The book also contains images of tits and ass.

Dave Naz is one of my favorite girly photographers. You may have seen his books, or the work he does for adult magazines, if not I recommend the books - better models, better printing and more to see in general.

Naz specializes in shooting women in ways that make them seem as if they’ve just wandered into the room sans-makeup. There’s a cute, happy sexy thing going on in his stuff which is far harder to capture than the “swimming through a paddling pool filled with lukewarm cum”, thing that a lot of other people are going for.

Like breast-shaped airbags, his images are pure fantasy of course, but it’s hard not to believe that somewhere, women look like that.

I mention Dave because I’ve just discovered his blog. If you’re thinking about modeling nude for the first time, want to look great and want to work for someone professional, well regarded and lacking criminal convictions - Dave’s worth a call. If you want to see what good, modern porn looks like, or doubt it exists, check out his stuff. I still advise you to start a website (a blog to be specific) but working with a great shooter like Dave will only help.

Over the weekend, which I’m embarrassed to say saw me leaving the house not once, I got a couple of ‘Sam what the fuck is a wiki you geek motherfucker’ emails.

In a nutshell:

"A wiki is a website which allows anyone to make changes and edits to its pages. In this way people can collaboratively add to, or edit, the wiki (website) to make corrections and improvements."

The power of a wiki is the large number of people involved. Even if individual contributions are small, when people start adding to a wiki it grows fast. I’ve been writing SugarBank for just over two months and there are now 92 articles here. SugarHive.org (our sex wiki) could have 90 articles in its first week.

Most wiki’s, like Wikipedia, would be impossible to build any other way (Wikipedia’s now ten times larger than Britannica). SugarHive will be a repository for everythign that thousands (hopefully) of people know about sex.

It could be something really special. Everything sex related you can think of in one place. A unique resource for education (for all those kids with parents who don’t tell them anything) and pleasure (pretty much everything that’s not educational).

We’re going to do it. I’m excited.

Oh yeah, I finished the mother-loving (a phrase first used by enslaved children to describe slave-owners with a notorious fondness for sleeping with the women in their family) podcast. Damn that was painful. It was like being taught French by the Foreign Legion (i.e. getting hit until you understand). More on that process, and where to (finally) hear it, very soon.

My date didn’t find the title of this post amusing.

In the 1930’s the BBC famously reported that there was ‘no news’ and skipped straight to their next rocking selection of standards from the BBC Jazz Band.

There is some news today but it’s not really industry related, more me related, and as this isn’t a personal blog I suggest you skip it. Really - nothing too exciting.

Yesterday I finally closed this comment thread. Seriously - if I’d known I was going to attract so many strident undergraduate philosophy minors and Christians I’d have organized a gang-bang.

You’d think this blog was a collection of  extracts from a thesis given the intense scrutiny that post got. I can only remember two times previously when I’ve offended so many people so quickly.

One was pretty recent, after a bunch of friends came out of ‘War of the Worlds’ and, when someone asked me what I thought of the movie, I said “It was okay but Dakota Fanning’s fucking hot.”

Okay - I misjudged that one. Sue me. She was about thirty feet tall in the theater I was in, how was I supposed to know she’s an underage giant?

The other time was about a year ago. I was with my man Riley, pitching a reality show to Fox. It was a weekly show where two teams of people competed against each other in feats of mental dexterity, physical agility and performance skills. We had Whoopi Goldberg lined up to host. They loved it until I told them the title was ‘Jews vs. Negroes.’

We all make mistakes.

On the Podnography front, I can announce (and should - if only to force myself to stay up and finish the damn website) that my first podcast will, with a bit of luck, hit later this week. Thursday or Friday is deeply possible. After all this build-up you may be underwhelmed, but when was the last time you were perfectly whelmed anyway?

I’ve also been talking to a reader who’s starting his own video production company. I’ve offered to help advise and perhaps, with luck, he’ll be able to produce something more engaging than the average skin-flick. He’s outside LA and currently looking for gorgeous, alt/goth/freak type female talent.

