DAILY SHVITZ
Hetero Ass Sex

"Thirtyish academic wishes to meet woman who's interested in Mozart, James Joyce and sodomy." Woody Allen more or less got it right decades ahead of it not feeling so wrong anymore. Though now it's not just the cognoscenti grabbing ankles:

The survey, released last year, showed that 38.2 percent of men between 20 and 39 and 32.6 percent of women ages 18 to 44 engage in heterosexual anal sex. Compare that with the CDC’s 1992 National Health and Social Life survey, which found that only 25.6 percent of men 18 to 59 and 20.4 percent of women 18 to 59 indulged in it.

But have you read Toni Bentley's The Surrender? Is the question. That I'm asking.

Apparently, anal sex is more frequent among older, married couples, which only reaffirms my take on hazards of early marriage. Oh, and now more men are getting rectum-rammed -- or "pegged" -- by their all-too-willing female penetrators and claiming the act wards off prostate cancer. So does Propecia and you might actually grow hair with that.

Where was this content when I guest-edited Wonkette and might have kept my first (paid) blogging job?

Oh Michael,

Don't feel too bad about ND. Been there, done that...in Jason Calacanis' wet dreams.

Yasher koakh to you, my man. All the honor is yours. What a post.

I haven't read The Surrender. I should probably be titillated by the idea of a book about a crazy anal sex ballerina, but it sounds tedious. I've only read two crazy sex lady books, one fiction (The Story of O), and one non (The Sexual Life of Catherine M.). My conclusion, based on those two books, is that female authors shouldn't waste their time trying to write about sex. When they do, they produce something both mentally unhinged and strangely boring.

I admit that my sample size of two women is a bit limited to be making these kinds of slashing generalizations, and I guess I'm also talking specifically about the full-on crazy sex lady genre, as opposed to female authors of more generalized interests who just include a bit of the stuff here and a bit there. But to be honest, off the top of my head I can't think of any female author who really took to the game.

More good information: when the Wikipedia article on "pegging" was first created some time ago, it was quickly identified by Wikipedia administrators as unusually well-written, dispassionate, informative, and conscientiously footnoted. Many Wikipedia articles fit this description, but not usually when they're first written. Brand new articles that do meet solid standards are featured on the front page in a section titled "Did You Know?", where the best of Wikipedia's new articles are actively promoted to the millions of visitors to the site. All hell broke loose over whether the term "pegging" should be placed on the main page alongside a particularly fetching and well-shot photograph of a strap-on dildo. The "Wikipedia is not censored" brigade won the argument; over a period of some few days, every young visitor to the site was introduced to pegging and strap-ons. And yet would Wikipedia put Goatse on its main page? I doubt it. Web 2.0 anarchism still has its limits. But at least they published the Muhammad cartoons.

As for whether pegging reduces risk of prostate cancer, I don't know why there need be any uncertainty about this, surely a randomized controlled trial could sort that out quickly enough. How 'bout it, science?

According to Riordan's and Prochnicky's [[http://www.amazon.com/Break-Through-Life-Death-Morrison/dp/0688119158/sr=1-1/qid=1167877914/ref=sr_1_1/102-7814448-4598529?ie=UTF8&s=books|Jim Morrison biography]], which I recently read, the Lizard King preferred hetero fudge-packing, much to girlfriend Pamela Courson's consternation. Presumably this explains his fondness for performing the Willie Dixon song which is this comment's title.
