bubblicious
So, apparently a group of students in Montgomery County (Georgia? Who knows) were taught about the dangers of STDS by passing a piece of chewing gum around. After it had been, you know, chewed...
The thing is, a piece of gum loses its flavor after it's been chewed by 1 person. Pretty much any contact with a human mouth is going to make gum less flavorful and interesting to even the same person 20 minutes later...
This, then, is what children are being taught about sex: After you've broken the freshness seal, it's no longer any fun. Think about the damage that does to these children's future sexual activity. They are being taught that after losing their virginity, they themselves become sexually worthless in less time than it takes to watch a sitcom. Unless they are not supposed to see themselves as the gum, but rather their partners. And if they're being taught to objectify their partners, that's an even graver sin...

Chris Matthews is an ass...
Why does Chris Matthews think that he's being brave by calling for the Edwards' marriage to be less equal?

What it means to be a “nice guy”
There is this pervasive social idea that “nice” people don’t get laid. Or much of anything else. Amanda steps up to debate the idea that nice guys ought to expect tail just for being nice. The post she is responding to involves a guy who claims to want to be feminist whining about how this won’t get him into bed with the sort of buxom young thang he is used to. There were so many bad premises and false starts that it’s a miracle Amanda arrived at a valid conclusion...
Let me just start off by laying out my own beliefs. I’d love to call myself a feminist. Insofar "feminism is the radical notion that women are human", I’ll roll with it. Since I tend to feel that way about every-damned-one is human (replace the relevant bits of that statement with the “race” or creed of your choice and you’ll see what I mean), I tend to call myself a “humanist”. This means that in my view, men are from... Earth. Women are from... Earth. Some of us want to visit the Delta, some the Obelisk, but everyone wants to travel...
So what does it mean to be “nice”? Well, in my experience, “nice” means “spineless” and “socially awkward”. When a “nice” guy meets a girl he likes he does everything he can for her. He treats her as either a child or a goddess—but never a co-equal human being. If he treats her like a child, he’s showing that he doesn’t respect her enough for her to return that respect. If he treats her like a goddess, he’s showing that he doesn’t respect himself enough for her to respect him. Either way: this guy may have made a friend. But never a lover....
Non-nice people come in as many varieties as a pack of flavored condoms. I won’t defend each and every choice—some are indefensible. I will say that non-nice people are capable of communicating desire. Effectively communicating this desire is a pretty universal key to most people’s private chastity belts. In fact, nearly every other lock is extremely personalized. No wonder” nice” guys can’t get to first base; they can’t communicate their desire. Nor are they able to pick up on the subtle cues that a woman would really quite badly like to be nailed to the nearest sturdy object. This is the “social awkward” part...
When looked at as a whole, it becomes quite clear: feminist men aren’t “nice”. Indeed, it is quite clear to me that spineless and awkward men aren’t going to get laid no matter how egalitarian the world becomes. It isn’t that women like men to be assholes, merely that men and women both like their partners to have gonads. Our species’ survival kind of depends on it...

Ladies First - The utopian fantasy of Deep Throat. By Laura Kipnis
But a better comparison is science fiction, another genre that takes a "what if" approach to bodies and societies. Like sci-fi, porn replaces existing realities with wild alternative universes (against which to measure the lackluster, repressive world we've inherited). At its most inventive, pornography too has an allegorical distance from the real, as with the deeply absurdist Deep Throatan utterly invented erotic world in which male and female bodies and desires correspond with one another far better than they do back here on terra firma.

I seem to have attended the wrong highschool...
Yahoo! News - Sex Map Shows Chain of Almost 300 High School Lovers
In one instance, 288 students were linked in a one-to-one chain of sexual contact that rarely looped back. In other words, one boy had sex with one girl, who had sex with another boy, who had sex with another girl and so on.And they were doing it this way on purpose, Moody said.
"All the evidence from this network suggests that the kids were very aware of the local pattern and local history of sexual activity," Moody said.
"They know they are not going to date their ex-boyfriend's girlfriend's partner. That's too close."
He said it was almost like an incest taboo. "It forces people to find new partners instead of recycling."

A New York Escorts Confessions - No Sex Please, We're Lawyers!
The other, more moderate, proposal, would have prohibited lawyers from having affairs with "vulnerable" clients, such as those involved in immigration, criminal and family law disputes
Amusingly, I once gave that exact advice to a (married) woman contemplating having an affair with her priest. Basically, I--in my ministerial capacity-- said having an affair with _a_ parishioner is fine, having an affair with one of _your_ parishioners is a bad move Same logic goes with Lawyers and Clients...

I find this one hard to credit...
Ananova - Childless couple told to try sex
How in the name of the gods can one grow up in modern society and not be bombarded by the basic mechanics of sexual reproduction? How could they know it was "sinful" if they didn't know what it was?
Thanks jaquandor...

The Encyclopedia
As a newly single man, my thoughts once more turn to sex. Don't blame me, blame biology...
Of course, having been single for less than a week, after having been with no one else since-- hell! Since I started this blog, my pick up moves are a bit rusty. No matter, when I get them back into grove (so to speak), there will be a resource for me, the the Encyclopedia of Sex. Just to make sure I remember where it is, I've pinned it to my sidebar. Go ahead and click away...
