The g-spot has seen a lot of press in the past few weeks: after those Italian scientists used their fancy machines to locate it, it felt like was all anyone could talk about for a while. So it seems only fitting that this week marks the release of Tristan Taormino’s “Expert Guide to the G-Spot,” the latest title from Vivid-Ed. True to form, Tristan cuts through all the myths, misinformation, and mindless chatter about the g-spot and offers up some real, solid information … along with some super hot porn. Our favorite combination!

As with all her Vivid-Ed releases, Tristan begins this installment of “The Expert Guide to the G-Spot” with a brief lecture. With the help of Princess Donna and Sarah Blake, who provide a live action demo, Tristan educates the viewer (and an audience of porn stars) on the finer points of female anatomy and g-spot stimulation. Turns out you don’t need a fancy ultrasound machine to find a woman’s special area: fingers or toys will do the trick just fine. And (spoiler alert!) every woman has a g-spot, even if every woman’s g-spot isn’t equally sensitive.

Once Tristan’s imparted her wisdom, the action segues from the classroom to the bedroom. In three hot scenes, we’re shown the basics — and not-so-basics — of g-spot stimulation: using fingers, toys, and a variety of fancy positions, the cast of “The Expert Guide to the G-Spot” shows us exactly how it’s done, and, in the last scene, how “it” can lead to the wonder that is female ejaculation (a bonus girl-girl scene, illustrating the basics of strap-on sex, is also included on the disc). Tristan stays on as a voiceover, offering insight on the different tactics and techniques being demonstrated, with occasional assistance from some colorful, pop-up video style notes.

(Bonus tip: Want to enjoy the hot sex without the pressure of having to learn something? The scenes are also available without the voiceovers.)

Instructional porn is a notoriously tricky genre. Though it seems only logical to have porn stars – who are, after all, sex professionals – teaching us regular folk about sex, in practice, it can get a little complicated. Education (which requires a brain full of blood) is pitted against titillation (which… doesn’t), and it can be hard to find a balance between the two. Judging from her entries in the Vivid-Ed line so far, Tristan been quite successful with making porn that’s as smart as it is sexy. We can’t wait to see what she comes out with next—we’ll happily learn whatever she’s willing to teach us.

While we disagree with their assertion that it’s impossible to be good at both acting and sex (though it’s way too early in the week for us to try coming up with an example to refute it), we have to hand it to the folks at Uber for devoting their latest top ten video extravaganza to the Greatest Acting Performances In Porn History: not only did they manage to find (or sneak) a bunch of porn clips on YouTube, they also managed to narrow their selection down to only ten. Surely that deserves some sort of Special Achievement award in itself.

It had been a long time since we’d seen a movie in an actual theater that made us wish we had pause and rewind buttons on our armrests until we saw “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” a few months ago. Not so we could hear the jokes again—which were ok, but not that memorable—but because the film contained an impressive (if brief) bit of nudity … including full frontal penis, which is pretty much unheard of in a Hollywood film. (Yes, it’s in the title, but we didn’t think they would actually show it.) Now that the DVD is out, we finally had the chance to admire everything in detail … and no angry ushers have to get involved when we try the old “hole in the bottom of the popcorn bucket” trick.

The original Nubby G was my first love. With its curved neck and a nubby ring around the base, it was perfectly constructed to stimulate the g-spot as it tickled your clit (or anus, if you prefer). Oh, and it was cheap, too: an important concern for a broke young college student.

But then I learned about phthalates, and suddenly the Nubby G’s jelly rubber skin seemed far less inviting. Sure, I could always be safe and put a condom on it – but somehow, it just wasn’t the same. I abandoned the Nubby G and went in search of other toys, hoping that I’d find one that could compare – and wouldn’t raise my risk of a nasty disease.

A few weeks ago, my prayers were answered: Babeland announced their new line of toys, and I was pleased to see a new, thermoplastic rubber Nubby G listed among their offerings. But my excitement quickly turned to doubt: could this really be as good as the classic Nubby G? Would it live up to my memories? Would it make me come as hard and as frequently and as well?

In a word, yes. The Babeland Nubby G lives up to its promises: once I got my hands (and other parts) on it, I couldn’t put it down. The Nubby G’s magical abilities were every bit as stimulating as I remembered: my G was rubbed, my clit was nubbed, and my legs were quickly shaking in ecstasy.

