  • Bisexuals?

    by Jason Stotts The always interesting Violet Blue (obviously her real name) has a new post up about bisexuality and how it can be hard to be bi in today’s world. Understanding bisexuality is not as straightforward as being straight, and while understanding queerness of any stripe engenders compassion and tolerance, it’s more commonly understood…

  • Achilles and Patroclus

    by Jason Stotts I hate when writers or directors anachronistically rewrite history to conform to their own beliefs and prejudices.  This is very apparent in the case of Achilles, who is often portrayed at being overcome by grief at the death of his cousin Patroclus, who dies at the hands of Hector. This is why…

  • A Response by Swingers

    Note: This response was written by the couple who were so kind to answer the questions for “An Interview with Swingers” and it is a response to my recent essay “Swinging: A Different Perspective.” They are writing under the pseudonyms Wendy and Stan to protect their anonymity. ~ J.S. ———– I am the female half…

  • More Evidence that “Abstinence Only” Education is a Failure

  • French to British: Really? You Couldn’t Find the G-Spot?

    by Jason Stotts In response to a group of British researchers publishing a study claiming that the g-spot does not exist (because their subjects didn’t self-report they had one), France’s best known gynecologist Sylvain Mimoun have issued a statement that “The English study is barking up the wrong tree.”  (Telegraph)  Leave it to the French…

  • Australia Hates Small Breasts

    by Jason Stotts I blogged about the impending Australian internet censorship back in December, but now it appears that Australia is out to lampoon itself for me. The proposed Australian Government clampdown on smut just got a whole lot broader, as news emerged of a ban on small breasts and female ejaculation in adult material.…

  • Swinging: A Different Perspective

    by Jason Stotts I’ve been planning to write a detailed essay on swinging and its moral implications for some time now. Unfortunately this is not that essay. It is, however, a detailed look at one important aspect of swinging and one reason why I think that some people find so much value in it. For…
