(Alas, since the videos are hosted on YouTube they're not actually demonstrating the talents they're discussing ... but that's what you have us for!) After the jump, taste a sample episode starring Babelog alumna Carlotta Champagne.

<![CDATA[ It looks like London is changing their mind ... ]]> 2008_02_15_cranach.jpgIt 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

And it's not even like her boobs are that big or anything! (sex-and-blogs.com)

<![CDATA[ "Seduced": The History Of Erotic Art ]]> 2007_10_10_art.jpgEven 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.

When "Seduced"—which is erroneously billed as the "first ever mainstream exhibition devoted to sex"—opens this Friday, it will feature everything from classical Roman artifacts to ancient Japanese paintings to modern day photographers like Jeff Koons and Nan Goldin. The moral of the story: Pervs have always been with us, so take care of that copy of "Debbie Loves Dallas" because you never know ... it might be in a museum some day.

<![CDATA[ The Best Of Swedish Erotica - In London ]]> 2007_09_26_sweden.jpgEveryone 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!)

2007_09_26_swedish2.jpg
If you happen to be in London next week, we highly recommend checking these films out, because if there's one thing they do best (besides modular furniture) it's turn people on (though if you're expecting that other kind of "Swedish Erotica", you may be disappointed—it's not that kind of exhibition.) It's times like this that we really miss the Concorde.

<![CDATA[ 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.

- - -

Deep has been banging men on the Internet for over a year, so I didn't ask how she prepared for this birthday event. I did, however, ask what she ate.

"A bit of tomatoes and mozzarella halfway through and then a proper meal of pasta and handmade pesto afterward."

2007_9_13_ds2.jpg

Aside from a man whose penis resembled a G-spot dildo and a man with a ten-inch penis (pictured), the attendees were normal blokes, memberes of Deep's website or friends of members.

I asked if Deep was sore.

"Not the intimate parts," she said. "But the knees and my neck - from the positions - are aching."

Deep was right back at work today, handling a comparatively paltry five men. I asked what her advice might be to Fleshbot readers who want to try gangbangs of their own, aside from inviting me.

2007_9_13_ds3.jpg

"Do it only fun-wise," Deep advised. "If you do it only for the stunt i have the feeling that you are gonna regret it. Sex must be fun, first of all. Without it it's not gonna be any good for your spirit."

(Joke's on her; I have no soul.)

Deep did not handle administrative duties alone; her husband checked IDs and Nasty Lidya performed fluffing duties.

Despite this, I was concerned about the man who was turned away.

"What about that poor 78th guy?" I asked.

"He showed up at 11:40. He was supposed to be there at 5. He probably had to go see the late movie with his wife."

<![CDATA[ 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.

<![CDATA[ Touring London's Sex "Theme Park" ]]>

Despite news reports which describe it otherwise, we're not sure if the Amora Academy of Sex and Relationships really qualifies as a "sex theme park." After all, there's no curved-penis roller coasters or a vagina jungle cruise—not even a Tunnel of Love. What it does have is a plethora of sexual exhibits like the Spankometer and the wall of willies, all disguised as an educational center. Think of it as an interactive art museum, complete with dolls that light up when you touch their naughty bits. Amora opened to the public this week in London, and The Sun has put together a preview package with photos, video and what might be the longest article to ever appear in the tabloid. Hey, they take their sex very seriously over there—and so does the Academy—but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to giggle a little bit at the orgasm face video collage. You're only human.

<![CDATA[ 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.

<![CDATA[ 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.)

<![CDATA[ 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?

<![CDATA[ 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.
