(I found this bush on the Facebook… I’m not sure where it’s from, but I love it.)

- Parents were none too happy when they realized that Miami’s Exxxotica Expo was being held at the same venue (and same time) as a local high school’s senior prom.  Sure, I get than folks are concerned about exposure to minors, but honestly, I doubt anyone is seeing anything at the Exxotica Expo that they haven’t seen on prime time TV.  I would be more concerned about people mistaking some of the prom attendees for porn stars.  Have you seen the skimpy prom dresses that parents are buying for their kids these days?

- Speaking of porn conventions, it looks like former wrestler Chyna collapsed at the Exxxotica Expo.  Apparently the whole weekend was a bit of  a rough time for her…

- The latest in sex toy tech.  Yum.

- In honor of masturbation month, here are 9 Techniques For More Pleasurable Masturbation. (via TheFrisky)

- When worlds collide.  Hilarious.

- A really interesting review of the documentary “After Porn Ends.”  I haven’t seen the movie, which is about what the stars interviewed have done since leaving the industry and how their porn careers have affected their lives, but from the trailer, it seems that they are skewing it to look like all porn performers are damaged goods.  Hmmm.  From what I can tell, it seems a little sensationalized and lacking a fair and fuller representation.  But maybe I’m wrong.

- And lastly, here are 18 life-size female mannequin nutcrackers.  I’m not even sure what to say about it, though I’m sure I could talk at length about the implication of the objectification of women and the idea of the domineering woman if you gave me a minute…

Welp, hope this gets you through to the three-day weekend!

- Is there a “Kinky Sex Revolution” happening here in America?  What is 50 Shades Of Grey doing to our housewives?!?

- Draw Something porno.  Don’t tell me you aren’t impressed with their drawing skills.  they must be using an iPad, cause you know it’s impossible to draw well on a phone.

- Twin brother plastic surgeons that specialize in penis enlargement.  While I don’t think the penis enlargement stuff is a big deal, the fact that they do plastic surgery on each other to look more like one another is a touch on the creepo side for me…

- Is the home HIV test coming soon to a pharmacy near you?

- Sex Educator and general sexy bad-ass Barbara Carrellas gives a little insight on her ability to “think-off.”

-  Well, it finally happened.  After refusing offers for years, Nadya “Octomom” Suleman has shot her first porno scene.

- Scientists have discovered that instead of swimming, sperm actually do something closer to crawling through a woman’s body to reach their eggy destination.  Sure, that may be more “scientifically” correct, but honestly, it’s super creepy to picture, don’t you think?

- Fleshbot rounded up some of the hottest female orgasms that television has offered us.  Thanks Fleshbot!

- Lead singer of the band Against Me! came out as transgender in a Rolling Stone article that posted last night.  After years of privately dealing with gender dysphoria, the singer who is transitioning to the name Laura Jane Grace, has gone public with her gender journey and soon plans to begin her medical transition.  We are in awe of her bravery and wish her the very best!  And so do these random Against Me! fans and supporters!

- Director Madison Young sat down with The Rumpus for an awesome interview… and Marie Claire Spain did an interview with director Erika Lust about creating porn and being a parent.

- And speaking of porn making mamas, check out this awesome documentary about porn and parenting that Jiz Lee wrote about – “Born Into Porn.”

- Check out pictures from Japan’s closed-down hihōkan sex museum.  Both creepy and awesome.

- Porno crossed into pop culture recently when Mike John Productions/Jules Jordan Video’s POV Pervert 8 found its way into the new comedy American Reunion.  You know, another sequel to the movie with Jason Biggs screwing a warm pastry. I guess things aren’t quite as PG as they once were, huh?

- Music and sexy times go together like peanut butter and jelly… unless, that is, you think it’s a good idea to mix peanut butter with mint jelly, which ends up to be an awful mess.  You know, kind of like trying to fuck to these 50 Worst Songs To Have Sex To.

- Wow.  I never thought I’d ever have to hear someone tell someone else that their vagina is not a substitute for a purse, but no, it looks like some ladies are shoving all sorts of random crap up their pussies.

- Speaking of putting less-than-desirable stuff inside your bits, check out Dangerous Lilly’s flame test silicone experimenting.  Quite enlightening!

- Also enlightening – this awesome list of examples of cisgender privilege.  If you don’t know what cisgender means, definitely take a look and learn something new and important about how to make the world a better and easier place for trans and gender-nonconforming folks everywhere.

- Sometimes porn stars go out to dinner… and sometimes they are the cutest while they do it.  Just look at Kimberly Kane in this gallery of dinner with porn stars.

- And lastly, awesomely vulgar condom ads from Europe.  Love it!

Hope this gets you through til the weekend!

- A Treasure Trove of Cosplay from the Swinging 1970s.  These are the works I’ve been longing to hear for my whole life.  Seriously amazing.  Thanks io9!

- A priest accidentally showed hardcore gay porn to his congregation when he connected his USB drive to his computer to show a Powerpoint presentation.  While it’s kinda funny to me, because I think all accidental porn showing is funny, it might end up costing him his job.  C’mon people, it’s just a little gay porn – nobody died.

- While we knew Hollie Stevens had breast cancer, we didn’t realize that her medical issues have gotten worse.  Also, we had no clue that she was the pioneer of clown porn, which is a pretty awesome thing to be! (via Jezebel)

- Also neat and weird at the same time – erotic cakes… or more accurately, people eating erotic cakes.

- A linguistic history of cocks, dicks, and nuts.  Who knew some folks have referred to labia as cock? Not me!

Hope this gets you through til the weekend!

-  Minnesota teenager Mike Stone wanted to find a date to prom.  So what did he do?  He took to twitter earlier this week and asked hundreds of porn stars to go with him.  I guess it worked for some military guy and whatever celebrity that was.  I did just get an email saying that Fleshlight offered to fly one of their Fleshlight Girls out there to attend the dance with him.  Nice work Mike!

- A new study offers that exercise-induced orgasm is, in fact, a totally real thing.  Point thee to a gym STAT!

- Did LiLo (Lindsay Lohan, for those of you who don’t obsessively read gossip blogs) really pay pornstar Voodoo (Alex Torres) for sex, and did they really have it in the house while her dad was sleeping upstairs?  So many questions!

- The Frisky gives us twelve new slang phrases for dirty acts, including my personal new favorite “Going to the boneyard.”

- GoodVibes Mag reviews Hylton Coxwell’s book Vulva 101, a photo book of pussy portraits.  WANT!

(via Jamye Waxman)

- Interesting discussion about the benefits and issues with porn just for ladies, with star James Deen as the central point of the debate.  Definitely check this out.

- Speaking of awesome porn (because I associate “lady” porn with awesomeness), it looks like a new exhibit called “Consent” is going up in Tribeca (NYC) and it will include clips from Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex and Chemistry series.  The idea is to look at the gaps between what people think about porn and what they say.  Philly isn’t too far from NYC. Road trip for porn!

- An incognito browser for folks that are looking to hide their online porno usage.  Plus a neat picture…

- And lastly, former porn performer Sasha Grey recently offered up a commercial for Belgium’s Equal Pay Day.  Honestly, it is a really weird video with mixed messages about women in porn.  Jezebel, where I originally found the video, has a discussion about it going on.

Hope this gets you through til the weekend.
