2008 Sexies Honor The, Er, Sexy We're all used to coming across a fair amount of sex negative journalism in mainstream media—which makes this list of winners from this year's Sexies all the more deserving. We're especially excited to see that New York Times Magazine article on Kink.com we liked so much honored with a prize—though everyone who entered is still a winner in our book. Keep fighting the good fight, people! (sexies.org; also seen at aetoday.com)

Note to aspiring sex advice doler-outers: It's fine to want to be "edgy" by padding your brand new column with incest-themed questions or whatever, but don't go stealing questions from our man Dan Savage in order to do so. There's an awful lot of us here who are watching his back, you know. (Jezebel; update @ poynter.org)

The Sexies: Sex-Positive Journalism Awards

We're not sure what you call a group of sex-positive writers (A gaggle? A slippery fistful?), but it seems a cabal of the nation's most esteemed have convened in some secret fortress of sex-negative doom to create The Sexies: The 2008 Sex-Positive Journalism Awards. The superpower judges are heavy-hitters, ranging from sex educators like Carol Queen and Dan Savage to notorious pro-sex, pro-porn activists Marty Klein and Judith Levine, hopefully coming up with some sort of doomsday testes-shrink-ray to be used on the likes of Bill O'Reilly and his fundie fanboys. On the serious side, they're now taking submissions and donations, with 2007's winners to be announced next year. They explain "sex-positive journalism" in detail on their site, but we just want to know—do our random acts of sex-positive LiveJournalism count?

Porn: America's Addiction!

"Lance Tracy is a porn addict, and it almost destroyed his marriage." Thus begins the latest media investigation of pornography and its vicious assault on innocent Americans. CNN Headline News is airing a four-part series on the porn menace starting tonight, and you can get a taste with this short video on CNN.com. The teaser clip has all the hallmarks of good old fashioned TV journalism: haunting music, frightening camera angles, disturbing tales of men spending "four to six hours a day online" (lightweights!), and scare quotes from doctors like "internet pornography is the crack cocaine of sexual addiction." Tune in to see totally objective reporter Glenn Beck provide a not-at-all sensational look at porn's evil, evil ways. Honestly, we have no idea who Glenn Beck is, but that big pointy finger and arched eyebrow do make us feel very naughty indeed. If only we had someway to release all that pent up energy without actually hurting ourselves or anyone else ... More »

Strippers of London

Our globetrotting siblings over at Gridskipper point us in the direction of photographer Gail Orenstein's lucious photographs of the exotic dance scene in London, which are notable both for their anthropological value as well as for the copious amounts of boobage on display. Guess travel really does broaden the mind in more ways than one. More »
