Make porn expensive again The social consequences of pornography are becoming too nasty to ignore

"Make Porn Expensive Again" is part of a long tradition — from the Catholic Church to Jeffrey Epstein — of separate sexual ethics for the elite.

Stunning, though I guess not shocking, to see it rise again.

[So it's with a broken heart and great sadness that I inform everyone that the one and only Sheldon Jacobs passed peacefully in his sleep at 5PM earlier this evening. Sheldon was a poet, comedian, actor and singer. He was a Vet, a former docent at the Museum of Flights, Seattle Leather Grand Dad 1995, members of multiple organizations and more. He was funny, stubborn, whimsical he made us laugh, cry and at times got us to say Sheldon Shut it!!! Or visa versa. He will be be forever missed but never forgotten. May he rest in peace. Information regarding memorial and such will be shared as soon as things are set in place.]

Sheldon Jacobs was a poet, comedian, actor, singer, and leatherman. He toured on Broadway in the 1960s before moving to Los Angeles. He was an army veteran and volunteered at the Museum of Flight. Sheldon was a member of the Seattle Men in Leather and was named Seattle Leather Grandad 1995.

Two young Black women, one woman leaning over the other’s lap and wincing and shouting. One has short curly hair and the other has light eye liner and hoop earrings. Both wearing knit shirts. Text: While BDSM has become a larger part of mainstream culture over course of my lifetime, it has always been billed to me as a white thing, a misogynist thing, and a hetero thing, and it continues to queer my experiences with every other community of which I am ostensibly a member. It has never been something that I could access that would not, for some people, invalidate the “authenticity” of my other identities.

Returning to Sharon Marcus's chapter in Between Women on the homoeroticism of Victorian fashion plates and doll literature and reading it this time through the eyes of kink. Marcus describes the fashion plate as "a respectable ... form of female cruising." So good.

But, when she surrenders to her own forbidden fantasies, Eugenie becomes trapped in a frenzy of drugs, sadomasochism, and murder. Can a frightened girl in the grip of carnal perversion find sanctuary in the orgies of the depraved?

"Material harmful to minors" means any description or representation of nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or sadomasochistic abuse when it (i) appeals to the prurient, shameful, or morbid interest of minors; (ii) is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with respect to what is suitable material for minors; and (iii) is, when taken as a whole, lacking in serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.

Virginia has become the latest state to propose a special tax (HB720) on whatever the state deems "harmful to minors." Not just porn, but sex ed, LGBTQ+ art, romantasy, who knows what else.

"The power to tax is the power to destroy." — Justice John Marshall, McColloch v Maryland (1819)

Our textbook for the semester is @historyofbdsm.bsky.social's A Lover's Pinch (2018). Chapters 1-2 explore early Christian mortification, flagellation etc.

Why in the early 16th c. did it become impossible to not see sexuality in what had been religious ecstasy?

The Role Of Dungeon Monitors in BDSM Safety - Sex and Psychology BDSM practitioners place a huge emphasis on consent and safety during their practices, and for good reason. Certain kink behaviors can pose great risk to someone’s health and well-being if not done correctly and/or if everyone isn’t on the same page about how they want things to play out. This doesn’t mean people should be...

Dungeon monitors are a staple of any BDSM party or event. They are tasked with making sure that rules are followed, consent is maintained, and things are safe, intervening if needed. https://www.sexandpsychology.com/blog/2026/1/12/the-role-of-dungeon-monitors-in-bdsm-safety/
