Political News

A Colorado court has denied a sixteen year old an abortion while attempting to use a judicial bypass, required by law there for minors to get an abortion without parental approval. The court said she was too immature to have an abortion, but by denying her an abortion, the court automatically rules that she is mature enough to be a mother, and raise a child. Part of the proof that she was too immature was that she was unemployed at 16, which was one of the reasons she stated for wanting an abortion. The judge also said she was immature for not telling her single mother, with whom she has a very poor relationship. Of course, the whole point of being in court is not having to tell the parents.  In this court, apparently, the bailiff wears an I’m with stupid t-shirt.

Jill Coccaro earned $29,000 with her breasts in a single day. Just for hanging out topless in New York. Actually, she earned the money in a settlement with the city because the police arrested her for indecent exposure during an art show and then held her in jail for 12 hours. In New York, the courts have ruled that it is legal for women to go topless anywhere men can. The problem was not with boobs being exposed, but with boobs not knowing the law when they arrest someone.

Paris Hilton, just out of jail and with her own dedicated news channel, formerly CNN, claimed on Larry King that she is just a social drinker and has never used drugs. She is also a virgin, has always had to work for living, and is famous for her talent.

Two Cleveland residents and owners of Movies by Mail are to be arraigned July 12th in Salt Lake City, Utah on obscenity charges. Seems that the folks in Mormon country like their porn, with Movies by mail having shipped over 670 packages there in 2006. Authorities made it clear that the fact that porn is popular amongst the sacred underwear crowd is irrelevant to the issue of community standards. Apparently, community standards in the case will not be defined by what people actually do, but what people publicly say they do in this extremely conservative nearly theocratic state. If convicted on all counts, they face more years in jail than polygamists who force underage girls into group marriage. It’s a family values state.

Cries of censorship are being heard about the sadly adrift Los Angeles Times, which is going downhill faster than a soapbox derby car with rocket assist. They freaked out when they heard that columnist Joel Stein was going to do a class on How to Give a Blow Job at the Los Angeles Babeland store, a popular female friendly adult boutique. After pressure from editors, he backed out of teaching the class, and would not write a column about it. L.A. Times editors apparently missed the irony in gagging a writer over a blowjob class.

Toyota is rumored to be contacting online adult retailers, telling them to remove from their sites any videos featuring the stars Lexus Locklear, Ariel Alexus, Alexus Winston and anyone with Lexus or any variation thereof in their name. This crackdown has caused considerable consternation for other adult stars, including Yugo Desire, Sierra Pickup, and Mazda R XXX.

Entertainment

The just released IPhone is expensive, so how do you justify the expense? Free playmates! Playboy.com is offering free non-nude playmate wallpapers, a playmate photo album, a 1 hour episode of “The Playmate Hour” , and a Cyber Girl video, all customized for the iphone. Since the screen on the phone changes orientation as you turn it on its side, what they really need is the ability to turn it upside down and the Playmates clothes slide off. Its helped sell pens for years.

Speaking of Playboy, it looks like a feature film will be made about the life of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. It will be Directed by Brett Ratner, who also directed Rush Hour 3 and X-Men 3, so we can expect some pretty amazing stunts. State of the art computer effects will allow them to recreate some of the more legendary Hefner sexual exploits.

MTV is now casting for a new series called "True Life: I’m in the Sex Industry" The ad reads: Do you sell footage of your sex life online? Do you love to watch yourself on YouPorn or PornoTube? Do you run your own XXX website or chat room from home? MTV wants to know what your life in the online sex industry is really like. Apparently, people actually in the music business just don’t provide enough sexual titilattion. This really sounds more like PTV. Which is a channel I’d watch. With shows like Behind the Porn, My Super Sweet 18, Real Fucking World, and Engaged and Just Barely of Age.

A pizza delivery company in Winnipeg realized that pizza boxes were dull, so he decided to spice them up with a little porn. Surprisingly, a majority of the people ordering the Porno Pizza are women. The owner claims that up to 80% of phone calls and people at the door are women, not men like he expected. Sadly, all of them were able to pay.

We have to admit a little fondness for D-lister Kathy Griffin. The next episode of her reality show, My Life on the D List, which is a reality show about someone who is actually smart and funny, rather than a train wreck, features her hosting of the GAYVN awards, the awards show for the gay porn industry. Her show has been porn friendly, featuring gay porn star Gage Weston recently, along with a “date” with Ron Jeremy. Now there is a train wreck. Look for the episode on July 10th.

