The artist’s statement about the work:

Whenever asked, “How long did it take you to make this?” I always respond, “My whole life up to that moment.” And it’s true.

I never liked the idea that someone could just buy my work. I develop ideas forever, then struggle with finding a way to execute them that makes sense, often traversing through several iterations. And then someone writes a check and that’s the end. What?

I work too hard on this stuff. Simply paying for it and hanging it on a wall is too easy. I don’t want anything I do becoming another inanimate object that decorates someone’s home. I want more. I want ramifications!

So I came up with this. This feels more like a real transaction. Yes, you get to own something I made, but you also accept some responsibility. Put this on your wall and you have to be more honest as a result. It’s more than just an image, it becomes a point of interaction with everyone who comes into your home. It’s simple ink on paper, but wherever it hangs, there’re social implications.

It’s not for everyone.

We have written about Steve several times in the past on Laughing Squid.

For their new season, Netherlands-based TV show Metropolis traveled to Tokyo, Japan to meet Masanobu Sato, the world champion of masturbation. This hilarious preview of the episode starts with Masanobu in his “two-hour training” while his girlfriend casually sews and cooks. She considers masturbation his “hobby” but Masanobu takes it very seriously, so much so that flew to San Francisco and won the prize (and world record) for the “Longest Time Spent Masturbating/Male” (9 hours and 58 minutes) in the 2009 Masturbate-a-thon. The entire episode is dedicated to “the last taboo” and answers the questions: “What does the world think of masturbation? And how do they do it?”

Baconlube is the “world’s first bacon-flavored personal lubricant and massage oil” brought to you by the bacon-flavoring experts at J & D’s. It started as an April Fool’s Day prank but now it’s a real (and apparently delicious tasting) product. Quick, it’s only available to purchase for a limited time.

Before you start giving meat-flavored massages, we have one small admission to make – baconlube began as an elaborate April Fool’s prank and was never intended to be a real product. But when the joke ended, the emails kept coming. People harassed us via email, in public and in highly inappropriate ways (thanks for that). The waiting list grew to over 3,000 people. Expectations were built.

So who’s responsible for this highly anticipated creation actually coming to life? You are, that’s who. You and an intern named Martin actually, who sacrificed and offended his taste buds in the name of science on sample after failed sample before this really did taste like bacon.

In this freakishly bizarre music video for “Big Bad Wolf” by DJ duo Duck Sauce, we follow the tale of two men whose libidos are embodied by second heads protruding from their crotches. The men (and their second heads) go about their day and then prepare for a night on the town, where they meet some women, and well, you’ve been warned.

The video is directed by Keith Schofield and the unforgettable visual effects are by Caviar. Duck Sauce is perhaps best known for their absurdist dance single “Barbra Streisand.”

Blackboards in Porn is a site that reviews the blackboards found in school-themed pornography for accuracy and educational level.

The handwriting is large and generally clear, even though this class appears to only have one student in it, and he sits at the very front. It might be worth advising the student to have his eyes tested if he is unable to read smaller text at this distance. Remember that poor learning may be as a result of poor vision – the student might not even be aware that he has a problem. If the teacher does keep her handwriting that size she will have to get a bigger whiteboard when she starts doing quadratic equations. Finally, when writing algebraic equations, it is preferable to do a more cursive x for the unknown symbol, to avoid confusion with a multiplication sign.

Octopoteuthis deletron, a species of deep sea squid, engages in same-sex sexual behavior according to a new research paper by Hendrik J. T. Hoving and fellow researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. The researchers found evidence that male squid were attempting to mate with males with the same frequency they mated with females. The researchers theorize the behavior is the equivalent of a “shoot first, ask questions later” policy:

The researchers think that male squid may mate with any member of their species they encounter, which helps these rare animals take advantage of any possible chance to reproduce. Co-author Bruce Robison explains, “This is a solitary species that is not very abundant; it lives in deep, dark waters where opportunities for reproduction are few and far between. In response to that challenge, this reproductive strategy ensures that no opportunity for successful mating is lost. It’s kind of like buying a Lotto ticket, except the odds are much better.”

