Live Nude Geeks! How Geek Porn Went Mainstream

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:15:07 EDT

Our nerdy sibling site Kotaku has looked up from their XBox DSs or their Nintendo 360s or whatever it is that occupies most of their time and discovered that there's porn in them thar internets—and not just any porn, but geek-focused porn even! (Specifically, a babelog site called Gamer Fetish.) While they've gone all thinky about the topic, discussing the ways in which geek culture and porn culture overlap and crediting geek-themed porn with the future destigmatization of sexy pictures, we (with our extensive experience on the topic), would like to offer a slightly less highfalutin opinion on the "new" phenomenon of geek porn.

Geek porn came about in much in the same way that the pierced and tattooed girls of altporn did—in fact, back in the olden days (or at least the late '90s/early '00s), geek porn and good old fashioned altporn were pretty much both subsets of the same general amateur genre. Over time, though, both got co-opted by The Man: altporn became the province of such companies as VividAlt, and sexy geeks got such polished productions as ~~"Whores of Warcraft"~~ ~~"Whorecraft"~~ "Whorelore". If anything, the current incarnation of geek porn isn't so much a sign that geeks are making sex safe for work, or at least for dinner table conversation: it's more that Big Porn has recognized geekery as a mainstream (or mainstream enough) enough culture to eroticize, monetize, and cash in on.

But you don't really want a lecture on all that—you want pictures of naked geeky girls! Good thing we can provide that too.

If Twitter's not doing enough to keep track of your sex life, consider switching to Bedposted. Currently in beta, the site promises to help you keep track of how often you get busy, and eventually give you some insight into your sex life. The only catch? You have to sign into Bedposted after every time you have sex. If you haven't fallen asleep first, that is. (bedposted.com, thumb via Gizmodo)

Flesh Flicks: Revenge Of The Nerd

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:00:00 EDT

Nerds! They never know how to say the right thing around women. Take this guy in the glasses—the specs clearly indicate that he is "complete nurd," of course—who simply tries to say something instructive (i.e., nerdy) to this young woman, but of course he says it in the wrong language and offends her. Her only recourse is to fuck his brains out, because nerds are afraid of sex, so that's really the only way to teach them a lesson. It's true! The next time a nerd says something awkward to your face, give him (or her) some head and you'll find they change their tune pretty darn quick.

"A Series Of Controversial Dildonics": Think Globally, Fap Locally

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:45:48 EDT

San Francisco's annual Arse Elektronika events sees the sexiest of the geeky (or the geekiest of the sexy) trying to outnerd each other with fabulous sexual inventions that are impractical, implausible, and exactly what you want for Christmas. It's also a great way for tinkerers of this sort to experiment with new and wacky ideas. Like, say, a vibrator that's hooked up to the U.S. Geological Survey and only buzzes when there's an earthquake somewhere in the world: you just plug it in, turn it on, and ... wait for a completely unpredictable natural disaster! Only trouble is that when your own "Big One" finally arrives, it's tempered by the realization that a building might have collapsed somewhere with people trapped inside. Talk about a buzzkill.

If that's not depressing enough, try the dildo that puts you on a self-imposed sex strike based on the measurements of certain political and social facts. For example, if you set a "tolerance limit" of two Iraqi civilian deaths a day, then on any day where civilian deaths in Iraq exceed that number, the vibrator is locked out and you can't use it. No one dies and you're free to jack it! Awesome! Also creepy!

Obviously, these inventions are more Statements than useful masturbatory devices—it's probably better to imagine how a 8.5 quake would rock your hoo-hah instead of waiting for one. But the attempt to tie your daily orgasms to events affecting other people on Earth is a fascinating concept.

Both of these projects are being developed by a group called Cho-Yaba to compete for the "Golden Kleene" award at the next Arse Elektronika this fall. We're very interested in seeing the final results, even if given what we've seen so far their third as-yet-unveiled project—something called the "Perpetual Erection Machine"—is almost too spooky to contemplate. Even for us.

Justine Joli: From Girl On Girl To Girl On Game

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:25:29 EDT

When she's not busy looking hotter in a t-shirt than any gal has a right to, World's Hottest Geek Justine Joli has also been upping her nerdy cred with a new writing gig reviewing video games for Complex's DasGamer. Knowing her qualifications as intimately as we do, we think Justine is an excellent choice for the job: she's smart, knows her way around a gaming console, and will have no trouble at all getting her fellow geeks to pay attention to her. After the jump, check out the DasGamer video introducing Justine to their audience ... and giving us all a peek behind the scenes at a recent photo shoot.