If you’ve ever thought ‘Fuck flicks, now that’s something I could do…’ email me a picture and I’ll pass them on (in fact if you’re interested in modeling work of any sort actually (glamour, Playboy etc.) I know people who can help and would love to so fire away - location’s irrelevant.)

Pretty much all I do is refresh this page.

(Dateline: 30 minutes ago.)

I’m still trying to work out why PSP Porn has been banned from Google and, after many emails, this is where I am:

• They have acknowledged receiving my email.
• They have said they’ll look into things, but won’t tell me what they’re looking into or the results of their investigation.
• They’ve suggested I check to see if I’m listed in 6-8 weeks.

That advice leads nowhere. It’s bollocks.

What’s more sinister, and  a little sad, is the corporate mindset which  produced it.

• If they’ve banned my site because of their error why won’t explain they admit the mistake, apologize and let me know they’ve fixed it?
• If they’ve banned my site because of a mistake I’ve made, why won’t they give me a chance to fix things?

(NB: I don’t see how they expect me to feel happy about them handling my money through ‘Google Wallet’ if this is what passes for customer support. Maybe service was better at Google before customer service reps came to work in Ferrari’s?)

Moral? Even the best products and companies are vulnerable to the impression their customer service systems leave. Be careful how you respond to email and think about who’s answering your phone.

(Dateline: Right now)

I cannot believe it…

I checked to see I was banned when I started writing this post and I was. I was about to post and went to add a link to this query site:www.pspporn.com, so you could see the problem for yourself.

Now I’m listed. While I wrote this post Google listed me (you can see the result of that search illustrating this post.)

Oh sweet irony…

(They’re obviously fucking with me. I am adding another layer of aluminum foil to the inside of this apartment and will start filtering my urine - they can trace you through your pee you know.)

The points I made are still valid. Why no email telling me what happened? What have I learned about working with Google from all this? If the delay in listing the site was due to something I did, how can I avoid doing it again?

If you’re in a similar fix - good luck. I’m sorry I have nothing more useful to tell you. Google, like the Department of Homeland security, doesn’t want us to know why or how they make their decisions. Kinda creepy.

Wax on, wax off…

For anyone missing the pary and thrust of vigourous fucking debate, Metafilter has picked up on the porn myths post and is having fun with it. Break out those textbooks, hit up Wikipedia, and enjoy the fun of endless, mindless psudo-intellectual argument. Thank Xemu for the internet eh?

Why do debates about porn always begin with assumed degradation? Degradation’s not my thing at all (unless I’m having one of ‘those’ days and I’m chained up in my gimp-suit eating dog-food).

This is happy porn, go and make some more. Please.

If it weren’t for these they’d be called MP3casts.

Go here now and you’ll be ready when it happens tomorrow. Smart right?

The Podnography edutainment is now online. I know they don’t give Emmy’s for podcasts but if you listen to the show, you can’t help but want to add, ‘yet’ to that statement.

To find our about the show, and the world of sex in general, click here. They’re cool - trust me.

Still reading? Click it damnit. I don’t do this stuff for my own amusement people

The server’s in space when Alberto Gonzales has no jurisdiction.

A week ago, back when men were men and women were men too, I suggested that a sex wiki might be a cool thing to have. A few of you, and you know who you are, emailed me and said "Sam you are a fucking genius." I knew that already.  Now SugarHive.org (.com and .net) is here.

You’ll note - it’s devoid of content and that’s where you come in.

I’ve laid out a few sections, paid for the bandwidth and installed the software. Now we have to turn the idea into a resource. It can be whatever you need it to be.

I know some of you have ideas you want to post - that’s great, for anyone who doesn’t, here’s what you can do.

• SugarHive needs ’stubs’. A stub is a short article (it can be a single sentence) which contains some information, but is primarily a placeholder until a more detailed article can be written. Anyone can write a stub - it’s easy. “Fellatio describes oral copulation between a lucky man and his partners”. Actually, that’s a stub that needs fixing.

• Make corrections. SugarHive will be (screw it, is already) full of typos and mistakes. Anal but don’t want to write about anal? Fix other peoples mistakes. We’ll thank you for it.

