Erotic and Adult feature stories

The SexHerald.com features column has two primary undertakings: to keep our readers updated about current information and events within the world of sexuality and/or the adult industry, and to offer factual and educational information about a wide variety of sexual practices and lifestyles.

Many people consider certain lifestyles to be ‘alternative,’ or outside the mainstream. When it comes to sexuality, SexHerald.com maintains an unbiased and supportive outlook, unless faced with a threat to all of our inherent rights to sexual freedoms.

We examine social phenomena such as why women are assumed to dislike pornography, or why the HIV rate is so low in swinger communities. Adult industry organizations such as Adult Industry Medical (AIM), or Adult Sites Against Child Pornography (ASACP) are highlighted in our features column to give you a glance into the adult entertainment industry.

Through feature articles, we aim to supply information that is educational and enlightening, entertaining and accurate. Our diverse coverage allows readers to identify with and relate to a variety of factors that could foster sexual growth and expression. Although what is normal for some people could be unusual for others, and vice versa, we attempt to take that into consideration, and hopefully, to promote the belief that safe practices among consenting adults cannot go wrong.

When it comes to the laws of attraction, Janie Fredell has all the answers the young women of Harvard University are looking for. “Some women get weekly artificial tans and pedicures, revealed faithfully every Friday night by mini-skirts and stilettos,” she wrote in The Crimson, Harvard’s daily newspaper, in March 2007. “[But] I have found a much simpler means of garnishing male attention—abstinence... In addition to preserving health and happiness, virginity is extremely alluring.” Fredell, set to graduate in ’09, is a member of True Love Revolution, an organization based out of Harvard whose website claims to “promote respectful and open-minded discussion of issues relating to abstinence, sex and marriage.”

What’s new about women expressing their sexuality onstage or online? Absolutely nothing. Burlesque made a comeback over 10 years ago, pole-dancing classes have made the schedule of suburban gyms and webcams have broadcasted women of all shapes, ages and sizes. Certainly, female sexuality isn’t new. And yet, there’s never a lack of something to say, critique and argue about when it comes to the exposure of female bodies. From the right to the left, a host of persons of various political persuasions judge women’s worth and level of empowerment. If they’re not wearing too much—veiled women oppressed by their religion—then they’re wearing too little.

Video on Demand is a rather simple idea—you watch what you want, when you want. To be more exact, though, Video on Demand (VOD) systems allow users to choose and watch video content over a network, usually via an Internet connection, where the content is streamed and watched as it loads or is completely downloaded before it is viewed. The whole point of it all? People can have what they want and when all through the privacy and safety of their Internet connection. In the adult industry, VOD has been available online for roughly eight years. AEBN, Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network, is the pioneer of adult VOD, providing Pay-Per-Minute viewing options for the first time in the industry. Also vying for online customers are VOD companies HotMovies and Gamelink.

While in his early 30s, Sabin Prince, an actor from Los Angeles, started to notice that his libido had been waning. His urologist assured him nothing was wrong, but still he found arousal difficult. That was until, after some Internet research, Prince found out that a growing number of men were actually re-growing their foreskins and reporting improvements in their sex lives. Soon thereafter Prince began the process of foreskin restoration. Today, at 47, Prince is so very glad that he did. 

“The changes!” he told TIME Magazine in November 2007, describing his enhanced pleasure. “It's 100 percent more sensitive.”
