∞ He Wants to Jizz on Your Face, but Not Why You Think [Jezebel]

girl smiles facial

“Cum on me, not in me” was a popular sex educator slogan as far back as the late 1980s. Ejaculating on a woman’s stomach, however, usually meant that the camera wouldn’t let the audience see the actress’ expression. But if the male actor came on her face, the viewer could see two things at once: evidence of male pleasure (symbolized by the ejaculation) and the equally important sign that a woman’s reaction to that pleasure mattered…

…the intense appeal of facials in porn (and real life) was about men’s desire for that same experience of being validated as desirable, as good, as “not dirty.” For a young man raised with the sense that his body – and especially his penis – is “disgusting”, a woman’s willingness to accept a facial is an intensely powerful source of affirmation.

I think of the “facial” as a sort of esteem boosting act for the giver, but not necessarily degrading to the receiver. The thought that a person lusts for me so bad that they beg to wear a mask of my jizz is quite a turn on.

This desire to be reaffirmed of your worth can be extended to any sex act and applies to all genders. We all love to be loved like we love to give love.

For further analysis on the subject of facial ejaculation make sure to read the full Jezebel article.

The Condom Mandate [Update]

porn scene with condom

An ordinance sponsored by the AIDS  Healthcare Foundation that requires LA porn productions to use condoms inorder to receive a film permit was tentatively approved last week by the Los Angeles City Council. Today a second vote gave the final approval. The law will go into effect in 90 days, at which point the LAPD can perform spot checks on permitted sets.

The Safer Sex in the Adult Industry Act will not affect films shot in studio. It applies only to permitted locations, like rented houses. I.e., it’ll apply to most sets. Though, I presume some will go guerilla style and film without a permit.

For a while now, the Cal/OSHA and AHF have interpreted a work-safety regulation already in the law books to mean unprotected sex on porn sets to be illegal. Before the passing of this new ordinance that interpretation was barely enforced.

The industry has been vocal on its anti-condom stance, which is disconcerting from an education and health perspective but sensible in a free-speech context.

In regards to health, self-regulation in the industry, such as requiring performers to have STD tests every month, has worked for many if not most. Over the decades HIV cases in the industry have been scarce. No doubt, requiring condoms would give performers the best protection. But it’s worth discussing wether a condom mandate is worth its implications.

“We should do this more often.”

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

from Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

Rebloggers offer cute translations like “o god i cant breathe” and “You’re doing a really good job.”

According to the English subtitles, she’s saying, “You’re like an ant.” But that’s not plainly romantic out of context.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance currently available on Netflix Watch Instantly

Sex is Only a Greeting Away

and Fuck?

Look out for this greeting card at a good gift shop, because it’s missing from Lady Pilot Letterpress‘ Etsy store.

I can attest to its effectiveness on the literate. It’ll at least amuse a potential fuckee.

Let any woman start a sex conversation with me, and it’s natural for me to go to bed with her to finish it, all in due season. Unfortunately no woman makes any particular start with me, so I go to bed by myself

-  Lady Chatterley’s Lover

Society needs this type of ice-breaker. A digitization of this card into an e-card has the potential to relieve sexual tension worldwide.

∞ New York City Will Mandate Sex Education [NYT]

For the first time in nearly two decades, students in New York City’s public middle and high schools will be required to take sex-education classes beginning this school year, using a curriculum that includes lessons on how to use a condom and the appropriate age for sexual activity.

My primary worry is that the curriculum (HealthSmart and Reducing the Risk) will focus too much on abstinence. Of course it’s the best way to avoid pregnancy and STIs. But is it realistic?

