  • Russia Going Laissez-Faire?

    by Jason Stotts In a surprising move, Russia is poised to become freer than the now ironic “land of the free.”  The Moscow Times, in their piece “Russia Takes Anti-Socialist Approach to Healthcare,”  is reporting that: “While Washington plans to pump unprecedented sums into what critics call a government takeover of health care, Moscow is…

  • Defend South Park!

    by Jason Stotts I am a big fan of South Park and have been since I started watching the show, over a decade ago. Unfortunately, now, the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, have had an informal “fatwa” issued against them.  While it’s not an “official threat,” I side with Ayaan Hirsi…

  • An Interview with Swingers

    by Jason Stotts This is a compilation of an interview I did with friends of mine who are swingers. The interview originally appeared on the old Erosophia in two parts, separated by about 2 months or so.  In the second interview, my friends adopted the names Wendy and Stan to make it clearer who they…

  • Use Somebody

    by Jason Stotts In dealing with sexual issues, I frequently hear the objection that X is wrong because it involves “using somebody.”  This argument is so painfully silly that it vexes me every time I hear it trotted out as the coup de grace that X is immoral.  So, let’s analyze this little Kantian silliness.…

  • Referenced by The Pew Research Center

    by Jason Stotts I just found out that my piece “There’s no G-Spot??” on the old Erosophia was referenced by The Pew Research Center as representative of the reaction of the blogosphere to the King’s College study that found that there was no g-spot…as self-reported by 1800 women. British Study The experiment that led scientists…

  • Objectivist Round Up

    Welcome to the April 22, 2010 edition of Objectivist Round Up and the first Round Up that has been hosted here, on the new Erosophia! I want to remind everyone that today is “Earth Day” and so we should all do our part to make the world a little less habitable for humans…hmm, just realized…

  • FormSpring Question: Asexuality

    Q: I’m asexual. Do you agree with those who say I’m just repressed? Could there be any “unfortunate premises” I accepted? I’m no prude but I can’t imagine personally wanting sex with anyone, ever. A:  Your question is very difficult to answer, given how little information you’ve supplied.  Let me give you some of my general…

  • The State of Boobs

    by Jason Stotts The other day Violet Blue linked to an article called “The State of Boobs” that has some interesting information in it.  I’m not sure how great the source is, since it’s an informal survey conducted by a magazine, but it’s interesting nonetheless.  If it’s true, it means that nearly 50% of all…
