The Sex Blog Of Record

Have you been wondering When Is It Safe to Have Sex after COVID? Scientific American has got you covered:
Nelson Bennett, a urologist at Northwestern University School of Medicine, and Justin Dubin, a urology fellow specializing in male sexual medicine and infertility at Northwestern University School of Medicine, both say that while they hope to see more research in this area, the risk of transmitting COVID via sexual activity is “very low.”
The virus has been detected in stool samples of patients with COVID-19, and more studies are needed to determine whether one might spread the virus during anal sex or such sexual activities as rimming (placing the mouth on the anus).
Even after 10 days and even after vaccination, “there is some risk of viral transmission via air or saliva,” says A.J. te Velthuis, a virology and molecular biology expert at Princeton University. But if you’ve tested negative after a lateral flow assay — a rapid antigen test — that risk is limited, and “sexual activity should then also be no problem,” he adds.
…
According to NASTAD, the National Coalition of STD Directors, you should make sure three things have happened after you have recovered from COVID before you resume sexual activity with a household partner: no fever for three days without the use of fever-reducing medications; improvement of other symptoms; and the passage of 10 days since your symptoms began.
Michael Mina, an expert on rapid tests and chief science officer at EMed, says that if you had COVID but then posted two negative rapid tests 24 hours apart, you’re “very, very unlikely” to pass the virus either through kissing or by having sex. “I’d argue it is not even necessary to wait the full 10 days,” Mina says.
There is, of course, much more nuance and detail in the full article.

Who here still remembers the infamous Bat Pussy? Ever since I made that post, I always wonder whether adults who enjoy bouncy-ball-riding fun are riding an “enhanced” bounce-toy like this one:
Featured are the “sorority girls” (yeah, right) from the old Dorm Invasions site, which is now part of the BangBros network.

This old comic postcard featuring a phallic missile system seems strangely apropos at the moment. I mean, it’s a time when people are writing patriotic love songs to Turkish-made tank-hunting drones…

A long time ago I published this detail from what I called “a grand-scale 16-person orgy scene” by Hungarian artist Alexander Székely. I noticed at the time that the artwork had a page number, so I wondered if there might not be an entire portfolio of Alexander Székely orgy party art out there. I couldn’t find it back then, but I’ve for damn sure found it now!
The 1962 portfolio is Házibuli: un bal chez elles. That seems to be a mix of Hungarian and French; roughly “House Party: a dance where the women live” but I’m sure there’s nuance that a good translator could render better. What strikes me about these epic orgy scenes is how well they work as great parties, with live music, dancing, amazing food, and booze flowing like water:

In my younger teen years, my most reliable source of porn was raiding the “tree fort” stashes of older boys in the rural woods around where I grew up. I never knew that sharing porn by leaving it hidden in the woods was a general phenomenon, but apparently, it was! According to Dr. Kate Lister, the behavior was widespread among my generation. In the UK they call it “hedge porn” and Dr. Lister has data:
Of the 2,254 people who filled out the survey, 1,944 (86.2 per cent) confirmed they had found pornographic material in an outdoor location. 1,519 of the respondents were male, 619 were female, 100 were non-binary, and 16 identified as “other” or preferred not to say. So, this was by no means an exclusively male experience.
…
By far the biggest age demographic to report finding hedge porn are the Gen X, 1970s babies. Coming in at a whopping 41.8 per cent of the sample, that’s almost double the amount of the second closest group, the “elder millennials”, 1980s babies, who accounted for 22.6 per cent. As to be expected, the decline in hedge porn sightings correlates with the rise of the internet and online pornography. Of those born after the year 2000, just 1.04 per cent had found porn in a hedge.
…
The size of the stash varied considerably, from a few torn pages, through to whole boxes, carrier bags, and in one case, a suitcase stuffed full of pornographic magazines. What’s more, while most of the respondents reported finding porn under hedges or dumped in the woods, scrubland, riverbeds, carparks, and abandoned warehouses also seem to have also been prime sites for finding second-hand porn.
…
So, to the big question. Who was leaving pornography out in the wild? 181 respondents to the survey reported leaving porn in an outdoor location. 176 of those were men, 3 were women, and 2 identified as non-binary. The youngest reported being 7 at the time and the oldest was 62, but there is a significant spike between the ages of 13 and 21 years old. The most common reason given for dumping a porn stash outdoors is the need to get rid of it but being too embarrassed to just put it in the bin where it could be seen by others.
…
But still, why outside? Why so often in the woods or stuffed under a hedge? The answer to that seems to be, at least in part, because the dumper wanted someone else would find it, a kind of “feedforward” for porn.
As one person wrote, “It was an unspoken rule that everything was left for others to find, I never added but never took either.” Another explanation was, “it felt natural to return it. I kept it intact. Like lost and found.” The idea of dumping porn in order to replenish the wild stocks is an interesting and unexpected one, and it repeats throughout the answers.

In 1971 Playboy did an interview with famous author Henry Miller and somebody (Playboy or perhaps Miller’s publicist) arranged for eye candy, in the form of nude model Candice Thayer. Of course they had to play a game of ping-pong:

When the bukkake fetish first started to storm the porn beaches of America in the early 1990s, it got marketed with a misogynistic legend about how bukkake was an ancient Japanese folk practice for punishing adulteresses. As late as 2003, the director of the American Bukkake video series was running around telling this tall tale to college newspaper reporters as if it were fact.
That story is, of course, complete bullshit. Bukkake was invented to sell videotapes, in the heated Japanese porn market of the 1980s.
The panels above are from a two-page comic-style History Of Bukkake from Cinema Sewer #17, published in perhaps 2005 or 2006. Text is credited to Robin Bougie, art is credited to Phil B.
