Can you believe that it’s New Year’s Eve already?!? Where did 2008 go? I guess it doesn’t matter because I’ve decided that 2009 is going to be an awesome year. The last twelve months have been pretty decent, don’t get me wrong, but I’m looking forward to 2009 to be a banner year. I can’t decide whether or not I like NYE being in the middle of the week, because yes it makes the week short, but most people (including me) have to work on Friday, and that sucks. No worries though, because it happens to be humpday, and that means double celebrations! Yay! And you know what we do on humpday… Link Love!!

Let’s get to it!

- One time Eurythmics star Dave Stewart has created a $1,400 vibrator. Partnering with luxury sex toy company JimmyJane, the musician created the “Little Steel Tonight,” a stainless steel vibe with a satin finish and a band of 28 diamonds. Oh, and it has a custom guitar pick and the lyrics to Stewarts newest solo song scrawled on the side. I guess this would be a great cross-marketing promotion if anyone wanted to buy a $1,400 vibe… or cared about Dave Stewart even the least bit anymore. (via TheFrisky)

- A new study found that sexually unsatisfied women who practice yoga and Eastern techniques of mindfulness (meditation? I assume…) have improved sex lives. I guess these researchers never heard of the Kama Sutra, huh. (via Jezebel)

- Who doesn’t love a sex scandal? Lucky for us, Gawker rounded up the best and worst sex scandals of 2008. I kinda can’t believe Madonna and A-Rod made the list. Bo-ring. (via JamyeWaxman)

- The Daily Beast also rounded up the year in sex for us. A littled canned, but hey guys, thanks for all the memories. (via Tiny Nibbles)

- It is a bad day for porn lovers. The British Parliament is trying to ban porn that is considered “extreme” -which could include some forms of BDSM – and arrest anyone in possession of any movies featuring acts which are “grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character” and portrays in any way an act which threatens a person’s life, or which results or appears likely to result in serious injury to someone’s genitals or breasts. (via Jezebel)  

- And while that totally sucks, it’s even worse for India, where Internet porn has been completely banned and browsing the nudie pics can bring about major punishments.  Way to ring in 2009. (via WNS)

-  After all that depressing international porno news, let’s be even more excited that the FCC has changed their proposal and decided not to roll out a porno-banned free broadband service.  Porno: 1, Conservatives: 0. (via Tiny Nibbles)

- Oh man, I love Belladonna and Kimberly Kane. This is amazing! Thanks Fleshbot, you just made my New Years!

- April Flores will be at Good Vibes in San Francisco in February.  Mark your calendars, Bay Area folks!  Makes me wish I still lived there.

- And speaking of rad porn stars, check out this awesome piece on queer porn by the super duper hot Jiz Lee.  Be sure to read til the end for the shoutout to HMFH!  Aww, Thanks Jiz!

And lastly, I just wanted to repost Jamye Waxman‘s call for happy couples willing to do it on camera.  If you can, you totally should – Jamye is awesome!

Happy New Year!  Have fun and be safe!
