From Tumblr:

The sketch was most likely done by Leonardo’s apprentice Salai, who was not only very likely one of Leonardo’s lovers, but who was also infamously mischievous. Better yet, the anus is literally labeled “Salai.”

So either Salai drew these while Leonardo wasn’t looking just to annoy his boyfriend, or Leonardo himself put actual time and energy into drawing these. Either way, the human race is truly blessed to have made such a discovery.

Here’s a fine earthy poem by Robert Burns. You won’t find it in his standard collections, but if you can find a copy (and good luck to ya!) of his The Merry Muses Of Caledonia, it’s in there:

Cuddy the Cooper

There was a cooper they ca’d him Cuddy,
He was the best cooper that ever I saw;
He cam to girth oor landlady’s tubbie,
He banged her buttocks again the wa’.

Cooper qo she, hae ye ony money?
The deevil a penny, qo Cuddy, at a’!
She teuk oot her purse, an she gied him a guinea,
For bangin her buttocks again the wa’.

Speaking as a representative of the “epoch of the future” appealed to in the text below, I see no flaws. I’d say “have at it!” but them as wants to already do without waiting for me or any other “legislator of strange pleasures”:

If males find intercourse with males acceptable, henceforth let women too love each other. Come now, epoch of the future, legislator of strange pleasures, devise fresh paths for male lusts, but bestow the same privilege upon women, and let them have intercourse with each other just as men do. Let them strap to themselves cunningly contrived instruments of lechery, those mysterious monstrosities devoid of seed, and let woman lie with woman as does a man. Let wanton Lesbianism — that word seldom heard, which I feel ashamed even to utter — freely parade itself, and let our women’s chambers emulate Philaenis, disgracing themselves with Sapphic amours.

See it here in the original Greek. It’s said to be by an imitator of Lucian, and thought to date from around 300 CE.

A drunk friend of mine the other day started riffing endlessly on how gay men have everything better than straight men. He had a whole manifesto! I myself was not sober enough to take notes, but these three points I do remember:

1) Gay sex workers and cams performers are hotter: younger-looking, prettier, more fit, better groomed. He sent me a gay camsite screenshot to argue his point:

Without bodyshaming, which I will not do, I can’t give you the compare-and-contrast screenshot of female performers from a het-oriented camsite that he also sent me. It is surely true that there are lots of stunningly beautiful women working cams, but on many sites they are interspersed with performers who have a certain “people of Walmart” presentation about them. (Which is all I’m going to say about that.) My friend riffed ruthlessly on this point in a way that’s far afield from the ErosBlog house style. I might accuse him of being shallow, but it’s hard to say that he is completely wrong.

2) Gay sex toys are more fabulous: shinier, more colorful, more glittery. This assertion verges on circularity, especially when one pauses to consider the problematic premises involved in deciding what “gay sex toy” might possibly mean; but in fairness and truth there was hardly a line in my friend’s whole riff that did not raise one or another such problematic question. It was more fun — and more friendly — to just go with the flow of the conversation. Me being me, though, I did needle him on this point; and in response he pointed (incontrovertably, I thought) to the rainbow cock cage that’s been featured in the pages of this very blog:

3) Blowjobs! My friend waxed lyrical on all the reasons why gay men give (and thus, in the main and for obvious reasons of symmetry, get) better blowjobs. A quick job of research turns up plenty of guys who agree, including no less an authority than the LGBT subreddit:

It might be reasonable to doubt whether gay guys as a class are properly objective on the question. But me being without any comparative data of my own, who am I to argue?

It’s been many years since I last bothered the ErosBlog audience with my reactions to beyond-the-pale notions in radical feminist politics. Going out upon the internet to find an outrage of extremity was fun in 1996 or even in 2006, but in 2016 it has too much in common with shooting fish in a rain barrel. It’s like: “Yeah, internet, there be crazies, whoa, you just figured that out? Way to be slow, dude!”

I’m making an exception this time, however, because of a resonance with a factual “did-she-or-didn’t-she” argument from so long ago that it pre-dates the web’s easy fact-checking. I’m old enough to remember when Andrea Dworkin had not yet begun to deny that she meant “All heterosexual sex is rape” when she actually wrote “violation is a synonym for intercourse” in her infamous book. For quite some time she sort of walked a knife’s edge of deliberate ambiguity, basking in radical approbation for having “went there” while dissembling just slightly to the media in order to preserve her mainstream respectability and media access.

Whatever Dworkin truly meant back in 1987, the malign idea first attributed to her has certainly not died. If she didn’t quite mean it, or wasn’t willing to own it back then, in 2016 there are some who do and are. Check this out:

PIV is always rape, OK?

The first sentence is “Just to recall a basic fact: Intercourse/PIV is always rape, plain and simple.” That’s followed by nine paragraphs of supporting argument. Of course it’s all shot through with the totalitarian ideology that women aren’t capable of consent and that their accounts of consent should not be credited. It will always baffle me that anyone who advocates for women or for any of the various feminisms could be comfortable with such a sweeping dismissal of female agency. Does not compute!

And that’s quite enough about that.

People talk about the difficulty these days of getting a decent search result placement in Google, especially for adult topics. In truth, it isn’t easy, especially when marketing straight-up porn. But there’s an old search-engine optimization truism to the effect that the easiest way to get a top result is to be the only person doing whatever it is you’re doing. I may be turning into an example of that, when it comes to porn provenance research:
