Do you like porn? Do you hate searching for porn? x-archives is a curated newsletter that sends you five porn links every other week. It features the curations of filmmakers, artists, writers such as Hassan Rahim, Sarah Nicole Prickett, Beverly Nguyen (her picks are definitely some of my favorites), Andrew Norman Wilson, and more. If that’s too much, there’s always Tinto Brass.

excellent porn for everyone!
the premise: each issue is in different world cities. naked, cute, gay guys posing, sharing their stories. you learn a lil about each spot (ex: pittsburgh, kiev) and get a brief personal intense peek into someone’s universe.

This was/is a real thing. As elementary school kids, we'd find damp copies of Oui and Penthouse under random bushes in the woods near school in Massachusetts in the late 70s. You'd think it would upgrade your 4th grade magazine collage project, but you'd be wrong.

Amidst the pandemic, when anxiety was at an all-time high, I asked the women featured on passerbuys to share some tracks and albums that helped them sleep, and a soothing playlist emerged from it. You have all the classics; William Basinski, Gavin Bryars, Mary Lattimore, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and more. Although, this one-hour loop of the Fishing with John theme song is probably my true go-to.

I love a massage, but I always find them too soft. I had never done a Shiatsu massage until my friend Laura (who you guys should feature, she has all the deepest recs, maybe she can do an Italian restaurant edition) introduced me to Keisy Oriental Nature Center in the East Village, and I’ve been hooked since. Each time, I walk out with an insane high, like I’m floating, all tension or pain I had going in, gone. They warn you on the call that it’s “no pain no gain”, so if you're into Swedish massages, this is definitely not for you. They charge about $50 an hour. While they also do reflexology and acupuncture, I wouldn't bother with that latter, since I did it for a month and it was pretty suss.

With most of the city being gone last year, I picked up the confidence to bike in Manhattan for the first time with a Citibike subscription. The convenience of going wherever you like, the lack of bike commitment, and the option to go electric over the bridge have been life-changing. I’ve also gotten myself a Bluetooth JBL speaker, that all my friends have rinsed and judged me for. Honestly, it’s safer than wearing headphones, and I’m having a terrific time listening to 1PLIKÉ140. The only thing I'm missing is this in matte infrared.
