  • How 'bout something fun?

    I don't have job screaming on TV. In fact, since being downsized at the end of 2006, I've been a struggling freelancer. As a self-promotion gimmick, I'm in a contest for FREE Lasik surgery that ends this Saturday, May 17th. I actually really need the Lasik, too. It's difficult for me to see WITH my glasses. However, I'm soooooo far behind in ...

  • Better data than Cookie's Cheating Survey

    The General Social Survey (sociology's premier social survey - and of course, unlike Cookie, it's nationally representative) asks how many people have EVER cheated on their spouse. The average over the last decade is about 13%. If we divide that up by gender, it's 17% of men and 11% of women. Now, eyeballing the data by income (the website ...

  • Sex in Christ

    I'm curious about the reference to the advice site offering a Christian justification for strap-ons and bondage. If Radosh is talking about the site http://sexinchrist.com, he seems to have misread its satirical bent.

  • Consequences of Having Extensive Sexual Past?

    You mean there are consequences to having an extensive sexual past? Psychological you say? Emotional you say? Who knew that anyone would actually bother to ask about? And why should anyone's morality stand in judgement of my sexual past, because I am an individual law onto myself. How dare anyone make even a tisk or a whisk or a flinch at ...

  • Virginity: It's How Long... Not Whether

    There is a pro-sex take on virginity that is frequently ignored. For me it comes from the pro-sex perspective of Hassidic Jewish practice. The idea is that, of course people should be virgins until marriage... but marriage had (damn well) better happen by age 18 or 20 because, please, be real, people have needs. (And besides being without ...

  • dubious statistics and overgeneralizations

    Venkatesh makes some misleading statements in “Skinflint.” First of all, he claims to identify three “tiers” of indoor sex work and asserts that the lowest-tier workers earn between $2000 and $5000 per session. ''I found this world by accident in 1999,'' he writes, ''when I started interviewing sex workers in Hell's Kitchen, Spanish Harlem, and ...

  • Hi-Class Adultery

    When discussing the ''collateral damage'' done to the family of a serial adulterer, no one seems to want to bring the really ugly out into the open. We can yawn on and on about the drop in social status of a Mrs. Spitzer, and her children. But every time I see one of these political wives standing silently by her man as he makes his obligatory, ...

  • Re: why should spitzer resign? vitter didn't

    I dont understand what the problem is. I understand the legals aspects and the health issues. But he visited a hooker, so what? What is the big deal. Yes there should be better communication in the marriage, but many times people dont want to talk about sex even with partner. What if the wife isnt turned on to her husband sexually any more? ...

  • A thank you to St. Paul

    To me, one of St. Paul's most valuable pieces of advice is that people remain single if they have good control over their sexual urges. The issue here is not celibacy -- it's personal happiness for the individual, and it's especially true for women given St. Paul's recommendation that women submit to their husbands. There are many Christian ...

  • Re: Chelsa Clinton

    ''Do you even understand the ISSUE?'' Your simplistic dismissal of the query reveals exactly what is wrong with so-called ''news'' nowadays. Whatever his intent, using ''pimped'', ''pimped-out'', or any variation in reference to ANY public figure, not just Hilary and Bill's daughter, is at least graceless and vulgar, an should be considered far ...
