Kink On Tap 56: Hymen On A Budget

Summary: Resentful feminists give New Zealand's first male brothel a (ahem) hard time, China's trendsetters take "cosmetic surgery" to new vaginal depths, American conservatives applaud activist judges for stemming stem cell research, and a German pop star gets nailed for screwing around with HIV. This week, having turned on the tap a little early, we welcomed back Arvan Reese, the self-described "Joan Rivers of Kink On Tap" who runs the awesome community blogging site SexGenderBody.com. We were also super excited to welcome Kyle Munkittrick to the show for the first time. Kyle is the Program Director for the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies, which is a sort of think tank that approaches new technologies from an ethically inquisitive point of view. Kyle is also an NYU graduate student whose specializations include transhumanism, a contributor to Discover Magazine's "Science Not Fiction" blog, and keeps his own blog at PopTranshumanism.com. Also, hey, if you're going to be in the San Francisco area on Thursday, September 2nd (that's tonight, actually!) come down to the Harlot club for this month's Forrplay music party, which will be featuring none other than yours truly! Great music by DJ Moxy will be paired with a free Vodka drinks menu featuring kinky specials inspired by Kink On Tap shows. Show up before 10 PM to learn what's in drinks like a "Teledildonic Savior" and a "Vagina Overlord!"
