The Octomom is nominated for four porn awards.

Nadya Suleman, who rose to fame in 2009 when she gave birth to octuplets via in-vitro fertilization (IVF), has netted herself four AVN Awards for her adult film, Octomom Home Alone.

The movie’s premise is that Suleman, enjoying some time away from her brood of 14 youngsters, engages in some X-rated, lingerie-clad “me” time.

She’ll head to Las Vegas for the Adult Entertainment Expo, Jan. 17-19, where she hopes to do her huge family proud by coming home with awards for Best Celebrity Sex Tape, Best Solo Release, Best DVD Extras and Best Marketing Campaign.

“Our nominees should be congratulated and recognized for a job well done,” AVN managing editor Steve Javors said.

The doctor who helped single-mom Suleman conceive her octuplets was later sacked from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

The group recommends no more than two embryos for women under 35.

Drive-in Sex Booths to Open in Zurich

Zurich city officials hope to have new sex booths, similar to those pictured above that are currently used in Germany, by August

There will be enough booths constructed on the outskirts of the city to accommodate around 30 prostitutes.

City officials hope the booths, which will come with inbuilt panic alarms, will be ready for launch in August.

An on-site counsellor will also be provided in the taxpayer funded scheme.

It is hoped the move will help make the sex industry much safer and more regulated, ABC News reported.

Prostitution will be banned in certain parts of the city and confined to the booths and two other zones after they open in August.

Michael Herzig, spokesperson for Zurich Social Welfare Department, said: ‘The big difference is that until now prostitution is in a public space.

‘Now we are going to change this, transfer it from the street, from a public to a private space to an old industrial area which belongs to the city that give us the possibility to define the rules of prostitution in this space.

‘The women will be better protected from attack, and it will also mean better business for them.

‘With the women right by the sex boxes there is no “travel time” so they can deal with more customers. It’s a better business model than standing on the street.’

Prostitutes will also have to apply for a £26 licence, register with a health insurer and buy a ticket each night for about £3 before they begin soliciting customers from January onwards.

Social Welfare Department officials said the plan is ‘progressing’ and is ready to enter into full-force in the New Year.

Pupil dilation in response to viewing erotic videos indicates sexual orientation

On By A.P.In bisexuality, Cornell University, erotic video, heterosexuality, homosexuality, Human Behavior, New York City, pupil dilation, pupillary reponse, Science, sexual orientation, sexuality, The Brain, Weill Medical CollegeLeave a comment

For the first time, researchers have used a specialized camera to measure pupillary changes in people watching erotic videos, the changes in pupil dilation revealing where the participant is located on the heterosexual-homosexual spectrum. The researchers at Cornell University who developed the technique say it provides an accurate method of gauging the precise sexual orientation of a subject. The work is detailed in the journal PLoS ONE.

Previously, researchers trying to assess sexual orientation simply asked people about their sexuality or used intrusive physiological measures, such as assessing their genital arousal.

“We wanted to find an alternative measure that would be an automatic indication of sexual orientation, but without being as invasive as previous measures. Pupillary responses are exactly that,” says lead researcher Gerulf Rieger. “With this new technology we are able to explore sexual orientation of people who would never participate in a study on genital arousal, such as people from traditional cultures. This will give us a much better understanding how sexuality is expressed across the planet.”

Experimenting with the technique, the researchers found heterosexual men showed strong pupillary responses to sexual videos of women, and little to men. Heterosexual women, however, showed pupillary responses to both sexes. This result confirms previous research suggesting that women have a very different type of sexuality than men.

Interestingly, the new study sheds new light on the long-standing debate on male bisexuality. Previous notions were that most bisexual men do not base their sexual identity on their physiological sexual arousal but on romantic and identity issues. Contrary to this claim, bisexual men in the new study showed substantial pupil dilations to sexual videos of both men and women.

“We can now finally argue that a flexible sexual desire is not simply restricted to women – some men have it, too, and it is reflected in their pupils,” said co-researcher Ritch C. Savin-Williams. “In fact, not even a division into ‘straight,’ ‘bi,’ and ‘gay’ tells the full story. Men who identity as ‘mostly straight’ really exist both in their identity and their pupil response; they are more aroused to males than straight men, but much less so than both bisexual and gay men.”

The Kissinger: Virtual Kissing for Long Distance Relationships

On By A.P.In Bunny, Cow, Human Behavior, Lovotics, Pig, Relationship, sexuality, Swine, The KissingerLeave a comment

 

The Kissinger kissing robot concept from Lovotics lets people virtually smooch with each other. Big silicone lips on each animal-shaped device register and replicate lip movements for long-distance affection.

Kissinger looks like a cross between a cow and a bunny. I know what you’re thinking. That sounds super sexy!

