The media may continue to debate whether topless sunbathing is still in fashion or not, but given that some Las Vegas hotels are having no trouble finding customers willing to pay to watch topless strippers lounge by the pool it looks like there are some places where it will never go out of style. You just can't argue with that kind of economic evidence. (reuters.com)

Over a year after one NYC boutique hotel started offering room service sex toys, the hot new gimmick that hotels are using to gouge you on pointless amenities customize your lodging experience are sex kits that you can buy at the mini-bar, including condoms and massage oils. Heck, just being in a room that doesn't charge by the hour is enough to get us in the mood. (abcnews.go.com)

American Airlines has only been testing their new wi-fi internet service on 15 flights a day, but the flight attendants union is already asking how they can tone down the porn. Gee, if only they could have used the plane's radar to see that one coming a mile away. (dallasnews.com)

Talk about a rough vacation: all the guests get food poisoning in the hotel restaurant, a family is accused of stealing towels when they try to check out, then security guards shoot a teenage girl in the face with a stun gun, leading to an all-out brawl by the front desk. On the bright side, the whole family did get to see the porn movie being filmed in the hotel lobby. See, Bulgaria isn't so bad! (sundaymail.co.uk; thumb via orgymax.com, via askjolene.com)

Now that all the airlines are looking to add in-flight internet service, the biggest question on everyone's mind is, of course, who is going to be responsible for telling the guy in 18-B to turn down the volume on "Cum Fart Tsumani". Although it could give a whole new meaning to the concept of a "red eye" flight. (foxnews.com)

Maybe if we can tear ourselves away from the AVN Expo the next time we're in Vegas we'll check out the new Erotic Heritage Museum for ourselves—but for now we'll just have to trust the word of people who have actually been there. Although it's not hard to believe that a sex museum is somehow the classiest place in Las Vegas. (latimes.com + nerve.com)

Las Vegas Erotic Heritage Museum Loves A Good Opening

We're frantically shopping last-minute airfares to Las Vegas so we can take in the grand opening of Harry Mohney's Erotic Heritage Museum this weekend: it will open this Saturday for artists, city officials, and critics with the official opening for the general public on Sunday. According to the org's website, "The Museum seeks to bridge the gap between that which is commercial and often misidentified as pornographic, with that which is aesthetic, often identified as folk, pop, and fine art through a common visual language." To which we say, "You had us at gap." (eroticheritagemuseum.com; more @ AVN)

We just found out that next weekend is the fifth annual China Adult-Care Expo—which sounds kinda boring until you realize that "Adult-Care" actually means "sex toys." Who cares about that whole Olympics thing anyway? And anyone have an extra ticket to Shanghai they want to share with us? (shanghaiist.com)

Will Marriott Hotels get rid of hotel porn-on-demand in response to a decade's worth of complaints by religious conservative groups? How are we supposed to masturbate on vacation if that happens? Oh wait, they'll still have that internet thing available. Nevermind, then. (thesmartset.com, via The Frisky)

This just in: Having sex on vacation is way better than doing it in your own home. Um, isn't that why they invented vacations in the first place? (newsweek.com)

It's bad enough that airport security wants to make you fly without shoes; now they want to look at your naked body and then open your laptop and take all your porn! Gee, we wonder why people aren't as interested in flying as they used to be? (quickdfw.com + networkworld.com, via Fark)

The Bunny Ranch in Nevada is fighting back against (Anti-)American Airlines' silly policies, by reimbursing weary travelers for the $15 bag checking fee. So now you can splurge and get that extra reach around! (bunnyranch.com, via jaunted.com)

Family Fun At The Power Exchange

We're glad that someone tipped us off to this great video about San Francisco's inimitable Power Exchange, a "family friendly sex club" even a mother could love—especially if she's into painting cow motifs on the walls of your bondage den. Looks like just the place to take our own family the next time they visit the City By The Bay! (On second thought ... maybe we'll just stick with Fisherman's Wharf.) More »

On The Road Again

So you have your handy GPS unit loaded up with the address of every strip club from Maine to California, but you're afraid of prying eyes getting all up in your Points Of Interest? Let Nudar's new Stealth GPS database show you the quickest way to the nearest "muffler shop" or "headlight service" instead? (They're really strip clubs, though! Get it?) (nudar.com)

Backroads Of Vegas: Joe McGinniss Jr.'s "The Delivery Man"

Like pre-Katrina New Orleans, modern Las Vegas has built its appeal on shaky foundations. In Joe McGinniss Jr.'s book "The Delivery Man," young Vegas natives pin their hopes on self-delusion but make their money on the vices of others. The title character is an always-aspiring artist in love with the prostitute he shuttles to the propped up desert mansions and hotel suites of her clients, and the book is filled with foreboding in the shadow of the casino lights. Published this past January and an excellent read for the Vegas tourist curious about the humanity behind the guilty pleasures, "The Delivery Man" is McGinniss' first book. More »

A British court has just learned that the men who are accused of scheming to blow up airplanes over the Atlantic Ocean, were planning to distract airport security by planting porn magazines and condoms in their luggage. Of course, they were unsuccessful in their dastardly deeds, which definitively proves that porn can defeat terrorism! (Yes, that sounds right to us.) (ninemsn.com.au; see how flight attendants bravely fight terrorism @ viewpornstars.com via askjolene.com)

