Slate's Prudence Helps a Young Boy with his Fetish
In Slate's section Dear Prudence, a
mother writes in that she's concerned that her 13 year-old son has a fetish about rubber gloves. She saw him watching porn about it so she installed filtering software.
He was horribly embarrassed and guilty, and he promised to give up gloves forever. ... Should I try to stop him, or should I just chalk it up to a personality quirk and worry no longer?
Well, I wouldn't be too worried. Being 13 and horny is normal and we fetishize lots of "normal" things like blondes and redheads and Asian girls (if you're white) and white girls (if you're black) and big breasts and big dicks and Catholic school girls and Catholic school principals and a whole shit ton of other things. Of course, Prudence will consider this when telling the mom to offer some understanding toward the kid and allow him to be a little weird without worrying that it will scar him for life or make him a freak.
[Dr. Martin] Kafka recommends contacting the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers—not because your son is or will be an abuser, but because these professionals are knowledgeable about paraphilias.
Holy shit.
Really? You couldn't have just said, "Give him time and if his schoolwork starts slipping or he seems to be withdrawing socially, take him to see a psychologist who will help your son accept his fetish and teach him how to enjoy relationships with and without the fetish."
My mistake. I forgot that we used to think homosexuality was a contagious disease and masturbation would physically harm you. I forgot that this country was founded by Puritans who view anything sexual or enjoyable as sinful and evil.
Well, I guess she couldn't. Wouldn't be prudent.

QOTD: Jon Stewart on homosexuality, humanity and shame
"The fact that you would trust the government with tanks and nuclear weapons but not to pass out cheese to poor people, well, you gotta ask..."
"Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality."
"Semantics is cold comfort when it comes to humanity."
"You talk about the Pro-Life movements being one of the great shames of our nation. I think if you want number two, I think, I think it's that. I think it's an absolute...it's a travesty that people have, uh, forced someone who is gay to have to make their case that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else."
-Jon Stewart to Gov. Mike Huckabee, The Daily Show, 09 Dec 2008
I am often amazed at how very respectful the audience of The Daily Show is. They don't boo; even when Stewart hits a big ideological point, they often stay quiet because cheering would make it more like a game than a discussion. For a show that's about laughing and humor and cheering, it's incredible how quiet and respectful the audience can be when they're hearing someone argue for something they argue against.

Dan Savage on hot teenagers, asshole parents and vows that you may come to regret...
I tried cutting this down to a paragraph or two but it didn't work. The punchlines are funny but they are only there to lighten otherwise horrific truths and people
need to recognize the truth.
The 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, the GOP's vice-presidential nominee, is pregnant. The news was released by the McCain camp during a busy week—a hurricane, the Republican National Convention, Dick Cheney getting us into a war with Russia—so it didn't receive the coverage it deserved. To recap:
Seventeen-year-old Bristol Palin got her ass knocked up five or so months ago by 18-year-old Levi Johnston. Among the hobbies listed on Levi's since-yanked MySpace page—"fishing, shoot some shit, and just fuckin' chillin'"—was this revealing tidbit: "I don't want kids." But Bristol, says her mom, "made the decision on her own to keep the baby," and is now engaged to Levi "Shootin' Shit" Johnston.
As the adoptive parent of a child born to a pair of unwed teenagers, I'm certainly not in favor of abortion in all circumstances. But I believe that it's a choice teenagers should be able to make for themselves—with input from their families whenever possible—and, so it seems, does the GOP's VP nominee. Sarah Palin is pleased that her daughter made the decision—on her own—to keep the baby.
But Sarah Palin doesn't believe that other girls should be able to make their own decisions. Sarah Palin believes abortion should be illegal in almost every instance—including rape and incest. So Bristol Palin is being celebrated for making a choice that Sarah Palin would like to take away from all other American women. Apparently, today's GOP believes that choice is a special right reserved for the wayward daughters of Republican elected officials.
Oh, and Sarah Palin also believes that birth control shouldn't be made available to teenagers, she opposes medically accurate sex education, and she backs abstinence-until- marriage sex "education."
Sigh.
The GOP has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into abstinence "education" programs during the Bush years. I believe this enormous investment of public funds begs the obvious question: Is our children abstaining? Sarah Palin's aren't. Despite this massive outlay on the part of the American taxpayer and the example set by her Christian parents, Bristol Palin became sexually active while still in high school. Excuse me, but if abstinence education can't keep the daughter of the evangelical governor of Alaska off the cock, what hope is there for the daughters—and some of the sons—of average Americans?
I'm a cad for writing this, of course, because shortly before Bristol and Levi were paraded before cheering throngs at the Republican National Convention, the Palins asked the media to respect their daughter's privacy.
Another special right: When it comes to respecting your family's privacy, Palin and the GOP see no need. They want to micromanage the most intimate aspects of your private life. And if their own kids fail to live up to the standards that Palin and the GOP seek to impose on your family, well, that's a private matter between the Palins, their daughter, their God, and the thousands of screaming imbeciles in elephant hats waving McCain/Palin signs on the floor of the Republican National Convention.

