‘Free’ Porn – at a Price
ElectricNews.net has warned that web users offered free pornographic material are being targeted by a blackmailing spyware application. The application, DigiKeyGen, promises free access to subscription adult sites with a free password generator. Instead, users actually download spyware and an application claiming to be anti-spyware software. DigiKeyGen then warns the unfortunate user that his or her computer has been infected and offers an anti-spyware programme for USD49.95. This scam is fraud and any one who has been targeted by this malicious software is advised to contact the Gardai.
Feminist Porn Awards in Canada
This June, Toronto became the first city to host a feminist porn awards. According to organiser Chanelle Gallant, the awards want to celebrate filmmakers whose work is sex-positive and make women feel great about sex and their bodies. The awards fall into three categories: films that depict “genuine female pleasure”, films produced or directed by women, and films that “expand the range of pleasure for women”.
Internet Red Light District Appeal
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has rejected the proposal to create a .xxx domain for pornographic sites but the domain’s chief sponsor ICM Registry is to appeal the decision. Although ICANN gave a preliminary approval for the creation of the domain, pressure from conservative groups and even some web porn sites meant the body decided against the domain.
Web
Now here is some genuinely free porn. Only Movies is a site for those looking for free porn movies. Self-confessed porn-o-holics Michael and Eve set up the site because they got tired of the getting the run-around when searching for free adult content on the web. The site is updated on a daily basis and there is a huge archive to choose from too. See www.onlymovies.com.
Sexton’s Miscellany
Sexual Horoscopes
Is your sex life is written in the stars? My sister is a great believer in all things astrological, but I’m more cynical. However, in the spirit of open-mindedness I decided to see if the stars could offer any guidance for my sex life. Some Internet sites offer daily or weekly predictions regarding your sex life, while others will describe who you are sexually.
ere is what Sexual Astrology had to say about my sex life next week:
You now are sure of your feelings and need to revitalize them by sharing them openly with your mate. There is a better understanding between you and your loved one, since you experience that through your love relationship your own personal limits are transcended.

All sounds lovely, but not exactly very juicy. Here’s what Nerve’s sexual horoscope has in store for me:
Periods of intense desire followed by extreme malaise will make you seem a lot like Henry VIII this week: hot for someone one minute, lopping their heads off the next.

Oh dear… I thought I might have better luck with sites that describe what I am supposed to be like between the sheets. Astrology.com reckons:
Your sexuality is powerful and always thrumming just below the surface. Your insecurities can hold you back…. You are open to sexual experiment, but as a rule, prefer not to take the initiative until you are sure of your ground.
[You] can appear frigid or disinterested…. Oral stimulation may just be the trigger to wake your sleeping beauty! Once awoken, she is hard to shut down again.
See www.astrology.com
I got a totally different perspective from Master’s Gift:
You don’t need much foreplay – you go from zero to WOW in nothing flat! Not interested in exotic variation, only in staying power. Since you like to dominate, you like to be astride your man, set a rhythm and please yourself. Once into the rhythm, lovemaking becomes a wild contest with orgasm as the prize and you can depend on getting there more than once. Also a scratcher and a screamer.

So I appear frigid, but give me oral sex and I will ride you like a pony, screaming all the way to multiple orgasms. Hmmm… There may be something in the stars after all.
This Issue's Top Sex Tip: Target Practice
One of the most common sexual complaints is that our partners don’t give us enough of the kind of stimulation we want. For example, it seems that the majority of women don’t get enough breast stimulation during sex – which is odd, when you consider how much men love boobs. So, here’s a novel way to get more of exactly the kind of stimulation you want.
Using edible paints, chocolate paste, syrup, cream or even alcohol, mark a target spot on the part of your body that you want your partner to stimulate. He or she then has to remove the mark with the tongue as instrument (of your pleasure). You can, of course, mark a number of different spots!
Take turns doing this. If you want more of the same stimulus, mark the spot time and time again – this should be a good indication to the person you are with that this is an important erogenous zone for you.
One word of warning: Don’t use anything that you will have too much difficulty removing completely. Needless to say – but then again we might as well be careful! – sticky substances left inside the vagina can cause infections.
