Melissa Jun Rowley is a writer and cause activist living in Los Angeles. She writes for Mashable and WhatGives!?, a blog from Cause Media Group, which focuses on cause marketing for brands and celebrities. But this girl is no goody-goody two shoes. We sat down and interviewed her today about the ir[...]
Three’s Company
I’ve been Sir M’s only trainee for nearly the first six months. He’s rejected many training requests from other submissives — often because he doesn’t think they’re serious, or they are looking for a boyfriend Dom. “I choose my trainees, they don’t ch[...]
Return of the Junior Anti-Sex League
Frightening speculation via The Next Web this morning, though not entirely unsurprising. Apparently, The Telegraph is reporting that a number of erotic novels have disappeared from the top UK sellers list of iBooks. They report this seems to have occurred overnight. Analysts with whom they spoke to[...]

Sex… After Children
Before you have kids, you take sex for granted. The ability to drop what you’re doing in the evening, strip each other’s clothes off and go at it on the living room floor. Waking up in the morning, cuddling in bed for hours, making love off and on throughout the morning, no worries abou[...]
Bra for Baby
We here at Sex and the 405 are about education. We support sexual education, we support things like “oral sex” in the dictionary and so on. Generally, we believe kids should dress however they want and be allowed space in their discovery of identity. But this is ridiculous: This is a ba[...]
Making Up With Twitpic
A couple of months ago, NakedCity LA reported on the battle between porn star Kristina Rose and the Twitter image-hosting site Twitpic. As NakedCity LA pointed out, even the hundreds of tweets of support from her followers (calling Twitpic fascists) did nothing to help. Per the platform’s ter[...]
I’ve Been Bad
I’ve been bad. I deserve to be punished. So I lie in a dog’s cage naked, on my side with legs curled up, pondering my transgression. I’m wearing only the chain leash attached to my rhinestone-studded collar, and a thick blindfold. Sir M sits on the other side of the room in an off[...]
On-Duty Sex at the Rialto Police Department
There is nothing like a sex scandal to rock the local press and that’s exactly what we’ve got on our hands here. According to KTLA, the Rialto Police Benefit Association’s union building has a sex room, which is more like a nondescript room to which officers have keys and which the[...]
San Blas and Other Crazy Things
I read it, and I wanted to cry. So I started drinking water quickly to push it down. It doesn’t really matter. I know you loved me more than anything. You taught me that the only way to love is unconditionally. You explained so much. I argued even when I knew you were right because that [...][...]
A Penis As Big As His Body
Scientists didn’t have a good idea about how the cephalopods – octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish – of the deep get in on. The problem is in the way the body is set up. Most of what appears to be the body and head of, say a squid, is actually a hood, called a mantle. [...][...]
Twilight Gets Sexy
The third movie of the Twilight saga series is out and it was only a matter of time before the spoofs started followed in full. Introducing the hypersexualized version of the hit saga — you can thank us later. [...]
Participate in Dick Research!
We here at Sex and the 405 think that science is totally hot and sexy. As such, we endeavor to bring you every opportunity we can for you to participate in sexy science yourself. We’re cool like that. So, get this: researchers at McGill University are studying male genital self-perceptions. T[...]
The Kiss of the Singletail Whip
Sir M laid down the floggers he’d just used on my back. I was blindfolded and chained up on the Saint Andrew’s cross. The sounds of chatter drifted in through the window but inside the purple room was fairly silent. I breathed deeply to prepare mentally and physically for the next round[...]
Fuck Closure: It’s Never Over
“I could lie here and hold you all weekend, listen to you moan over and over, and then just lie here and hold you until they send the dogs in to find us,” Lucas whispered as I nestled my face into his sweaty neck. Both of us inhaling each other and exhaling our history in [...][...]

Steve Jobs Freudian Slip
The new iPhone is out! Lines at all Apple stores, like club openings for unfortunate-dressed people. Sadly, the device is apparently having some issues. A lot of users are reporting reception issues. Per Engadget: So, we just spoke with Apple and got the straight dirt on the reception issues that h[...]
Do Strippers Make More Money When They’re Ovulating?
A common superstition among strippers is that earnings are directly related to their menstrual cycles. When they’re ovulating, the theory goes, they make more money. Well, guess what? There may be some truth to that. Research conducted by Geoffrey Miller, Joshua M. Tybur and Brent D. Jorda[...]

Dial O for Orgasm
As you might have guessed, my sexual fantasies involve some very dirty things, and phone sex never made that list. I mean, jerking off to a girl’s voice? Isn’t that for people who are addicted to 900 numbers? Those perverts. It wasn’t until a few years into my exploration of B[...]

Does Masturbation Make Humans Unique?
Are humans the only species that masturbates? Well, yes and no. We may not be the only species that likes to play with ourselves, but we appear to be the only species that does it for the explicit purpose of cumming. And we do it A LOT. Scientific American blogger Jesse Bering tells us: In a [...][...]

Her Name Was Loren
Loren and I met in the summer of 2007 on Collarme. She looked like Sofia Loren, and had been an Elite model in her 20s. She was 32 and I was 38. She was looking for a Daddy, and I was looking for a little girl. After a few quick e-mails, we met at Du-par’s [...][...]
