The federal government says it has no choice but to reluctantly keep distributing to millions of waterfowl hunters a toll-free phone-sex-service number that features a breathy woman promising callers that they can "talk only to the girls who turn you on" for $1.99 per minute. About 3.5 million federal "duck stamps," featuring artwork by a Plymouth artist, are affixed to a card that bears the misprinted number, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Wednesday. The correct number, 1-800-STAMP24 (1-800-782-6724), is for people wishing to order additional duck stamps. Levin said two digits of the phone number are transposed on the card that holds the self-adhesive version of the stamp. That incorrect number, 1-800-872-6724, translates to 1-800-TRAMP24. Callers to "Intimate Connections" are warned that they must be 18 years or older before proceeding. Sounds like a bonanza for whoever owns the phone sex line. There's probably substantial overlap between duck hunters and phone sex wankers.
On one side are experts who say people can be addicted to sex or pornography, just like alcohol or cocaine. To curb the compulsion, some therapists treat the condition with programs such as Sexaholics Anonymous. "I think everyone has known someone with a sex addiction," says Doris Vincent, a psychologist with Edmonton's Recovery Path Counselling Services, which offers 12-step programs for sex addicts and their partners. She defines sexual addiction as "sexual behaviour that you cannot control despite negative consequences," including addictions to pornography, masturbation or massage parlours. But others say diagnosis of the condition is a pseudoscience. "I don't believe in sex addiction," says David McKenzie, a Vancouver sex therapist who is among those who say the term "addiction" is misleading. They are backed by the American Psychiatric Association, which publishes the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the clinical bible for psychiatrists and psychologists in Canada and the United States. Sexual addiction is not included in the manual's list of recognized conditions. "It's not in there because so-called sex addiction doesn't follow the usual characteristics of what we think an addiction is," said Paul Fedoroff, a psychiatrist and head of the Sexual Behaviours Clinic at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. Those characteristics include dependence on an external substance, an increasing tolerance for that substance, and withdrawal when it's removed, he said. "If we start talking about sex addiction, we also have to talk about addiction to [other behaviours] like sleep, or eating, or breathing," Dr. Fedoroff said. Mark me down for "pseudoscience". People can act compulsively and self-destructively in myriad ways, but that's not the same thing as "addiction". Wednesday, September 3, 2008
I would totally get it hard and beep a horn with it. I would have sex with every woman I possibly could, to see how it felt physically and to see how it felt emotionally to be a total man-whore. Part of me would want to be kicked in the balls, just to see why guys act like such wimps about it. I would pee standing up, in public, just because I could. I wouldn’t be able to resist getting it hard then taping a paintbrush to it and painting a penis picture. That last idea has honestly never occurred to me. I'll have to try that. (Thanks, Susannah!)

On average, 425 posts on Craiglist's "Casual Encounters" area appeared on the first three Sundays in August. But this Sunday, when tens of thousands of people had arrived for the convention, 763 posts appeared--an 80 percent increase. The general content is what you might expect. Posts suggested "Here 4 DNC? Come get sexual with me"; "Does the DNC make you hot?"; and "Looking to service a young Democrat." McCullagh calls this "an unusual phenomenon". Really? You wouldn't have expected that a massive convention would lead area prostitutes to ramp up their advertising? This strikes me as a very usual phenomenon. McCullagh promises, "And yes, we'll be paying attention to what happens during the Republican convention as well." Anyone wanting to run their own survey, or looking to service a young Republican, can check out the Minneapolis/St. Paul Craigslist casual encounters section. Sunday, August 31, 2008
A disgusting and twisted restaurant in the Tokyo entertainment district of Roppongi is enticing warped rich folk with the opportunity to figuratively have their cake and eat it, too — with animals, according to Jitsuwa Knuckles (9/25). Roppongi’s bestiality restaurant is being regarded by its main nouveau riche patronage of young company presidents and venture capitalists as a decadent practice only possible among the wealthy. “Apparently, the restaurant started off quietly in the basement of a building that a real estate agent in Roppongi who couldn’t find any other tenants,” an S&M club worker identified only as M tells Jitsuwa Knuckles. “News about the restaurant spread through word of mouth and it became popular.” M says she visited the members-only restaurant about half a year ago after being invited there by one of her regulars, a well-heeled lawyer. At first glance, the first floor restaurant appears fairly nondescript. When a customer goes in, they give their name to a receptionist. When they are approved, they pass through a wooden door to be greeted by another door, this one made of metal. Passing a membership card over a scanner outside the door will automatically open it. Inside is an eatery that resembles just about any other Italian restaurant. Membership in the restaurant is open only to those with an annual salary of at least 20 million yen, and a minimum cash flow of 100 million yen. “After we got into the main restaurant, an employee escorted us down to the basement,” M says. “The walls were pitch black and the floor covered in a blood red carpet, so I guess the place must be a refurbished S&M club.” Once the customer feels prepared, they will be presented with beast of their choice. In the lawyer’s case, it was a sow. “I’d been told what to expect, but when I actually saw what was happening, it was as shocking as you’d imagine it to be,” M tells Jitsuwa Knuckles. “Later, the lawyer told me the appeal of the place just came about because when people have got money and done everything else, they turn toward bestiality.” Once the lawyer had finished porking the pig, the couple returned to the first floor and sat at a table to dine. M says she was totally shocked when staff members carried in roast pork — made of the same sow the lawyer had earlier been with. “I was about to vomit,” M says. “It was the same pig that had been squealing just moments before. Now, it had been roasted whole. I managed to avoid eating it by only having salad.” Incidentally, prices range from 200,000 yen to 500,000 yen for a chicken, dogs cost somewhere between 300,000 yen and 800,000 yen, while pigs and goats start at around 800,000 yen. Charges are higher depending on whether the creature is female and how active it is. “The owner says he is prepared to cook up any kind of animal at all,” M tells Jitsuwa Knuckles. “He even said he’d prepare elephants … but I think he might have been joking about that.” One of Mainichi's grovelling apologies singled out this story for censure for "describing abnormal sexual preferences". No argument there. (Text courtesy of the excellent Wai Wai archive at stippy.com.) |
