The rebranding of sex toys [NSFW]

Remember the 'facial massage' ads?

Designer Jenna Josepher and photographer Jesse Untracht-Oakner do a better job.

C'mon people, this is reality, why the taboo, why the shame?! Sex isn't only about having children (which for a lot of people is cool). It's also about having fun, for which a lot of people are ashamed. We live in a weird world.

SFW is an art experiment that features GIFs of sex toys that have been desexualized.

“The cause” being to cast sex toys in a less skeevy light. Or, as SFW‘s writer Leah Dworkin more eloquently puts it in their mission statement:
"Sex-toy imagery is often suggestive, triggering, and discriminatory, not to mention, advertisements for sexual products can easily make certain viewers feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, judged or excluded. Even though this is how the sex-toy industry has marketed itself in the past, we thought it was time for a change. We not only felt a real responsibility but saw an exciting opportunity to create a new breed of visual imagery within the sex-toy marketplace that was progressive, inclusive, positive, socially conscious and approachable–to all sorts of human beings."

(S)Ex-Libris

When I was younger I bought an ex-libris stamp for my book collection. If someone lend a book, they knew it had to go back to me. These sex-libris illustrations are beautiful, but it would be a bit awkward if you put it in books you lend out to people. Be sure to look at the whole collection.

Eveready Harton

Is Eveready Harton (AKA “Buried Treasure”) the first porn animation? Nothing is sure except that it's from the US. Probably 1928 or 1929. Read more over here.

Sex - Talk About It Before They Do

How long are we using internet? Exactly. Now this is a recent commercial on dutch television. "Talk about sex with your kid before they do". On which planet did these people live? My daughter turned 16 last February. When she was a toddler I started to check internet, social media, MSN et cetera. To see what was going on there. Yeah ... I found out ... a lot of assholes over there. When she was bigger and allowed on the computer with me I never had a child lock / family filter on it. They only get more curious. Child locks / Family filter are for lazy parents. I explained everything to her. And to be honest, a porn website is easier to explain than why people are fighting in the Middle East. The first social media she was allowed to use when she was 10-11 years old was the dutch Hyves. Me and a couple of friends were on her friends list. She knew that I controlled it. Showed her the weirdo's, explained everything. When she was 13 she was allowed to have a Facebook account.

Sometimes when I tell her friends that they have to be careful with selfies, posts et cetera because nothing 'disappears' on the internet they look at me as if I tell them there's life on Mars. They don't know. I don't understand. And now, after all these years the government think of this commercial. Wow!

Virtual Photography

This is a very nice project. Photographer is 'with' the subjects, the photo's are screen shots, but it definitely is photography. Arko Datto's 'Virtual Photography'.

"Indian photographer Arko Datto is a digital explorer, a photographic sociologist, and a cowboy of the finest pampas: that of the wild, wild west of the world wide web. In his work Cybersex, Datto attempts to define and expand upon what he calls “virtual photography.” It is beyond the curatorial endeavors of the likes of “Google Street Views” and other collections of pre-existing images.

This genre of photography is not new as far as “found work” is concerned, but it is new in Datto’s case in the sense that he, along with the participation of this particular cybersex community, are creating the photographs in real time, the exception to old notions being that Datto’s subjects cannot see him when he is “taking” photographs of them. They are captured digitally via screen shot, though Datto is indeed “with” the subjects. We recently spoke with him about the project."
