SCHENECTADY, New York – I suppose the real question is whether taking a person’s job counts as “injuring” a human. If so, so long as sex robots are designed in accordance with the Three Laws of Robotics, Ela Darling and her peers needn’t worry about being replaced by them. “Sex...

LONGBOAT KEY, Fla. – My name is Ben, and I’m a selective Luddite. I love the internet, but I avoid approximately 99.999999 percent of it, for instance. I avoid so much of the web, in part, because the idea of watching people unwrap packages sounds like the dumbest possible way to...

HOUSTON – When I sat down to write this post, the working title was “Celeb Sex Tapes Just Ain’t What They Used to Be.” After thinking about it for a minute though, I realized it isn’t the tapes that have changed — it’s me. Admittedly, I’ve never been a big fan of...

LOS ANGELES – I learned several things in reading a recent Glamour article about the unfortunate demise of the BBW Performer of the Year AVN Award – including the fact there’s such a thing as a “prestigious” porn awards show, apparently. More importantly, I learned if you want to...

TAMPA, Fla. – Following in the footsteps of other legislatures around the country, Florida is now considering a resolution which would declare pornography a “public health crisis.” The language of the resolution, HR 157, is virtually identical to that of the other states which...

CARTAGENA – When I was kid, soccer was pegged by many people as America’s fastest growing sport. In terms of creating a favorable impression among the girls at school though, I couldn’t help but notice soccer players ranked somewhere in between the junior-varsity football team’s...

LAGOS, Nigeria – It often seems to me that for as long as there has been something which could reasonably be called the “adult entertainment industry,” there has been rampant exaggeration about the industry, from both the inside and outside of the porn business. If you’ve ever...
