by Jason Stotts I really feel like I shouldn’t have to write this post, but I fear that all too many people don’t understand basic hygiene well enough that it’s warranted. One of my readers pointed out that in a Savage Love podcast sometime back (Episode 188 at the 5:30 mark) a man had a question about his [...]
by Jason Stotts I often get asked, because I advocate that sexual attraction is a response to values, whether physical beauty is a value. The intention of the question is, of course, to see if I think that physical beauty is a sufficient value to justify sexual activity. I’ve always thought this was an interesting [...]
by Jason Stotts One of the things I hate most about christianity, and there is oh so much I hate about it, is the christian propensity to find offense in everything they don’t like and to feel indignation when they are rebuffed: their feeling that they are always right and everyone else is always wrong. [...]
by Jason Stotts The registration for ATLOSCon 2012 in Atlanta is now live! That means it’s time for you to register for my class and my workshop on sex. Oh, you didn’t know that you’d be able to see me speaking live this year? Well, read on. This year at ATLOSCon I’m going to be [...]
by Jason Stotts I think it’s funny how many christians don’t know the origins of most of the easter symbols. Why, for example, are bunnies and eggs associated with zombies? The answer, of course, is the early christians adopted the pagan symbols for fertility: rabbits that multiply quickly and eggs that are the symbol of [...]

It is the story of children caught up in the machine of an all powerful government who controls the very lives of its citizens and kills [...]
by Jason Stotts I never thought that I might live to see the day that I said MTV has a good show on the air. Today is, however, that day. They’ve enlisted Dan Savage, who’s advice on relationships and sex is superb (even if some of his politics are disagreeable), to travel the country to [...]
by Jason Stotts 1. A lot of people don’t realize this, but Penn and Teller are Objectivists. It’s obvious if you ever see their live show (which is fantastic) and even explicitly says so in their program. The other day I noticed Teller tweet the following: A big thank you to Jason Crawford for making [...]
by Jason Stotts It’s easy enough to make mistakes. It is not so easy, however, to admit it when you do so and act to correct your mistake. Admirably, Leonard Peikoff has done just that, recanting his earlier position on rape, saying: I want to correct a significant error I have made in an earlier [...]
by Jason Stotts Amy Peikoff has now weighed in on Leonard Peikoff’s statement about rape from his recent podcast and I agree with her assessment. She also says she finds it interesting that no one has commented on the rest of what he said about rape. I know that for me, there was no reason [...]
