Fantasy author Jim Hines makes this amusing point about how women are depicted on fantasy novel covers (including one of his own, as he’s an author) in stereotypical and downright uncomfortable poses, by striking those poses himself! The post includes a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, griping about muscle cramps, and ruminating on gendered depictions of [...]
Photographer Bill Durgin has created a series of posed shots where bodies stand in for fruits and vegetables in the traditional still life painting genre. The resulting photos are sensual and strangely compelling, provoking thoughts about the connections between bodies, food, and art. Follow us on Twitter @mysexprofessor.

Last week I came across this uterus-themed pinata on etsy (above) and thought it was pretty neat. I do, after all, own several vulva puppets and uterus dolls. A couple of days later I received an email from a friend – who had no idea I had come across the uterus pinata on etsy – [...]
Jack LaLanne has died. I suppose many of us feel some connection to him; here is my story that goes a bit beyond the “Godfather of Fitness” persona and takes us into The Kinsey Institute, but you’ll see that more clearly as we go along.
On Tuesday I attended Lesbo Retro and then on Thursday I went to the official screening for the 5th annual Indie Erotic Film Fest (IXFF) held at the Castro Theater in San Francisco. It was amazing! I highly recommend this event to everyone in the Bay Area. If you didn’t get a chance to go [...]
My family and friends are getting pretty good about tipping me off when there are sexuality related events going on. So I was really pleased to hear about the “Shape of Us: Selections from the Kinsey Institute Art Collection” exhibit that opened in the Center for Performing and Fine Arts at Indiana State University on [...]
The Rotofugi Gallery has just placed artwork for sale (well, for preview request for sale) from the Playboy Redux: Contemporary Artists Interpret the Iconic Playboy Bunny exhibit. I first saw the exhibit earlier this summer in Pittsburgh at the Andy Warhol Museum when I was in town to speak at the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors [...]
Photographer Peter Lippman makes a beautiful vulva-like oyster, does he not? (Among other lovely photos.) To celebrate the vulva in more detail, consider attending Vulvagraphics this weekend in New York.
Photographer Mike Stimpson has re-imagined famous, and sometimes iconic, images using Legos – and he’s selling his images as prints, greeting cards, and on other media. Some are sex, love or relationship oriented and some are not but all are worth viewing. Take, for instance, the famous bed-in photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. [...]
I may have said this once before on MSP, but I love this image by artist Jay Venute. I bought it this year after having purchased another piece by Jay a few years earlier. There’s something about the distance between the couple that suggests an intensity and a longing (but also a hesitancy) that I [...]
Loading ...Longtime MSP readers will know that we are big fans of Clarisse Thorn‘s writing: she intelligently tackles important sex topics such as BDSM, sexual submission, open relationships, and sex-positivity. So we of course were super-excited when her book, Confessions of a Pickup Artist Chaser, came out (available on Amazon and Smashwords and in paperback). Clarisse [...]
