Over coffee this morning, I saw a few Facebook posts from female friends, excited about showing off some cleavage for “Boobquake” this Monday. While I wanted to be happy about some counterculture movement, this one just made me sigh.

In case you haven’t heard, Boobquake was started by Jen McCreight, a blogger at Blag Hag, in response to an Iranian cleric who recently issued a statement that read:

Many women who do not dress modestly… lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes.

Each Week Chanel Reveals Tantalizing Secrets, Including Her Start in Adult Entertainment!

News release: April 6, 2010 — MARINA DEL REY, Calif. — On April 5, 2010, Chanel Preston launched her blog on adult website XCritic.com
 
, revealing an intimate look into her life as an adult star. Each week, Chanel will disclose tantalizing secrets and provide insight into her mind. Chanel’s first blog, titled “Why I Chose Porn!” discusses her reasons for entering the adult industry. Chanel shares her nervousness and exhilaration as she stripped on stage for the first time. Chris Thorne, XCritic.com
 
Editor says, “Chanel is an extremely bright, new talent who right out of the gate is showing her commitment to connecting with her fans. She’s got the stuff that a great modern porn star is made of.

Already extremely dedicated to interacting with people through social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, Chanel felt blogging was the next step. Writing a blog allows Chanel to better tell her story, from her start in the industry, to the everyday pros and cons of life as an adult performer.

“I’d like to thank Xcritic.com
 
, its staff and owners, for providing me with an opportunity to reach so many people on its uniquely prominent platform,” says Chanel Preston. “I chose to align with XCritic.com
 
because it is the most trafficked site by both the adult industry and the consumer.”

Chanel continues, “Porn is a fun and sexy career but it’s still serious business. More and more people are realizing this and are seeking to enter the industry. There’s a lot of competition, which makes it necessary to be more than just a beautiful, horny woman. Social networking is important because it allows me to show legions of fans the fun, unique personality behind my porn star persona. I love blogging and talking to my fans–it’s the only way for them to tell me all the naughty things they want to see me do.”

About Chanel Preston:

Delicate beauty—the symbolic meaning of Hawaii’s hibiscus—is apropos when describing tanned goddess Chanel Preston. Chanel’s long, slender legs and large, full breasts attract lustful stares and obsession about the sweetness of her own flower. However, the similarities between Chanel and the delicate hibiscus stop there. Before wading through the waves on the beaches of Hawaii, the 24-year-old Chanel absorbed the strength and independence derived from a childhood in central Alaska. As a result, the exotic looking stunner has an impulsive, adventuresome personality befitting of a Sagittarius, which makes her a natural performer, eager to amaze.

Acharya Devo Bhavah—the spiritual teacher is god. Millions of Hindus and spiritual aspirants across the world have heeded this phrase from the ancient Upanishad texts as they touch their teachers’ feet in reverence, lay flowers at shrines, and write healthy checks to ashrams, or spiritual centers.

But sometimes the temple is marked with temptation. Last month, a video cropped up reportedly showing the popular Swami Paramahamsa Nithyananda and South Indian actress Ranjitha in flagrante delicto. It’s as though Billy Graham were caught with his pants down (or like Jim Bakker minus the imprisonment*). The uproar has been audible: Indian TV stations broadcast the tape in Hindi, Telugu, Bengali, and Tamil; reporters scrambled to interview police to learn more about the origins of the tape and uncover leads to the actress involved. Nine protesters from an angry crowd were arrested outside of Bangalore for vandalizing Nithyananda’s ashram, Dhyanapeetam.

Ignoring the prohibition of nudity, Muslim artists—many of them women—are now defying religious tenets by painting naked models in pinup poses.

One of Hanan Tabbara’s most provocative sketches is a charcoal and pastel drawing of blood pouring out of a woman’s vagina. She made it after a close friend was raped, and later uploaded it as her Facebook profile picture. For two years now, the 20-year-old, political science student from Brooklyn has been drawing nudes. “I’m aware that it is prohibited but it doesn’t bother me,” Tabbara says.

While the Koran does not specifically ban nude art, the almost universal opinion of religious leaders is that Islam forbids it. However, a handful of Muslim artists have been daring to depict nudity. “This leads to moral consequences that are against Islam,” says Imam Shamsi Ali, the leader of the Islamic Cultural Center of New York. “There is no justification to say it is allowed in the name of art.”

The prohibition principally stems from the taboo against entertaining sexual thoughts that a naked figure might provoke. In this light, Imam Ali also explains that it is “not desirable” for Muslims to view nude paintings, even if they are considered masterpieces. “Islam sees the harms of such exposure outweighing its benefits,” he says. “An artist can have an important message in his work without drawing nudes.”