Don't be a pussy trying to get pussy.
Everything I need to know, I leared from
Ferris Bueller's Day Off:
Cameron has never been in love - at least, nobody's ever been in love with him. If things don't change for him, he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she's gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work.
But here's the thing--it's more than just not kissing their ass. Women are taught very bad things growing up and what they learn is that being treated like shit is normal and if they're treated nicely, there's something wrong. Women have associated certain actions and behaviors ("being nice") with larger roles ("being a pussy") and won't spend enough time considering you to overlook the "nice" part.
My rule? Have fun. If that means you're being a dick, so be it. If they don't like it, fuck 'em. I treat women the same way I treat men--disposable. A friend is different: you care about them and they've earned that honor. Joe or Jane Random hasn't.
More than being an asshole or being generous, happiness is attractive. If you seem like you're having fun, people will want to have fun with you. Don't compromise having fun because you want to worship at the altar of pussy.

Chicks dig hair.
Matt Savage is
trying to grow his hair out but he's having second thoughts. Let me clear this up.
Chicks dig hair. REALLY dig it. Most women with a preference choose long hair over short--I can only recall one woman ever telling me she preferred short hair on a guy but I've had lots of women start playing with my hair without even asking or saying hello. Just last night, I was giving a girl a hug goodnight (in front of her husband) and she remarked how nice my hair smelled.
Just think of how often girls in school would play with one anothers' hair. I remember how they would often brush some boys' as an excuse to be closer to them.
I suspect the psychology of women's desire for it is is a mixture of Uniqueness/Rebel along with Peacocking. Long hair is not the norm and is often not allowed in "normal" society, so it shows that you're willing to be "different". People also see the time involvement in maintaining long hair and is shows that you're willing to take care of yourself and look good. (This all presumes you
DO take care of your hair.)
Take care of your hair, regardless of the length or style. In the "dating" game, having a unique hair cut/style is to your advantage because it makes you stand out and it gives insight into your personality and character.
Long hair also has the benefit that it reminds people of youth and vitality and invites women to touch and play with it. Trust me. I've had long hair (past my ears and collar) for twenty years. Chicks dig long hair.
(My perspective may be biased; it is reasonable that there are women who dismiss me because of my hair but I don't notice because I dismiss them also...because I can sense they are someone who wouldn't be interested in me.)Labels: dating, hair, matt savage, men, seduction, sex, women

QOTD: Degrees + Studying = Elitist
"It seems rather elitist to me for people who maybe have degrees in this field to feel that they, because they've studied it, somehow know better than the parents..."
Rep. John Duncan (R-TN), on the support of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association and the American Public Health Association for comprehensive sexual education, rather than abstinence-only classes. I shit you fucking not.

Study shows stilettos are secret to better sex
Stilettos are
good for posture, muscle tone and pussy control.
She discovered that women who held their feet at a 15-degree angle to the ground, the equivalent of a 7cm [2"] heel, showed up to 15% less electrical activity in their pelvic muscles. The results suggest the muscles are more relaxed when women wear higher heels, increasing their strength and ability to contract.

My Fatty Fantasy
What is it about a fat girl that the only arousing fantasy I have is making her cry?
Or maybe, what is it about
me that the only arousing fantasy I have about a fat girl is making her cry?
For the record, this girl was not chubby or even fat, she was unequivocally obese...and I couldn't take my eyes off her. She did have a pretty face and would have been attractive had there been half as much of her, but still...
All I could see was her naked and crying. God, it's turning me on now.

Cops focus on naked tushie when they should go after creepy grandpa
Virginia Beach cop says
a guy's tushie is obscene:
Police, saying they were responding to citizen complaints, carted away two large promotional photographs from the Abercrombie & Fitch store in Lynnhaven Mall on Saturday and cited the manager on obscenity charges.
The photos were pretty
tame. It's ridiculous that we actually consider the naked body to be obscene; being naked in public will get you registered as a sex offender which is automatically assumed to mean you're a child molester.
Oh, speaking of child molesters, some sick fuck in Canada-ay
molested another grand-daughter when he was on parole for impregnated the first. Yet the family welcomed him back with open arms.
At the time of the incident, the man was on parole after serving two years of a five-year sentence for incest. He had sexually abused another granddaughter several times when she was 12 and 13, and only admitted it when DNA tests proved he fathered his own great-granddaughter.
