“Pornography is the secret engine that drives the adoption of most modern technology, videogames included. By connecting the dots (or rather, pixels) between interactive media and that most interactive of human experiences, Brown shows the pivotal role erotic content has played in the evolution of this new medium, as well as the furor and controversy it inevitably stirs up.”
SCOTT ALEXANDER,
Senior Editor, Playboy

“A stimulating look at two of today’s most controversial subjects… Sure to amaze and titillate anyone who’s ever hoisted a videogame controller.”
SCOTT STEINBERG,
CNN Tech Correspondent and Author of “Videogame Marketing and PR”

“Damon Brown tells the tale of the marriage of pop culture, video games, and porn with a geek’s glee and a historian’s attention to detail.”
AUDACIA RAY,
Author of “Naked on the Internet: Hookups, Downloads and Cashing In on Internet Sexploration”

“I have no idea why Damon Brown included Leisure Suit Larry in this book about all those dirty games, but I must agree with the U.S. Supreme Court: I can’t define a good game, but I know one when I see one!”
AL LOWE,
Creator of Leisure Suit Larry, www.allowe.com

“A thorough, meticulously researched history of video games and other adult entertainment, providing much food for thought about a generation that grew up taking all of it for granted. Just how many of today’s best games do we owe to sex, anyway?”
REGINA LYNN,
Wired.com Sex Drive columnist and author of “The Sexual Revolution 2.0″

These are a few of my favorite things

Sexier Sex cover

Last night long-time sex/tech writer Regina Lynn threw a release party for her second book, Sexier Sex: Lessons from the Brave New Sexual Frontier. Chocked full of fun, practical advice, including how to sex up everyday technology like your cell phone, Sexier Sex is good to read with a partner.. or solo. The event was at Freddy and Eddy, a warm, family-owned adult store in Venice Beach. There was good company, great hosts and chocolate and champange, the latter of which isn’t helping my sluggishness today.

A WIRED columnist, Regina Lynn has been covering the sex and technology realm for more than five years, and there’s no doubt that her work, along with Annalee Newitz, Audacia Ray and other trailblazers, have made it easier for me to cover the sex and video games arena. Salute.
