No More “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
by Jason Stotts One oft he very few things that I think Obama has done right since he’s been in office is to work to repeal the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy of discriminating against non-heterosexuals in the military.

Formspring: When is Sex Appropriate?
by Jason Stotts I’ve received another question from Formspring, this one about when it’s appropriate to have sex. When is it an appropriate time in a relationship to have sex?

Sex at Dawn
by Jason Stotts I’ve recommended the book Sex at Dawn a number of times now, both in person and online. It’s a very interesting book about the sexual history of the human species and I think it proves that humans are not naturally monogamous. I highly, and enthusiastically, recommend it, even though it does contain…