The bot sports some good-size lips. The idea is that you kiss away on your Kissinger and the touch-sensitive device sends the movements to another Kissinger far away. That Kissinger moves its own lips in response.

The lips are made from silicone and the kissing critter makes a sort of buzzing noise when it replicates a smooch.

So far, Kissinger is just lips, no tongue. The robot is in concept form, with no word on wider availability yet.

To summarize, two people each make out with sensitive cow/bunny robots and, therefore, actually make out with each other.

Parents in shock as priest displays gay porn images

On By A.P.In Pornography, Religion, sexuality, TechnologyLeave a comment

A PRIEST has denied knowing how gay porn images appeared on a screen during a presentation he was giving to parents of children preparing for First Communion.

Fr Martin McVeigh was setting up the PowerPoint display when the explicit sex scenes flashed up on the screen.

He was about to give a talk to the parents of First Communicants but abandoned the presentation after the pornographic images appeared.

One of those present said the pictures appeared on the screen after the priest put a USB memory stick into the computer at St Mary’s School in Pomeroy, Co Tyrone.

“There were plenty of shocked faces. There’s a lot of parents very angry about it.”

School principal Sean Devlin is understood to have contacted the Armagh diocese about the incident, which is being investigated by the diocese child protection office.

The Church authorities also went to the police, who said no crime had been committed.

The Archdiocese of Armagh has refused to say whether Fr McVeigh has been suspended from duties or had restrictions imposed on his position while the investigation is under way.

The priest himself insists the pornographic images can be “legitimately explained”.

He told the Ulster Herald newspaper he had no knowledge of how the images appeared on the computer.

A statement from Cardinal Sean Brady said: “The archdiocese immediately sought the advice of the PSNI who indicated that on the basis of the evidence available no crime had been committed.”

A spokeswoman for the Council of Catholic Maintained Schools said they were aware that the principal of the school “immediately referred this matter to the diocesan authorities in accordance with the diocesan safeguarding procedures”.

An emergency meeting was held in the parish last night.

Minnesota High School Boy Trying to Take Porn Star to Senior Prom

On By A.P.In High School Prom, Pornography, Relationships, sexualityLeave a comment

Mike Stone plans to make his first prom a memorable one – with a Los Angeles porn star as his date.

Stone, of Oakdale, created Internet buzz this week after two women with triple-X websites agreed to go with him to the May 12 Tartan High School prom.

He isn’t sure he can raise the money for his dates’ airfare. But if even one of the women accompanies him to prom or anywhere else that evening, it will be a date to remember.

Stone, 18, doesn’t expect any trouble from his parents. “My mom was a little mad, but my dad is OK with it,” Stone said in a telephone interview Tuesday.

The school is another matter. The district has a policy requiring all non-Tartan guests to the prom to get approval in advance. That isn’t going tohappen with Stone’s guests, said Patty Phillips, superintendent of the North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale district.

In January, Stone realized that as a senior, the spring prom was his last chance – he had never been to one.

But he had no date. Then he remembered a 2004 movie called “The Girl Next Door,” in which a teenage boy and a former porn actress fall in love.

Inspired, he spent most of January and February sending Twitter messages to about 600 celebrities, including hundreds of porn actresses.

Stone didn’t woo them with soaring poetry or showers of rose petals. Typical tweets were: “hey Lyndah can u make it to my prom” and “hey nat are you booked up on may 12?”

It worked.

Last weekend, porn actress Megan Piper responded via Twitter, Stone said. She said he would need to pay for her airfare from Los Angeles.

A short time later, porn star Emy Reyes also said she would be Stone’s prom date.

Stone has launched a fundraising drive. A tweet from Stone on Sunday said, “Hey everyone please help me raise to buy Emy Reyes a plane ticket so she can come to my prom on May 12.”

Stone said he has no specific plans for the date. “I will take them to dinner, then the dance,” he said.  He plans to rent a tuxedo.

On Twitter and on several websites, many readers cheered him on as a kind of teenage folk hero.

Other postings attacked him, such as this one: “To ask a porn star (total stranger) to the prom…says to me, 1.) He thinks he’s going to get lucky; and 2.) wants to impress his friends; or 3.) he can’t get a school date.”

College Student Kicked Out for Writing ‘Hot For Teacher’ Essay

On By A.P.In Censorship, sexuality1 Comment

 

An Oakland University student says he’s considering legal action after he was kicked out of an English class for writing a “Hot for Teacher” essay.

Joe Corlett, 56, of Lake Orion, Mich., admits his writings during a fall 2011 Advanced Critical Writing class contain sexual fantasies about the instructor.

And his handwritten entry, which is now in the hands of a free-speech activist group, uses the title “Hot for Teacher” — a reference to a song on Van Halen’s 1984 album about a student fantasizing about a racy teacher.

