Good lord, I thought I got fucked-up letters. Eleven Gay Bars In Seattle Receive Threats To Poison Their Patrons With Ricin. The Stranger also received a letter warning of the poisoning threats, and the link is to the original post on the Slog. Click on the Slog main page for the follow-up posts, of which there are already several. There will undoubtedly be more updates on TheStranger.com as information becomes available.There is a pub-crawl bein...

El Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo anunció el lanzamiento de una nueva campaña de prevención del VIH que, en esta ocasión, tiene como objetivo la población homosexual, a quienes recomienda realizarse el test de detección del VIH para mejorar el diagnóstico precoz y usar el preservativo para evitar el contagio a través de las relaciones [...]

As 2008 draws even closer to its close, we'd like to take a stroll down memory lane, remembering our most newsworthy most read stories. Yes, it's time for the top ten stories of 2008. In a year of gubernatorial sex scandals, topless Aussie pop stars, Sarah Palin, and, yes, the (gasp!) Gene Simmons sex tape, what stories rose to the top? Read on to see (and, uh, watch out for Gene Simmons's tongue. 10) Postcards From Las Vegas: Abby Winters Lesbia...

“Esta lista está incompleta por lo que nuevos aportes para completarla serán bienvenidos…” Así comienza un artículo de Wikipedia que ya abrió la polémica hace algún tiempo. Lejos de retirarla por discriminatoria y/o infractora de leyes de protección de datos personales, día a día se enriquece con más y más nombres. ¿Su objetivo? Listar con nombre y apellido a las personas famosas (y no tanto) homosexuales, transgénero o bisexua...

While we've been busy rounding up some of the year's hottest moments, our friend Violet Blue has been doing more... meaningful work, using the season of listicles to draw attention to some underreported sex news. Did you know Playgirl folded went online only? Or that sex toys are really, truly legal in Texas now? Or that Google has trouble locating the clitoris? What a wild and crazy year, eh? Let's hope next year's just as exciting (though if Go...

Image from this gallery. A little while back I posted about and offered up samples from the gay porn company that’s been making some pretty hot straight porn — in this week’s boyflesh-fest, there’s a bit of that, some solo action, and at least one or two bi (male) treats. I combed through the pileup in my inbox and picked my favorites for you. Start with this gallery boy in natural light. Next, four videos of a cute brunet...

Image by Skye Shelly. A hugely amount of sex, tech, culture and health (and even sex-impacting legislative) stories are of great importance but never make it to mainstream media, and came in under the radar. In this week’s SF Chronicle I give them these stories their due — and more. My column is titled The Child Porn Lie (And Other Hits): Violet Blue: The top five underreported sex stories of the year, NOT “The Year in Sex̶...

Scintillating erotic fantasies spring to life from the fecund imagination of Celeste as we travel back to a time when just seeing women in their underwear was a viable fetish. Hooray! With all the holiday hustle and bustle in full swing, we bet you think we forgot all about you. Nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, we've got just what you need to warm yourself up and shake off those winter blues—our very own Fleshbot Supreme Co...

"100% no kpot" : c'est ainsi qu'on définit les soirées bareback, durant lesquelles les amateurs d'orgie forniquent à tout-va, sans préservatifs. J'avais beaucoup apprécié l'article d'Agnès Giard sur la question , fruit d'une révolte saine. Parce que, comme elle l'affirme, la société n'a pas à payer les risques courus par les quelques personnes excitées à l'idée de pouvoir être contaminées. Parce qu'il n'y a pas à dire, qu'on soit gay ou hétéro,...

It’s the Wolverine edition because this week on the gay male blogs, pretty much the most talked-about stroke material was the leaked trailer for “X-Men Origins: Wolverine" in which Hugh Jackman gave me every excuse in the world to get that bicycle tire repair kit and get to work on my Hugh Jackman Ultra Love Doll (“You thought adamantium was hard!!!”) for my weekend. The embed is below, but I highly recommend that you cli...

  Que el grado de desarrollo de un país nada tiene que ver con su tolerancia, no es una novedad. De hecho, muchos de los países con mayores índices de discriminación se encuentran entre los primeros en la lista de potencias mundiales. Y así lo confirma una encuesta realizada recientemente para el periódico Sunday´s Observer, que pone al descubierto la marcada tendencia homófoba de pueblo británico… (more…)

Normally, we couldn't care less about college students protesting for things—but that's because they're usually protesting about boring things, like tuition increases, not exciting things, like being able to have sex whenever they want. If only more student groups were like Italy's Unione Universitari, whose campaign argued for more student housing (and, by extension, more student sex). Now why can't American college students fight for thin...

This year, 2008, it can be over now. 2008: Today I got an email from a teenager in a group home asking for advice on “getting into” the industry because he is about to become homeless and live on the streets. This year: the woman whose boyfriend wouldn’t stop choking her during sex. The woman who couldn’t stop bleeding after sex, and the other woman whose sexual trauma from childhood destroyed her relationship and she wa...
