I hope the science in her lab is appropriately mad.
Found in this post at the blog Gimcrack Hospital, which is even stranger than the illustration.

Uncanny Tales Tube Girl
I guess it will take a long time for the subject to get old: this particular piece of pulp art which appeared on the cover of a short-lived pulp magazine called Uncanny Tales (1939 – 1940) has an unusual appeal, in part because of how explicitly it uses structural elements to make implied nudity possible, but more (for me, anyway) of the “OMG what is happening to me” expression on the face of the model.
Found in this post (with more tube girls) at the very cool blog It’s Dark in the Dark, which has lots of art relevant to thaumatophiles.
Looking into the fembot
At least, that’s what I think is going on in this illustration.
Perhaps she’s in need of a tune up?
Exact provenance unknown, but found at Janitor of Lunacy.
MekSex essay
Those of you who have been following the recent series of posts on sex machines (scary or not) might be interested in this historical essay on fantasy (mostly) sex machines: “MekSex: Machines and Sex.”
No such essay would be complete without links to pictures, naturally.
Now that’s all sorts of Fetish Fuel, folks.
Steampunk Fucking Machine
This looks…a little scary.
“Heavy-duty…industrial-model…steam powered…” I wonder what industry would have used such things exactly. (Let that be a challenge to all you writers of steampunk erotica!) Found in this post at techmorgasmic.com.
Paul Fussell, in his magnificent book Wartime: Understanding and Behavior in the Second World War, reports a song sung by G.I.s: (scroll down to see it)
So I guess we now know whence they got the idea.
Again with the washing machines
You know, when I started up this enterprise almost a year ago I think I might have guessed that there might be a category of posts on tube girls. But washing machines? Well, I guess it goes to show you never can tell. Think of it as domestic erotic mad science.
Found at the blog Cool Information.
Highspeed photo liquid girl
As an appropriate follow-on to the story of making a liquid girl, a “real” one resulting from a drop falling into liquid photographed at high speed by Vladimir Nefedov.
She’s even a pale green — appropriately absinthe-colored for The Apsinthion Protocol. A stunning example of the eros the lives in the world all around us. Found in a collection of similar highspeed photographs here.
Guy in a sex machine
We don’t see a whole lot of guys in sex machines, sadly, but diligent searching will turn up a few. Consider this strapping fellow in the “orgasmatron pleasurizer milker,” which is very mad science, right down to the figure in the background.
Found in the Franco picture gallery.
You can see another example of a guy in a sex machine at this post at Samantha de Savory’s blog, part of a sci-fi version of…how shall I put this…part of the Tiresias legend.
Orgasmatron?
Or that at least is how this particular tube-girlish device is identified at a now closed blog associated with artist Rik Rawling (who has a new cool blog).
Though I fear I don’t know much provenance beyond that. Meanwhile, someone somewhere else on the web was offering a different interpretation (not endorsed by me!).
Fatal sci-fi orgasms
Over at the site Fooyah Entertainment a page that will I think be of interest to thaumatophiles, to wit their rundown of the best fatal orgasms in science fiction, complete with pix and video: “Coital Coronaries and Sexecutions.”
The pic above is, I believe, from a series called Torchwood.
I can be hope that someday a Gnosis College story might appear in a similar future rundown…