We're starting to think that Spirit Airlines' old "MILF" promotion was not just a funny coincidence. It does raise an interesting question though—if you join the Mile High Club with two people, do you get double the frequent flyer miles? (Consumerist)

A crack team of airline security experts forced a woman in Texas to remove her nipple piercings before being allowed to board a flight. Her lawyer says, "The last time that I checked a nipple was not a dangerous weapon," but obviously she's never checked Kate Moss on an ice cold January morning. (news.yahoo.com - thanks Dave)

We totally saw this one coming: that Porn Camp Seminar we told you about a few weeks ago is already overbooked. Shockingly, there are more than 12-20 people in (or willing to travel to) the Tampa area who want to know how to make a porn video. Or at least who want to meet Courtney Cummz. (tampabays10.com)

When it comes to strip clubs in downtown LA, there's classy and then there's ... uh, really classy. Being unrepentant sleaze fans ourselves we guess we'll just have to take Gridskipper's word for it, but it's nice to know they're there if we ever decide to treat ourselves to a fancy night on the town. (gridskipper.com)

If you think airplane travel has become unbearable, imagine how the woman on a recent American Airlines flight feels after waking up to find a fellow passenger jerking off onto her hair. Complaining about taking your shoes off at the security checkpoint seem kinda silly now, doesn't it? (startelegram.typepad.com, via Consumerist)

When we try to expense a trip to Hong Kong to check out the red light district our overseers say that we're being oversexed and irresponsible; when our globe trotting brethren at Gridskipper do the same thing it somehow counts as "research". Maybe it's time for one of those horizontal promotions we keep hearing so much about? (gridskipper.com)

Jet-set pervs like us know that getting your sex toys halfway across the world — or just across town — can be a huge hassle ... though the Rolling Toy Trunk promises to make things a little more convenient. It still won't make things any less awkward explaining what those furry handcuffs and vibrating butt plug are doing in our carryon when we go through security, though. (techdigest.tv)

Stripping Stewardesses Make Cockpits Soar

The internets were on the hunt this weekend for a randy stewardess flight attendant caught on videotape showing her crewmates something a little more entertaining than the standard in-flight movie. With nothing much to go on other than a face, The Sun of London was content to make a few bad aviation sex puns and move on, but then a few days passed and up popped video No. 2 of these crazy sky-high antics. We're not really convinced that the same woman stars in both clips, but everyone involved appears to be French and maybe that's just how they do things on that nation's AOM airline. Of course, that might also explain why that airline is now out of business. The moral is that when the captain of your next flight comes over the intercom to tell you it's going to be an uneventful flight, don't believe a word of it. More »

So you're probably not joining the Mile High Club anytime soon, but we may have found the next best thing—a Thai soap opera filled with sex, intrigue and lots of flight attendant catfights! Real flight attendants are not amused, apparently, but how do you think real desperate housewives feel? (guardian.co.uk + Jezebel)

Half of all Australians say they want to join the Mile High Club and 12 percent say they already have—and a full nine percent of those encounters involved actor Ralph Fiennes. (reuters.com; sexy stews via sexbib.com via askjolene.com)

Flesh Flicks: Flying The Very Friendly Skies

We've never really been a fan of air travel, what with the strip search lines and screaming babies and the fear of getting sucked out a window at 30,000 feet like Goldfinger, but this video has us rethinking our previous position. Maybe our problem has always been that we just haven't found the right airline. Does anyone know which carrier employs the rubber-suited stewardesses that volunteer to blow you when you go to the bathroom? Because we're thinking that if their frequent flyer program is even half-way decent, then from now on this will be the only way to fly. More »

As airlines start to consider adding internet features to their in-flight entertainment, two important questions need to be answered: Will you be able to dial up porn on the seat back entertainment system? And does it still count as the Mile High Club if you're only making love to yourself? (yahoo.com, via Gizmodo)

Have you been saving all your money for a cruise, but now you can't afford a bathing suit? Here's the lowdown on cruise lines that offer topless sundecks. (Hint: There aren't any. Go to Europe, you big horndog.) (usatoday.com)

Amsterdam will be covering up prostitute windows in its red light district as part of the city council's directive to clean up its legendary sex trade. Looks like we're going to have to learn to restrict our vices to smoking ganja at cheap cafes and wandering around the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank's house sans pants the next time we visit.

Wow! Only $9 each way? Spirit Airlines is about to have a lot of very happy customers ... or very disappointed ones. (spiritair.com)

And speaking of women on the prowl, Kenya has apparently become the go to place for rich old white women looking to live out all their cabana boy fantasies. And that's why you should never go on vacation with your mom. (reuters.com)

Is it wrong that reading this woman's account of her airport security strip search has got us totally hot right now? For the record, we support profiling if it ensures that every pair of 34FFs are safe and "balanced." (canada.com)

Yes, we all want to join the Mile High Club, but not if that means threatening a flight attendant and getting you and your fellow passengers diverted to Portland. Doesn't the 3-hour security screening fuck you enough as it is? (kptv.com)

What kind of sick airline flies planes that have private suites with double beds in them, and then forbids passengers from having sex on board? Sounds like mile high entrapment to us. (timesonline.co.uk)
