Everything you know about sex is true.

Estranged Sex by Sandra Torralba.

A pornographic magazine for the blind has been launched - complete with explicit text and raised pictures of naked men and women.

The book, the brainchild of Lisa Murphy and called Tactile Minds, is designed to be 'enjoyed' by the blind and visually impaired - and is on sale for £150.

Between 1970 and 1985 Playboy printed copies of its famous magazine in braille - but without raised pictures.

Written and directed by Bruce LaBruce and starring porn actor François Sagat, LA Zombie is a "gay-porn zombie film" on view at the Peres Projects gallery in Berlin, along with a dozen new works on canvas.

There's something respectable about a porn movie that you watch inside a renowned art gallery.

I doubt LaBruce bothers much about making art lovers feel respectable. In fact, the artist doesn't seem too eager to drawing a line between art and porn. He told Salon: "All of my work has been about that line. You can situate yourself on either side of the line without really altering the work itself. I could take a picture for Honcho magazine, but can take the same image and put it in a frame in an art gallery, and it becomes art. For me that speaks to the arbitrary nature of those labels." A soft-core version of L.A. Zombie will tour film festivals this year. You can expect to find the hard-core DVD gracing the shelves of your favourite sex shop in the spring.

LA Zombie was shot in Los Angeles. Guerrilla-style. With almost no budget. The main protagonist rises from the sea, with as much clout and allure as Ursula Andress herself in that famous Bond scene. He's a zombie or maybe he's just a bit deranged and fancies himself as an undead creature. He sports canine teeth and is dressed like a homeless. Good looking young guys get killed or die in accidents. He finds them, gives them the fuck of life right into their wound, they open their eyes. They have become zombie too and lead the life of tramps around LA. People don't seem to even notice their presence.

Bruce Labruce LA Zombie: The Movie That Would Not Die runs at Peres Projects in Berlin until April 24, 2010.

They Shoot Porn Stars Don't They is Susannah Breslin's compelling text-and-photo essay about the adult movie industry and the recession.

Via notes from somewhere bizarre.

A research from from Guangdong Entomological Institute in China found that more than two-thirds of female short-nosed fruit bats performed fellatio on their sexual partners, and that they were rewarded with longer bouts of intercourse as a result. On average, a second of fellatio gained six seconds of intercourse. On average, mating lasted four minutes for fellators, twice the average of non-fellating females.

Previously, the only animals known to carry out oral sex – apart from humans – were bonobo chimpanzees.

Frans de Waal, a primatologist at Emory University in Atlanta and an expert on bonobo chimpanzees, said: "The finding of fellatio in bats is exciting news." He went on to say that animal oral sex may be more common than we realise, but researchers’ prudery has prevented this fact becoming known. He said: "Part of the reason fellatio is rarely mentioned is shyness about this issue."

An MPEG of the bats is available for the curious here.

Hurray for psychedelic tapestry and acrylic carpets!
