To have no talent is not enough. You gotta have a gimmick.

So what did it take… over 2000 years? But FINALLY the world's hottest virgin makes the cover of Mexican Playboy magazine. Model Maria Florencia Onori (who's undoubtedly a virgin herself… otherwise why choose her?) stars as the Virgin Mary, and after seeing a copy, God responded, "Dude… I'd totally tap that."

Study Reports Anal Sex on Rise Among Teens: Lack of Sex Education, Virginity Pledges, Ignorance Contribute to Risky Behavior

Carry—a Colorado college student who had been in a steady relationship for months—was recently cajoled by her boyfriend into some sexual experimentation.

He wanted to try anal sex, and even though the 20-year-old said she was "OK with the idea," she nervously downed several drinks before their lovemaking began.

Within 15 seconds, Carry — not her real name — said she was "crying and asking him to stop."

Recently, researchers at the Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Center in Rhode Island suggested that anal sex is on the rise among teens and young adults.... Experts say girls and young women like Carry are often persuaded to try [anal sex] for the wrong reasons—to please a partner, to have sex without the risk of pregnancy or to preserve their virginity. But many don't understand the health consequences.

Maybe if we had comprehensive sex education—which would cover anal and oral intercourse, and their risks and rewards—teenagers would better understand the health consequences of anal sex. As things stand now, though, even "good" sex education—good by American standards—ignores or glosses over anal intercourse.

Another note on ABC's story: it starts with the usual innocent-girl-pressured-into-anal-by-demanding-boyfriend horror story. But if you read it all the way to the end you'll learn that a lot of women are interested in anal intercourse for their own pleasure, not just for their partner's pleasure. Which makes the women-in-peril image ABC uses to illustrated the story...

...seem just a touch sensationalistic.

Ok, I kind of hate Diesel, but this clip made in honor of the company's recent anniversary is worth checking out, and it doesn't directly relate to jeans that you pay more for because they have been professionally trashed:

Thanks to Jonny Shultz for the tip!

Well, it looks like Hustler Video has finished at least the first minute of their new porno parody "Who's Nailin' Palin?" starring Lisa Ann as the vice presidential wannabe. Want to see it? Don't worry, this part is absolutely hilarious and safe for work -- that is if you don't mind horny Russians looking up the Alaskan governor's dress.

The New York Daily News reports today that although the rest of the country's jobs are slightly less than stable, the one profession seemingly unaffected by the economic crisis also happens to be the world's oldest. You got it: prostitution. Story here.

A couple of reactions to my column about Sarah Palin...

I am a straight 40 something Republican who enjoys reading your column. I never would have learned about things like pegging, donkey punching, or a myriad of other things if it wasn't for your enlightening columns. However, I grow tired of you tirades against the GOP. Can't you just stick with the kinky sex columns? Maybe you can start a political column? Then at least we know what we are in for. Your most recent column wasted half of your space just because you wanted to go off on Sarah Palin. You could have spent that time actually helping someone instead. How about it, a nice non-partison sex column?

Republican Who Reads Savage Love

Why can't GOP politicians stick to politics? Why must they legislate about sex? GOP politicians are clearly obsessed about sex -- kinky and otherwise -- so maybe they should all get kinky sex columns? But until that day comes, RWRSL, I'm going to keep going after the GOP from my platform. Because, you see, the GOP keeps going after our sex lives in their party platforms.

Once again I am amazed by the need for people such as yourself to interject your political views in a piece that clearly is not political in nature. The reason why so many people are getting so turned off by today's newspapers and press is because of such bias. We read columns such as yours for entertainment not for you political opinions.

But because you brought the subject up, you suggest that the choice of what to do in the event of an unplanned pregnancy should be left up to the teenager. A teenager who has not the wisdom, knowledge or life experience to fully understand the ramification of those decisions. I speak from experience. I had an abortion when I was 16 years old. I did not even question whether or not it was the right choice back then. I just reacted. It has been the "CHOICE" that has plagued me since. No one ever seems to mention the consequences that women experience after they choose an abortion. I have spoken to many, many other women who have made that similar "CHOICE" and have the same guilt and deep regret, especially now that we are parents and fully understand and appreciate the beauty of the life that grew within us. I have met many women who regret the "CHOICE" for an abortion that they made, I have yet to meet any who regret the decision that they made to keep their child.

P.

Women that choose abortion under duress -- financial or emotional duress -- or choose abortion impulsively or in ignorance of their other options are, of course, very likely to regret the decision that they made. But to then seek to deny other women the right to make the same "mistake" is, i believe, the wrong response. You should want to make sure all young women are educated about all their options -- in particular about open adoption, which allows a woman to stay involved in her child's life without having to assume the responsibilities of full-time parenting -- rather than seek to ban abortion. Even if abortion is illegal, women will still "choose" abortion. They'll just get unsafe, illegal abortions -- potentially fatal abortions.

I have spoken to many, many women that have had abortions and do not regret the choice that they made. I am, however, sorry for your pain.
