When Animal Porn is A-OK: “3 Cats, 1 Steak”

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video

On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments over a law banning video depictions of animal cruelty. The law was party inspired by the sensationalized “crush porn” craze. In crush porn, women stomp on small animals, in bare feet or in heels, in order for crush porn fetishists to get off.

Another Guy Into Guys Into Jockstraps

“What’s up guys?” writes the “very masculine” bisexual white male, before getting down to business:

“[I'm] looking for other masculine buds out there who wear jockstraps,” this Baltimore Craigslist poster writes (warning: possibly NSFW photos of dudes posing in jockstraps). The poster, who runs an amateur jockstrap photo blog, is looking for any guy “into showing-off and taking pics in their jocks,” including:

Name That Consent Porn!

Kids today are taking more sexual cues from Internet porn, GQ reports. Parents are frightened because their teenagers are gang-banging and ejaculating on each others’ faces. GQ is disappointed because its aged readership can’t get in on the fun. Personally, I’m pretty freaked out that “Travis and Cody, typical 21-year-old college students in Florida,” find female pubic hair “disgusting.” But more than pornography’s peculiar sexual obsessions—group sex, mandatory facials, and “porn-star trim” vaginas—I’m worried about what mainstream Internet porn almost never features: scenes of consent.

Diablo Cody on Megan Fox: Hollywood’s Most Hated Women, Together At Last

I was pleased to read Jessica Wakeman’s interview with Diablo Cody this morning, because it features Hollywood’s most hated woman talking about Hollywood’s other most hated woman—Megan Fox. The talking, incidentally, is a major source of the Cody-Fox hate fest. People hate Diablo Cody for talking about being an ex-stripper (above), a big part of her unlikely success story; people hate Megan Fox for talking about being a hot girl in movies. Cody has been talking a lot lately to promote her latest film, Jennifer’s Body, which stars Fox as a hot high school girl who eats boys. Let the hate-fest begin.

Sexist Beatdown: Palin Family Anecdote or “Paylin” Porn Plot? Edition

Listen up, teens: Guess what happens when you get teen pregnant, you’re not allowed to have a smushmortion, and you can’t figure out how to secretly swap your fetus into your mother’s aging but willing womb. Umm . . . you get rewarded with an eccentric celebrity handler and sexy undies shots in Vanity Fair? Oh ho no, honey, that’s what’s happens to the dude. What happens to you is you get to hold the dang thing throughout a couple of tortured appearances on a crazy middle-aged lady’s FOX News program, and then everyone makes fun of you for being a hypocrite because GOD, YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER EVEN HAD SEX. And then you have to raise it.

Did I mention your babby’s daddy got to do Tyra?

In this edition of Sexist Beatdown: Why Sady of Tiger Beatdown and I think that’s kind of fucked up, actually? BONUS: what to expect next in the SARAH PALYN SNOMOBLOWJOB TODD PALYN BAREBACK LEVI JOHNSON porn saga of the Palin family story, after the jump.

Robert McDonnell Thesis Introduces World to Radio Porn

The recently-unearthed graduate thesis of Virginia Gubernatorial candidate Robert McDonnell is a treasure trove of Reagan-era Republican gems [PDF]. The paper’s sexism and homophobia has gotten the most play in the press—us feminists even get a few shout-outs!—but my favorite part is McDonnell’s paranoid pornographic theory:

Aww, I miss the ’80s, when the media pumped a veritable sea of licentiousness into American ears through the radio waves instead of this half-assed T-Pain shit. Also: He’s talking about Prince, right?

The Bob Haircut: Secret Sex Fetish Favored By Prostitutes

So, I’m growing my hair out, and I thought I’d shoot for a bob—jaw length with a fringe. Foolishly, I turned to the Internet for inspiration, and instantly stumbled upon “The Bob Haircut Pages.” This portfolio of short, banged haircuts begins innocently enough. And then devolves into some dude’s hair porn collection.

“Through another picture series I want to take a view on the more sexy side of the pageboy,” wrote Hair Porn Dude, as the tone switched from style advice to sexy time. “As this WWW pages do and will not contain any nudity, the pictures do not show it, but you can imagine where they came from. ;-)

He then goes on to say that if you cut your hair into a bob, you will likely be associated with prostitution (it’s a good thing): “There are so many erotic aspects of this haircut—a lot of men love it and some women already know that. The professionals seem to know even better than the usual ones—they know how to attract and they dare to look that way, where so many others are still too afraid to try. (don’t you also associate a prostitute with a pageboy cut, and don`t many films show one with that haircut?)”

What’s creepier: the smiley emoticon, or the sorting of women into”prostitutes” and “usual ones”? But on to the sexy photos:

Semen Facials Are Like Weddings

Last week, The Frisky writer Jessica Wakeman stood up in defense of the facial. Wakeman argued that the old porn standby—whereby a man ejaculates onto a woman’s face—isn’t inherently demeaning, as long the woman wants it. “In some porn films, the facial is played up to emphasize his humiliation of and domination of her, but in other porn flicks, the money shot is just something the actors do,” she wrote. “In real life, I suspect facials happen more for pleasure than for humiliation, seeing as women have a little thing called self-respect.”

But Wakeman errs in her either/or assumption about the sex act: that facials are either grounded in mutual respect, and elicit pleasure, or are grounded in degradation, and elicit humiliation. In fact, facials can imply all of these things, though we rarely analyze it all in the moment. Plenty of sex acts made popular in mainstream pornography, like facials, are based on achieving male pleasure. Under this model, the female’s pleasure is derived by successfully pleasing the male—and in the process, allowing herself to be degraded. As Amanda Marcotte writes, “our culture constructs sex as something women do for men, and men do for fun.” That model of sexuality is undoubtedly objectifying for women. But it nevertheless—voilà!—conjures up an idea of “pleasure” for both sex partners.

MVC Late Night Video Sees the Light of Day

MVC, pre-makeover

MVC, pre-makeover

Until very recently, motorists traveling along Leesburg Pike in Falls Church and shoppers at MVC Late Night Video, a sex shop that sits on that road’s busiest stretch, were blissfully unaware of each other.

Thanks to thick black tint that darkened MVC’s large front windows, folks looking for the latest adult DVDs, magazines, and sex toys could browse without fear of someone they know driving by and seeing them. Drivers could chug right past the nondescript building and pretend the place was just a regular ol’ video store that happened to stay open very, very late.

But a couple of months ago, the tint came off, and all of that changed. Drive by MVC today, and you’ll see a clear window filled with mannequins dressed in lingerie, as well as rows and rows of DVDs. The store is separated from the street by a small service road, so you won’t get close enough to get a good look at the cover of, say, Team Squirt #10, but you might be able to make out the face of the person thinking about buying it.
