Dictionaries have been removed from classrooms in southern California schools after a parent complained about a child reading the definition for “oral sex“.
Merriam Webster’s 10th edition, which has been used for the past few years in fourth and fifth grade classrooms (for children aged nine to 10) in Menifee Union school district, has been pulled from shelves over fears that the “sexually graphic” entry is “just not age appropriate”, according to the area’s local paper.
The dictionary’s online definition of the term is “oral stimulation of the genitals”. “It’s hard to sit and read the dictionary, but we’ll be looking to find other things of a graphic nature,” district spokeswoman Betti Cadmus told the paper.
While some parents have praised the move – “[it's] a prestigious dictionary that’s used in the Riverside County spelling bee, but I also imagine there are words in there of concern,” said Randy Freeman – others have raised concerns. “It is not such a bad thing for a kid to have the wherewithal to go and look up a word he may have even heard on the playground,” father Jason Rogers told local press. “You have to draw the line somewhere. What are they going to do next, pull encyclopaedias because they list parts of the human anatomy like the penis and vagina?”
A panel is now reviewing whether the Menifee ban will be made permanent. The Merriam Webster dictionary joins an illustrious set of books that have been banned or challenged in the US, including Nobel prize winner Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon, which last year was suspended from and then reinstated to the curriculum at a Michigan school after complaints from parents about its coverage of graphic sex and violence, and titles by Khaled Hosseini and Philip Pullman, included in the American Library Association’s list of books that inspired most complaints last year.

According to Scientific American magazine, more than 90 percent of people lie in their online dating profiles. Women in their 20s and 30s slyly deduct anywhere from five to 20 lbs. from their weight, while men tend to lie about income, education level and, yes, relationship status. Yikes.
Here, we count the ways regular folks get creative while creating sexier versions of themselves online.
FIB #1: “I’m slim and petite” or “Tall and well-built”
Translation: “I was slim and petite or tall and well-built 15 years ago. I haven’t accepted the fact that I’m no longer a skinny, sexy young thing, and I know that potential dates won’t accept it either, so I take liberties with my self-description and hope you won’t notice the additional 20+ lbs. of jelly I’ve accumulated since the days when my profile photos were taken.”
FIB #2: “I’m tall, dark and handsome.”
Translation: “I’m average in height, looks and style. Simply … average. Nothing more, nothing less.”
Yup — according to Medical News Today, 52.6 percent of men lie about their height online; 39 percent of women do the same. So if you’re expecting someone tall, dark and handsome, think again. When it comes to internet dating, you’re lucky if your date shows up with a couple of hands and a tongue.
FIB #3: “I’m 29.”
Translation: “I’m an old pro at sites like these, and I know that lowering my age to under-30 will help me turn up in more people’s searches. In reality, I’m getting really effing sick of not having any effing luck on these effing websites and, oh yeah, I’m anywhere between the ages of 35 and 50.”
FIB #4: “As the CEO of a successful internet start-up, I enjoy the finer things in life.”
Translation: “As the founder of a bare-bones mail order business that I run out of my mother’s basement, I enjoy spending every waking second of my time on the internet, watching porn, gambling, and living vicariously through my avatar on SecondLife.com.”
FIB #5: “I’m sensitive, smart and funny.”
Translation: “I’m hyper-sensitive, a pretentious wannabe-intellectual and I just might have Tourette’s syndrome, which makes people laugh sometimes. DICKWEED!”
FIB #6: “I make more than $250,000 per year.”
Translation: “I have grandiose fantasies of winning the lottery or striking gold with an internet porn empire … but for now, to make ends meet, I’m your friendly neighborhood manager at Walgreens.”
Salary is one of the biggest things people — especially men — lie about in their profiles. According to Scientific American, men claiming incomes of more than $250,000 got 151 percent more replies than men claiming incomes less than $50,000. Ugh.
FIB #7: “I’m not big on playing games.”
Translation: “I am utterly, unfortunately devoid of ‘edge.’ My lack of sarcasm will astound you. I pride myself on being a good guy/girl, but I’ve been screwed around by prior partners who couldn’t decide whether the sex was decent enough to continue dating earnest little ol’ me. Now I make sure to let everybody and their mother know that I DON’T PLAY MIND GAMES. Never ever ever.”
FIB #8: “I can’t wait to meet you!”
Translation: “I can’t wait to scope you out in person to see whether you’re worth having sex with—or, at least, determine whether you look anything even remotely like that foxy photo you posted of yourself.”
FIB #9: “I just got out of a long relationship, so I’m mainly looking for friends right now.”
Translation: “Having just escaped a bitter, years-long romantic war, I am damaged goods, and I can’t deal with anything more serious than frenzied sexual escapades to help me temporarily forget my misery. But I know that my chances of getting laid will plummet if I indicate that I’m only interested in slutting it up, so I’ll just say that I’m looking for friendship only.”
FIB #10: “My interests include good wine, live music and fine dining.”
Translation: “I have a well-groomed goatee and I like dancing to cheesy techno at Eurotrash clubs. I love having dates buy my dinner. Oh, and I also really like getting hammered. Shots all around! Take off your top!”

If you’re a straight girl looking for some sexual inspiration for Valentine’s Day, you should find plenty to get you and the man in your life primed in Horny Couples 3 from Mile High Media on its Indulgence imprint. These couples don’t just stick to the basic blow job followed by vaginal sex, but it’s not so hardcore that you’ll be turned off, either. I recommend this for a nice solo viewing as well.

Femjoy is all about capturing the natural beauty of the womanly body, often in an outdoor setting that really gets me going when I start thinking about the possibility that one day, I could be out in nature somewhere (it could happen!) and just coincidentally luck into the chance to spy on one of these erotic photo shoots taking place. The photos all have a sort of Euro look, meaning I may never be so lucky unless I travel, but don’t spoil my voyeuristic daydreams, please!

Below is an excerpt from an article by sex author Violet Blue.
It’s still not as cheap as a subscription to your favorite porn site, but with the way the Kindle has been absorbed by consumers, it’s surprising that we aren’t seeing annoying “Kindle addiction” sites spring up around the net. Faster than a numb journalist can write a headline about nonexistent G-spots, the Kindle’s seemingly everywhere. And though the files are locked up with DRM, they have offered more to content producers for distribution access than analog book distribution models. And for sex, that’s always a good thing.
Want to kink up your Kindle but don’t know where to start? Bay Area publishers and authors bring the sauce on Kindle’s platform, with UK sex writers coming in to fill out what has become a full market of fiction and nonfiction sex lit, much of it made just for the Kindle. However, everyone knows by now that you can’t search the Kindle store for “sex” and actually get any. No, what you need to score for your Kindle is a wingman. Or winggirl.
Kindle’s top 10 erotica bestsellers right now include recommended titles “Guilty Pleasure” by Lora Leigh (#1), “Lust: Erotic Fantasies for Women” (by yours truly, #4), “Frenzy: 60 Stories of Sudden Sex” by Alison Tyler (#6), “The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty” by A. N. Roquelare AKA Anne Rice (#8), and “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Zane (#9). Two of the top collections come from San Francisco sex publishing powerhouse Cleis Press (cleispress.com). On Kindle they have a bevy of tasty titles, ranging from highbrow erotic literature to sex journalism culled from mainstream majors. Cleis’ hot new 2010 titles on Kindle range from the nonfiction sex essay collection “Best Sex Writing 2010” edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel (rachelkramerbussel.com) and “Special Forces: Gay Military Erotica” edited by Phillip MacKenzie Jr., to “Best Lesbian Romance 2010” edited by Radclyffe and the “Best Women’s Erotica” series.

WASHINGTON — The pioneer of media sex therapists, Dr Ruth Westheimer, has teamed up with the city of Washington to promote a 28-day romance stimulus plan for the US capital.
“The word stimulus is a dream. It has something arousing,” Westheimer, who is better known under as Dr Ruth, said at a press conference to announce the partnership.
Dr Ruth will serve as honorary US Secretary of Love and Relations during the month of February — the month of Valentine’s Day — with the brief to “jump-start the District’s love economy.”
Around 16 million tourists, including 1.5 million from abroad, visit Washington every year — but few head to the US capital for a romantic get-away.
In fact, Washington ranked second to last out of 30 US cities that visitors think of as romantic destinations, according to an annual poll to find America’s favorite cities.
Throughout February, Washington will put a new, lovey-dovey spin on its monuments, museums and restaurants.
Couples are being offered 20 percent off the entrance fee at Madame Tussaud’s museum in the US capital, and a two-for-the-price-of-one offer during the week of Valentine’s Day — February 14 — at the news-orientated Newseum.
Born Karola Ruth Siegel in Germany in 1928, Dr. Ruth was sent to a children’s home in Switzerland at the age of 10 to escape the Holocaust.
At 17, she went to Israel, and later moved to Paris where she studied at the Sorbonne and taught kindergarten.
She emigrated to the United States in 1956 and obtained a masters degree in sociology from the New School of Social Research in New York, a doctorate of education from Columbia University, and later studied human sexuality at Cornell University.
In 1980, she started a 15-minute radio program in New York called Sexually Speaking. A year later, the show had grown to an hour-long live show.
Dr Ruth has now appeared on television, has her own website, and even an iPhone app that says sex-related words in the doctor’s distinctive European accent.
Her message to Washington locals and visitors in February was to get out and do something in the city.
“Do something for Valentine’s Day, go to the museum, take the risk to talk to someone. At least you know one thing: this person is not a couch potato,” she said.

AVN named Women Seeking Women from Girlfriends Films the Best All-Girl Series of 2010. If you’ve ever watched any Girlfriends releases, you know that they take a far more natural approach to girl-on-girl porn than almost any other studio in mainstream porn (granted, there are gender queer releases that are more authentic, and we hope to see a lot more of that in the year ahead).

Ty—who has managed to confuse “honest” with “completely dickish”—told bubbly, blonde workout freak Callie that she wasn’t skinny enough to be a Playboy model. And then she cried. A lot. And I don’t blame her, as it’s totally crappy when you’re told you’re not BLANK enough to be BLANK. But seriously, it’s a sad day in the universe when one girl’s self-worth is deeply wounded because she’s not “skinny” (or plastic) enough to take her clothes off for a no longer relevant magazine run by a Peter Pan in diapers. Clip above.

The Sword has the scoop on Raging Stallion’s one-of-a-kind deal with a mainstream distrubution company to rework Focus/Refocus into a dysfunctional family-friendly R-rated DVD.
In a press release set to go public in a few hours, Raging Stallion announces their new partnership with a mainstream retailer called Breaking Glass Pictures. The non-hardcore cut of Focus/Refocus, which will be released on DVD on March 30th, marks the studio’s first mainstream cross-over, and it comes at a time when everybody is saying that story-driven porn is a thing of the past. But Tony DiMarco, who directed most of the non-hardcore scenes in Focus/Refocus, has always believed that the power of the plot is just as strong as the power of the cock.
I for one will continue fast-forwarding through the talky scenes in between the sex scenes, but it’s still a delight to see a few members of our humble porn industry family get included in a line-up of gay indie films.

