Marianne Batlle
(24 August 2009) - Of the many subversive crafts we've seen over the years—crocheted cupcakes, cameras and hamburgers come to mind—Marianne Batlle's handmade mix of sex and fashion takes the concept to a decidedly more edgy level. The Paris-based artist crochets penises in a range of fanciful materials and colors, incorporating silks and bows, as well as fuzzy angora threads, pearls, sequins and more, to lend personality to...

Photographer Michael Cogliantry: Furverts
(03 July 2009) - by Russ Lowe We recently sat down over a tall boy with photographer Michael Cogliantry to chat about his latest book project "Furverts," chopping wood and his first case of hate mail. The Brooklynite-turned-Portlander, whose work spans hi-fi advertorial shoots for top brands to portraits of Alaskan gold-miners, made the cross-country trek west via caravan last summer. The first Pacific Northwest winter is a...

Tony Duvert: Un Anneau D’argent á L’oreille and Abécédaire Malveillant
(09 February 2009) - The late French writer Tony Duvert is probably best known for When Jonathan Died (Quand Mourut Jonathan), the tale of a mutually destructive sexual relationship between a middle aged artist and a young boy. Recently two of Duvert's more recent works have been republished by A.P.C. now that interest in the obscure writer has been rekindled since his death. These later works are Un...

Spray-On Condom
(22 July 2008) - While most technologies advanced by leaps and bounds in recent decades, condom design has been relatively static for the last century or so. One visionary German scientist is working to change that. Jan Vinzenz Krause has spent recent years trying to make the world's most common prophylactic available in spray-on form. The technology's draw, according to Krause (pictured), is that conventional condoms often don't...

Boobs and Dinks Early Detection Kits

Lascivious Playing Cards
(20 December 2006) - Lascivious started with super vampy lingerie, but Chloe and Ozy, the brother-and-sister creative duo behind Lascivious, always expressed their interest towards sex illustration. Their online look-books have always been prurient eye candy made with photos, cocktail recipes, cut-out dolls, erotic tickets and the like. In their world populated by modern vixens, bombshells and dominatrixes, when the urge to give more room to art became...

Memorable (perhaps even unforgettable) spreads include Diana Krell's...

Grafuck
(31 October 2005) - Grafuck a new book published by newly formed husband-and-wife design team me, me (Fiel Valdez and Peter Vattanatham) is the latest offering of something other than the platform stiletto and waxed chest versions of sexy pictures.

Box Mag
(29 September 2005) - Box is the latest in a new breed of mindful soft porn. It offers a post-ironic combination of fine art photography and illustration, literature, documentary and editorial reviews. What's best is that it's neither gay nor straight, male or female focused-- it has something for everyone without making anyone uncomfortable. But it's still very erotic. The first issue, appropriately themed The First Time, has...

Haute Sex
(18 July 2005) - Sex toys as a rule are simply, well, not that sexy. It's as if an invisible line runs between high design and sex, ironically suggesting that sensual curves and lines inspired by the body were somehow irrelevant when created for the body. A recent outcropping of luxury sensual products, including Myla, Jimmyjane, Mi-Su, Lelo and the Mile High Kit, erase that false divide, finally...

Blow Job Puzzle Card
(22 June 2005) - I recently tried to track down a copy of Warhol's notorious 1964 film Blow Job to no avail. The 41-minute black and white film of a man's face ingeniously embodies whatever clever joke it is that Warhol seems to always be smirking about in photos. Second best to owning a copy is definitely this puzzle card that takes a still of the famed cigarette...

Sneezing Hula Girls
(10 January 2005) - CES wasn't the only show in Vegas last week. The Adult Entertainment Expo was there, too. While the show was mostly dedicated to porn, there were a good number of gadget vendors as well. Most of the warez were run of the mill sex toys, but these 3 vibrators were something special. They simultaneously buzz and gyrate and I think they're supposed to look...
