On Pegging
by Jason Stotts [Note: this is a repost of an essay that originally appeared Sept. 13, 2009 on the old Erosophia. I am reposting it in anticipation of a new, longer, essay on Pegging that I will be putting up soon.] Pegging, for those who don’t know, is the fine art of a woman sodomizing…

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.

Same Sex Marriage and Epistemological Confusion: Revisited
by Jason Stotts After looking over Qwertz’s original essay again, and in light of the clarifying comments I’ve received on my last post on this subject, I believe I owe Qwertz an apology. When I originally read his post, I took him to be taking a much stronger, and indeed different, position that it seems…

Same-Sex Marriage and Epistemological Confusion
by Jason Stotts I am a fan of the blog WoPSR run by “Qwertz.” He generally has good analysis and frequently deals with interesting legal issues. Unfortunately, this time, he strayed too far afield and right into my bailiwick. In his essay “Rand’s Razor v. Gay Marriage” Qwertz takes the position that for a married…
