Granta has come out with a Sex edition. It features pieces from the likes of Dave Eggers and one of my personal favorites, Jeanette Winterson.

It has a lovely cover.  (F/lthyGorgeousTh/ngs)

We’ve featured model/photographer Cynthia in a couple of issues - our debut, Voyeur (where this self-portrait image is from) and in Force. She’s multi-talented and gorgeous. See for yourself.  (F/lthyGorgeousTh/ngs)

Michael Jordan, at Gawker TV, has a great article up on sexual milestones in cinema before obscenity standards were established and enforced. The first nude. The first kiss. The first stip tease. The first coochie-coochie dance. (FilthyGorgeousThings)

Symphony in Cock. Bill Tong has put together some fine cock-sucking portraits. In this one, I’m struck by the perfect proportions. Of the cock, that is.

I get the feeling that Marc Lagrange simply lives in a mansion full of beautiful, naked women and plays Eyes Wide Shut games all day long.

So, I wasn’t sure how FGT would look on the iPad.

Just tried it out and it looks awesome.

New issue of FGT: Commerce. In this issue, we look at the places where sex and money meet with a collection of perspectives that can only, at best, scratch the thin surface. We have personal voices from a stripper, a client, a prostitute, a woman who writes about sex for money, a woman who trains dancers to dance for money. Kasia answers the question: when would you pay for sex? (Answer: when you’re in the hands of an expert.) So does debauchette. Melissa Gira traces the footsteps of prostitution in her excerpt from w4m

In addition to these written features, we have an interview with Katie West, who’s thrived on ‘digital currency.’ We also have photography by the talented Joseph Story, whose projection work has resonance with the subject at hand. We have your photos. And to finish off, we have a few black and whites by Remi Rebillard, a dose of still, clothed beauty.

This month’s ‘Win This’ is a little different: we want words this time. Your thoughts, experiences, insights. What’s taboo to you? What personal taboo would you like to break? Tell us at [email protected].
