Body Play, or “Thug Play”—an old fashioned beatdown, not to the death, but until someone gets tired or cries “uncle.”

When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle penned the first Sherlock Holmes story in 1887, he had no idea he was breathing life into what would eventually become the greatest crime-fighting franchise in history. Neither did Doyle realize he’d inadvertently sparked one of the most enduring debates of modern literature—the question of the Great Detective’s sexuality.

Pilots are working longer hours for 50% pay; 127 banks have failed. But are industries we previously thought to be recession-proof feeling the punch too? If porno fails, says the soothsayer, the nation fails…
