eye of the storm

"he did nothing wrong." ok. well. first off, it obviously must be a deeply tortured and pitiful life. but that's not to say it ain't wrong. were i gay, i believe i'd have the guts to say i was gay, and were i gay, i believe i'd  have the guts not to say i'm not gay. it's difficult and complicated, but why would you simply absolve someone from all responsibility for an extremely false deceptive life? i've had months or years where i was drinking secretly. but you know it was actually me doing that, and the damage i did to relationships etc. was my responsibility. being gay in a homophobic society is not a blanket excuse for every fucked-up thing you do. also, just for the hell of it, i'm not wild about the ethics of anonymous sex in public places. i say that shit is fucked up, cause i sorta think of sex as an expression of love or something. that is, i think it's actually wrong to blow dozens of dudes you don't know. but maybe that's just my prejudice or something.

personally, i am an extreme homophobe. but i think that as long as you're not gay, it's fine to have anonymous sex with men. all the time. in bathrooms.

ok, ok, i admit it. i did an interview with the nytimes about sex in middle age. now you can stop ribbing me, or, i guess, start.

teen sex

exposure to media leads to teen sex: you'd think people would eventually learn how not to be idiots about stuff like this, but they never do. ok then: the (supposed) fact that teenagers who watch more people have sex on television have more sex themselves could mean a few things. it could mean that tv causes sex. it could mean that kids who are especially horny tend to watch television with sexual content; that seems intuitive, and is compatible with, for example, the idea that they have less sex than they would if they watched less sex on television, which is also a plausible notion. or it could be that the two phenomena are caused by an entirely other set of variables; for example, that children who watch a lot of television and have a lot of sex have less supervision or perhaps religious or moral training than other children, in which case of course there need be no causal relation between the tv and the sex.

professor of love

having, shall we say, "known" a person or two who combined careers in academia and the sex industry, this story about a prof/prostitute didn't really shock me. but what did sort of surprise me was the porcine element. what is the world coming to?

A search of the house found about 150 condoms, nine bottles of personal lubricating substances and numerous business records, according to court records. Police also found two pet pigs living there.

so people. i told you my "if i could sleep with anyone." what about yours? though i also gotta admit i'm kind of partial to veronica lake, who's probable more my, um, stature. you know a lot of it's about the voice. and that's one thing i will say for the radio star, the lovely but rapaciously flirtatious marion winik. great voice.

if you could sleep with anybody... last night i was watching the big sleep and i'll tell you: lauren bacall.
