CBS13 Sacremento in covering the Larry Craig gay sex scandal actually roleplays how to solicit gay sex in a public bathroom. Hilarious. God bless local news.

Roll Call reported yesterday that another Republican politician was arrested for lewd behavior in a public bathroom.
Seriously, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS as of late?
I mean this completely un-snarkily. But this summer alone, we’ve had Larry Craig’s grabby hands under bathroom stalls, David Vitter’s diaper shenanigans, Michael Flory’s rape conviction, the [...]

Definitely not safe for work.
But there’s a web-site called moanmyip.com. Basically you click on the link and the web-site displays facts about your hostname, your system, and other various computer geeky information.
What separates this web-site from the rest, though, is that a sexy female voice starts to moan out your IP address, as if the [...]

I find it a little bit funny that this is being treated as such a revelation. One of the major findings of the study is that healthy old people have sex while ill old people don’t. Hmmm.
Anyway, I’m not sure if anyone knew this either but Mom and Dad do it too.

… but luckily, Mike Adams wants to help you clear up that nasty case of emotional crabs. He’s a criminal justice professor, after all. Which means he’s, like, totally qualified to talk to college students about sexual health. How does that make him qualified? … Um, why are you asking such tough questions? Have you, [...]

We all know there are men out there who don’t think women are much good for anything other than being available for sex whenever and however they want it. Roissy in DC takes this one step further and says women aren’t even good for that — at least, not as good as inanimate objects.
It [...]

McClatchy Newspapers has a “Wounded Warriors” blog, which is basically a collection of reports about veteran issues. It’s a great resource for stories which, in my mind, are essential to understanding the Iraq War. And it is also how I came across this commentary, “Pervasive wound of war,” from the Washington Times.
The commentary is about a [...]

It seems DC-dating-scene blogger Roosh V has written an entire book telling men how to get laid, titled “Bang: the average man’s modern guide to getting laid.”
In my humble opinion, anyone who needs an entire book telling them how to get laid is actually never going to get laid. Ever. Anyone who even has [...]

Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon comments on the passive aggressive nature of Cary Tennis’s advice/response to this letter.
Basically, a women writes in to complain about her catch of a boyfriend who has a habit of oogling other women when she’s around.
Cary Tennis warns the letter-writer not to get too nagging by trying to discipline him or [...]

Oh goodness. Wingnut outrage over this in 3 … 2 … 1 ….
Nevermind that this is actually a very good thing. It means Plan B is making a difference. It means more women are probably preventing unwanted pregnancies, preventing abortions, etc. But you know it’s gonna be all, “See? See?!? Women are having more [...]

Submitted without (much) comment:
Amanda Marcotte and Jessica Valenti both have excellent proof that men’s magazine Details actually doesn’t want men or women to have sex with each other again ever. There is no other explanation for why it would run an article that makes men as a whole seem so patently awful, nor attempt [...]

Justin last week was so excited about an article he’d read that he had to call me and leave me a voicemail telling me to check my email immediately when I got home so I could then read the article, which he’d emailed me, and we could discuss.
And, I must admit, it was quite [...]

CDC sex survey results released last week, but I just noticed today. As one commenter at Pandagon pointed out, “it seems that all (these surveys) do is make people either feel like sluts, or like unfuckable goobs.” The median number of lifetime (hetero)sexual partners was seven for men and four for women. As is always [...]

Sometimes when my favorite feminist bloggers point out that a lot of anti-abortion concern for the sanctity of the fetus is really just hatred of women and sex, other people get a little touchy. They like to accuse people making this point of being hysterical and overreacting, or dismiss them as angry man-haters looking for [...]

Apparently a study announced by researchers at Johns Hopkins last week found evidence that oral sex leads to increased chances of getting throat cancer.
If you and your girlfriend have had more than five oral-sex partners in your lives … you are both 250 percent more likely to develop throat cancer than some sad asshole [...]

This is perhaps the most bizarre thing I have read in a while: prostitution insurance / health insurance allegory (am I right on the allegory thing here? my 7th-grade lit class is failing me).
Unfortunately, shifting the costs of prostitution insurance to taxpayers was fiscally impossible. Prosticare, the government’s popular insurance program for the elderly, [...]

People are going to begin to get the idea that I’m obsessed with Laura Sessions Stepp. I’m not, I swear. It’s just that damn woman keeps coming up everywhere i go. Yesterday, she snuck up on me in a conversation I was having in the computer lab up at school. A classmate is writing her [...]

Last Tuesday, I posted about an article in the Washington Post on college students and the HPV vaccine. The article was written by everyone’s favorite kids-these-days (or, really, girls these days) hand-wringer, Laura Sessions Stepp. I started off the post intending to make the point that sometimes I think reporters on teens and young adults [...]

Oh, wow. Sometimes that’s all there is to say about things like this, a Concerned Women for America op-ed penned by Janice Shaw Crouse, a senior fellow at CWA who was also a Bush-appointed delegate to the 2003 United Nations Commission on the Status of Women and “is not hoping to join the ranks of [...]

I’m just going to aggregate some of the more obnoxious, civil-liberties infringing, you’ve-got-to-be-kidding-me laws passed/upheld/introduced this week:
Ocean City, Md. approved a resolution putting a moratorium on “sexually explicit stores,” including adult arcades, adult bookstores, adult video stores, “adult cabarets,” adult motels, adult movie theaters, adult theaters, escort agency’s, “seminude model studios” or sexual encounter [...]