The fifth annual Arse Elektronika, a conference on sex and technology, takes place in San Francisco from September 29 to October 2, 2011. The conference is presented by Austrian art collective monochrom.

The remarkable diversity of human behavior across cultures and classes also extends to sex and technology. Most discussions in this area tend to make certain assumptions about the culture, class, and race of the participants. Technologically represented sex tends to be ableist and heterocentric. Who gets left out of this, what effects does this have, and what would it look like to include them?

The Oatmeal takes a look at what we should have been taught in our senior year of high school.

Strange Attractors: Investigations in Non-Humanoid Extraterrestrial Sexualities is an upcoming book and DVD that explore alien sexuality through art, film, and “speculative science.” The book is not about human-alien sex, a subject that has already been explored in great detail, judging by the 1.9 million Google search results for that term.

Strange Attractors is a collaboration between the The Institute of Extraterrestrial Sexuality and publisher Encyclopedia Destructica. They are raising funds for the project on Kickstarter.

Inspired by Kepler’s voyage into deep space on a quest for earth-like planets, this project has gone beyond male and female, beyond queer, beyond any notion of gender, beyond the anthropomorphic to erotic possibilities as vastly varied as the universe itself. Discover what kinds of sentient beings, what types of sexualities, how many erogenous zones and types of erotic pleasure might exist out there in the universe!

“It happened in 1969. And it happened in San Francisco.”

It’s kind of hard to imagine that prior to 1969 there were no professionally made films that showed people having sex. In fact it was a court case that year which established that it was legal to even have a porn film in your possession.

From Wikipedia:

Those that were produced were produced underground by amateurs starting in the 1940s. Processing the film by commercial means was risky as was their distribution. Distribution was strictly private. Denmark was the first country to legalize pornography in 1969, which led to an explosion of commercially produced pornography. It continued to be banned in other countries, and had to be smuggled in, where it was sold “under the counter” or (sometimes) shown in “members only” cinema clubs.

It was a 1970 “documentary” by San Francisco native Alex de Renzy with footage of the Red Light District in Denmark that finally got sex on the big screen legally. The fig leaf being that it had redeeming social value in educating about Danish culture. Almost overnight, De Renzy and other industrious San Franciscans became filmmakers and burgeoning smut moguls capitalizing on a open-minded population in the post-hippy and gay cultures to quickly get the cameras rolling.

A few years later and to this day, the city of Los Angeles would become the center of a true industry of adult film. The early Bay Area porn scene seems a lot more DIY, fitting of its place and time.

Now a pair of San Francisco filmmakers, both veterans of the current gay porn industry have a made a short documentary looking back at the city’s brief era as the center of smut.

In the late 1960′s the New York Times and many other media outlets named San Francisco “The Smut Capital of the United States.” This honorary title grew from both the reality and the myth of San Francisco, a city where the sexual revolution could be seen on the streets and soon in the movie theaters. This short uses first person interviews and historical research to tell the story of the development of hardcore pornography hitting the big screen.

They’ve already had a successful Kickstarter project to pay for the archival footage used in the film. The 15-minute documentary Smut Capital of America will play film festivals in the near future. More info and background recent interview with the filmmakers.

John Waters is one of the interviews in the film; here he talks about The Hungry Hole, a bar in San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood that was “fairly radical”…

“Foursquare For Sex” by CollegeHumor

The East Coast Regionals for the Air Sex 2010 World Championships take place on Friday, January 14th at The Mercury Lounge in New York City.

Never been to an Air Sex show before? Here’s what you need to know: it’s a lot like Air Guitar, but instead of rocking out with an imaginary guitar, you’re making sweet and/or filthy love with an imaginary sex partner. You choose a clip of music, you show up in whatever sort of wardrobe you like, and you come up on stage and show everyone how you do it. Or how you wish you could do it. Or how you once had it done to you, and oh my god was that a bad idea and while it’s embarrassing to show that act to a room of strangers, you know that you need to do it now in order to make sure that no one else falls down the same rabbit hole you got stuck inside. Or, you know, just do it however you want.

Leicestershire Teenage Pregnancy Partnership in England made “Game On”, a wonderful animated PSA promoting safe sex that features an 8 bit video game where the goal is to find and use a condom.
