Unicorns as Phallic Symbols
A documentary movie about the uncharted central region of New Guinea made its rounds in the art-theater circuit many years ago. It boasted some outstanding photography, an uncommonly intelligent narration, and—since the American censor boards frown on the genitals of civilized people only—some unusually frank sequences of naked natives. One of the more memorable reels showed a tribe of savage Papuans whose penises are sheathed in long, horn-like shields, tied to their waists to resemble the erect phallus.

Sex Exercises
In the way that an athlete is taught and conditioned in their expertise, the same discipline should be taught to those who are sexually active. I don't mean to suggest that sex is just another form of athletic contest. On the contrary, sex can be—and should be—the physical expression of genuine love. The postures of love-making may seem bizarre, but if we had been meant to procreate by spitting over our left shoulders or by gazing into our partner's eyes soulfully, that's what we'd be doing. We're lucky that sex is no more bizarre than it is.

Scarlett Johansson has proven she can make waves at the box office. If you’ve seen any of the films that Scarlett Johansson has starred in in recent years, you know she is no amateur and have witnessed her transformation from a child actress to an action movie star whose sexuality permeates the air on screen and in the theater.

The Sexualization of Denise Richards
At the young age of nineteen years old, Denise Richards found herself with rushed breast implants and a sudden and fierce sexualized image. It was 1990, and breast implant surgeons saw themselves as artists first, then surgeons. Suddenly, Richards found herself with much larger implants than she asked for. Denise and her two knockers were the breast of buddies until 1998. While preparing for 1998’s Wild Things, she had corrective breast implant surgery. Yet, once again, the new doctor felt it incumbent to protect those precious fruits and made them larger (again) than she had asked for.

Phoebe Cates' Pool Scene
After ending a brief but successful modeling career by seventeen, it took Phoebe Cates less than 24 months to become famous for what Rolling Stone has consistently voted Phoebe Cates' pool scene, as the hottest bikini scene in film history. It would be a defining moment for cinema and the end of innocence for a young Cates. The sexualization of Phoebe Cates began before she was even legal. By the time she was nineteen, it was 1982 and she had done several nude scenes in films like Paradise. Fully nude was fully nude. It seemed coming off the 1970s decade of sex, drugs, and rock & roll, nudity even for a teenager, was more socially acceptable than in the 21st century. Paradise was another version of the cult classic Blue Lagoon where Phoebe’s peer Brooke Shields, also quite young, played a sexually active teenager.

Porn Stars in Cosplay
Whats a porn star to do? Of course, cosplay if you are mainstreaming. What is mainstreaming? What it is not, is a fetish. What it is, is the rebranding of an adult entertainer in a new industry, outside of traditional pornography. Makes sense when you think about it. Cosplay, while not a strict fetish, has much in common with sexual role play. Most female geek characters in geek franchises from movies like The Avengers to video game sensation Mortal Kombat, are smoking hot and dressed for sex or a night out at a club in The Matrix.

Sex and Voodoo
Cast a spell in New York, have sex with a voodoo doll, make someone have an orgasm in Los Angeles. Perhaps with future studies of Haitian Vodou spirituality, this kind of fantasy can someday be available online. Voodoo sex spells and magic have become the thing of legends, yet they are still practiced by Voodoo priestesses and shysters alike. A once powerful and mystic folkway, the Americanized incarnation of voodoo has bled its way into pop culture.

Pee Fetish History
If you flip to the personal ads section of any underground sex or fetish website, you will undoubtedly find a decent number of pleas from men who want to be peed on, along with a variety of announcements and requests from other golden shower devotees. Though at first this preoccupation with pee may seem somewhat perverse, one need only read the testimony of any true enthusiast to see how natural and exciting an aspect of our sexuality it can be. Take, for example, the following excerpt from a letter sent us by a reader named Josh, describing his first golden shower experience:

RuPaul's Drag Queens to Follow
As a celebration of pride, I want to honor those who have worked tirelessly for the LGBTQ community in helping shape the way people perceive it. In the wake of Orlando’s Pulse Club Massacre, our country opened its eyes even wider to the violence and mistreatment of the community as a whole. An important group within the LGBTQ community that have been lasting figures, drag queens, have helped usher in a new world of acceptance and love. We thank those Queens for giving us happiness when it seems dark and gloomy. They offer hope when there doesn't seem to be any at times. Today, many drag queens have reached celebrity status, and that's thanks to RuPaul. Unless you’ve grown up on a deserted island or lived under a rock, you know who RuPaul is. And if you don’t… there is something called Google, do yourself a favor and look her up. Since RuPaul created RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2008, there have been 100 queens, 8 seasons, 3 spin-offs (All Stars, Drag U, and Gay for Play) all of which have helped and nurtured lesser know talent to become stars in their own right. So instead of celebrating famous actors and athletes that have come out in the past, we celebrate the underdogs of the community that have had a bigger impact on helping the world see a different, more fabulous side to the LGBTQ spectrum.

John Thornton Erotic Photographer
John Thornton's work might be mistaken for that of Guy Bourdin or Helmut Newton, but under the scrutiny of self-transformation for which his composition and unique color sense have become the primary means of initiation, Thornton’s photographs conflate the social barriers that define our concepts of reality and fantasy. He is amused by the paintings of Magritte and fascinated by the work of engravers such as Dine, Hockney, Edwards, and Fallon. Thornton confesses to an absolute love of women (his favorite subject), of color ("I am incapable of seeing in black and white"), of electronic lighting ("My strobes have a total power output of 2,000 watt-seconds"), and of the good natural light of our old sun. He adds that his collection of lenses range from 20mm to 500mm, that he checks each pose with a Polaroid before shooting, and that he conceives of his photographs as fairy tales.

Did Anna Wintour Work in Porn?
By today's standards, porn is gritty, sweaty, and available in one click. In the late 1970s, under Anna Wintour's guidance, porn at Viva magazine was artistic, beautiful, and exclusive. Before her reign as Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour worked alongside Penthouse Magazine's Bob Guccione to elevate Viva magazine, an adult women's magazine, into a forum that exalted beauty, love, sexuality, and fashion. To Guccione, Viva was the yin to Vogue's yang; for what was nudity but an extension to art that could thrive in the world of fashion? Often on its pages were men and women in the tumults of love-making – accompanied by an engrossing story of their toxic affair – matched with spreads of delicate naked nymphets running in the forest. Ahead of its time, Viva featured the naked body and its pure natural beauty, which today would be excepted as art, but back then was limited by the categorization of "porn."
