If ignorance about sex is grounds for a court order forbidding it…religious fundamentalists need to start worrying. – “Welcome To Our World (February Updates)”

Do you really want to live in a world where a complete police dossier on every friend, every neighbor, every co-worker, is only a few mouse-clicks away…and yours is equally accessible to everyone else? – “The Devil’s Toys”

Orgasm isn’t only about “doing it right”, sexual satisfaction isn’t only about orgasm, and nobody has the right to define the parameters of “good sex” for you, or to tell you why you “should” or “shouldn’t” have sex. – “Mind Over Matter”

The “euphemism treadmill” [means] any euphemism eventually becomes the semantic equivalent of the Forbidden Word in the brains of listeners, so that it, too becomes contaminated and must be replaced with a new euphemism. – “Unspeakable“

There’s nothing…prohibitionists hate more than whores who refuse to allow themselves to be pimped to the prohibitionist cause. – “Real People”

Though prohibitionists will vociferously deny it, all prohibitionism is the same. – “Change a Few Words”

The demons [prohibitionists] imagine…in cartoons, games and television shows [are] nothing more than the ones which…drive…[them] to anti-social behavior. – “Physician, Heal Thyself”

The tragedy of relationships is that women want men to change, and they don’t, while men don’t want women to change, and they do. – “Fossil“

Same As It Ever Was

It’s always weird to me to watch amateur women freak out whenever some famous man is caught using his power, wealth, or influence to obtain the kind of sex he craves, despite the fact that men in such positions always, virtually without exception, use their power, wealth, or influence that way. Yet somehow, amateurs seem committed to the irrational and dubious belief that some individual man they find attractive or admirable will be an exception to the rule. The problem is that women who have never done sex work really never stop being naive about male sexuality. Sex work teaches you that male politicians, teachers, doctors, scientists, engineers, clergymen, writers, artists, sportsmen, musicians, accountants, etc, etc, are all rather uncivilized where sex is concerned. But there’s little point in our trying to explain it to them, because most amateur women absolutely refuse to admit that whoring might actually grant some desirable skills that it’s difficult or impossible to gain otherwise. Suggest that other female-dominated professions such as nursing or teaching might grant unique perspective, and they’re good with that view. But say it about dirty-bad-icky harlotry, and they won’t have it, because it would interfere with their ability to look down on us regardless of their own education or situation. And so they’ll keep failing to be on guard around men with power, and keep being surprised when they abuse that power in the way powerful men always do.

The best time to ditch the idiotic 18th-century "left-right" model was in the early 19th century.2nd-best time would've been in the early 20th century.3rd-best time would've been in the postwar 20th century.4th-best time would've been before the recent election.So I don't have much hope.

That US law and policy are solidly rooted in Puritanism is clearly visible in the fact that while it is considered "criminal" to make a person feel good for pay, it is perfectly legal to deny a person medicine or treatment he needs to feel good.

It’s time for the rational people of the world to recognize th[e prohibitionist] mentality for the ridiculous superstition it is, and to assign to those who espouse it the same credibility we allow to witch doctors, flat-earthers and those who claim the Egyptian pyramids were built by space aliens. – “Juxtaposition”

Female sexual psychology is generally much more complicated than male, so it’s a lot easier for a woman to learn to understand men than it is for a man to understand women, or even for a woman to understand other women! – “Ice Cream in the Hand”

What a surprise; help people to deal with their problems, to respect others and do something constructive, and they tend to become peaceful, productive citizens after release. Cage them like animals and torture them into sociopathy, and they become more bestial and sociopathic. – “Torture Chamber”

Sending armed thugs to attack peaceful individuals because the “leaders” dislike their peaceful acts is, by definition, “violence as a way to achieve political goals”. And when “leaders” have done something for over a century, why is it a shock when their “followers” follow? – “Might Makes Right“

Usually, the personal is just personal, and declaring it to be political merely holds the door open for increasingly tyrannical intrusion into people’s private lives. – “Politicizing the Personal”

As long as the public accepts everything “authorities” say with the approximate degree of skepticism a toddler affords to the Tooth Fairy, this moral panic will be followed by an endless succession of others, each as absurd as the last. – “The Young and the Brainless”
