London

Why are you wasting your time trying to find the best way to watch porn on the iPhone when you can view smut on a much bigger screen ... without even leaving the Apple Store! To be fair, the old guy's eyes are so bad he probably thought he was looking at an iPhone. (Flickr, via iphonesavior.com + Gizmodo)

It looks like London is changing their mind on that "no naked goddess in the subway" rule and will now allow the "overtly sexual" Venus painting to be displayed on tube advertisements. Still, it's funny to use the word "tube" when talking about 16-century paintings of naked goddesses. (abc.net.au

Prudish oversensitivity reaches new heights of what-the-fuckness as a poster for a Royal Academy exhibition featuring a 500 year old painting of a naked Venus by Lucas Cranach the Elder is banned from the London Underground for violating advertising guidelines prohibiting material that "depict men, women or children in a sexual manner, or display nude or semi-nude figures in an overtly sexual context". And it's not even like her boobs are that big or anything! (sex-and-blogs.com)

London Calling: Blackmen.net's "Spilling the Tea"

Blackmen.net continues the exploration of exotic locales it began with "Marc's Hawaiian Dreams" with the release of "Spilling the Tea," another all-black muscleboy feature with a British, French and American cast that trades palm trees and sandy beaches for ... uh, cloudy skies and exterior shots of Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square. And just to drive home the fact that you're not watching yet another poorly produced thug DVD, its five scenes are narrated by Maxwell, a ripped dream bottom with a sexy British accent. You can probably guess that tea isn't the only thing that ends up getting spilled.

"Seduced": The History Of Erotic Art

Even though we're happy living in this digital age, it's nice to know that if Fleshbot had been around some 2000 years ago, we still would have had plenty of naughty material to blog about. (Or carve into big stone tablets about?) So when a straight-laced British museum like the Barbican in London wants to put on a show titled "Art and Sex from Antiquity to Now," the hard part isn't finding centuries-old smut to showcase, it's finding a place to put it all.

The Best Of Swedish Erotica - In London

Everyone knows what glamorous jet-setting lifestyles we porn bloggers lead, but even we don't think we'll be able to wing across the pond to catch the Swedish Erotica exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. The Swedes, of course, have a reputation for freewheeling sexual adventure and leggy blonde temptresses, but that reputation stems mostly from their film output of the late 1960s and early 1970s—including such genre classics as "I Am Curious (Yellow)" and "Language of Love" (the movie that Travis Bickle took Jodie Foster to see in "Taxi Driver" ... with music by ABBA, no less!)

Porn Valley (Adjacent) Dispatch: Notes from a Gangbang

Recently we brought you the heartwarming story of Sabrina Deep, the plucky Londoner who wanted to bang 80 men in one fell swoop for her 29th birthday, which was September 11. Tragically, only 77 of them showed up, and a 78th arrived late and needed to be turned away (that's the guy I wouldn't want to be). Read her tale after the gap. More »

If the sultry look and muscled body adorning the cover of London-based homostyle mag AXM's "Naked Issue" look familiar, it may be because they belong to Conn, a 26 year old model and "aspiring writer" who's posed for superstar photographer Dylan Rosser. You can check out some of his writings here, but something tells us you're thinking more about what might go into his mouth than what comes out of it. (ethansays.com)

Old School Nightlight Photos by Derek Ridgers

All you ADD-addled internet kids who see topless hipsters vamping it up in bathroom stalls and VIP lounges for Nikola Tamindzic or the Cobrasnake or Last Night's Party and think those folks are "edgy" need to learn your history. Drug-fueled club kids have been vamping it up in disgusting bathrooms for decades, and even before there was an internets some dude with a camera was usually there to document it. In the case of London's nightlife, that "some dude" usually included Derek Ridgers. Even though his website is not nearly as exhaustive—or exhausting—as today's shutterbugs', his photos do date back to the early '80s (including early iterations of the famous Torture Garden) and prove that freakiness was not invented in 2002. Hopefully, you youngsters will start respecting your elders. More »

Tug Magazine

For a better idea of all that is gay and sexy in the UK aside from drunken palace guards with pasty white bellies, we recommend thumbing through Tug magazine, dedicated to showcasing all the news that's fit to, uh, tug to in the London club, sleaze, escort, and porn scene. Of course, not everyone can pop into the local pub to pick up their own copy, which is why we're glad that they offer a free .pdf download of every issue online; you can even choose to download individual pages in case you're more interested in, say, ringing up Tomas in Soho ("10 real inches!") for elevenses or reading their review of Raging Stallion's "Instinct" than what's going on at Crash or City Station. And if you'd rather just cruise the capital without having to leave the comfort of your own laptop? Well, we guess you can do that too. Feeling so urbane and well-traveled was never so easy. More »

