What between this:
The inimitable Nancy Banks-Smith on The night I watched Vera Lynn with Marlene Dietrich [T]hat image has stayed with me for more than half a century because I don’t quite understand it. Marlene Dietrich listening so intently to Vera Lynn and whipping herself.
It's like a scene from one of the movies she did with von Sternberg, no?

And this:
Recently discovered via a link from
jesse_the_k, A new sextech site aspires to solve the “problem” of female sexuality. But why is female sexuality still a problem-and where do its “solutions” come from?. Yet again, the problem is vested in the woman, and there is some kind of techno-solution: OMGYes’s killer app: eleven interactive screens displaying digitized recreations of individual women’s vulvas. The viewer uses the mouse to stroke, rub, and caress in specified patterns while coached by the voice of the woman whose nether regions he or she is manipulating.

We feel that a lot is being left out of the scenario: tactility, individuality, and, in the first place, the willingness of a partner to engage in the activity. I have a ghastly vision of the video-gaming of the female orgasm which leaves actual women and their bodily pleasure completely out of it.
