- Live@HOPE, Monochrom’s Grenzfuthner: "The future is like the Jetsons, plus rape" | Gizmodo – Arse Elektronika, a conference about technology and sex, came screaming into the world. "It was true," says Grenzfuthner. Everything he's seen in three years has confirmed that we do use sex to drive tech. "Mankind is a tool-using species and a sexual species and we can't forget that," he says, "Innovation has always been tied to porn." He went on to say that Gutenberg supported his bible printing habit with the next thing he printed—pornographic texts.
- Orgasm Just by Thinking: Is it Medically Possible? – Health Blog – CBS News – Carrellas is featured in a new "Strange Sex" series on TLC, but her brand of sexual pleasure may not be as strange as one might think. Researchers at Rutgers University have been studying the mind-body-sex connection, and have found that there seems to be documented evidence of Carrellas' claims. They put her in an MRI, had her "think off" and found that the parts of her brain that should light up when she climaxes did just that.
- Child sex abuse and women’s ordination: the Vatican’s immoral equivalency | Washington post – You can now be defrocked for raping a child or for conferring Holy Orders on a woman.

In 1992, while working for the Wilson Library Bulletin, he sent a survey to subscribers about sex. 5,000 librarians responded, but the prudish Library Bulletin wouldn't publish the results. They've finally been released!
- Sonoma County CA separates elderly gay couple and sells all of their worldly possessions | The Bilerico Project – Clay and his partner of 20 years, Harold, lived in California. Clay and Harold made diligent efforts to protect their legal rights, and had their legal paperwork in place–wills, powers of attorney, and medical directives, all naming each other.

- 10 common online reputation mistakes | Blog | Econsultancy – In today's internet-enabled world, your 'reputation' is arguably more important than it has ever been in the past. Increasingly, information about you and your business will find its way online, and what people say about you online has the potential to become a significant asset or liability.<br />
<br />
So it's no surprise that 'online reputation management' is a hot area. But as with SEO and social media, many mistakes are made.

- My opinions on youth at KinkForAll unconferences | Maybe Maimed but Never Harmed › – I’d like to make clear that I am of the opinion anyone under the age of consent should be requested to seek the permission of their parents or legal guardian before participating in a KinkForAll unconference. I remain convinced that it would be inappropriate and unnecessary for a specific age restriction to be imposed as a blanket rule for all KinkForAll unconferences.

Our readers this month:
Vanessa del Rio is the all-time queen of the Latina sex stars, a lusty, exotic slice of mocha-skinned sensuality. Her name is synonymous with fiery, unrestrained sex at its rawest. Vanessa made her erotic debut in 1974’s ‘CHAIN DOLL,’ and was a top star right up until her retirement in 1986. Her enthusiasm for all kinds of wild sex made her one of the most bankable of 70’s and 80’s stars. Producers and fans knew that the name Vanessa del Rio meant sexual abandon, plain and simple. Vanessa del Rio appeared in nearly 100 films and videos during her 12-year career and never disappointed fans of lust-crazed Latin erotica. A member of the X-Rated Critics Organization’s Performers Hall of Fame, Vanessa is still one of the best-loved, most fondly remembered sex stars of all time, a bad girl with a feverish hunger for nasty, all-out sex. Vanessa del Rio has been mentioned in countless rap music videos, appeared on various talk shows, and played herself on ABC’s N.Y.P.D Blue.

Barbara Carrellas by Barbara Nitke
Urban Tantra® is a radically updated Tantra practice for modern sexual and spiritual explorers and can be used anywhere and by everyone. Tantra is not only a sexual practice, it is also a way of life and a path to spiritual growth and fulfillment. On the Tantric path, pleasure, vision and ecstasy are celebrated and can be as found in both everyday life and in peak sexual experiences. We will develop deep, heart-centered connections (with a partner or with yourself), and explore the bliss that comes when our spiritual and sexual paths are one. We will also learn Tantric techniques for intense, full-bodied pleasure. This workshop is for both couples and singles. It does not include nudity or explicit sexual touch. All genders and sexual preferences are welcome.
Barbara Carrellas, ACS, is a sex educator and sensual revolutionary. She is the author of Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century and Luxurious Loving: Tantric Inspirations for Passion and Pleasure.
