California Democrats are taking heat for "water[ing] down" a "child sex trafficking bill." But—as anyone whose brain isn't completely broken by politics might imagine—this isn't a case of lawmakers trying to make life easy for people who abuse and exploit children. They're just trying to insert a smidge of sanity into the bill's punishment schemes. The scorn with which this has been met underscores how hard it is for legislators to push back against policies that are purportedly about protecting children. The Bill The measure in question—Senate Bill 1414—was introduced in April by state Sens. ...

Two laws requiring age verification online have been paused by federal courts. The laws in Indiana and Mississippi are now on hold as legal challenges to them play out. The Indiana law (Senate Bill 17) says visitors to websites that display pornography or other "adult oriented" content that is "harmful to minors" must submit a copy of their driver's license or otherwise verify that they're at least 18 years old. The Mississippi law (House Bill 1126, also known as the Walker Montgomery Protecting Children Online Act) says social media platforms must verify people's ages before letting them crea...

A new study has found that people who said they listened to music during sex were generally more satisfied with their sex lives and had sex more often than those who didn’t. ZipHealth, an online doctor and prescription service, compiled data by surveying more than 1,000 people on both their sex lives and their music streaming choices. 47 per cent of respondents said they regularly listen to music during sex, and 68 per cent of people who listen to music during sex say it helps reduce sexual performance anxiety. 63 per cent say it significantly increases the duration of sex. With performance in...

America isn't alone in its moral panic over sex trafficking, as an Argentinian case against a self-help center called the Buenos Aires Yoga School (BAYS) suggests. Prosecutors are trying the school's 85-year-old founder, Juan Percowicz, and a number of its members, alleging that the school was really a cult engaged in brainwashing and sex trafficking. Authorities raided the group's headquarters and the houses of 50 members two summers ago, accusing the group of being a front for an international sex slavery ring. Seventeen people, including Percowicz, were arrested and jailed on suspicion of h...

It can be said that sex is a deeply political act. Who we have sex with and how are both political questions. But can politics itself be sexy? Well, as the UK general election draws near, advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi have designed a new wonderfully promiscuous campaign to get young people to the polling booths and register by 18 June. Their bold proposition? Voting makes you sexier. Backed by new research commissioned just for the campaign, it turns out that 40% of 18-24 year-olds perceive regular voters as more attractive. Moreover, over half of the respondents associate voting with g...

Last January, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg summed up his case against Donald Trump this way: "We allege falsification of business records to the end of keeping information away from the electorate. It's an election interference case." That gloss made no sense, because the records at the center of the case—11 invoices, 11 checks, and 12 ledger entries that allegedly were aimed at disguising a hush-money reimbursement as payment for legal services—were produced after the 2016 presidential election. At that point, Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, had already paid porn star Stormy Daniels...

What does decriminalized sex work look like in practice? People in Australia (specifically New South Wales) and New Zealand know the answer, because they decriminalized sex work decades ago. I recently spent six weeks touring my one-woman show, Whore's Eye View, in Australia and New Zealand, where I met sex workers, clients, and brothel owners who negotiate sexual services openly without fear of arrest. After my shows, people from the sex industry—both workers and clients—stayed to tell me their stories. I spoke with people who did sex work to start their own businesses, pursue a passion proje...

Hätte sich ein Drehbuchautor die Geschichte von Andreas Weidhaas ausgedacht, wäre sie vielleicht als zu klischeehaft abgelehnt worden. Es geht um die Wendezeit, Sex, das große Geld und den Niedergang. Natürlich alles mit stilechten Ost-Requisiten. Es geht aber auch um die Gegenwart, und die Frage: Was erzählen Sexshops auf dem Land, wie ihn Weidhaas noch heute betreibt, eigentlich über den Wandel in den ostdeutschen Bundesländern? Und sind wir heute verklemmter als damals? Wer eine Antwort auf diese Fragen sucht, wird im kleinen Örtchen Oettersdorf im Südosten Thüringens und unweit der Grenze ...
