When Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew aired, I wondered why Dr. Drew was venturing into the realm of substance abuse instead of sticking with what made him famous: dispensing sex and love advice on his call-in show, Love Lines. This month, Dr. Drew reclaims his throne as the Oprah of American sex with the new reality show, Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew. And by reality, I mean the show features celebrities — though I use the term “celebrity” very loosely. Read the rest of this entry »

Eye candy rubbed elbows with intellectual stimulation last weekend at Madame X, a dimly-lit bar in Greenwich Village. I’ve seen many burlesque shows since I moved to Manhattan, but none as thrilling as this performance by Naked Girls Reading. Lead by burlesque star and NGR creator, Michelle L’amour, the performance featured beautiful, nude women reading selections from banned books.

Doesn’t sound sexy? You’re crazy! But perhaps this clip and some photos* from the show will change your mind… Read the rest of this entry »

William Taylor of Centreville, VA is not happy. Much to the amusement of commuters, he stood at the corner of a bustling intersection for the past two mornings, telling the world he is a cheater.

After Taylor’s wife found incriminating photos on his cell phone, she came up with an unusual punishment for her philandering husband. She specified that, during morning rush hour, he must stand at a busy D.C. area intersection wearing an “I cheated” sandwich board… for a week. Read the rest of this entry »

Sunday, 8/23 was National Go Topless Day, a celebration of women’s equality, including their right to forgo shirts. Festivities took place in several cities including Maui, Miami, Chicago, Portland and, of course, New York.

I went to check out the action at “Boobstock” in Central Park, if only for the opportunity to feel the liberation of wearing just a miniskirt and flip flops on a hot summer day. Boobs of all  shapes and sizes came out to play. Some were beautiful, others had seen better days, but regardless, the mood of the crowd was exhilarating. Read the rest of this entry »

I have an insatiable obsession with Drag Queens. The term encompasses a wide range of atypical performers: respected queens like Apple Love, seasoned bawdy queens like Natasha Richards, and innovative new queens like Gianna Love and Lennox Liemont. Some wouldn’t categorize the later as true drag queens, but there are no guidelines or standards that explain what makes for an officially drag queen. That’s why I’m hunting for a knowledgeable drag queen who will diagram the logistics. Read the rest of this entry »

The “Get Leid Party” Saturday night by Florida’s Finest Couples, was one to remember. I walked into a room full of grass skirts, bikini tops, and Hawaiian shirts. Brian, the website’s owner, was a spirited good looking guy who kept trying to announce my presence on one of the karaoke mic. I guess that means I’m finally a superstar! I declined his offers, worried that no one would want to fuck me knowing I’d critique our sex the next day. Read the rest of this entry »

Entering into a dialogue with his member, he discovers that it dominates his entire life.

It’s Friday night. I’m checking on the contents of a penis-shaped ice mold that I bought at The Todd. The jello shot is shaping up nicely.

I’m still naked and wet from my shower when someone pounds on the door. Bastards are early. My phone rings. The knocking becomes louder. I figure I’ll have more peace if I let them in than if I make them wait until I get dressed. My co-host, Yaoi (pronounced Yow-ee) Lover, asks if everyone was supposed to show up naked or if I was pulling home owner’s privilege. Her fiancé adds that he approves if I am. Middle finger erect, I ask them to check on the stuff in the freezer. I need to get dressed before the rest of the lechers arrive for the hentai viewing party. Read the rest of this entry »

What happens when you combine naked people with the tone deaf and put them in a dive bar? Pornaoke! Yes, the shockingly infamous social event where people sing (or attempt to) karaoke while cheaply shot porn plays on a big screen behind them. It’s been going on every Wednesday for about six years at the Pegasus Lounge in Temple Terrace and is still going strong.

I’m not exactly quite sure of the crowd I was expecting to encounter during my first visit a few weeks ago — maybe a mid-sized crowd of late twentysomething regulars you’d see on any Friday night. The website lists karaoke starting at 10 p.m. and I arrived on time to an empty bar. I was told by the KJ (karaoke DJ, if you don’t know the lingo) that he’d start it when the place got a little more crowded — 30 people maybe. By the time he actually started it was 11 p.m. and the place was packed to the brim with barely legal “alternative” kids sporting long greasy hair and t-shirts with bands I’d never heard of, only a handful of whom could legally drink. I actually felt old for once and I’m 25. But, I figured, who cares? It’s a bar, just drink some more and have a good time laughing at the free entertainment.

The festivities started with a cheap -looking hardcore porn involving two young gentlemen entering the apartment of a skanky cougar woman who got right down to business. Read the rest of this entry »