The Streets Aren’t Safe

It’s super hard to avoid human sexuality today. Billboards, HBO, the Internet: they all glisten with smutty smut. As you’re well aware, with today’s accessible technology, it doesn’t take much effort for anyone to indulge in sexually explicit entertainment. Preventative measures such as pixelation, NSFW tags/warning messages, rating systems, and filtering software have helped to curb the excitement. But even with all the censoring society imposes, this ‘sex’ thing isn’t losing strength. Soon enough hard cocks will be part of the backdrop as you walk down the street. Actually, it’s already happening. This I learned on the corner of Hollywood and Las Palmas:

explicit uncensored porn on newsstand

That magazine cover featuring the preceding moment to fellatio was on display on a sidewalk-newsstand in full daylight. Following a screening of Barry Lyndon (a three-hour movie) at the Egyptian, it remained untouched. No one cared or noticed, and this made me happy. The newsstand’s bold display was most likely not intended by the vendor. The pornography’s placement was probably left by a mischievous passerby. Wouldn’t it be nice, though, if the vendor was indifferent, and the only people who noticed it were the ones who were looking, and as they saw it they thought nothing of it, expressing the same non-reaction they had to every other magazine on sale.

It reminds me of the pirated DVD stores I visited in South America, some of which had their uncovered porn section a few feet away from Spongebob.

I’ve been ready to call it quits on concealment. If a kid can catch a glimpse of a blowjob on Hollywood Blvd and more on a computer screen, what’s the point of hiding our collective stash? Sex and porn are out of the bag. It makes sense to be frank at this point.

… about how she practices safe sex. Contrary to common perception porn stars in particular are cautious fuckers. And I mean that in a good way. Sex is their livelihood afterall. Don’t disregard their advice because it might not be yours.

For the details on STI testing, head over to CNN. Yes. CNN has a helpful article featuring porn perfomers Dylan Ryan and Danny Wylde.

His Is Just Right

Bill Willingham conservative gay marriage fables

That’s an interpretation of Goldilocks we don’t see… ever. That is, other than in Bill Willingham‘s comic book series Fables. I’ve just started reading and am not too far past issue seven (from where this panel originates), but from what I can tell, thus far, his Goldilocks is not a character we’re supposed to be rooting for.

In this particular story arc Willingham gives us his take on Orwell’s Animal Farm. Along with satirizing leftist activists, Willingham sneaks in a weak blow to gay marriage, of which he publicly admits to have “problems” with.

Apparently, he subscribes to that one notion that people will start defending inter-species unions following the acceptance of same-sex love. And people will fuck their cats because the forbidden is too tempting, etc.

Raynard (the fox and hero of this scene) is labeled a “bad name” after attacking the rants of an egalitarian. Could it be that Willingham sees himself in the fox and has heard people yell out “homophobe” in his direction? Willingham ignores that within his world of Fables the fairy-tale animals, including Raynard, Goldilocks speaks of are as intellectually aware as humans. Such beings have the undeniable ability to consent to love or to fuck. His satirical jab at gay sex, equating it to sex with non-humans, doesn’t compute in this context.

It’s clear Willingham is only reproaching the idea of inter-species/same-sex relations as ‘unnatural’ and not on the bases of ethics. This is the flawed logic many traditionalists fall into.

Am I reading too much into these three panels? Perhaps. His politics aren’t overbearing throughout; it’s not like I’m going to stop enjoying the series. But he’s too outspoken about his views for me not to snicker every time I notice a slight conservative-leaning in his work.

Before typing out my progressive reactions, my first thought was of admiration for Willingham for being transgressive enough to ingrain this in my mind: the idea of Goldilocks as a famished girl yearning for bear cock.

Can some one please link me to the porn version inevitably featuring Goldilocks in a foursome with three big hairy men? That has to exist. While you’re looking, keep an eye out for the people behind this set of photos:

 

Veteran HoS readers may remember me posting these back in the day. They’re still a mystery.

Sex Ed of Terror

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, directed by Craig Macneill
, and written by Clay McLeod Chapman “Late Bloomer” is a dreadful tale of sexual awakening.

{via /Film}

It would have been more horrific (in a good way, cinematically) had the director dared to show a splatter of semen on the floor at the end. Although the magic of movie-making means it didn’t have to be the boy’s real ejaculate, such a scene, I imagine, would come too close to child porn for most. Leading up to the climax the narration works well alongside the symbolic imagery. When the boy snaps back to his embarrassing reality, only letting the voice-over tell the story feels disingenuous to a visual medium.

But an emotional public may gasp at this perceptive of film theory.
