This is exceptionally cool! I am very jazzed to be in the newest issue of Full-Metal Orgasm - with a piece on sex in science fiction. Here's a tease - and for the issue itself you can order it on amazon ... and be sure and check out Full-Metal Orgasm's tumblr!
Science Friction: A Slightly-Snarky Look At Sex In Science
Fiction ... And Why It Hasn't Been Good But It'll Get Better
Heeellllooo,
Future!
Sure, we might not have jet packs or food pills but, come

You done? Come
on, admit it: this is the fuckin' future: cell phones with more computing power
than (the good half) of Einstein's grey matter, access to just about every book
ever written ... and, more importantly, every episode of Star Trek (including the animated one) just a finger-swipe or mouse
click away; self-driving cars self-driving themselves just around the corner; actually,
honestly, good Dr. Who episodes; apps
than can tell us in a second what took Kepler, Galileo, Tycho, and all the rest of those wonderfully-bearded astronomers
their entire lives to learn; we have robots scruttling over Mars, poing under
rocks for life; little blue pills that can raise even the most flacid of
bridges; plastic breasts; genital cosmetic surgery; totally outraegous porn as
easily found as Star Trek ... and
even - gasp - a black President.
Gay marriage is working its way to being totally legal, and - best of all - no big deal; and ganja fans will soon be able to .... what was
I writing about? Oh, that's right:
before you know it weed will also be totally
legal, and - best of all (again) – no big deal.