You run a business, and you host a business meeting. In walks a dominatrix in a skimpy outfit with her slave on a leash. Even getting ready for the meeting was difficult, as all you could find was nightclub attire rather than the business suit you wanted. On your trip to the meeting, you witnessed clothes fly completely off several young scantily clad men and women. These are some of the challenges facing companies trying to use the virtual world of Second Life for business. With some 7 million participants, it is a world with surprisingly little censorship in many areas. Playboy has its own island. There are kinky sex clubs, rampant prostitution, and lots of carefree sex in a world where STDs and pregnancy are only distant memories of a harsher external world.

Here, you can even buy improved genitalia. In fact, there is a large market for sexual paraphernalia and enhancements. Its not just second life- its better than life. If you like sex. Businesses are still trying to figure out how to promote themselves in Second Life.  There are popular  Mature areas where almost anything goes except child sex, a relatively recent restriction on what is commonly referred to as age play, where people play the role of those younger than they are. There is tremendous pressure on Second Life to conform to real world censorship, but so far they have refused.  Can open sexuality and mainstream businesses co-exist in the same virtual environment? That is the interesting experiment that is Second Life.

Sexvestigation: How to Not Do It

My name is Melvin Clear, a proud 27 year old virgin, and owner of the VirginPride.com web site. At my request,  Mr. Booth has allowed me to contribute this investigation on techniques to maintain your virginity, with the requirement that I base it on verifiable science and research. That makes it really hard.

Abstinence only education demands abstinence for unmarried adults up to the age of 29. I think that gives an unfortunate message. Do we really want 30 years olds going wild? I don’t think so. SO, how do you keep yourself from having sex if you’re not married?

Sure, there’s strength in numbers, but a just released CDC study shows how tough it is to find fellow virgins. According to the study, just fifteen percent of the population waited until the age of 21 or later before having sex for the first time. Since the average age of marriage is now 26 in the U.S., way way too few are waiting. And by the way, the average initial age of marriage is closer to 27 for men, so I’m right in the ballpark ready if a like-minded woman happens to be listening.

Its tough. We are assaulted by science on all sides. While abstinence educators assure us of the severe mental health problems that result from having sex as a teenager, which I find very helpful to think about, now we have a just published report in the American Journal of Sociology that says that may not be true The longitudinal study by University of Minnesota sociology professor Ann Meier found that teenage sex had negligible emotional consequences for the vast majority of teenagers. How is reporting this type of information helpful to maintaining virginity? Shouldn’t science be a little more responsible and come up with more helpful results?

So, what about the 600 pound gorilla under the covers? I’m talking about masturbation. According to the Abstinence Clearing House’s Abstinence Survival Kit, "sexual self-stimulation" may "eventually leave the person unable to respond sexually to a real person."  SO, masturbation is definitely out.

But, now we have scientists telling us about sexsomnia in the current issue of the journal Sleep. This new research shows that people can have sexual intercourse and even masturbate in their sleep. In a typicalexample of scientific bias, scientists report of such violent masturbation that people have injured themselves. We all know masturbation does not need to be violent in order to cause injury.

With scientists giving us all this bad news, including all the studies that claim to show that abstinence education is not making people more abstinent, I think the answer is clear. We have to stop listening to the scientists.

How do I not have sex? I just don’t do it. That sounds like a good enough slogan to me.

Happy 4th of July

This seems like a good opportunity to say a few words about the country I live in. The United States. Sure, the rest of the world thinks we are a little crazy, including our attitudes about sex. But as nations go, we are still pretty young. We are in adolescens. We know how crazy adolescents get about sex.

What we have going for us is an amazing Constitution and a bill of rights. Even when leaders in both congress and the presidency try to run them through the shredder, history shows that what is shredded is the legacy of those doing the shredding. The constitution and bill of rights are more powerful than any individual, more powerful than any moment in time. They are living documents that move us inexorably towards a better future.

It looked like it would be difficult times for freedom.  We were told we might have to give up some of our freedoms in order to have the freedom not to be blown up. Ultimately, we did not buy it. The crowd that promoted those sorts of ideas is not very popular right now.

It looked like there would be a crackdown at the federal level on the freedom to view and read what we chose in the sexual arena. Not much happened. Sure, we were gifted with an Attorney General so breathtakingly incompetent that it is a wonder he ever remembered where his office was. But ultimately, federal attorney’s across that nation understood that Americans did not really want their freedoms curtailed. It appears that some of them may have lost their jobs, in part, because they refused to prosecute porn.

No matter how incompetent, corrupt, and just ballsy evil leaders in our government may be, they are eventually replaced. It is not possible to have perfect leadership, but we can, and will have better. I’m too optimistic a person to say that we’ll have worse.

There is a lot to be cynical about, a lot to be distrustful about, and a lot to be plain angry about. But we can criticize our leadership and not go to jail. We can speak up for our rights. We can petition the government for our grievances. We can vote, and when we come together, we can overcome whatever voting shenanigans anyone can conceive.

