“The exhausted poststructuralism pervading American universities is abject...”
– Camille Paglia, from her excellent new essay on how academia distorts and dilutes sex and kink. In it, she also says, rightly, ”…natural voices (about sex and kink) have been squelched by the dreary protocols of gender studies.”

Questions from a Straight Guy: Locker Room...
Patrick: Do you check us out in the locker room?
Me: Do you check each other out?
Patrick:
Patrick: Answer the question.
Me: If you're in my line of sight, I'm not going to close my eyes. Same with peripheral vision. Otherwise, I'm just going to maintain eye contact or, in the showers, just look at the wall or my feet.
Patrick: How do you not get a boner?
Me: I've known you idiots my entire life. It's not like I'm going to suddenly get off on you now. Plus, it's all mental. I just think, "This is not the place for that."
Patrick: I keep expecting you to get hard.
Me: So, while I'm not looking at your dick, you can't take your eyes off of mine.
Patrick: Well, when you put it THAT way...
Me: If you were in a locker room with a group of women, wouldn't you be able to control yourself?
Patrick: I wouldn't last five seconds.
Me: It takes years of practice to not be creepy.
- I'm sorry, but this is a bunch of total bulllllshit - OF COURSE we're checking you out, straight guys, duh. Anyone who says he's not is promoting a desexualized lie. Ya-hey.
