I missed the fun when Fleshbot launched a counterattack in the War On Pornography. But with that link, I’m doing my best to make up for lost time.

I almost never link to LiveJournal sites, because they aren’t really public internet resources; a random surfer usually doesn’t have commenting privileges, and the service makes it easy to hide certain posts, password them, and play other little “it’s my treehouse and you aren’t invited” kiddie games. And it’s also been my experience that blogs hosted on blog services are much more likely to go *poof* and vanish.

I reluctantly made an exception for Vintage Sex, which was (note the past tense) a wonderful resource for vintage dirty pictures. Alas, the folks who run LiveJournal just made Vintage Sex delete essentially its entire archive and turn the site into a “closed adults community” where new posts will apparently be visible only to select LiveJournal members (“select” meaning “willing to lie about their age”). In other words, Vintage Sex has been gutted, and the steaming carcass has been evicted from the public internet.

The reason? Apparently someone sent LiveJournal an email alleging that teenagers might have viewed the site.

Vintage Sex will be missed. Moral: Anything worth doing on the internet is worth doing at your own domain that you control.

Remember Joanne Web, the woman who was arrested and prosecuted earlier this year for selling sex toys in Texas? Well, after keeping her under a prosecutorial cloud for months, the county attorney dropped the charges “to prevent wasting county resources.” Gee, you think?

In the old email, I find this from Hakim (this is the entire missive):

i need a free girl to sleep with

Ya gotta wonder. What kind of free does he have in mind? Are we talking free speech or free beer here?

It’s puzzling. Is he saying that slavegirls just don’t do it for him? Or is he just anxious to explain that he won’t pay, after?

And I won’t even begin to worry about why Hakim saw fit to share this decidedly ambiguous need of his with me.

Sorry it’s been so long since I posted — I’ll try to do better. Everything is good here, just the usual insanities of summertime.

You’ll never believe what I saw yesterday. Young lady with a sweet Playboy-Bunny-next-door face was wearing a short red plaid “schoolgirl” skirt (which she was young enough to wear in all innocence, had she been so inclined) with a pair of stereotypical hooker/dominatrix Hillary-Clinton-on-the-cover-of-Spy-Magazine black fishnet stockings. And a cute pink half-shirt that showed her belly button. You could hear the clashing symbolisms six blocks away.

Amazing.

Here’s a porn site that seems to do a better than usual job of showing sex that looks like real sex, with smiles and attractive-but-not-plastic bodies and backgrounds that aren’t obviously porn sets. I quite enjoyed this bit of backyard nookie, courtesy of Real Fucking Couples:

This is a scenario any humble citizen can place himself into. Just hangin’ with the wife in the backyard on a sunny day, when she smiles over real nice. One thing leads to another…

And so forth. A bit more honest than the over-produced stuff, and a lot hotter!

Note: Real Fucking Couples is defunct and no longer exists, but it was an early effort to go mainstream by the company that became Kink.com.

This Wired article discusses Sociolotron, an online roleplaying game (currently in beta) with mechanics that allow sex, bondage, even rape. The article talks a lot about the experience of players who are “raped” in game. It sounds to me like the engine is of broader interest, if only because it brings some of the social freedoms of ancient MUDs into the MMORPG world of today. Critically missing from the Wired article: screen shots.
