Comstock Films now has a video podcast. The latest is episode 4 of Marie and Jack.
Beginning January 1st, Ning is kicking out its sex communities (SAI):
“Needless to say, adult communities and pornography are hugely popular, even if most companies don’t acknowledge it publically. But for a company looking to sell ads against content, all adult communities are good for is pulling in ads from other adult-related services.”
Susan Mernit’s Blogher column on What’s the right degree of transparency for you? 5 rules:
“For myself, I’ve been transparent up to a point. I blog here—and in other places—about my current primary relationship, my sexual politics, and causes I believe in—like marriage equality—but I don’t put all the details out there.”
Via Lolita Wolf, An Interview With A Real Life NYU Dominatrix:
“It was rather easy because I fit the role, but emotionally it was incredibly taxing. First I had to be sure that, with every possible tool of the trade suddenly at my whim, I was really comfortable with what could possibly happen and then, when I started and I was actually okay with it, I had to really look into myself and figure out what the hell was wrong with me that I wasn’t freaked out.”
“I can sail without wind, I can row without oars, but I cannot part from my friend without tears.”
The NYC Aids Monument was dedicated last Sunday.
As we wind the year down, the end of year lists are starting to show up. Susie Bright talks about her favorite dozen movies of 2008.
Getting to 3rd base: J.D. Bauchery talks about handjobs for the ladies in our lives:
“Call it finger fucking, finger banging, fingering, or whatever you will, it’s all the same thing – using your fingers/whole hand to stimulate a woman’s most sensitive bits.”
Lena Chen on racism is the new snark:
“Call this an overreaction, but I’m seriously disturbed by some of these comments. The Gawker article is offensive, sure, but considering the website’s habitual outrage at other people’s displays of ignorance, I’m going to chalk this up to a poor attempt at humor.”
Mashable has a post about 12 Great Tales of De-Friending:
“In summary, what I discovered is that everyone approaches their social network differently and it’s impossible to communicate all those nuances when you choose to de-friend.”
