In NYC/Baltimore-based photographer Scout Paré-Phillips’s lovely photo series Impressions, which we spotted over at It’s Nice That, we see the body as it reels from its daily confrontation with fabric or jewelry, each adornment leaving its mark. Or maybe we see blithe humans draped in invisible garments that reveal themselves only in the pressure they apply. Either way, these photographs are lovely and a little painful to look at — and they also make us want to dress in soft jersey for the rest of time. Check out some of Paré-Phillips’s gorgeous photographs after the jump, and then be sure to head on over to her website to see more of her work. … Read More

Mind-Bending, Surreal Nude Photos by Asger Carlsen [NSFW]
These beautiful, anonymous black and white nudes from Denmark-born, New York-based artist Asger Carlsen look perfectly real and natural, until… You notice that appendages drip out of bodies in inhuman ways. You can see the skeletons folded inside the taught skin but something is horribly wrong. The way these globs of flesh are stacked on top of legs could sustain gravitational balance but not human life. Elbows sprout out of fists. Torsos are truncated. The heads aren’t even there. We’re not sure what’s more unsettling: The limbs resembling writhing phalluses or the writhing phalluses resembling limbs. Proceed for some explicit love-children of Roger Ballen and Francis Bacon. … Read More
10 Boundary-Breaking Movie Sex Scenes [NSFW]
Nicolas Roeg’s 1973 film Don’t Look Now is an intense and effective psychological thriller, acclaimed at the time of its release and only more respected with with each passing year. It has also been the topic of a long-standing controversy: a key sex sequence between stars Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie was rumored to be, well, not quite simulated.
At long last, we’ve got a credible source confirming the story: Peter Bart, the Variety editor and film commentator, was a Paramount executive during the film’s production, and claims in his new book, Infamous Players: A Tale of Movies, the Mob, (and Sex), that he visited the set on the day that the scene in question was shot. While watching, he writes, “it was clear to me they were no longer simply acting: they were fucking on camera.” Sutherland has denied the writer’s claim, but if Bart is telling the truth, then Don’t Look Now would presumably mark the first occasion of unsimulated sexual intercourse in a mainstream motion picture. With that belated honor bestowed, let’s take a NSFW look at some of the other boundary-breaking sex scenes of cinema. … Read More
The Year in NSFW Music Videos
There was a time when music videos had to conform to certain guidelines: they had to be short, so as to hold the attention of teens who watched TRL (unless they were “Thriller”), and they had to be tasteful enough to air on basic cable. But now that we get so much of our entertainment online, and MTV barely airs music videos anymore, the rules have changed. These days, as this collection of 2010′s most gawked at and talked about clips demonstrates, anything goes. From the artsy to the political to the bizarre to the just plain awful, this is your year in NSFW music videos. … Read More
Daily Dose Pick: Destricted [NSFW]
Four years after it was banned from US release for its explicit content, Destricted brings together creative — and graphic — musings on sex and porn by artists including Marilyn Minter, Matthew Barney, and Richard Prince.
Among the DVD’s eight film shorts are Barney’s “Hoist,” a decidedly erotic take on man vs. machine; Minter’s “Green Pink Caviar,” featuring a woman kissing, sucking, and licking in extreme close-up; Prince’s “House Call,” a revision of a voyeuristic 1970s porno; and Larry Clark’s “Impaled,” for which he interviewed Gen Y-ers on their experiences with porn, then presented the reality of their fantasies. Together, the films are sexy, disturbing, and beautiful, all at once. … Read More
The Flaming Lips’s New Cosmic Peeing Video [NSFW]
If you saw the video for The Flaming Lips’s “Watching the Planets,” you’ll already be familiar with the giant, hairy ball with an unmistakably yonic slit. And if we are to consider their new clip, for “See the Leaves,” as a direct sequel to that one, the story of that ball now goes something like this: After a crowd of naked people strip Wayne Coyne and shove him into that giant vagina, it begins to leak a cartoonish, bright yellow liquid that a nude, blindfolded young woman bathes in and ingests. She emerges with a glowing, yellow vulva of her own, flicking the liquid it issues this way and that as she stalks about in parks and parking garages, and eventually finding her spiritual home in a wildfire.
Is it actually supposed to be pee? Probably not, although yellow is certainly not the only color in the rainbow. But whatever. We don’t question The Flaming Lips. We just admire their freak flag as it flies in the afternoon sun. … Read More
Pic of the Day: Michael Cera Goes Pantsless
(NSFW) Video of the Day: M.I.A. Combines Guitar Feedback and Gun Violence
Gooood morning. The NSFW Romain Gavras-directed video for new M.I.A. track “Born Free” dropped this morning, and boy is it epic. What starts as an ambiguous police raid segues into an intensely violent torture session with redheaded lads being the object of ire. As Maya Arulpragasam pointed out on her Twitter feed, the video has already been removed from YouTube for its graphic content. As for the song, it’s a hard rock cry away from the days of “Galang.” Click through to view (and consider yourself… Read More
A Comparative Lyrical Analysis of Necro and Eminem [NSFW]
Sure, Eminem is a homophobe, a bigot, a violent lyricist, and an immature asshole. But, is he actually insane? In the wake of his new album many are saying that he’s finally gone over the edge. Personally, I’ve always thought of him as a jockish, 13-year-old bully who just can’t stop lobbing butt-obsessed insults. It’s true, songs like “Insane” and “Bagpipes from Baghdad” do court genuinely evil imagery, but is the dude actually a danger? For the benefit of the enraged, we’ve prepared a series of NSFW (or really, anywhere else) lyrical comparisons between Eminem and prominent underground MC Necro. We don’t endorse either (they’re both despicable), but it’s pretty easy to tell who is an attention-starved instigator and who is dangerously, dangerously… Read More
