The latest sex books

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Is chaste the new sexy?..
2006 was the year of the raunch, when pole dancing went feminist and “empowerment” became synonymous with a baker’s dozen Jell-O shooters and a topless spot in Girl’s Gone Wild.

But if this year’s crop of “sexy” books is any guide, the backlash is now in full effect. Sure, Porn 2.0 is grabbing more viewers than ever. But with sex so commonplace, people, or at least publishers, are looking for what’s next.

This year’s sex-culture books feature virgins, men vacuuming and crafty sex toys. And, really, what’s less sexy than those?

The Bunny Book: How to Walk, Talk, Tease and Please Like a Playboy Bunny (Chronicle Books)

Sort of like a sexed-up version of The Rules, mixed with a little Swell, The Bunny Book eases you into Heffner-honed advice with sections on grooming, how to dress, and how to hold a drink before delving into the nitty-gritty sex stuff (anal and all). Though you might not want to take the tome out in public (considering the hot pink cover and candy-coloured pages), with illustrations by Annabelle Jasmin Verhoye, it’s fine for home-based consumption. The verbiage leaves something to be desired and features an overabundance of words like coochie, tushy and titties, but the advice itself is fairly realistic and not unlike anything you might find in a popular women’s mag. Think Cosmo. Believe it or not, Bunnies don’t like to weigh themselves, they’re big on safety, and they’re “hopeful about monogamy” even though they “don’t think people are naturally monogamous.” Most importantly, they’re down with personal choice.

A vibrating condom: a legal contraceptive or illegal sex toy?

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

In India, the land of the Kama Sutra — the timeless treatise on love — a ruckus has broken out over the marketing of a vibrating condom. Some politicians have declared it a sex toy, which should be banned as it goes against the country’s culture, while health officials are classifying it as a birth control device.The controversy was recently sparked when Kailash Vijayavargiya, minister in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh accusing his coalition government of promoting sex toys and sex for pleasure.

The world famous erotic temples of Khajuraho, a big draw among tourists — both Indian and foreign — is located in Madhya Pradesh.

Vijayavargiya’s ire was raised against the sale of ribbed condoms that are fitted with a vibrating ring. He posited that condoms as a birth control method are fine, but objected to the noted ‘add-on.’

The sale of sex toys and pornography is banned in India.

Friday, February 9th, 2007

Anna Nicole Smith, the pneumatic blonde whose life played out as an extraordinary tabloid tale — Playboy centerfold, jeans model, bride of an octogenarian oil tycoon, reality-show subject, tragic mother — died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39.She was stricken while staying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and was rushed to a hospital. Edwina Johnson, chief investigator for the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office, said the cause of death was under investigation and an autopsy would be done on Friday.Just five months ago, Smith’s 20-year-old son, Daniel, died suddenly in the Bahamas in what was believed to be drug-related.
Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said a private nurse called 911 after finding Smith unresponsive in her sixth-floor room at the hotel, which is on an Indian reservation. He said Smith’s bodyguard administered CPR, but she was declared dead at a hospital.
Through the ’90s and into the new century, Smith was famous for being famous, a pop-culture punchline because of her up-and-down weight, her Marilyn Monroe looks, her exaggerated curves, her little-girl voice, her ditzy-blonde persona, and her over-the-top revealing outfits.

According to the New York Times, Gregory Clayman, the owner of the live-action company Video Secrets, anticipated selling not just videos in major hotels, but also images of porn stars having sex live over the hotels’ entertainment systems.
