In this week’s sex in the news I look at reports that the Playboy Mansion is up for sale, VR porn, our man with the bionic penis’s return to the news and much more.
Let’s start with the week’s biggest sex story. The Playboy Mansion – the scene of so many sexual shenanigans involving celebrities, playboy bunnies and the now 89 year old Hugh Hefner – is now up for sale for $200 million. Apparently it’s a bit of a dump inside and needs extensive renovation but it sits on large amount of fabulously expensive land developers say could return a buyers money four times over. Yet there’s a catch. Aging Hefner comes with the property. You literally have to wait for him to die before you won it. What’s more, Hefners wide Crystal Harris also comes with the property. It’s not clear what her role will be once Hefner departs!
VR porn at the CES
Journalist Will Fulton finally got round to trying what I tried nearly a year ago, virtual reality (VR) porn. Fulton says he tried it in a hotel suite. I’m not sure why he needed that much secrecy, no one can see what you’re watching Will – unless you were giving it a thorough road testing, lit candles and whipped out the lube?
Time for fashionista’s to remove their ad-blockers?
Edgy Italian fashion brand, Diesel have announced they will begin advertising on porn sites. Creative director, Nicola Formichetti said “I kept thinking, what is the most viewed website in the whole world?” And I was like: ‘Porn sites!’”
As a pornsite owner I think Formichetti might still be living in the 90s. Porn is popular but I’m pretty sure Facebook, Twitter and most media and shopping sites are way bigger than porn now. There’s a reason there are no porn billionaires Nicola. Maybe things are different in Italy as during the time I spent there they were still sending faxes?
I nominate hard-to-believe-that’s-real-and-not-special-effects huge pornstar, Shane Diesel, as brand ambassador. You heard it here first folks!
Bionic Penis Man will finally lose his virginity
According to the UK’s The Sun newspaper, Mohammed Abad, from Edinburgh will finally lose his virginity. Although this is in the humour section of my site it’s actually a heart warming story. It’s amazing that he has been fitted with a bionic penis after losing it in an accident when he was young.
The lucky lady will be Charlotte Rose, a dominatrix and sexual freedom campaigner famous for being friends with hysterical British MP Lembit Opit of cheeky girl fame.
Mohammed told The Sun “I have waited long enough for this – it’ll be a great start to the new year. My penis is working perfectly now so I just want to do it. I’m really excited. I can’t wait for it to finally happen.
The pair will meet for a dinner date in London this week to “get to know each other”. I wish Mohammed all the luck in the world. I think he’s in good hands.
Other notable mentions
I love how much space even the most serious newspapers and magazines give to stories when there’s the slightest whiff of sex or porn about it. Here are more of the most covered sex stories from the news this week.
