I leave San Francisco tomorrow night to go debate this woman. The first two parts of this documentary are definitely enlightening.
Part I
Part II
More to come, will post as they come in.
UPDATE
Irony of ironies, users within the Youtube community flagged these as pornographic. Here are some alternate links:
Why is the consumer world so obsessed with lady bits lately? You can buy muff-specific shampoo, dye your bush, tint your inner labia youthful caucasian pink, and vajazzle your vulva. Apparently the only thing prohibited is mentioning a vagina by name.
Once you’ve endured the burning pink flesh tint, ripped the right patches of hair, washed with minty shampoo, dyed your pubes, and bling’d yourself out, uh, down there, the next step is to put a smoothing buffer patch between your lady junks and your tight-ass pants.
Enter: The Cuchini. Their website text sums it better than I can:
Hey Girls. Camel Toe might be hot… if you are a Guy!! But who wants to be the one sporting it? Some secrets are meant to be kept. As we have evolved, hair down there is a thing of the past. As the landing strip and Brazilian wax have become prominent in today’s world, there is no bush for the cush. And though Camel Toe may be a hot topic… it’s not to the gal sporting it!
I have another solution: stop wearing such tight ass pants if you don’t want the world knowing you have labia. You do not need to look like an anatomically neutered Barbie doll.
If the Cuchini is strange as a product, the website is even weirder. The front page has an awful camel-toe song set to Beach Boy’s “Cocomo”.
Aaahhh, the shaming power of parody songs. And the mystifying power of poorly picked product mascots. Come on. A shy yet seductive camel-human hybrid in a bikini?
Maybe we’ll soon see a male version of this called the “Kendoll” for hiding your man junks while wearing super-tight hipster pants.
I’m not saying camel toe isn’t a little unsightly, just not for the reasons Cuchini claims. When I see camel toe I cringe thinking about the pinch of fabric between labia. I wonder if the patches make it more uncomfortable.
At the very least, I think the Cuchini makers need a different video on their front page. How could they pass over the classic Fannypack track “Camel Toe”?
Thanks to Beth for alerting me to the weirdness!
Remember that stupid Porn for Women book featuring fully-dressed men doing household chores? Randall Munroe at xkcd made an awesome strip about its asinine (not to mention heteronormative) premise.

Today at 2pm PST I’ll be the weekly guest on KPSU’s Sex Talk in Portland. (Streaming here.)In honor of PDX, here’s a video from local artist Storm Large.Video is SFW, save for some scantily clad dancers in the end, and a grinding dance train featuring someone in a bear costume. But really, who doesn’t love a dirty bear?
My vagina is eight miles wide
Absolutely everyone can come inside!
Thanks to @randomviolins for the link!
I dedicate this one to all the “overtly sexual” banned iPhone apps. Our prurient interests drive new tech. Photographs were naughty at the outset. Motion pictures were smutty from the start. The internet is for porn, and iPhone apps are for dirty deeds.
Sesame Street puppets, get down with the Avenue Q lip-synch.
I heart Diesel’s marketing. Before the recent Be Stupid ad campaign, they gifted the world with some porn edits that are safe for the whole family. Kind of.
Mostly, this video reminds me how silly we look when we have sex.
(Thanks for digging up this oldie but goodie Francisco! How many porn stars can you name in the clip?)
A wise woman in my cohort remarked, “There is a massive difference between immaturity and childishness.” I hope my fervent love for the newest icanhascheezburger LOLSite is simple immaturity.
Go check out Things That Are Doing It to satiate your inner LOLPerv. NSFW for those with their minds in the gutter. That’s just a carrot, pervert.
In response to my post yesterday about vibrators and relationships. I love this video. Vibrators aren’t evil apparently, just annoying if granted personality and speech. (No embedding, press play then click over to Youtube to watch.)
Once again, the French are killin’ it with their condom PSAs. Cute, sexually explicit, and to the point. My only criticism is that sexist notions drive the storyline (desiring penis chases guarded vagina), but sexist notions often comprise sexual cultural consciousness.

Sifl & Olly was one of my favorite shows as a teen. Truly too weird to live, though. Check out their interview with Orgasm and G-Spot.