Hide Your Porn DVDs In Mysterious Magic Box

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 30 May 2008 10:03:39 EDT

Porn collectors who want to build a library of filthy, filthy smut inevitably run into two problems—a lack of space and a lack of shame. Because you've spent all your money on DVDs, you probably don't have a house big enough to hold them all, and even though your friends and loved ones are cool with your obsession, maybe you would still prefer that they not know that you own the entire "Rim My Gape" series. Once again, technology saves the day! The Disc Manager 100 holds 100 DVDs in a small white box that is compact, stylish and—most important of all—does not have the word "Cum" or "Whores" written anywhere on it.

It's also digitally connected, can call up and eject your favorite discs at the push of a button, and can even password protect the discs you don't want prying eyes to see. (What it doesn't do, sadly, it play any of these DVDs on your TV. Nobody's perfect.) If you find that you need this level of space-saving security, then this gadget could be the answer. Also: bless your dirty little heart

Scribd is apparently some sort of Web 2.0 (note the missing vowel) document sharing website that has built up quite a following despite the fact that we've never heard of it. How did they do it? Porn, of course! So naturally, now that the site is popular (and investors are likely getting nervous) they've decided to ban adult content. (That would be upsetting if it wasn't so typical.) Hey, porn bloggers probably need whatever service it is that they provide too! (centernetworks.com + techcrunch.com)

Teledildonics And You: How One Company Could Control The Future Of Sex

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 16 May 2008 14:10:50 EDT

Have you had a orgasm recently? Good for you! Were you helped along with some technical assistance, specifically from a little buzzing friend? Then you probably owe someone money. You see, there's a big little company called Immersion and while we're not sure exactly what they make or build, they do hold pretty much every patent imaginable in the field of haptics or "force feedback" technology (i.e., things that vibrate when you play with them.) That market mostly consists of shaky videogame controllers and teledildonics devices. For example, Immersion has filed and won a lawsuit against Sony that would prevent them from selling their Playstation controllers in the U.S.; it's currently under appeal. Of course, even a company like Immersion doesn't want to get down and dirty with people who make sex toys, so they've licensed their patents that might apply to sexual devices to the mysteriously named Internet Services, LLC—and then let those guys sue sex companies that violate them. If you thought that was confusing, pay attention, because it get weirder ...

After Immersion won its lawsuit against Sony, Internet Services sued them, looking for a cut of the $90 million verdict. But now, halfway through the trial, the lawyer for Internet Services wants off the case and filed a motion to remove himself. So they are now suing him too, in order to force him to stay.

What does all of this have to do with orgasms? Well for starters, if you want to build and sell any sort of vibrating cybersex device, this one company can and probably will sue you for patent infringement unless you license their technology first. (Even a patent lawyer who makes his living doing this stuff doesn't want to work for them anymore, though he won't say why.) If you care about where your next buzz comes from—and who might stand to profit from it—these links might be worth a read.

Nudar: GPS For Boobies

We've all been there before—driving down a lonely highway in the middle of night, not really sure where you are or if you have enough gas to make it to the next station, when suddenly a beacon rises above the horizon signaling the oasis you've been searching for: "Strip Club. Next Exit." But in this interconnected, wi-fi, super-surveyed world, why go through all that stress? Nudar wants to take the pain away by mapping the world ... the strip club world. They want to build a database of any place on Earth where you can find bare boobs—wet t-shirt bars, nude beaches, New Orleans—and then send that data to you anywhere in the world via your GPS device. It's like the tits come to you! Plus, this way when you run out of singles and end up face down in the parking lot, your loved ones will know where to come pick you up.

AVN Tips & Tricks: CES Badges Not Valid At Porn Convention

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:10:22 EST

It's not a total coincidence that the Consumer Electronics Show (the Super Bowl of geek world) and the Adult Entertainment Expo are both held just yards apart in the same expo center in the same city on the very same week in January; AEE was spun off from CES several years ago. So what's a bored computer salesman on a junket to do with his lunch break? Why not head over to the porn convention right next door? Except ... not so fast, bub. Security is tighter than you might think ... and as you can see here, an ugly fate befalls all who attempt to cross the great divide.

Electric Bondageland: Building The Better BDSM Gear

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 12:31:55 EDT

One of our favorite things about this job is seeing the incredible ingenuity that people will employ in the neverending struggle to get themselves off. It's seems like a pretty straightforward task, but that has never stopped nerds, geeks, tinkerers, crafters, and OCD sufferers from adding as many bells and whistles to the process as they can—usually after designing and building the bells and whistles themselves.