• Police. Unfortunately some asshole is bound, at somepoint, to try and destroy some of the work we do at SugarHive. Undoing changes with MediaWiki (the wiki software we’re using) is easy. See any vandalism? Roll it back (or tell me about it).

SugarHive.org could become an important, deep and fun guide to the world of human sexuality. Please contribute something so we can make this idea a ‘thing’, it’ll be a cool thing I’m sure.

(NB: If you want to ensure that someone else isn’t working on the same article you are, let people know in the comments for this post. You can of course add to and amend anything on the wiki as it appears.)

Let’s go! (be bold - it’s your wiki)

PS. If there aren’t at least ten stubs and one full article online by tomorrow I’m turning SugarHive into a resource for beekeepers. Seriously.

PPS. Did you know it’s legal to have sex with animals in Sweden? That the most common furry lover is a horse? That you can get a license from the Swedish government to film animal porn? See - if you’d posted it to SugarHive you would. I had to learn that from the Bikini team (who left their horse at home).

The wiki’s backed up onto this.

On Sunday, as regular readers know, I completely stop caring about what people think.

Sunday is when all the lightweight blog-readers do whatever lightweights do. Embroider keyboard covers or some similar weak-ass shit. I’ve just set fire to an orphanage and now, I’m sitting down to a roast puppy-meat sandwich. I love Sundays.

The response to SugarHive has been fantastic. In under a day we have gone from nothing to about 30 articles. I feel like a new parent, though the metaphor breaks down before you really start to think about it (don’t or you’ll watch it fall apart and I’ll seem stupid.)

Here are 25 cool things you can do with SugarHive (as soon as you make the pages which are missing of course).

• Post a review of an adult movie you’ve seen

How many articles will be in the Hive on September 1st? Post your guesses here over the course of the next week, I’ll come up with a decent prize for whoever gets closest.

Dontcha just wanna eat it up?

I’ve decided, because I run things round here, that 100 blog posts are equivalent to one year in human terms.

Unlike some of the crazy “Let’s do the show right here!” and “Cut the red wire Mountaineer!” stuff I say, this actually makes a little sense. One of the biggest blogs I know has made over 5,000 posts, making it a fat and corpulent fifty (unless it’s following Jack Palance’s young-and-fit, old-and-fit, dead model).

So it’s official - 100 posts is one blog year, pass it on.

How have things changed since I started shooting my mouth off on May 23rd?

Well the thing I’m most proud of is launching SugarHive. I’m fairly sure that if we can make it to 1000 articles, it’ll become a unique resource that’ll outlast us all. In two days you guys have already posted so much I didn’t know that, if it weren’t for my egomania, I’d be humbled.

What else is happening? Podnography and PSP Porn are my other current blogging ventures, and both will change in interesting ways before I make the 200th post here. They will soon be joined by three other blogs, all designed to do different, interesting things which I look forward to hearing from you on.

I’ve met some amazing people while writing this blog and learned a lot. Thanks for reading, and I hope that between the information here, and the other stuff I’m working on (or in the case of SugarHive, the stuff we’re all working on) I can continue to earn your respect and attention.

I promised myself I wasn’t going to cry damnit…

He knows what sofas like.

Homemade Sex Toys is a site which reads like the result of a drunk, late-night conversation between Mcgyver and R Kelly. It provides instructions on how to turn ordinary household objects into a harem of inanimate whores.

Flipping through it made me think three things:

• This is brilliant marketing with enormous viral potential
• Someone needs to start the ‘Homemade Sex Toys’ section at SugarHive immediately
• Sex is easier to sell when coupled to humor

The third point is the one that really stopped me.

In a market dominated by companies trying to out ‘hard-core’ each other, can you imagine how refreshing a sexy website/movie would be which managed to make you laugh? Why does that combination work so well? Looking a the words make it suddenly obvious.

Funny + Useful appeals. So does Beautiful + Useful. How about Shocking + Useful? Gross + Useful? Not so hot I think, yet ironically, where much of the market’s heading.

If the ‘usefulness’ of a sex product is its sexuality (assuming the use is masturbation) what are you tying ‘useful’ too in order to sell your product? If you don’t know the answer to that question, you’ve not looked hard enough. If you do, would anything else work better? What’s your funny?
