By Phil Villarreal on October 5, 2010 9:15 AM

By Ben Popken on September 22, 2010 1:00 PM  
On the (high) heels of a sex-discrimination lawsuit filed last week by three female current and former Goldman Sachs employees, The Daily Beast takes a look at the investment firm's official and unofficial internal policies on dating and sex. Basically, a far worse crime than a boss groping a subordinate is a subordinate not reporting it. No news yet though on what their internal policies are on screwing America in the workplace. More »

Man Arrested For Spilling His Midichlorians On Star Wars Toy In Florida Walmart
By Chris Walters on September 21, 2010 9:30 AM

A man allegedly took a copy of the February Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue over to the toy aisle, then masturbated to it in front of the Star Wars toys. When he was done, according to a Walmart employee who witnessed the incident, he wiped his hand on a nearby toy; a police source who spoke with TSG says it was a Star Wars lightsaber. More »

Couple Says Real Estate Agent Used Their Home For Sex
By Chris Walters on August 23, 2010 9:00 AM  
Earlier this month, a couple in Minnesota filed a lawsuit against a local Coldwell Banker franchise and a real estate agent the company employed, alleging that the agent used the home for sexcapades while they were out of town, ruining their furniture, bedding and carpet. Neighbors say he showed up one day with an unidentified man and said they were going to be preparing the home for an open house, but no open house was held. Or at least not one the neighbors could see; maybe he uses that phrase in a different way. More »

This Condom Warning Label Arouses Confusion
By Chris Walters on August 23, 2010 8:00 AM  
A reader bought this box of condoms from her local Safeway, and she says this sticker was underneath the outer packaging. People be freaky, but is there anyone who would want a raw chicken condom that you have to keep frozen until use? (Meh, probably.) More »

America's First Legal Male Prostitute Quits After Three Months
By Chris Walters on March 29, 2010 6:20 PM  
Markus, the first legal male prostitute in the U.S., hung his shingle at the Shady Lady Ranch in Nevada in January. Since then he's had "fewer than 10 paying customers" according to the Associated Press (which seems to imply there were some free samples maybe?), so he's quitting and going back into porn. In other words, there's a new opening at Shady Lady, gentlemen. Wait, that totally didn't sound right. More »

When This Sex App's A Rockin' Don't Come A Knockin'
By Phil Villarreal on March 18, 2010 8:45 AM  
The Bedometer iPhone App tracks the amount of calories you burn during sex, according to The Sun. You just place it on the bed when things start to get freaky, try not to get so wild that the iPhone falls off or gets submerged in fluids and then check the device to see whether or not you burned off that bagel.

JetBlue 800 Number Leads To Sex Line
By Ben Popken on March 17, 2010 1:25 PM  
An unfortunate typo on JetBlue's website could lead some customers to "happy ending" instead of "happy jetting." They spell out 1-800-JETBLUE as 538-2563, when it should be 538-2583. The former connects you a breathless recording that starts, More »

Colorado Springs Billboard Company Says "No Puppet Boobs Allowed"
By Chris Walters on February 25, 2010 4:30 PM  
Lucy the Slut is one of the puppets in the musical "Avenue Q," and like the other puppet characters she's frequently displayed in their advertising. But not in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where a billboard company refused to put up ads showing Lucy's cleavage. An exec for the billboard company told the local paper, "If I have to explain it to my 4-year-old or my grandmother, we don't put it up." Hey four-year-old, it's a puppet. Hey grandma, those are boobs. Problem solved. More »

Spirit Airlines Releases Another Naughty Sounding Promo
By Chris Walters on February 2, 2010 6:34 PM  
Last year Spirit Airlines had something called a M.I.L.F. Sale. They played it off as an accident, but I don't think anyone believed them. Now they're at it again, this time with an otherwise generic online ad that "accidentally" puts the word "muff" next to the word "diving." Hmm, maybe that customer service number that really directed callers to a phone sex line wasn't an accident, either. I bet if you fly Spirit Airlines and ask the flight attendants for some salted nuts, they burst into shameful giggles and run off. More »

By Chris Walters on January 22, 2010 2:01 PM  
A man in New Hampshire called the police earlier this week to report a theft of services complaint. Unfortunately for him, the services happened to be sexual, which meant he was also basically turning himself in for soliciting prostitution. Both he and the alleged prostitute were arrested. More »

Sex In A Commercial Is The Equivalent Of A Gambler's Tell
By Chris Walters on December 28, 2009 12:17 PM  
Over at Ditchwalk today, Mark Barrett points out that sex in mainstream advertising is a tell. There are two things it immediately communicates: that the product is "indistinguishable from its competition," and that it is generic. You don't have to stop appreciating libido-stirring images the next time a sexy ad airs (not that you probably could, anyway). But if you keep Barrett's advice in mind, you may start noticing that some companies are telling you more about their product than they probably mean to. More »
