Being the Luddites that we are, we’ve never even seen a Blu-Ray player, let alone actually used one. So we have no idea how, exactly, the high-def whojimawhatsits effects the experience of watching movie nudity. But Mr. Skin does. And in this week’s New Yorker (yes, The New Yorker), he’s

Even The New Yorker thinks the Fleshbot Awards were the talk of the town.

V Magazine continues to cradle the vertex where fashionability meets nudity. Though Natalia had previously appeared on their pages, this photo shoot is more… nipple-y. Really, V Magazine has been so good to us, we’d really love to thank them properly. How will we do that? We’re gonna ogle Natalia

We tend not to give too much thought to the future of sex (the present of sex is more than enough to keep us occupied). But we still have to wonder just what sex will be like in…the future. Will we still be boning when we’re all plugged in to

The print industry may be dying, but high end erotic mags are (apparently) still going strong. The Pipeline has an overview of some of the new (and not so new) additions to the genre. (pipeline.refinery29.com)

Depending on your perspective, Stormy Daniels’s recent troubles have either improved her campaign’s odds or completely torpedoed her political career. Either way, Blackbook’s already lined up a group of pornstar successors who might one day follow in Stormy’s footsteps. The list is a tad predictable, and leans heavily towards the

Topless sunbathing—once de rigueur on European beaches—has fallen on hard times. Last summer, we heard it was officially out of fashion, now some French beaches are even fining women who attend the beach sans top. Fine, upstanding news source that it is, London’s Sun has decided to wage a debate

From the channel that brought you “Dirty Money: The Business of High End Prostitution” comes “Porn: Business of Pleasure,” an apparently well-rounded look into the adult industry. It airs Wednesday at 9pm ET—you can bet we’ll be watching. Below, a preview clip from an interview with Sasha Grey. Looks good

Today’s NY Times Business section has an article on, of all things, porno plots—and, more specifically, their disappearance from modern porns. As the Times sees it, plots were big in the ’70s, resurged in the ’90s, and have completely fallen by the wayside in the modern era, as studios focus

The first issue—which arrives on a newswtand near you July 7, 2009—will

Gawker wants to know if you can tell the difference between pornstars and news anchors. As regular readers of Fleshbot, you have a slight advantage…but that can be our little secret. (gawker.com)

Sasha Grey‘s domination of the mainstream media continues: America’s Favorite Fuck Junkie is profiled in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (who’ve titled her “the dirtiest girl in the world.”) Alas, you’ll have to buy the magazine if you actually want to read the piece; though a gallery of exclusive

LA, New York, San Francisco… Karachi? The Pakistani city doesn’t immediately spring to mind as a hubbub or fetish activity—but two enterprising brothers are secretly running a fetishgear company (and raking in the cash). The New York Times has a fascinating profile on AQTH, its owners, and its employees—and what

Time Out New York peels back the curtain and takes a look at the mysterious world of art models, interviewing two New York women who make a living undressed. As an added bonus, the piece includes a photo gallery of each model holding a few poses, both while clothed and

As April showers roll into May flowers, it’s once again time for Allure’s annual “Naked Celebrity” “Look Better Naked” issue. Stripping down this year? Padma Lakshmi, Eliza Dushku, Chelsea Handler, Sharon Leal, and Lynn Collins. As with every year, the shots are more tease than T&A—but we’d still like to

After twenty-five years, New Zealand weekly NZ Truth is saying goodbye to its Page 3 Girls. But don’t cry too hard: topless girls will now be featured as centerfolds in the paper’s magazine. (stuff.co.nz)

We’ve all been there: you’re surfing the pornotubes, looking for some sweet amateur action, only to find a clip… featuring your best friend/next door neighbor/attorney. What’s an ethical porn watcher to do? Well, lucky for all of us pervs, Randy Cohen—aka the man behind the New York Times Magazine’s “Ethicist”

Months ago, we asked Daisy Lowe to show us her daisies… and what do you know? She finally did! The latest issue of i-D features Daisy sans top—and with no pesky arm covering her goodies. If we’d known that wishing worked out this well, well, we would have started wishing
