Kinky sex is back. Again. As Laura Antoniou, author of popular erotica series The Marketplace puts it, "the mainstream media 'discovers' kinky sex every 10 years or so."

The classic combo of a shot and a beer, known countrywide as "the only reason life is really worth living," was given a little shine by the New York Times this week. If you thought that tasty matchup had fallen out of favor, you were wrong*—and this time, it's been reinvented with an elegant (expensive) twist:
