Well Squeezed
“He won’t keep his hands off my boobs!” is a complaint that many a man has earned, true enough. But it’s one of those complaints a wise man doesn’t take entirely at face value. Often, when applied to a lover, the complaint is more about timing or venue or level of applied enthusiasm; it’s a rare woman who wants them left 100% the hell alone. And if you think rough treatment is never appreciated by any woman, here’s a photographic counter argument:
That’s from Sex and Submission via Kinky Delight.

Local Prude Fail?
Dr. Faustus blogs:
Historic Rahway, New Jersey may bear the distinction of being the boyhood home of Milton Friedman, but the libertarian principles that eminent economist spent his life espousing might be a little wan these days in his hometown.
It seems that Eliza Gonzalez and family decided to take advantage of recent snowy weather in the Northeast United States to make a Venus de Milo-esque snow sculpture on their front yard, which apparently most of the neighbors liked, at least according to this TV news report. But someone, of course, had to ruin the fun by making an anonymous complaint to the police, who in turn complained to Ms. Gonzalez, who responded by covering the sculpture up with a bikini top and a sarong.
The irony of the situation, as Ms. Gonzalez told the BBC (oh, grand, now the Brits and the whole world get to snicker at us prudish Americans again) is that the sculpture looked “more objectified and sexualized” than before the cops showed up.
I’m afraid I agree. Hat tip to Jerry Coyne.

Some Naked Witches For Dr. Faustus
So I stumbled on this image (click it for a very large version) and liked it on sight:
Let’s zoom in on some details, shall we?
Next I learned that the painting is called The Vision of Faust, by artist Luis Falero. This made me think at once of my co-blogger Dr. Faustus and his own febrile visions; so you can imagine my delight, upon reading the fine print, at learning that the painting once hung in the same hotel bar as the Nymphs And Satyr painting that has played such an important part of the ErosBlog iconography over the years:
Some years ago the management of a large and popular hotel in this city, having added an elaborate public room to the house, hit upon the idea of attracting attention to it by filling it up with pictures and objects of art. Among the former the most prominent was a world-famous, large canvas by Bouguereau, the “Nymphs Teasing a Satyr,” as the artist christened it, or “Nymphs and Satyr” as it is most generally known, and the painting by which Luis Falero effectively established his reputation, “The Vision of Faust.”
These pictures alone, and they were but part of a number more, cost many thousands of dollars. It has been estimated, by one of the heads of the house, that they alone have paid some ten times their cost in the amount of custom they have attracted, and relatively to the advance in market value of modern paintings of the first class, they could now be sold for double what was paid for them.

“…And A Machine To Suck ‘Em”
If ever I were going to complain about alienating the workers from the means of production, it would have to be in the context of Fucking Machines. But even here, the progress-though-industry people may be able to make a case for the virtues of mechanized mass production:

Piquerism Art
Have you ever seen vintage erotic art depicting the fetish of piquerism?
Yeah, me neither. The internet will expand your horizons, don’t let anybody tell you different.

Porn Industry, Are You Listening?
Adele Haze has published a manifesto that should be required reading for anybody who makes, sells, or markets porn.
No, wait. It’s not a manifesto, it’s a tweet. But still:
I’ve written about a million decriptions of sexy pictures this morning. And none of them involve insults. See? It can be done.

Goodbye, Newspapers
Violet Blue has discovered, the hard way, what the dead tree newspaper industry (or, at least, a substantial fraction of it) has seized upon as its grand strategy for surviving in the second decade of this fast-moving 21st century. Turns out the answer is…
… wait for it …
Search engine spamming! Yup, Violet has documented how a bunch of newspapers are duplicating their online content like crazy across a nest of subdomains, after stripping out most of the links and stuffing with ill-considered keywords. Apparently the brilliant idea is to lure search engine visitors into these virtual crab pots, hold them there until they start to drown, and then hope they click on the advertising links as they struggle to escape.
There’s only one little problem: it’s not an original idea. People have been doing it for so long that it’s been prohibited by Google’s webmaster guidelines for years and years. Anybody still dumb enough to try it will eventually find that their sites don’t show up on Google’s search results at all … or not, at least, anywhere in the first ten or twenty pages of search results.
Game over, guys. Enjoy whatever it is you decide to do next.

Naked Warrior
Me being who I am, my eye is not usually drawn to the male warrior types in your average fantasy art. But I’m pretty sure I’ve got a reader or two who’d like to ogle (at a minimum!) this fellow:
It surely would be a waste if he were to be devoured at this time.

Summer of Love…In The 3rd Reich?
Something about the hippy-style body paint in a drawing with Nazis made me think this was from some sort of alternate-history where the Nazis won, only to be suborned from within, a generation later, by free love and LSD. But no, it’s just hippy-era adventure-magazine art, looking irreverently backwards:
Illustration, via Drake’s Way, is from the December 1967 issue of Men, from an article by the most excellent name of “Free the Girls of Love Captive Stalag”. Oh, yes, do let’s!

Jessica Alba In Trouble
Erosblog has a longstanding policy of admiration for Jessica Alba and her many fine qualities. Of course, we particularly admired her performance in Sin City. Here’s another shot of her from that movie, this time in a moment of extreme peril, when she’s tied up in the sadistic clutches of the goony guy with the whip and the epic-bad fluorescent complexion:

Yeah, Yeah, That’s The Ticket
I noticed the following slightly-butchered factoid at the bottom of a “fun semen facts” infographic posted by Mistress Matisse:
The Etoro people of Papua New Guinea it is believed that to become sexually mature men, young boys must swallow the semen of their elders.
I’m calling bullshit. Let’s assume for the sake of argument that the cultural anthropology has been done right and reported right — not too likely, but hey. Go with it. Assume the cultural pattern exists as reported.
It’s that word “believed” I’m choking on. My proposition to you: the “elders” in question “believe” this line of happy horse shit in exactly the same way that I “believe” the following two propositions:
1) Anal sex will make your butt bigger; and
2) Swallowing semen will make your unborn baby healthier.
