I know! I think the best column they had in that series was the cowboys. And as I remember, the bartenders weren't bad either.
They need to do "sex advice from bloggers." You and I should volunteer.
Just what the world needs, sex advice from the blogger who hasn't had sex in, holy jesus, just about a year. Anyway, lifeguards was pretty funny.
That's why you and I would be such a good pair. You know, like Washington state's proposed new sex ed law: all points of view represented here.
Good point. You should email the folks at Nerve and suggest it. If you say you'll participate, I bet they'd do it. sexadvicefrom@nerve.com
All right, I will.
But the picture will have to be of the back of my head.
That was a joke about the back/front issue. Keep up here.
Is there a name for posts that link to an article with specific instructions not to click through?
I am going to write to the people from the back page of the Atlantic Monthly with this one, if we can't think of anything.
It's probaby better not to include pictures even of your back, because some of us are pretty good at the deductive work from there. Rick a.k.a. Mr. Patrick from the article bears an uncanny resemblance to the frontman from that DJ-band Prodigy (sans makeup). "Come play my game, I'll test ya" should have been his answer to every question.
Wasn't it just one DJ plus the clown guy who sang and another guy and I'm not sure what he did? The technical term for that arrangement is "DJ-band."
ogged,
just about a year.
Seriously?
Dude.
As in 365 days???? :)
At least you haven't been dragged down into anything wet and messy, right?
See if I share with you people again. I didn't think a year was so horrible. I have a friend--a woman, something of a hottie, actually--who didn't have sex for 7 years, starting some time after college.
Ogged, I'm on your side here. I was about to say 'I got your back' but in context, and with these gutter-minded cretins...anyway. A year isn't so horrible. I'd take that over having sex with the wrong person, without a doubt.
Thank you, Labs, that's mighty decent of you. But if I get to day 729, I'm showing up on your doorstep.
I will agree with FL that it is better than sex with the wrong person.
I'm having a dry spell here, too (although not for lack of offers, just lack of interest in the wrong situations). But has only been a semester and a bit. I don't think I could last 7 years. I'm not sure I could last 1 year.
One semester is a dry spell? That's my refractory period.
I was trying to decide if there was anything supportive I could say that would not end up being worse in the end. Characteristically, I agree with FL. Nothing > the wrong thing.
One semester is a dry spell? That's my refractory period.
Then what are you complaining about?
If you're not complaining, then you won't mind us continuing to talk about it.
A YEAR?!? Jesus.
Hey -- at least May can be a fun month whether you have a partner or not.
Yeah, I think I can hold out until May.
I'm not sure I could last 1 year.
It purifies the soul, PG.
What if your soul is already plenty pure?
Anyway, I'm sure I've gone a year or more as an adult. At some point. And apparently I'm not scarred by it.
Actually, this surprised me:
Do have sex with her father in the next room, if you do it quietly, and if you're not down south.
Even up north I don't think it's a good idea to have sex with her father anywhere, let alone in the next room.
It's a quote from the article linked in the post. (The first person's answer to the sixth question.)
Note also that the post contains some evidence that Ogged uses 'earnest' in the same way that speakers of English do.
Right, I understand that. Are you just going back through the archives or something?
If you must know--after leaving this comment, I wanted to find the only thread with exactly 100 comments, so I searched for the phrase "twenty minutes"; which led me to this thread here; upon clicking the link I remarked the worst garden-path sentence ever and thought it should not go uncomemmorated.
All this is just killing time till that massive cocaine-fueled orgy I'm going to tonight, you know.
And I'm not quite sure how many 'm's there are in the word I have rendered as 'uncomemmorated'.
Did you happen to know that that thread had exactly 100 comments, or did you have some reason to believe that any thread with exactly 100 comments would include the phrase "twenty minutes"?
The former. I had e-mailed Ogged conceding defeat, and he had said "I think that's the only thread with exactly 100 comments."
Weiner's new search engine: 'twenty' + 'minutes' = 'hundred' + 'comments'; 'pleasant vacation spot' = 'mineshaft'; 'fourth of july' = 'search unfogged archives'.
It's googlicious!
I'm just surprised that what "wrong" could mean in, A year isn't so horrible. I'd take that over having sex with the wrong person, without a doubt went undebated. Assuming we've all had sex with people we're not still with, what makes it "wrong"? Does she (or he) have to be Apostropher's-ex-level crazy for it to be wrong? Or did FL mean something else?