Having an orgasm used to be so arduous and difficult, it’s no wonder many old people have never had one, or if they have, they seldom talk about it or tell their spawn about having one. In times of yore, before YouTube videos and electricity, rubbing one out was akin to deciding to make a trip from New York to San Francisco in a covered wagon. You could get halfway there, but if something broke down and it was winter, you might have to eat something horrifying to make it out alive. With your pants down, bandits could attack you at any moment. There were vibrators, but they were made of wood and powered by pedaling, or frightened rodents running in little exercise wheels. Everything had to be done by hand. There was no lube until 1910, so if the friction didn’t kill you, fire was always a concern. You had to use corncobs as freshwipes. People had to make their own amateur porn.

The horrors of the past are mostly behind us. Now that we’re more civilized about our sexuality, we no longer have to suffer achieving orgasms through primitive methods, carving our dildos out of root vegetables or whatever porn starlets did in caveman times. Now we have technology. Now we have plastic. We have batteries. We have bandwidth. And fortunately, we have handcuff keys.

And this has all changed the way we, er, come together. And not necessarily for the holidays. Sex toys are now, for many people, life-changing items. When I idly asked the Twitter and the Facebook what sex toys had changed people’s lives, I didn’t expect the overwhelming response; now that people are more sexually sophisticated they’ve traded shame for sexual savvy, and over a hundred people stepped right up to volunteer to me which toy, when used with amour, made their view of the world a little brighter.

LOS ANGELES — Peter Housley puts it simply: Twitter is a tool.

“The biggest problem with Twitter is that people log onto it and say, ‘What the heck is this?’ It’s not a user-friendly tool like Facebook, but it’s a tool.”

Housley has cashed in on the Twitter-mania with a network of sites that aggregate adult industry twitter activity and operate under the corporation NaughtyTweet.com. He’s the CEO. In all, Housley told XBIZ that his sites rack the daily goings-on of almost 600 performers, executives and other industry members.

It’s just before lunchtime in the sunny, high-tech headquarters of Facebook in Palo Alto, Calif., and Simon Axten is cuing up some porn. A photo of a young couple sloppily making out pops onscreen. It’s gross, but not against the rules, so Axten punches a key to judge the image appropriate. Next up: a young woman in panties only, covering her breasts with her hands. “That’s pretty close,” Axten says, pondering the image. There’s nothing arbitrary about his judgments: at Facebook, they have developed semiformal policies like the Fully Exposed Butt Rule, the Crack Rule and the Nipple Rule. In this photo there’s no visible areola, he decides, so it stays. The next photo is a male clad only in a black thong and angel wings. Utterly nonplussed, Axten OKs the picture. After delivering a verdict on 75 of the 438,848 outstanding photos flagged by Facebook users—buff guy soaping up in the shower (OK); girl blowing an epic cloud of pot smoke (he deletes it); an underage user drinking from two liquor bottles at once (ditto)—Axten is off to a meeting. It’s just another day at the office of the world’s fastest-growing social-networking site.

At Facebook, Axten isn’t some fringe employee doing unmentionable work. The 26-year-old Stanford grad is one of some 150 people the young company employs to keep the site clean—out of a total head count of 850. Facebook describes these staffers as an internal police force, charged with regulating users’ decorum, hunting spammers and working with actual law-enforcement agencies to help solve crimes. Part hall monitors, part vice cops, these employees are key weapons in Facebook’s efforts to maintain its image as a place that’s safe for corporate advertisers—more so than predecessor social networks like Friendster and MySpace. “[They were] essentially shanghaied by pornography and sexual displays,” says David Kirkpatrick, author of the forthcoming book “The Facebook Effect.” It’s a tricky job: by insisting that users sign up under real names and refrain from posting R-rated photos, Facebook hopes to widen its user base to include upscale professionals, but at the same time it’s aware that too much heavy-handed censorship could upset its existing members. “If [Facebook] got polluted as just a place for wild and crazy kids, that would destroy the ability to achieve the ultimate vision, which is to create a service for literally everyone,” Kirkpatrick says—and then its potential for profits would disappear, too.

Internet companies have long grappled with illicit postings. As far back as 1993, AOL‘s “community action teams” were reviewing e-mail and chat-room activity. Craigslist has long been beset by ads for prostitution; in November, the site began cooperating with attorneys general to curb posts to its “Erotic Services” section, and last month Boston police apprehended a med-school student later charged with murdering a woman who’d placed a “massage services” ad on the site. In 2005, as user-generated content platforms exploded at sites like YouTube, Flickr and Digg, the need to screen content grew rapidly as well, increasing demand for online cops.

Walking into a roomful of past acquaintances can elicit nail-biting anxiety, especially when the No. 1 question on everyone’s lips is: “What do you do?” Wachner, a freelance comedy writer, was no exception.

So, rather than attend her reunion, Wachner, 31, sent someone else in her place, a stripper, and made a documentary about it.

“I Remember Andrea” wasn’t picked up by the film festivals this go-around, but Wachner did find a manager who took interest in her project. They are shopping it around as a reality TV show or a narrative feature.
