- Northwestern University human sexuality class has live demonstration by a kinky couple (we’d feel better about that if the guy had been naked too and hadn’t been wielding a modified power tool).
- HuffPo has a DOMA “for Dummies” rundown.
- Egads: half of US men have HPV!
- Along with consensual sex within an adult, monogamous, committed relationship, here’s a bunch of other things the BYY honor code forbids.
- Feel better about the time you waste on Facebook: One study suggests that looking at your FB account boosts your self-esteem more than looking in the mirror.
- In other Facebook news, that awesome app that notifies you when any of your crush’s relationship statuses turn to “single” has been banned.
- Stupid and cheap: The Creation Museum denies access to a same-sex couple – and doesn’t refund ticket!

No one hated the self esteem movement more than George Carlin, and he took great pleasure in watching it crash and burn. I wish he was still around to hear his rant about Facebook.

I usually have no problem with sexual openness. A good University is a place for adults to learn things they may not already know.
However, MOST sex toy users do NOT use a reciprocating saw in their bedrooms or even at the local BDSM club. What the heck was that doing in a Sex Class? It is not a normal use of a sex toy, and I think it gave the wrong idea of “what people who use sex toys do.”
My Man and I are avid sex toy aficionados, yet we have never brought an auto shop power tool into the bedroom.
What would have been wrong with a nice Fun Factory vibrator or a Hitachi? Hell, even the Wahl 2 Speed (which nearly looks like a power tool) would have been a workable alternative.
This stunt has put the acceptance of sex toys by the general public back 2 decades. I am really disappointed by Northwestern.
