Pretty much undoubtedly the biggest ‘geek’ movie of this Summer was the Michael Cera vehicle Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, based on a Canadian indie comic book that blended slice-of-life romance...

As a child, growing up to pagan, feminist, politically-aware parents, I remember hearing this song by Christine Lavin, that gently poked fun at the new, 90's trend in "sensitive new age guys" in a...

Back when I lived in Brooklyn, I was, shall we say, acquainted with my share of insects as involuntary houseguests. When winter began to recede, you'd know spring was on the way as soon as you saw...

Resignation is not consent. Weariness and terror are not enjoyment. What seems compliant is not necessarily voluntary. Symptoms of the Stockholm Syndrome are not equivalent to a submissive’s...

Everyone who has ever watched a porn film—or even done so much as pick up a dog-eared copy of Penthouse—knows the archetypal lesbian fuck scene as envisioned by mainstream pornographers....

What do you see when you look at the world through the eyes of another gender? What’s revealed in the process of shifting between the masculine, feminine or all the other gender variants? With many...

In 1969 a "serious documentary" called Pornography in Denmark opened in a New York movie theatre and didn't get busted. That opened the door to other explicit films, like Sex USA and...

I, like so many of you, have a lovely little jar of Saffron in my pantry. Every time I open the cabinet, it looks at me and says, “Do you know that I am one of the most expensive spices in the...

There's been a lot of buzz about male circumcision in sub-Saharan Africa lately. Because of the data supporting MC as an anti-HIV measure among heterosexuals, it has gained the support of major...

No upstanding white leftist guy wants to call a middle-aged black woman an asshole, at least not publicly, but…well….
Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther, had this to say when she recently...

During rush hour last Thursday night, an explosion erupted, and fire tore through a 10-acre section of the Glenview neighborhood of San Bruno. My boyfriend, grandmother and I watched, horrified, as...

There's something powerful about a first positive pregnancy test. If the pregnancy is wanted, it is a moment of awe, fear, and triumph. If the pregnancy is unwanted, it is a terrifying sword of...

Perhaps it is ironic to celebrate one’s 21st birthday by going to an all-ages punk club. To little straight-edge me, however, it made perfect sense. So it was that we found ourselves (“we” being my...

I didn’t want to like this book. I went to a signing in Mill Valley. My friend said there would be good cheese there and I thought it might be interesting to meet a real life Cheesemonger. I love...

Liquid Latex is one of those things I’d heard about but didn’t really ever expect to use. I’d seen people at fetish events wearing it and looking great, but somehow I had the idea that it was a...

Number one rule that was hammered into my head my first Burning Man, and the solution to most physical and emotional problems on the playa.
Piss clear.
If you aren’t pissing clear, you’re not...

Mrs. Betty Bowers, for those not in the know, is America's Best Christian, and as she notes in the video below, is "so close to Jesus, the rest of the Trinity calls her Yoko." In her spare time,...
