A disturbing study discovered by the Onion, found that pornography is warping kids’ expectations of sex. Many of the children that watch these videos, or “read” these magazines grow up thinking that sex is going to be fun and pleasurable. Those poor bastards.

Think you know the meaning of virginity? You’ll be surprised to find out what Jessica Valenti discovered. In her new book The Purity Myth: How America’s Obsession with Virginity Is Hurting Young Women, the founder and executive editor of Feministing.com takes on the virginity movement, and argues that it’s high time we disassociate female morality and sexuality. Recently, I sat down with Valenti to discuss the book, the myths, and what’s going on at those Purity Balls.
So, what is the purity myth?
The purity myth is the lie that virginity or sexual abstinence has some bearing on who we are as people, as good people, women in particular. More specifically, what the book talks about is how that lie and how that myth is really a driving force in a lot of the conservative moves to regress women’s rights and to reinforce traditional gender roles. So, how they’re using this myth of sexual purity, this fear of young women’s sexuality, to promote their agenda for women.
You argue in the book that America is obsessed with virginity, female virginity specifically, and that there is, in fact, an entire movement fuelling this obsession. How exactly do you define the “virginity movement?”

Men who lasted less than a minute in bed have to endure a whole rigamarole of counseling, anti-depressants, fix the underlying problem yadda yadda whatever. Not anymore, because now there’s a miracle numbing spray.
Composed of lidocaine and prilocaine, the anesthetic was recently successfully tested on 200 men, according to an article in the April issue of — we’re not making this up — the journal BJU International.
Men using the spray using the spray lasted 6.3 times longer, or upwards of two minutes for 74 percent of them (way to go, champs!). That compares with 1.7 times longer for men using a placebo, but still enduring the deflating effects of timing their sex with a stopwatch and spraying themselves down five minutes before penetration.

The female orgasm may be in danger. The culprit: the over-sexualization of the feminist movement. At least, that’s according to a blog post on the Sexist by Amanda Hess. She declares that, if forced to suffer through one more boring essay on the mysteries of the female orgasm in the name of feminism, she may never climax again.
The anti-sex-positivity ranter was set off by the 2009 Visions in Feminism Conference, a yearly symposium held Saturday at American University. Or, more specifically, it was the keynote speaker that rankled her: None other than Annie Sprinkle, a second-wave feminist performance artist who infamously spread her legs onstage and invited spectators to observe her nether regions. Since the theme of this year’s conference was “pushing boundaries” and “unfixing definitions of feminism,” Hess “humbly” proposed “that we unfix this ‘sex-positivity’ shit from the entire praxis.”
It isn’t that she thinks the porn industry, sex work and human sexuality aren’t relevant to feminism. She just thinks it’s “condescending to the feminist movement that we have to bring orgasms in to be taken seriously.” Her insinuation is that sex-positivity is an attempt at making feminism seem “less prude and scary and icky and straight-laced and serious and anti-man.” Since when is talking about the importance of female pleasure a shortcut to being taken seriously as a woman? If anything, claiming a version of sexuality that doesn’t include bunny ears and a fluff tail — meaning one that isn’t base solely on male fantasy — is the express route to being considered “serious and anti-man.”

