Have you seen this before? The anal hook? Because before the other night, I hadn’t. The picture pretty much says it all, but in case you’re not sure exactly how it works, follow this link.
That’s what I love about the internet. There’s always something shiny and new just around the next corner.
Thanks to Madeline for the heads-up.

Remember the CPAC conference held a couple weeks back where Anne Coulter called John Edwards a faggot to cheers and applause from the audience?
Another honored attendee, pictured above with Coulter: Conservative media darling Cpl. Matt Sanchez, who was all over Fox News a while back. Here’s his blog.
The punch line, of course, is that Sanchez is also known as gay pornstar Rod Majors, aka Pierre LaBranche. Seriously, take a look at the photographic evidence (totally NSFW).
Ah, life is sweet.

If my last post was a bit too heavy, you may enjoy this one more. Radar Online has a fun little story on the history of breasts and their coverings over the last century. It includes pictures.
You’re welcome.

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, is having a hysterectomy.
She’s the wife of my future monarch, and as such I really sincerely wish her all the best. At the same time, I can’t help but wonder why we need to know this — and why it’s getting so much media attention.
Yes, Camilla is a celebrity, and so she’s going to draw attention. But would she be getting so much attention, I wonder, if she was having her appendix out? Is a hysterectomy in and of itself simply more sensationalistic, more newsworthy, more interesting than any other -ectomy? If it were some rare operation, or at least something less common — a splenectomy, for example — I would understand. But according to the CDC, over 30% of all women aged 60+ here in the States have had a hysterectomy.
I know sex sells, but — and if you read this, Camilla, please forgive me — a 60-year old woman not known primarily for her sex appeal having her uterus cut out might technically be sex-related, but one would hardly call it sexy (except to a small and, in my happy experience, purely hypothetical portion of the population, natch).
So why do we care?

According to Fox News, the rich have better sex.
OK, maybe I buy that. I know that when I become obscenely wealthy, I’ll be able to afford nothing but the cleanest, most beautiful, most skilled prostitutes. In zero gravity. On my private space station. With sex toys carved out the bones of only the most endangered of endangered animals.
What I want to know is why this article is featured in the “Business” section of Fox’s website. I mean, not all sex is commercial.
Is it?

How much do you pay for your condoms every year?
OK, so if you’re a bareback-only kind of person, or you trust your partner to supply the latex, you don’t care much. But for the rest of us, who regularly purchase the little rubber bastards for personal use, how many do you figure you go through per annum? Ten? Fifty? A hundred? Three hundred? You figure at least one or two an encounter, multiplied by the number of times a year you have sex…
Now how much do you pay, per unit? If you’re like me, you probably buy the medium-sized boxes of them at the drugstore, the 12- or 24- or 36-packs, for about a dollar apiece. Would you be surprised if I told you you can get name-brand condoms for as little as 15 cents each?
The folks over at My Science Project, who previously answered for us the burning question of how many condoms you can wear at once (answer: At least 625, if you don’t mind maiming Mr. Happy), have done us the favour of hunting down some of the best bulk-buy deals on name-brand condoms on the internet. Check it out!

Ladies, did you ever think to yourself “Gee, I love shaving my pubic hair, but I wish that I could do it faster without shredding my extremely tender girl parts into an apocalyptic wasteland of really painful nicks and cuts!”? Well, if so, your prayers have been answered: Enter the Bikini Line Genie, a bit of cun(t)ningly constructed hypo-allergenic plastic that fits “between your labia majora to cover your more sensitive labia minora, clitoris and blocks off the vaginal opening so no foreign materials may enter” while you depilate.
Ten points to the first female Sex Carnival reader who emails me with a picture of this bad boy in action. Bonus points if you do it while wearing one of their tank tops.

Is it wrong that this page of Swedish librarian fashion photographs turns me on more than any porn does, or even could?
If it is, then I don’t want to be right.

CNN reports that movie star Richard Gere (he of the persistent gerbil rumours) has been in India stumping for his other pet cause, AIDS awareness, by promoting condom use among Indian prostitutes.
“No condom, no sex. No condom, no sex. No condom, no sex,” Gere hollered into a microphone as about 10,000 prostitutes gathered at a dusty Mumbai fairground joined him in chorus.
Good for Mr. Gere! It’s so nice to see some positive mainstream attention being paid to the sex industry. Though I can’t help but wonder about one thing that the former Pretty Woman and American Gigolo star said:
“This [gathering] is unfathomable. This will not happen in the U.S. or Europe, or even in Asia.”
Er… where exactly does he think India is?
