Later update: Via commenters who are smarter than me, I have learned that WordPress doesn’t handle spell checking independently, relying instead on browser spell-check functionality. So my ire should have been directed at our dear old blue-nosed friends at Google.
Today I noticed that the dictionary used by the ErosBlog installation of WordPress knows how to spell the word “cunnilingus” and is perfectly happy to flag it when not spelled correctly. In order to do that, it has to “know” the correct spelling. But it refuses to suggest the correct spelling! The best it can do is to weakly suggest the word “ceilings”. I am not making this up:
Almost certainly this was not a deliberate choice of the WordPress coders. I don’t have time today to research the source of the spellcheck routine and library that causes this result, but since WordPress is open source, it’s likely to involve logic that was coded elsewhere. This is hardly new behavior in a software product; Violet Blue caught Microsoft doing it with Word’s spellcheck way back in 2007. Nor is this the first time ErosBlog has covered search invisibility, search suggestion censorship, and arbitrary sexy-keyword “blue lists” that have been widely shared for censorship purposes in the tech industry. My guess is that WordPress is just one of the many software products that lazily or unthinkingly incorporates a library built around one of those ancient and stale blue lists.

This is a promotional still from The Labyrinth Of Sex, a 1969 Italian “documentary” of sexual perversions. The internet has little to say about the film, but the scene depicted supposedly has something to do with the sexology research of famed sexologists Masters and Johnson:

Somehow, these pretty sirens are at their ease in an undersea forest of waving kelp, and yet their underwears are not even damp-looking! These dark magics are for luring hapless mariners to their deaths, no doubt about it:
From a Maidenform advertisement for their “Sea Dreams” collection. Don’t be lured! (Ok, maybe just a little luring…)

I love the old stereographs. These were two very similar photos that could be viewed with a stereoscope to get a sort of 3D visual effect. Very early virtual reality! Which means you can now blow people’s minds by telling them the Victorians had VR porn…
In truth I don’t know when the earliest nude stereographs were made and sold. But it was surely before 1900. The three outdoor naked ladies here (frolicking in 3D, if we had the right viewer) perhaps date to the 1930s, but I am only guessing.

Came across this graphic from 2005 or so. It’s kinda clever. Perhaps it was an actual bumper sticker, once:
Smurfette has a blue posse, you say? Indeed he does. She’s also got a blue… well, that’s the joke, isn’t it?
I tried to find this image in a larger size but it appears the twin marches of time and linkrot may have wiped it from what remains of the old web.

Back in 2002, Roboho: The Robotica Erotica XXX Game utterly failed to take the world by storm. Which is a pity, because it had some cool art featuring Roboho, the “sexual service machine”:
She was a sophisticated sex machine, we’ve got to give her that much:
Since those innocent days, w’eve had at least two different waves of moral panic over sexbots and so-called “robot sex workers”. But we haven’t seen all that much actual innovation in mechanical gynoid (or android) sexbots. The tech really hasn’t advanced all that very much beyond the RealDoll, which had already been around for half a decade when the Roboho game was made. So we’ll have to just enjoy the conceptual art, I guess.
