“Recent research and popular media reports have described intimate relationships among contemporary college students as characterized by a new and pervasive hookup culture in which students regularly have sex with no strings attached,” said Martin Monto, co-author of new research about the sex habits of college students. “We found that college students from the contemporary or ‘hookup era’ did not report having more frequent sex or more sexual partners during the past year than undergraduates from the earlier era.”

“Why does having a sexting affair with a married man or even doing porn make someone a ‘bad person’?” Sydney Leathers asks. “I enjoy my sexuality, and it doesn’t make me anything other than what I am.” Leathers says that her involvement with Anthony Weiner was an experiment, within an experiment — with more experiments to come. Earlier this week, the text-mistress of the New York City mayoral candidate came out with a column, a Vivid film and more. The web has been busy trying to assign meaning to it. Why? Not sure.

On Sunday, malicious software, known as malware, was identified on several sites hosted by Freedom Hosting, which provides consumers the ability to run hidden services, designed to protect their creators from being identified. While these are used for legitimate reasons, many hidden services are used for criminal purposes as well.

The gold stylized dicks are part of a series called “Grow A Pear,” based on Ke$ha’s song of the same name, which is far more problematic, in my opinion, than a girl wearing cocks in her ears. “Grow A Pear” is the story of a girl who falls in love with a boy and then dumps him because he wants to talk instead of having sex and is vocal about his emotions. “I signed up for a man, but you are just a bitch,” Ke$ha sings.

Yale’s report reads, “we are mindful that multiple reports and the national statistics indicate that significant underreporting of sexual misconduct persists on campuses across the country. The participants in our recent Campus Climate Assessment suggested a number of measures to increase the likelihood of reporting, and we are working to translate many of those suggestions into action.” Uh, how about actually punishing rapists?

Until spring semester of this year, Pasadena City College was one of the few campuses around the nation that offered a class about pornography. The class, called Navigating Pornography, was created by gender studies professor and author Hugo Schwyzer to help students think critically about our porn-saturated culture. Due to conflicts with the college, criticism and personal issues, Schwyzer will not be offering the class this fall.

You can’t go anywhere online without reading something about New York City’s mayoral candidate, Anthony Weiner’s refusal to give up sexting even after it cost him his congressional seat. What you don’t see a third as often is that San Diego’s mayor, Bob Filner, is currently being accused — by nine different women — of sexual harassment. I suppose I should be encouraged that people find stories about a guy sexting with apparently consensual playmates more appealing than one about a guy who tells female employees to come to work without wearing panties.

“Adam and Eve” conjures all manner of Judeo-Christian imagery, none of which particularly arousing — with the exception, perhaps, of the idea of the apple as a metaphor for sex. It’s somewhat surprising, then, that Adam & Eve should be one of the largest names in porn and sex toys. The story begins in 1971 when Phil Harvey sent out the company’s first condom mail-order catalog, taking a stand against restrictive Comstock laws that preventing the sale of condoms over the mail. What followed next would be a defining moment for the U.S. Come with us.

This summer, the indecency-fighting American organization Morality in Media wrote a very stern letter to the Secretary of Defense telling him to get nudie rags off the shelves at military exchanges. The Pentagon refused to play along. In the response, Assistant Secretary F.E. Vollrath illustrates the hard work the Department of Defense put in investigating the claims that Playboy, Penthouse and Nude are “sexually explicit.”

Last week, prime minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron announced that the government would be cracking down on porn by instituting opt-in filters with service providers. Basically, if you live in the U.K., you will be forced to give voice to whether you want access to the “corroding influence” of adult content.