It really is all about us. We can complain about our government, but it is ultimately a government of us, the people. Its not them. They are just temporary proxies representing us. If the wrong people are there, it is because we made bad choices. When we do, we have a responsibility to try and work together to make better choices.

It seems like we are a nation divided now, and that makes it hard. Choices are presented as stark, black and white, liberal and conservative. That’s just an effort to manipulate us. We have more in common than that which separates us. We need to focus on our common goals, and where we can’t agree, we need to understand that compromise is the essential nature of demoracy. We’ll never be perfect, because we can’t agree on what perfection is, and often our definitions are mutually incompatible.

Democarcy isn’t about that. It is about allowing each individual the opportunity to do as much with their lives as they can. Sometimes that means letting people do things we don’t like, say things we don’t like. But without that, we understand that our own lives will be narrowed. Sometimes it means giving some people a hand. Not a hand out, a hand up. We help our fellow citizens when they have hard times, knowing that the same will be done for us. We can certainly do a better job at it, but it is a part of our nature to help.

There is a lot of work to do to fulfill the potential of our great nation. We have come a long ways towards overcoming racism, and sexism, and many other isms that have divided us. We still have a ways to go, but most of us understand the importance of the struggle. We want to be free. Freedom is at the very heart of the American spirit.     

Whacko of the Week

This week we look at Andy Schlafly,  the son of conservative activist Phylis Schafley,. This is not the gay attorney son John of the gay hating Phylis Schafley, but the heterosexual one.  Actually, we’ll focus more on his creation. When he learned that home schooled students were getting actual facts from online excyclopedi wikipedia, he was shocked and decided to do something about it.  He knew that he needed to create an alternative. One that was not burdened by annoying facts. He called it conservapedia, with the goal of it being a research tool for the home schooled who may not be ignorant enough yet. Conservapedia does not accept the notion of an inconvenient truth, since truth is something easily ignored. I thought it would be fun to compare entries with wikipedia.

Pornography. The first sentence in the lengthy wikipedia article begins “Pornography, sometimes shortened to porn or porno, is, in its broadest state, the explicit representation of the human body or sexual activity with the goal of sexual arousal and/or sexual relief.” The very short conservapedia article begins: “Pornography consists of images or text which produces images depicting the satisfaction of the sort of "unnatural lust" which leads to damnation.” That’s verbatim. They can’t even get the English right. It is not surprising that it is being written primarily by home schoolers.

The conservapedia listing for abortion begins with a lengthy description of the relationship between abortion and breast cancer. This information is found much later in the Wikipedia listing, where it is explained that the scientific community rejects any causal relationship between abortion and breast cancer.

On Wikipedia, Sexual intercourse is defined as “Vaginal sexual intercourse, also called coitus, is the human form of copulation. ON conservapedia, the definition does not exist at all for any variant of sex, and the page has been blocked from being created.

On wikipedia, the homosexuality entry begins: “Homosexuality can refer to both sexual behavior and sexual attraction between people of the same gender or to a sexual orientation” On conservapedia, in an apparent  big fuck you to his own brother, it begins, “Homosexuality is an immoral sexual lifestyle between members of the same sex.” It then goes on to list all the times the bible says they should be killed, and argues that contrary to modern medical thinking, homosexuality is actually a disease.

Here is the first paragraph on Alfred Kinsey on Wikipedia: Alfred Charles Kinsey (June 23, 1894 – August 25, 1956), was an American biologist and professor of entomology and zoology who in 1947 founded the Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, now called the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. Kinsey's research on human sexuality profoundly influenced social and cultural values in the United States and many other countries in the West which went through the sexual revolution starting in the 1960s. The entire first paragraph on conservapedia- Alfred Kinsey was a homosexual sadomasochist who aided and abetted the molestation of hundreds of children in order to obtain data on "child sexuality- managing to pack many falsehoods into a single sentence. . The article continues to repeat the numerous demonstrably false assertions about Kinsey made by last week’s whacko of the week, Judith Reisman.

Schlafly calls Conservapedia the Fox news of online encyclopedias, and indeed it shares the same attention to fact checking and lack of bias. You can learn that the HPV vaccine is a loser (Schlafly is an anti-vaccine advocate), and that no one knows how long it will even last. Which is true- we don’t know how long it will last after you are dead- but it should work just fine while you are alive. You will learn that  Planned Parenthood is a powerful liberal organization that profits from teenage sexual activity. Except that they are a non-profit organization. You’ll learn that a ten year study of abstinence education and the most comprehensive ever done is irrlelvant because it was funded by liberal president Clinton and therefore reached liberal conclusions. You’ll leran that fact free learning is fun!
