It’s hard not to dismiss this piece in TIME by Belinda Luscombe, titled “Why We Flirt,” with the pat answer: because we want to fuck. But it’s the stuff in the margins, when we flirt despite no real intention to follow through, that is much more interesting. Still, I can’t help but read blips like [...]

Lest you think we were put off by our discovery of Shop Erotic, the home television shopping program for sex toys for men and women, we present to your this short interview with Miyoko Fujimori, one of the hosts. (She’s also the author of “The Housewife’s Guide to the Practical Striptease.” [Sample video here, housewives!])

This may sound silly, but you should play around with pheromones sometime. I did back in 2004, and just started experimenting with them again after my own girlfriend broke up with me back in September.

A North Carolina man got busted for trying to pick up women by telling him he was a narco. Turns out that’s illegal!
“Melton admitted that he had told employees that he was an officer,” the release stated. “When asked why, Melton said that he did it to impress the ladies. Melton said that he did [...]

Yesterday I plowed through Neil Strauss’ “The Style Diaries,” one half of the “Rules of the Game” set from the author of the book that pushed the current pick-up artist culture into the mainstream, “The Game.”
The Style Diaries are a collection of eleven essays, all but two of which were written during the period in [...]

My friend Jason and I were talking on IM this morning. Or rather, he was talking about BJ and the Bear and I was actually trying to work. But then he linked me to the intro on YouTube, which lead to another, and now this post. Actually, Mike Post.
See, Mike Post wrote a ton of [...]

This video is mildly NSFW depending on how you feel about attractive women hawking sex toys in friendly but clinical fashion. I’m just surprised that this has come to television, even if it is high up the cable dial. Good surprised, though. It’s important to be able to buy strap-on clitoral vibrating scorpions with anal [...]

Vroom cars! I’m in the great city of Detroit right now for the North American International Auto Show. It’s actually part of my duties for Jalopnik, but I’ll still be bringing some coverage around these parts as well. So stay tuned here or click on over to Jalopnik’s Detroit Auto Show coverage to see all [...]

Thanks to the acumen and generosity of one P. Fibiger, our Wordpress hatches should now be battened against that asshole spammer who was inserting links into our posts. Sorry about that.
In retaliation, I have worked a small hex that will forever trap the spammer in the video to Bonnie Tyler’s “Faster Than the Speed of [...]

Although I’ve gone all electric with my shaving gear at the moment, both because I have a beard that only needs modest trimming and because it makes travel easier, this “Roll Up” from John Allan is god damn appealing. It’s basically a strip of leather with interlocking pockets inside that hold various cremes and tinctures, [...]