So you can understand why our jaws dropped in amazement at this "Controlled Sensations" computer operated bondage station. Not content to merely build a sturdy table for BDSM play and then rig it up with half a dozen or so vibrating and electro-stim devices, the whole thing is also wired up to a laptop computer that can control the entire buzzing and shocking experience, even running preprogrammed erotic scenarios. It's billed as the perfect gift for the "lazy top" who loves to mess with their willing slave, but doesn't have the energy to do much more than push a few buttons. We can't even imagine the effort that went into designing and constructing this funhouse contraption (even the highly-detailed online instructions are exhausting) but we tip our hat to the evil mastermind who was clever enough to pull it off. We think this is one household gadget where you definitely should read manual.

The delicously geeky web model Kelly at Kelly's Arcade, however, did us one better: not only did she rip the packaging off her new Leopard box, she ripped her clothes off as well and put together the sexiest set of unboxing photos we've seen over the last three days (maybe ever).

Stumble Porn: Fall Into Smut

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 13:59:20 EDT

Some of you ~~nerds~~ tech-savvy individuals may be familiar with the StumbleUpon toolbar that you install in your web browser to help you find cooking recipes or vlogs or whatever it is the kids are into these days. It works on the theory of the wisdom of crowds, as everyone using the toolbar combines internet forces to direct each other to the best, most interesting links. However, like every other Web 2.0 sensation looking for VC funding, it frowns upon pornography and so (like every other web sensation) someone co-opted the idea to create a porn-centric equivalent. (It's the circle of life!)

User-generated content needs, you know ... users, so at this point, StumblePorn may be better in theory than practice, but if it works so well for every other part of the web, why not the filthy part? Of course, why do you need anyone to tell you where to look for online smut when you have us? Did we ever steer you wrong? Ok, that one time ... but we were full of cough syrup and we forgot the safe word.

If you were married to a Star Wars fan, and maybe at some point the two of you acquired a pair of matching stormtrooper helmets, which of your favorite "scenes" would you choose to act out? The blaster fight in the halls of the Death Star? Or maybe a naughty game of "These aren't the droids we're looking for?" How about the scene where the one cloned soldier frolics down by the lake in her bikini? (Check the DVD extras. It's there.) Red and Jonny are one particular fun-loving couple that chose to do exactly that with their toys and were nice enough to share their personal deleted scenes on Flickr. They like to wear their helmets a lot of other places too (like the galactic grocery store), but obviously we prefer to remember the sexier moments of the saga. Best of all ... no Jar-Jar.

As co-host of G4's "Attack of the Show!" she comes into their homes to tease them with informed talk of video games, sci-fi movies, and comic books and just generally frustrates them with her nerdy hotness. The upside (or maybe downside for her) is that any time she does anything remotely sexy—like say, dress up as Wonder Woman or Princess Leia—fanboys everywhere go into spasm of joy and start flooding teh internets (and our inbox) with tributes. Not that we're complaining about having to watch slow motion remixes of Miss Olivia swallowing an airborne hot dog slathered in mustard.

Sony's Backdoor Blu-Ray Action

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 17:46:52 EDT

Just when we think this whole Blu-Ray/HD DVD format war has sorted itself out, with one technology finally winning out over the other, a new development emerges to swing the pendulum back the other way. First, it was Digital Playground charging into the breach with their decision to publish titles in HD DVD (with other American companies following suit) and the reluctance of Blu-Ray proprietor Sony to allow its own disc replicators to wallow in adult filth. Now comes word out of Japan that Sony has loosed its belt a bit and is now providing equipment and support to a Taiwanese outfit that will allow Japanese porn companies to finally create new Blu-Ray discs and bring them back to the islands.

Since we've heard more times than we care to think about that porn drives our new technological age, this new Sony surge may bring the debate back to life. If the leading tech nation's leading studios start churning out Blu-Ray'd J-porn by the truckloads, will American studios be forced to follow suit? Will the battle re-ignite in time to save Sony's struggling format? Will we ever throw away our cherished VHS copy of "Emmanuelle in Bangkok"? We ~~eagerly~~ await the answers.

Our news alerts are abuzz lately (pun sorta intended) with stories about the gPod musical vibrator, which is odd because we thought we'd heard all there was to say about it last fall. It wasn't exactly a new idea then either—hook a vibrator up to a music device and let your privates dance to the beat—but we guess that didn't stop the gadget from making a splash at Japan's first Adult Treasure Expo last week. (Plus, there's the delightful Engrish translation of the gPod website to enjoy.) Now, no one combines sex and technology quite like the Japanese, so hopefully we'll see some truly innovative products emerge from this Far East answer to the naughty trade show soon. After all, those sexbots we were promised all those years ago should be online by now, right?
