When SF Weekly attacked Kink.com and consensual BDSM in a manner worthy of National Enquirer, they did not expect a major community outcry. However, San Francisco’s BDSM community is not used to taking things laying down (more…)
The dust is slowly settling, and Craigslist is once again filled with adult ads… in the new Adult Services categories. Now that the category ads are eyeballed and manually approved, most of them are offering “massage” (no surprise there).
Craiglist has also filed a suit against the publicity loving South Carolina Attorney General who wouldn’t stop harassing the site. In a classic Bush Junior move, Att. Gen. (who hopes to run for a Governor Real Soon), has in return called for a press conference, declared “MIssion Accomplished“, and quietly folded. Presumably, to find other targets who won’t fight back.
This soap opera has shook the adult service world, and I’ve received a lot of questions about other adult classifieds sites ladies can advertise on instead. Here’s a little list that works- (more…)
Today, Craigslist announced closing of its Erotic Services section, finally bowing to the media and politician feeding frenzy related to the murder of Julissa Brisman, a sensual masseuse advertising her services in the Craigslist’s naughty neighborhood.
I say “related”, not “caused”, because the “Craigslist Killer” case was simply an excuse to raise a few network’s ratings and increase the popular appeal of a certain camera-loving Attorney General. Sex, murder and a moral crusade - oh, how we Americans love that golden (ka-ching!) combination. (more…)
The good ole Catholic guilt has been replaced with Green guilt. Yes, even in the bedroom (or wherever else you choose to practice your vices). You replaced all of your old sex toys with a healthy phthalate-free version. Glass dildoes glitter in your toy-box, and the wholesome all natural water based lube sits on your bed stand.
Yet, just like the ghost of that secret McDonald’s burger you snarfed a few days back, your old sex toys lurk in the back of the closet. What to do? You can just imagine the garbage man accidentaly ripping the trash bag right at your front door. Or the decades long poisonous meltdown in a local landfill. Do vibrators go critical at a certain density? Considering all the exotic materials we were blightly sticking up our tender places for the past 20 years or so, you’re at least bound to cost some poor amphibian an involuntary gender reassignment.
Dreamscape’s got your back, environmentally conscious sex fiends (I’m talking to you, San Francisco)! We finally have a way to sin and be saved - www.recycleyoursextoy.com. Send in your used (and washed, for Pete’s sake) sex toys to be recycled, and you not only help Momma Earth stay pure(r), but also get a $10 gift card towards your new sex toy.
Extra, extra, read all about it : “California’s government has been subsidizing torture-based pornography”!
Take lurid imagery of young, naked, helpless women being forced into electrocution, whipping and public degradation, add an occasional Abu Grahib reference, throw in an “expert” opinion by a lone San Francisco shrink who still thinks that BDSM equals Nazi camps, and what do you get? (more…)
Update: Got the discount extended till Apr. 26th. Whoohoo! Just enter code LVNG while registering.
Just like during the dot-com bust, the ongoing recession has dried up the market for live adult entertainment in the Bay Area more than anywhere else… Many escorts and exotic dancers are looking to cast their net further - some travel to the greener pastures around the country, others have turned to the Internet, becoming webcam models or building their own pay sites.
But where’s a girl (or boy, or t-girl) to get educated on how to make it in this new market? We in the Bay Area now have a unique chance to learn it from the pros!
The annual Cybernet Expo, run by the Adult Internet giant Ynot.com has picked San Francisco for its July event. Early birds get a great discount on passes, and Lovings.com has secured an extra discount for our friends - Save $125 off at-the-door price; but you have to get in touch NOW, it’s only good till April 15th!

Web is atwitter with the newest outrage in the battle with censorship - the bookseller giant Amazon has tipped the scales between the free speech and corporate interest this weekend.
The rankings have been stripped from many adult and some non-adult books (like “Heather Has Two Mommies”), mostly gay and lesbian, making them harder or impossible to find in search results. A robot glitch? A deliberate policy change? We won’t know until Monday, but some of the authors of adult books have gotten a response that Amazon intends to deliberately throttle “adult” authors.
The highly disproportionate number of LGBT titles, even bestsellers, that got caught in the ‘net makes what’s happening even more troublesome. (more…)
You know how every big and little town tries to close adult businesses because of the “crime they bring to the neighborhood”? Well, once and for all, the facts show it was about bare tits after all. (more…)
Calling Fleshlite a masturbation sleeve is like calling Grand Canyon a hole in the ground. According to its makers, it’s the most sold sex toy for men, ever (though now that the straight boys have discovered their bottoms, I suspect that the butt plugs & anal vibrators are catching up fast). (more…)
What did it take to go to jail and be fined a minimum of $50,000 per day ? Show bare breasts, or write about playing with them on the Internet. Or, provide medical info for free. Where, in Iran? Nope, right here in the US - until Wednesday. (more…)