Lately, we’ve been a little obsessed with the notches on bedposts. Maybe it’s because a bunch of celeb man whores made us feel like prudes, or a few female celebs made us feel like really Frisky gals (well, except for Joan Crawford). Anyway, what we found so shocking was that, while Warren Beatty supposedly has slept with over 12,775 women since he became a star, by our count, Madonna’s only had 31. It begs the question, how are these men sleeping with this many women, yet the women aren’t sleeping with that many men?
The answer is just as you suspected: They’re lying! And now we have proof thanks to some well-spent tax dollars! According to the most recent “Statistical Abstract Of The United States,” the average dude between 15 and 44 says he’s boned 5.4 women. A quarter of those guys said they slept with more than 15 girls. On the other hand, the ladies only opened up their business for 3.3 men, on average, with only 9.2 percent saying they had more than 15 partners. Are those above-average women the prostitutes who all these men are frequenting? Maybe. But most likely, guys are probably so insecure about being perceived as macho enough to be playahs that they’ll even lie on a confidential census test. Aw, that’s so cute! Not.
Look, handsome, whether or not the vagina-enabled think you’re a stud doesn’t depend on how many women you’ve been able to make sexy times with. Please, guys, keep in mind we gals like experienced gentlemen, and by that we mean a man who has done it with one girl long enough to learn how to do it right. You don’t have to bang half the world to blow us away! All you need is one love, or, uh, 3.3, as the case may be. [Washington Post]

Sometimes porn with a plot can work. For proof, just look at multiple-award-winning Throat: A Cautionary Tale from Vivid Entertainment. This modern XXX classic picked up lots of awards over the past weekend at the 2010 AVN Awards. Cover star Sasha Grey (and Sugar Maddy Crush Object) won Best Oral Sex Scene for Throat – she had a great night in general, as she was also named Crossover Star of the Year for her starring turn in the mainstream Hollywood flick The Girlfriend Experience. The now-retired Penny Flame has a shiny new trophy on her shelf for Best Supporting Actress in Throat. Porn veteran Tom Byron picked up Best Supporting Actor. Other awards for Throat: Best Screenplay and Best Overall Marketing Campaign, Individual Project.
Anyone who has ever seen Throat will know it really earned that shelf full of brand-new AVN Awards with a great balance of plot and smut. It’s something couples and ladies can enjoy as well, which doesn’t happen nearly often enough, as we girls know all too well. Sasha’s scene with the excellent Evan Stone is perfect when you’re in the mood for rough sex involving two of today’s best and brightest-shining porn stars. Tom and Penny share the screen in one of the hottest scenes. If you’re in the mood for a threesome, you’ll find two really good ones along about the middle of the movie. I vigorously and wholeheartedly recommend Throat: A Cautionary Tale for ladies who are looking for something hardcore and smarter than the average dirty movie.

Young Swedes have ever more fluid definitions of sex and sexuality, according to a new study from Malmö University in southern Sweden. Women in particular are more likely to pursue sexual activities with others of the same gender.
“We are seeing a greater openness among young people, particularly among young women. There is an increasing interest in experimenting and pushing boundaries, and a growing resistance to defining oneself as heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual,” Sven-Axel Månsson, a Malmö University sociology professor, told Dagens Nyheter (DN) newspaper.
Månsson and colleague Kristian Daneback surveyed 855 young people between the ages of 18 and 24 via an online questionnaire.
The survey showed that 31 percent of young women and 7 percent of young men said that they were most often sexually attracted to people of the opposite sex, but sometimes they were attracted to people of their own gender.
Thirty-nine percent of the women and 8 percent of the men reported having sexual fantasies about both genders.
Young women were also far more likely than their male counterparts to act on their same-sex fantasies, with 13 percent of female respondents and 3 percent of male respondents reporting that they have had sex with both men and women.
“Girls are less bound by norms than guys are; it is not as taboo for them to have sex with (other women),” Månsson told DN.
He added that the figures for women having sex with other women were “strikingly high”.
“Many no longer wish to be tied in to rigid sexual identities, they want to be open and free as people and as sexual beings. That is my interpretation,” said Månsson.

Violet Erotica is a popular web-based nude model who often displays an alt-porn-ish side that I really like, in case you couldn’t tell. Here she’s hot as habeneros in her stockings with violet and black striped socks layered over them, and lingerie to match. She would make such a gorgeous fetish model, too.
