We were at Fontana’s bar on the LES this weekend, celebrating the raunchy launch of the 2010 NYC Sex Bloggers’ Calendar. This is the calendar’s second year; organizers Tess and Diva created it to bring together “a sex-positive community,” a heady mix of writers, photographers, bloggers, sociologists, doctors, and sex workers. Profits from calendar sales go directly to Sex Work Awareness, a public education project that advocates for sex workers’ rights. Burlesque performer N—the calendar girl for March—was there too, shouting a sales pitch you couldn’t refuse: “Buy the calendar, see my nipples.”

New Yorkers were dropping $20 for the calendar (click here to buy it online), and as an added bonus, getting their pictures snapped with Ms. January (Mia Martina), Ms. February (Abiola Abrams), Ms. June (Lucy Vonne), and others.”Can you just photograph me from the neck down?” asked one partygoer. Yes, ma’am.

A three-part lecture series, “Sex, Cinema & Censorship,” starts tonight at 92YTribeca. NYU’s Howard Oboler traces how film went from titillation to T&A, and tonight he looks at “lesbianism (The Children’s Hour [1961]), homosexuality (Brokeback Mountain [2005]) and pedophilia (Lolita [1962]) in a very academic light.”

As we’re keen educators here at TONY, we’ve compiled some “study aids” in the form of clips from the men-in-drag Some Like It Hot, the sexually empowered and bare-legged (gasp!) Red-Headed Woman and the “I’ve fallen for Audrey Hepburn” lesbian conundrum The Children’s Hour. Enjoy! But in a serious, chin-stroking manner.