Photos By Luke Stephenson: Morning Glory

Ah, mornings: is there anything like that rush of expectancy and hopefulness with which so many of us bound out of bed as the first rays of sunlight shine through our windows with the promise of a glorious new day? Given the fact that we're lucky if we manage to roll out of the sack before noon every day we guess we'll have to experience the moment via London-based photographer Luke Stephenson's "Morning Glory" series of (self?) portraits that capture the essence of those most eager of daily phenomena. Since Stephenson is a Serious Photographer whose work has appeared in places like the New York Times and the British Journal of Photography we're thinking his primary reason for taking this photos isn't to tittilate, but to artistically demonstrate how the early bird does indeed capture the, er, worm. In the meantime, we can't help but ask: is that a giant bulge in your Calvins or are you just really having to take a wicked piss right now? More »

QXMen (Starring Francesco D'Macho and Marc Williams)

Since this week seems to be all about new issues of European bar rags glossy gay lifestyle magazines, let's cross the Chunnel and check out the new edition of QXMen, a London-based monthly devoted to all things homosexualist and fabulous. The March issue includes the type of stuff you'd probably expect in this kind of publication—porn reviews and escort ads, an article on blowjobs for dummies (which we, of course, skipped right over), a preview of New York's upcoming Black Party, a look at leather parties in Amstedam, safe words in BDSM and role play—as well as some stuff that will come as a very pleasant surprise, such as an interview and cover shoot with the insanely hot Francesco D'Macho and a tasty centerfold spread starring a fully erect Marc Williams wearing only a leather harness. Not a bad deal for a free download if you ask us. God save the queens!-RM

Torture Garden @ Canvas London

We understand if you were a little upset by those Torture Garden party photos we posted last fall: you probably really wanted to be there, but it was in London and at the time you couldn't get a bottle of water through airport security, let alone a rubber cowboy outfit. So we're sorry we rubbed your face in it (even though you probably like when we do things like that, you little worm.) It's a bit last minute, but Torture Garden's next costume/dance/performance art party is this Saturday and even if you can't make this one, don't fret, because the "world's largest fetish and body art club" holds regular get-togethers throughout the year so there's always plenty of opportunities to play along. Their website can tell you more about these theme events, with photo galleries to give you a taste of the action. Before you book your plane ticket though, you might want to check out their own Torture Garden clothing line, featuring the latest in fetish gear fashions, so you can pick up a new gown to wear to the ball. Anyone who can get you a hot outfit and date for Saturday night all at the same time, is someone you definitely want to be friends with. More »

Meet Emily Scott

Given the types of models we've been featuring a lot on Fleshbot this year (you know who they are), you'll pardon our suspicion that there exists a secret cabal plotting to overthrow American babe dominance with a barrage of boobtastic beauties from the far reaches of Britain and beyond. The latest bombshell to hit our shores is 22 year old Aussie-born swimwear model, reality show contestant, "trained Olympic gymnast" (whatever that means) and Lipton Ice Tea spokeswoman (really) Emily Scott, who's featured prominently in both Zoo and Maxim of late and who shows every indication that she's ready to join the rest of her sisters in the Fleshbot hall of fame. Apparently, Emily's stint on ITV's "Love Island" this past summer only lasted a week before she was kicked off in a haze of melted hair extensions—but does she have what it takes to stick around our hearts longer once 2007 rolls around? Both signs point to yes so far. (Oops, guess we should've said "all signs". You know what we mean.) More »

2006 Rubber Ball and Torture Garden Photos

Those moblog pics we posted about before made us think something else: if a fetish event happens and no one takes pictures, does it really exist? Fortunately, photographer Michael Diamond's images of this year's RubberBall and Torture Garden events in London earlier this month make us believe that, yes, these things really did happen—and yes, there were lots of people decked out in all sorts of fetish-flavored fashion with matching hair and accessories. All that latex makes us awfully sweaty—not just in the hot-under-the-collar way, but also in that sweating-to-the-gothies kind of way. Maybe that's why everyone looks so slippery and delicious?

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 »
