In recent years, the feminist slogan t-shirt has been more popular than it has in decades and is also a perfect symbol of the defanging number that capitalist girl-power has done on the idea of feminism (again). It has caused me, personally, disproportionate distress over commodification and intent and philosophy and…
The next Bachelor is a big blonde baby named Colton Underwood who’s also a largely unremarkable 26-year-old virgin and former football player. His v-card status is already driving his upcoming season’s storyline, as it has been known to do in past Bachelor seasons, with a slight distinction: he’s not waiting for…
Over the weekend, Lily Allen announced in an Instagram post, “I slept with female escorts when I was on tour, cause I was lost and lonely and looking for something.” She continued, “I’m not proud, but I’m not ashamed. I don’t do it anymore.” The singer explained that someone had leaked portions of her upcoming…
Kristen Stewart is deeply over Hollywood’s reticent depictions of female sexuality and taking matters into her own hands, so to speak.
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Times reported that HBO has removed all “late night” programming from its channels and streaming services. That means no more softcore flicks with Strong Sexual Content ratings, no more nudity-filled reality shows like Cathouse, and, most crucially, no more archived episodes of the…
When I think back on my most formative moments there is the shower threesome on The Real World: Miami; the wet t-shirt contests of MTV spring break programming; and there’s typing “a/s/l” into mid- to late-’90s AOL chatrooms and making bumbling attempts at cybersex. But none of these moments even begin to approach the…
I’m not sure you’re aware but it’s a slow, sultry Thursday in August and Scott Eastwood fucks.
Four porn performers have filed a formal complaint against top industry agent Derek Hay alleging sexual abuse, fraud, and financial mismanagement. The complaint, filed with California’s Labor Commissioner and provided to Jezebel by the petitioners’ lawyer, also alleges that Hay, owner of LA Direct Models, is connected…
This week, The Guardian reminds us that lesbians are having better sex than straight women. Just in case you’d missed the previous media memos, which have been issued countless times over the last several years—often enough by men and with a degree of giddy emasculation, naked-lady stock art, and mysticizing of…
When people talk about porn and objectification, it’s often to argue that the industry reduces women to their bodies. Stoya, a porn performer and writer, could certainly tell you stories about strangers at public appearances who, as she writes, “refer to my orifices as ‘that’ instead of ‘your’”—stories that fit the…
For the 20th anniversary of Sex and the City—which premiered on HBO on June 6, 1998 and went on to become iconic prestige television—Jezebel is doing a week of posts dedicated to our favorite band of sexual women friends.
The Phillie Phanatic, the Philadelphia Phillies’ (baseball) mascot, is six feet, six inches and 300 pounds of “mostly fat,” covered in green fur. According to his official biography, he has “clumsy feet, extra long beak, extra-long curled up tongue, gawking neck, and ‘slight’ case of body odor.” On Thursday, Jezebel…
First things first: Take some block letters—dig around in your child’s toy box, if necessary—and spell out your intentions: P-O-R-N-V-I-D-E-O-S. Place this special creation in front of your laptop like an incantation. Wait. Sip your coffee. Glance at your sticky note. Feel a wave of relief knowing that you’re about to…
Erika Lust thinks porn is a lot like the restaurant industry. “McDonald’s is doing food and this restaurant is doing food”—she gestures around her—“but they’re completely different concepts.”
DJ Khaled proved today that he is, in fact, da worst, by being an adult man who adamantly brags that he does not go down on Nicole Tuck, his partner of many years. While this is dumb and pathetic of a man-baby stance to have, particularly towards the mother of your demonstrably beloved tiny son, I’m gonna go out on a…
A national poll on “healthy aging” conducted by the University of Michigan indicates that one way older people are keeping healthy is by freaking.
“Accelerate,” the first single off Christina Aguilera’s so-called comeback album Liberation, is your soundtrack for this weird time of the year when it’s hot but not yet Memorial Day and every person you encounter is thirst-ridden and dying to make out.
If you’re looking for signs that the promised dystopian future is quickly becoming the dystopian now, one iceberg-sized clue is that the sex partners of tomorrow will be lifelike sex robots, designed to spice up your withering marriage or simply just to help you get off. And while there are pressing issues surrounding …