“Then there’s Miss (teacher), English 380,” Corlett wrote, explaining his thoughts of dropping the class. “She walks in and I say to myself, ‘Drop, (expletive), drop.’ Kee-rist, I’ll never learn a thing. Tall, blonde, stacked, skirt, heels, fingernails, smart, articulate, smile. I’m toast but I’ll stay. I’ll (screw) up my whole Tuesday-Thursday class thing if I drop. I’ll search for something unattractive about her. No luck yet.”

Corlett said the entries were part of a diary-type assignment with no limitations.

“I asked and she said, ‘No, no topical restrictions,’ ” Corlett said.

Corlett said university officials banned him from campus for 2012’s spring, summer and fall semesters. He was allowed to enroll in two online courses this semester.

He’s waiting to hear whether he’ll be able to continue his education online, he said.

Oakland University spokesman Ted Montgomery said the school could not comment on the matter because it involves student conduct. The instructor could not be reached.

Corlett now has an “incomplete” grade for that class. A university student conduct committee also found him guilty in January of sexual harassment and intimidation charges after a hearing with four professors and two students. He wants that decision reversed.

Corlett has enlisted the help of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a nonprofit education foundation based in Philadelphia that defends individual rights on campus.

“I want to be reinstated,” Corlett said. “I want my lawyer fees paid. I want to be made whole.”

Corlett’s lawyer, Brian Vincent of Lansing, Mich., said the situation comes down to the right to free speech.

“Obviously he’s got a wild sexual imagination in some instances, but it’s not harmful,” Vincent said.

Valentine’s Day Role-Playing Game Ends Poorly for Couple

On By A.P.In Human Behavior, sexuality, StupidityLeave a comment

It was Valentine’s Day in Portlandia — should anyone have been upset about a little friendly bondage action in the back of a Subaru?

Well, yes. The Portland Police Bureau was plenty upset, and the lovers, identified as Nikolas Harbar, 31, and Stephanie Pelzner, 26, are under arrest on charges of disorderly conduct in the second degree.

Portland may be a city that has always prided itself on its eccentricities, but police said the red alert that went out when Pelzner was glimpsed bound and naked in the back of the car was a Valentine too far.

It began shortly after noon on Tuesday, when someone at the New Seasons Market in north Portland reported that they had seen a naked female with duct tape on her mouth tied up in the back of a blue Subaru Legacy.

The man driving the car had told the witness they “were just having some fun,” police said in their report, but the woman in the back of the car “seemed hazy.”

The witness phoned in the license plate to the car, and the search was on.

Authorities in Washington state were alerted, in case the car traveled north across the state line on Interstate 5. Portland police began combing the city’s streets, while a patrol car zeroed in on the address where the car was registered.

By 12:56 p.m., the Subaru drove up, and when officers closed in, Harbar told them the couple was “doing some Valentine’s Day role-playing,” the police report said. Police confirmed from Pelzner “that she was voluntarily bound and nude in the back of the Subaru,” it said.

Not feeling in a loving mood — especially since at least nine police cars were tied up for 20 minutes during the search — authorities booked both of them into the Multnomah County Jail.

Since then, the Portland Police Bureau’s Facebook page has been flooded with comments, most from citizens wondering why people can’t be left to their own devices in the backs of their cars.

“Nothing wrong with that, they were just trying to have some fun, you monsters,” one man wrote.

“Keep Portland weird, man,” urged another.

Others offered helpful suggestions for pursuing the case: “She should be booked for not wearing her safety belt.”

Police say they had no way of knowing they weren’t looking for a potential murder victim.

“The concern is their actions created a pretty substantial public alarm, to the point where you have a 911 caller saying she’s concerned about this person tied up naked in the back of a car,” Lt. Robert King, bureau spokesman, told the Los Angeles Times.

“Why would the officers think it was a Valentine’s Day thing?” he said. “This kind of stuff, whether it’s being naked in the back of a car tied up, or running down the street with an airsoft gun pretending to shoot at people, it’s not OK, because it creates a lot of concern from the public.”

Colorado Man Calls Police to Erroneously Report a Burglar When His Girlfriend Showed Up

On By A.P.In Crime, sexualityLeave a comment

Police say when a Colorado Springs man’s girlfriend unexpectedly came home just before a woman he’d met online was due to visit, he called police to report his new acquaintance as a burglar.

 The 24-year-old Kevin Gaylor was cited with a misdemeanor of false reporting to authorities, the Colorado Springs Gazette reports.

Police say Gaylor had invited a woman he met on Craigslist to come to his home after 3 a.m. Wednesday so they could get better acquainted, but his girlfriend came home first.

According to police, when the other woman arrived, Gaylor called police and falsely reported an intrusion.
