This is because the feminist forces that be are dominated by the likes of Andrea Dworkin, who believe that all hetero sex is rape. This wouldn’t be so bad, I guess, if they weren’t also against rape.

Hahahahah! Alec, keep your sense of humor buddy.

I consider Aristotle's worldview in my approach to naked love. I guess I should explain what I mean by that...

It comes down to taking a long-term view of what you are and what to do. Sex feels really really really really really really really good physiologically; even under less than ideal circumstances. At its best, it demands the highest respect, no, the highest love for the other person involved.

Like Aristotle's acorns and oak trees, the development of our character demands that we are in a healthy environment. A sexual relationship is as close as close gets. Of course, some people can perform mental gymnastics and convince themselves that a sexual relationship is just about sex. Reality always has a way of stepping in and wreaking havoc on such people.

It's terribly sad, Alec, that the world out there is the sordid mess you describe. The Aristotelian approach only works when Aristotelian babes are around.

Am glad you mentioned that - 'politics is force'.... to be more precise, politics is 'the art and science of coercion', and it has always been thus - it is born of by and for the zero-sum crowd, which is tribal in nature ..... and thus it affects sex, which is by its nature an individualistic aptitude than tribal.

Ergo such heinous contradictions as the fact that, when your lover fucks you in the ass, it’s called sodomy—yet when the government fucks you in the ass, it’s called “public service.”
Great job, Alec. But that last sentence should have read,
.... it's called "public service" (as in "public servants service the public.")

Your article totally cracked me up. Thanks!

This seems like a great way to deliver a message of laissez-faire in a newspaper to a general audience. Great work.

...and not in the way that paper can be delightfully warm when fresh out of a Hewlett-Packard.
I'm glad to see that someone shares my paper fetish! We must resist the prudish glares of those in the library who do not share our passions for pressing printed paper against our foreheads on a particularly cold morning while inhaling the sweet aroma of newly dried ink!

Wonderfully written!

Adam,

You have no idea just how much your comment means to me. To know that I influenced even one person...well, that makes it all worthwhile.   

;-)
