It’s official. Apple’s Steve Jobs has re-revealed the iPhone 4, first brought to us by Gizmodo. And now that the Definitive iPhone 4 Guide is available I can, as in the past, consider how Apple is slowly but surely changing sex, one megapixel and video chat system at a time. My thoughts?

Will the iPhone 4 FaceTime Kill Phone Sex?
Today at WWDC, Steve Jobs introduced FaceTime, which is basically a way for two people who each have an iPhone 4 to video chat with each other. FaceTime also has the power to dramatically change phone sex. Here’s how. Continue Reading →
How Airplanes Changed Love and Sex
Growing up, my father worked as an attorney for a computer technology company. Before that, he worked for other large tech-related corporations (first as an engineer) and he brought his love of technology home to his family. We were among the first of our friends to have a computer in our home and he was perpetually interested in new gadgets that came on the market, and what it was like to take them apart and put them back together – sometimes successfully, others not. I’m sure he would have loved to see the world as it is today, in all its megapixel-wifi-smartphone-tablet-iPad-BluRay-Netflix glory. Though I didn’t inherit his love of taking gadgets apart and putting them together again, I did inherit his interest in technology. Continue Reading →
The Internet Is For Porn (Someone Tell Steve Jobs)
In a recent late-night email exchange with Gawker’s Ryan Tate, Steve Jobs talked about a world that offered “freedom from porn” (as you may know, Apple has kept much adult-related content – and even some mainstream-but-sexy-content – out of their App store). And yet, if you’ve ever seen Avenue Q (I’ve seen it twice now), you may remember the song “The Internet is for Porn” (see video above). In addition to being for porn for many people, the Internet is for more fun, positive, no need to feel guilty kinds of sex things, too – or at least I think so. Continue Reading →
Love, Sex and Music: How Technology Has Changed the Way We Do It
Before I even had a romantic relationship of my own, I was acutely aware that there was a soundtrack for love, dating, flirtation and sex. Continue Reading →
Phone Sex: Orgasm and iPhone 3.0 Software Included
I have to admit. The inspiration for this post was not what you might expect: it was Gizmodo’s article about the iPhone 3.0 OS software which includes features I have long waited for such as copy and paste, turn-by-turn directions (like the Garmin), and – whoa there – the ability to tether your iPhone to your laptop to get internet access. This is totally going to change my airport experience. Thanks to Apple, when I think of orgasmic phone sex, I am now thinking of my iPhone. But perhaps you’re reading this because you want to learn about how people have sex over the phone, right? Continue Reading →
Text messages about sperm and sex
Note: this is a real text message exchange that I took a screen shot of on my phone. This is what life is often like when your career centers around sexuality – friends text you to ask about sperm. Continue Reading →
Our podcasts are among NPR’s “picks of the week”
Tonight I facilitated a discussion about masturbation among 50 or so smart, engaging, open and very funny college students. When I left the talk, I checked my email and learned that the Kinsey Confidential podcasts that I and my colleagues have been taping are now among NPR’s "Picks of the Week" – check them out here. I’m really happy about this – it’s exciting to think that so many people are learning about sexuality through our podcasts. You can check them out on MySexProfessor where I often link to them, directly on the Kinsey Confidential web site, on NPR or via iTunes. The podcasts are FREE (yay!). Continue Reading →
