While we've been busy rounding up some of the year's hottest moments, our friend Violet Blue has been doing more... meaningful work, using the season of listicles to draw attention to some underreported sex news.

Did you know Playgirl folded went online only? Or that sex toys are really, truly legal in Texas now? Or that Google has trouble locating the clitoris? What a wild and crazy year, eh? Let's hope next year's just as exciting (though if Google could learn to find the clitoris in the next 365 days, that'd be stellar.).