If Blockbuster survives, it won’t be because of me.
The last time I rented a movie from the ailing video chain was probably about five years ago. And no, I haven’t been boycotting out of any high-minded commitment to the mom-and-pop independents that Blockbuster slew by the dozens during its unstoppable expansion in the past two decades. I appreciate local businesses as much as any Salon reader, but what soured me on Blockbuster was something a little less idealistic: Every time I rented something there, I forgot about it, keeping the movie out a day or two too long, which racked up a big bill when I finally did bring it back. The late fees, in the end, were what drove me away. If the chain does stay open, I probably have to pay it $20 from some long-returned DVD before it’ll let me take out another movie. (It wasn’t just me, either; in 2005, the company had to settle a lawsuit over automatically charging people the full replacement cost of a movie if they kept the discs out for more than a week, and then charging a $1.25 “restocking fee” to anyone who brought back a movie Blockbuster had declared lost.)…
Blockbuster presented customers with a binary choice: Breeze through the shelves with a handful of new releases, or scour a sorry back catalog collection for something — anything — you hadn’t already seen. Home from college in the mid-’90s, I remember wandering through one local Blockbuster (there were three within a 10-minute drive of my parents’ house) looking in vain for the third shelf of what turned out to be a two-shelf documentary section. The chain may never have actually censored movies, but its family-friendly public image was so stodgy that no one had trouble imagining it did (“We have heard that for years,” a corporate flak told Salon a couple years ago), and its available titles stuck pretty carefully to the less objectionable areas of the MPAA ratings. The chain left the indie and foreign films to the few brave independent stores it hadn’t pushed out of business, stocking dozens of copies of the big studios’ new releases and purging most movies out of circulation within a year or two. But even if you found something you could settle on renting, it wasn’t easy: At least back then, you couldn’t check out a movie without having your membership card with you. And the card was slightly bigger than a credit card, so it didn’t fit neatly into a wallet…
For Blockbuster now, as for its competitors back in the day, resistance is futile. Except if you clicked on that link, you’re actually part of the problem. Why go to a soulless corporate video store when you can watch whole movies instantly on your computer, rent them by mail or order up new releases on demand through your cable company? If Blockbuster goes under, it’s hard to imagine the executives at West Coast Video, Suncoast Video or any of the other remaining chains will sleep easily. Meanwhile, the local mom-and-pop store in my neighborhood appears to survive mostly because its pornography section is as large as the rest of the store. But even if that business model means it outlasts Blockbuster, it doesn’t seem like a winner in the long run; after all, the only stuff you can find on the Internet more easily than pirated copies of Hollywood movies is free porn.

"Sex in Dangerous Places" box cover
(News release: LOS ANGELES, CA ) – Leading adult star and Vivid Girl Tera Patrick takes adventurous sex to a new erotic level in her latest film, “Sex in Dangerous Places,” a co-production of TeraVision and adult industry leader Vivid Entertainment.
Patrick stars as a voluptuous, sexually repressed bank manager in her new feature, which is directed by legendary adult film director Paul Thomas. Thomas is the most honored director in the history of the adult industry. The DVD of the movie will be in stores and available online at www.vivid.com
on Wednesday, April 15.
“Tera is the #1 adult star in the world today,” says Thomas. “With her parentage of an American Army doctor father and a gorgeous Thai mother who gave her a refined upbringing, Tera has a natural exotic beauty that plays in stark and brilliant contrast to the role she plays in ‘Sex in Dangerous Places.’”
Patrick introduces us to her character wearing a severely man tailored suit and librarian style eyeglasses. We learn that she is in the midst of a personal journey toward sexual liberation, unable to stop fantasizing about having raw and uninhibited sex with explosive orgasms.
Her fantasy life suddenly becomes a reality when bank robbers invade her staid environment and she winds up in the vault having wild sex among the safe deposit boxes with the chief stickup man, played by Spyder Jonez.
“I was very excited by this movie because the theme of erotic awakening is an important one. “Sex in Dangerous Places” is much more than a turn-on. It goes deeper into fantasy and the idea that we are all sexual animals waiting for the chance to unchain our inner beast. It will definitely unleash libidos all over the place,” said Tera.
“We all have sexual fantasies, even bank managers,” says Thomas. “This movie is all about sexual freedom and I think ultimately everyone, male and female, will identify with our heroine and her adventures as she takes the final steps toward guilt-free bliss. Sometimes I need to encourage actresses to have the courage to find that deepest, most naturally sensuous part of themselves to bring to a character,” he adds. “Tera found that part of herself from the opening scene and she was in heat throughout the shoot.”

LITTLE FALLS, N.J., April 7 — A topical spray applied five minutes before intercourse delays premature ejaculation, researchers found.In a phase III randomized controlled trial, men with the condition who used the investigational PSD502 spray extended time to ejaculation from less than a minute to about four minutes, W. Wallace Dinsmore, M.D., and Michael G. Wyllie, M.D., of Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, Ireland, reported online in the British Journal of Urology.
The men and their partners also reported significantly increased ejaculatory control and sexual satisfaction, the researchers said.