I’m older, wiser, and a bit more experienced than I was when I discovered the original Nubby G, so its shortcomings are more apparent to me now: as a battery-powered toy, it doesn’t rock as hard (or as long) as some of the rechargeable toys I’ve become acquainted with – and yes, it is aggravating when the batteries die in the middle of a particularly hot jack off sesh. But given its many other charms (and bargain basement price!), I’m willing to overlook that. The Nubby G will always have a place in my heart … and one right by my ladyparts, too.

[We originally reported this toy as being made of silicone. It is actually made of thermoplastic rubber. Our apologies for the mistake.]

Are you ready for night vision footage of a bloated, sweaty, and high-as-a-kite Rick James getting super freaky in a recording studio shortly before his death in 2004? Or more accurately, are you ready to shake your head slowly with regret and silently curse the person who invented the handheld video camera? On the plus side, his sex tapes probably have a better soundtrack than most. (And aren’t you glad we got through this entire post without a single “I’m Rick James, bitch!” reference?)

Wow, is it penis festival time already? Of course, our fertility shrines always seem to stay up for months just like all our other holiday decorations, so it always tends to take us by surprise. (tokyotimes.org)

For reasons we don’t fully understand (but are not about to question), women in Copenhagen are now free to swim topless in public pools, just like the men do. The only downside is that the pools will now be so packed with oglers that there won’t be any room to swim. (dailymail.co.uk)

You know what you probably don’t have enough of in your life? A big-breasted German dominatrix who has a thing for hot wax. We know there aren’t many to go around, so sometimes you just have to share via the magic of online video. We do have to say that this particular dom is a little more, uh … forgiving than most, since she’s just as generous with the pleasure as she is with the pain and even lets her fellow off the “hook” once in awhile. We think it has something to do with “carrots” and “sticks” … and maybe a leather whip or two.

We’re sorry to have to tell you this, but a person who is famous only for appearing on a reality TV show once had her picture taken without clothes on. We would tell you more here, but we actually read the story and we’re still not sure who she is or why you should know her. (takeareport.com, via Gawker)

Most men and women who are regular users of hardcore pornography say that not only are they immune to the negative effects, they believe it’s actually good for them. (Funny enough–the more they use it the more they believe it.) All true! Why, just last week we lifted a Buick up over our heads! (psychologytoday.com)

Over the years, we’ve watched as New York’s Village Voice has hired (and fired) sex columnist after sex columnist (and no, we still haven’t forgiven them for axing Rachel Kramer Bussel), but it looks like they’re finally back on the right track—at least when it comes to picking sex writers. We just got word that friend of Fleshbot Audacia Ray is at the helm of the Voice’s new sex blog, Naked City. She’s only been blogging for one day, and she’s already covered Porno Jim, erotic artist Terence Healy, and a week’s worth of sexy events. We can’t wait to see what she does if the editors are smart enough to keep her around awhile!

A LA club is holding regular limbo and apple bobbing contests with a grand prize jackpot of free breast implants for the winners. Ok, so the people quoted in this story make us feel like they’re setting the human race back about 60 years, but hey … it’s a video of hot chicks doing limbo! (latimes.com)

It hasn’t been that long since we first took notice of the Vintage Girly Magazines blog, but we thought we’d check back in and see what kind of goodies they’ve unearthed since. Once again, they don’t disappoint, with cover-to-cover scans of some pretty amazing skin rags that we never knew existed before. It’s too bad none of these babies ever rose up to challenge the Playboy Empire, because you can never have too many good pictures of naked ladies and it would be much easier to get away with sneaking a magazine called “Salty” under your mattress. Just tell people it’s about pretzels or something and they’ll never be the wiser. (Gallery below.)

Meet your exciting new sex pillow, which is pretty much exactly the same as your boring old sex pillow except for the fact that it comes with its own satin storage bag. Somewhere, George Clooney is kicking himself for going with the Liberator. (therightposition.com)

A British court has just learned that the men who are accused of scheming to blow up airplanes over the Atlantic Ocean, were planning to distract airport security by planting porn magazines and condoms in their luggage. Of course, they were unsuccessful in their dastardly deeds, which definitively proves that porn can defeat terrorism! (Yes, that sounds right to us.)
