Porn addiction is not the problem. You are.
READ THIS. It’s about porn addiction. And how it’s not a thing. Oh. YEAH. Thank you thank you thank you, science, for saying this shit! Now granted, this was written by the same guy who wrote The Myth of Sex Addiction, a book which makes a lot of good points but gets quite mired down…

Do Not Fuck Todd Akin
There are a lot of things I could say in response to Todd Akin’s remarks to a Fox affiliate in St. Louis, which aired on Sunday. This dude actually said these words: “It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, (pregnancy from rape) is really rare. If it’s legitimate rape,…

Wednesday Linksitosis
1) Aaahahahaha, I made you look at a penis snake! Although, actually, according to Grist, “this thing is not a snake (or a penis) but actually a caecilian, which is a type of legless amphibian.

I realize that in writing this I’m holing myself up quite solidly in my ivory tower, but I’m prepared to deal with that. This is, after all, my damn blog. I’ve been waiting around to hear some responses to the new bisexual men study from Northwestern University before talking about it here because I find…

Reflections on Going to the Gyno
I wonder what it’s like to be a gynecologist. I’m sure the experience varies wildly depending on your type of practice, geographic location, specialization, and so on, but every time I go to visit my gynecologist I just can’t help thinking that the job must be joyful and joyless at the same time. Joyless because…

Oooooooh This Makes Me Mad
A not-very-thought-provoking read on Al Jazeera (to their credit–in the Opinions section–by Naomi Wolf: “Is pornography driving men crazy?” An interesting title, actually, because she doesn’t really talk about what she means by “crazy” in the first place. I think “crazy” here might be retranslated to “those who willingly watches pornography.” I’m frankly hoping someone…

I’m Not an “Ordinary Person”
I really want to fill out the questions in this survey from Clarissa Smith, Feona Attwood, and Martin Baker about the ordinary person’s use of and relationship to pornography. For maybe the first time ever, some serious researchers (in England) are getting together not to talk about how good or bad porn is, or whether…

It is officially post-spring equinox now, and we are officially on our way toward warmer days and higher libidos! I don’t know about you guys, but I find it a…

Gangbangs = Clone Armies
1) This has just occurred to me. I’m waiting for round 1 of questions from our gangbang queen, Sabrina Deep, regarding gangbang etiquette to be returned to me, and in the meantime I’ve gotten to thinking: Gangbangs = Clone Armies. Or at least they could. Think about it. The biological, evolutionary desire for gangbangs and…
