The year in Sex
January / February, 2013
RST BLUNDERS, KINKIEST SCANDALS, TTEST WOMEN AND WEIRDEST NEWS
IN PRAISE OF CELL PHONE CAMERAS
Which geek decided phones should have cameras-and can we buy him a beer? Hackers apparently stole nude shots from the phone of Heather Morris of Glee, which is not cool, so we refuse to look at them a fourth time. Olivia Munn of Magic Mike and Christina Hendricks of Mad Men were also exposed, though Hendricks will cop only to the shot of a woman pushing her boobs together and not to the headless nude. (Every denial sent amateur detectives scurrying to compare tattoos and skin "dents.") Alison Pill of The Newsroom accidentally tweeted a topless shot of herself, and by the time she realized her error—"Ugh. My tech issues have reached ¦^w heights"-she had 3,000 new followers per breast.
LINDSAY ROCKS Portraying her idol
Marilyn Monroe paid off for Lohan (and Hef): Our January/February issue with Lohan's tribute broke sales records. In The Canyons she co-stars with porn crossover actor James Deen and his large penis.
KINKY STUFF
E.L. James's kinky bondage trilogy has inexplicably sold more than 40 million copies, leaving us tongue-tied. The lesson of the books' success: Figure out how to turn women on and you will be banking one shade of green.
4. GOP FAILS SEX ED Representative
Todd Akin, running for the U.S. Senate in Missouri, claimed the female body blocks rapists' sperm, preventing pregnancy. Vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan called rape just another "method of conception." And Richard Mourdock, running for the U.S. Senate in Indiana, said a pregnancy resulting from rape is God's will. By the voters' will, all three were losers on November 6.
ROYAL BALLS Prince Harry's security muscle forgot to confiscate the phones of the ladies-in-waiting the spare heir had invited to his suite in Las Vegas. Then, as so often happens at royal events, Harry lost badly at strip billiards. The photos taken of his sister-in-law Kate were equally intimate but snapped from a different zip code. One Italian editor justified the invasion as a way to share "pictures of a modern contemporary duchess," as if Queen Victoria never did the full burn. Meanwhile, Katrina Darling, the celebrated burlesque dancer and second cousin once removed to the future queen, posed happily for our photographer. As you can see, Katrina rules.

GLOBAL SEX REPORT Bar Love Joule opened in Tokyo, featuring an array of vibrators and bartenders to explain their merits. (Only women and couples are admitted.)
