Share Our Shit Saturday 18 #SoSS

share our shit banner

I’ll confess to not being as regular about Sharing Our Shit on Saturday as I would like to be, but here I am today on this particular Saturday with some excellent shit to share:

  1. That industrious patron of the arts and my good friend Dr. Faustus has been busy since the last time I shared his publications and productions. Recent output includes editions of his comic Bubbles in Hebrew (עברית), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), and Bengali (বাংলা). The third chapter is now available in The Adventures of Ashley Madder, and there has been a substantial revision/addition to the comic Bait, announced here. Four new pieces of commissioned art supplementary to Bait (or pendant to it, if you prefer the word that Dr. Faustus uses) have also been published: here and here and here and here. And finally, all the Bait goodies have a permanent secure home at the Internet Archive now. I swear I don’t know how Faustus does it!
  2. The Rialto Report continues its ambitious project of making high-quality scans of porn magazines from forty years ago. This time it’s a visit to 1980 with the issues from that year of Cinema-X Review and Adam Film World.
  3. Ten Things I’ve Learned From 10 Years Of Sex — a really smart bit of writing from Kate Sloan at Girly Juice. I sure as shit didn’t learn that much in my first ten years of having sex, and in a lot more than ten years I never learned to write paragraphs so nice and tight.
  4. I appreciate a good obsession as well as the next person, so I am in awe of this post at Vanilla Spanking that explores at 3,500-word length (plus extensive visual material) the question of whether there was ever a Tarzan movie in which Jane gets a spanking. One word answer: no. But every near-spanking and situation in which Tarzan threatens to spank somebody is lovingly detailed, and the one funny-papers comic-strip panel in which Tarzan does spank an abusive lady big game hunter is presented in both its as-originally-published and later-reprint spanking-censored-out versions. Obsessions, man, long may they wave!

On A Bed Of Cash

This image isn’t titled “Fuck You, Pay Us” but that’s the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw it:

Dream Of A Bachelor-Party Pussy-Eating Class

I wanted to read this article by sex educator and burlesque performer Fancy Feast about her time working in sex toy sales because she billed it on social media as “a rant about sex positivity under capitalism” which is at least a little bit in the ErosBlog wheelhouse. It’s a good and wide-ranging article, too; you should go read it. I’m not even going to attempt to summarize, characterize, bloviate, or respond.

I do, however, want to highlight one paragraph of imagery that holed me below the waterline. We may think that we’ve come a long way in terms of gender equality, but socially? Naw. She’s talking about a point in her career where she was head of educational programming for the sex-positive sex toy store she worked for, mostly selling blow job workshops. But even though people would ask for cunnilingus workshops, they couldn’t sell enough tickets for the classes to make. She explains that most of the classes for the blowjob workshops were women who had been somehow convinced they need BJ skills to get and keep a man. Then she points out that women also worry about the oral sex they receive. But do men worry about giving it? It’s not a question she tries to answer per se, but what she does say is telling:

I try to imagine a bachelor party coming into the store for a celebratory cunnilingus event, the groom-to-be adorned in a crown of stylized, glittery cunts. Each man gingerly entering the room, wrapping a hand around a complimentary craft beer for the comfort of a familiar object. Each of them nervous that there is some secret out there to pussy eating that the other men aren’t telling, each of them worried that their girlfriends and wives or Tinder dates will leave them for someone who sucks clit better. I imagine each participant – the groom’s brother, his fiancé’s best guy friend, his cousins – adorned with vulva necklaces, sucking on ripe peaches and juicy mangoes, sitting on foldout chairs in a room of men, howling with laughter and cheering each other on as they practice tongue techniques. Thinking about this makes my heart ache.

Yeah. That’s like, so not happening. By which I mean, of course, that in my calcified imagination I can’t see it happening in what remains of my lifetime. Although it’s also true that we live in an age of wonders, and I am astonished every day…

An Excited Peeper

In this shunga dating to 1800 by Kitagawa Utamaro, a masturbating voyeur is peering through a fence at a squatting woman who has exposed herself, perhaps to pee:

Striding With Wonder Woman

This gorgeous image is said to be Lynda Carter on the set of Wonder Woman, which would date it to the mid-late 1970s. Hat tips are owed to This Is Not Porn on Twitter and (perhaps less obviously) to Epimenides the Cretan and René Magritte.

Unwelcome STEM Surprise

“But why aren’t there more women going into STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) careers?” goes the lament. Why indeed.

Why Feminists Should Support Sex Work Decriminalization

In case you’re sometimes confused by all of the confusion spread in the arguments over sex work (especially by whorephobic paleofeminists who clutch at their pearls while trying to outshout actual sex worker voices) Erika Moen and Lux Alptraum have boiled the matter down into a refreshing 26-panel graphic at The Nib from which the following two panels are excerpted. It’s called Feminists Should Support Decriminalizing Sex Work. Here’s Why:
