Young sexuality is different now than it was a generation ago, and probably a generation before that…it goes on. Not as different as we imagine it to be, but the terms of sexual engagement among young people are changing, especially around the world.

@funnyface:
Yeah, supposedly women have bisexual/bilateral arousal patterns in our brains. But apparently we also get wet at the first mention of sex, whether or not we like the person. The big lab coats thinks its to help protect our vages in case of forcible intercourse. I totally read all the lab coat reports about vages.

"Even ass licking isn't a fetish, it's spiritual." And more wisdom from Mystery in his interview at Jezebel. (I haven't even mentioned my obsession with VH1's Pick-Up Artist here yet.)

Penetrating the Mystery: The inimtable Moe Tkacik ended up on the phone with Eric Von Markovic, the guy-lined weirdmachine known as "Mystery" on VH1's The Pick-Up Artist. Mystery ain't much for area codes or the names of Live songs, but as far as discourse on other topics...

Mystery sez:

"Any man can de-gay a girl when she realizes he's just a spirit and they're both spirits and it has nothing to do with the boy-girl dynamic thing."

Or penises in your Mysterious Ladyparts, either!

I foresee the shuttering of a great many so-called "rape crisis centers." Because all them rapists? Just spirits. Not any kind of bad non-consensual criminal kind of boy-girl dynamic thingy.

@embobly and @smackdown: since I inserted myself in here, and more comments happened while I posted my last, second the cold alcohol too! I don't usually get involved in online drama, I'm simply sensitive on the Canadian issue because my husband, who is the world's sweetest man, (and possessed of a great sense of humor) is Canadian and it hurts me when people who think they're "just joking" hurt his feelings by dissing his home without even thinking about it. smackdown, I'm sure you meant absolutely no harm and I'm not trying to call you out or embarrass you, this is just a conversational tendency of so many people and its ubiquity bums me out.

Yep. Canadians. So insidious. They look just like you and me, but then they're talking and mention they dropped out at "grade ten" and next thing you know, they're juggling and telling you about how magic is a real passion of theirs and they have read every single Anne McCaffrey Dragon book ever written and then you have to curbmouth them just to do the world a favor.

Beaver-worshiping lumber monkeys. If North America was a high school class, the US would be putting on its lipstick and pretending to ignore Mexico, who keeps coming in late to class and not giving a fuck and smelling like cigarette smoke while Canada is the hall monitor and smells like he peed his pants.

Questions Moe should have asked but did not:

2. Do those goggles have some kind of scientific purpose in addition to their accessorial purpose?

3. Do you apply the temporary kiss tattoo to your own neck or do you allow J-Dogg and Matador to take turns doing it for you?

4. Do you guy those stovepipes with the turkey feathers already affixed, or do you hot glue them yourself?

5. Medallions? What the fuck?

I think that may apply here, as well.

And Mystery should do well out here in LA--lots of insecure hot chicks with lots of plastic surgery. The downside is that he'll have plenty of competition because most guys out here neg. Becuase they're cocksuckers.

As far as all women being bisexual, but all men are not... I feel like this may have something to do with women's bodies being sexualized to such an extent that even women have fallen for it.

@Jerseylicious: I second that on the Bea Arthur show, when ever I play "Kill, Marry, F*" with my guy friends, I always throw in Bea Arthur, I have yet to discover a combination in which Bea doesn't get killed first off, its become a mission

That was actually my co-workers and I who called in at the end of this interview! First of all I would like to say that I am NOT African American Doctor Doolittle. Secondly, my co-worker is the guy who said "646 is New York" and agreed that women from DC are smarter (which we don't agree with since we are in NY, obviously)...but I heard a woman conferenced in when I called and assumed it was his friend...I didn't realize he was in the middle of an interview - hahaha! We called back right after and he was in his car with a bunch of his equally amazing friends babbling about some new show and how it's about self-awareness or some garbage...but we of course will continue to call him until we are tired of him being a complete tool. That will probably be never.

As a New Yorker I'm kind of proud he doesn't like our city and doesn't know our area code. As for the too much humanity thing, is that code for pasty and fat in the winter. I'll take my unattractive months over LA traffic and plastic boobs any day.

@stacyinbean: Um...I once had a creepy blogger find me on myspace and ask me why I didn't tell him I was hot the one time I emailed him about music.

Also, I live in LA and I thought 212 and 646 were both NYC. Is that accurate?

So he likes Live, Tool, Carl Sagan, and the word spiritual. Maybe he should change his name to Live Tool in honor of his two favorite bands. And when girls give him their number and the area code is 818, he yells, "Hey, you're from Calgary!"

Also, I think he left NY because "targets" here don't fall for that shit.

@far-far: How can he not know 212 is New York? "My New York days are over." Ummm, I'm guessing they never started. I've spent a total of 14 days in New York in my entire life, and I still know the fuckin area codes. If he still lives in 1995, which I'm assuming he does, that one song by 2 Skinee J's or whatever was still out around that time, so there's no excuse for this poseur..

The thing about the time when a girl is on her period being "blow job week" really grinds my gears.

Because, you know, it's his girlfriend's fault that she's bleeding and cramped up and bloated, and she owes it to him to keep him sexually gratified while she's in that state.

It's called a towel. Use it.
