Following her logic to its obvious conclusion, saying “Not tonight I have a headache” is an act of foul murder!

That reminds me. I went to the Hammer Museum last week to see Robert Crumb’s illustrated book of Genesis. And it was great and I bought the book.

He devotes a few panels to Onan. I never thought I would see an R. Crumb drawing of Onan crawling off his brother’s wife to jerk it in the dirt. Actually, it’s done tastefully. The whole project is a triumph. Although as Crumb fans could guess, all the women of Genesis have big asses and prominent nipples.

If He has His hands in everything I certainly hope he washes frequently. I mean, ewwww.

I’ve never gotten this notion that wanking is a waste of my “essence” or a missed opportunity to procreate. When I wank it’s because there’s not a, hm…, a willing receptacle for my “essence.” My testacles understand this and have worked out an arrangement with me to accomodate this, kind of a “wank all you want, we’ll make more” understanding.

I read the fruit bat article. Fascinating stuff, especially the graphic, which, according to the caption is a “Vignette show[ing] a female performing fellatio, drawn by Mei Wang.”

Because the products of our human sexuality contain enormous power – power too many of us simply do not appreciate.

Gotta use this line… “Hey, baby, how about an infusion of powah!

Do you realize that masturbation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

Also, I first became aware of this during the physical act of love…Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily, I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake…but I do deny them my essence.

Actually, I have to agree with the Anchoress just a little bit.

I do think that human life is sacred, and I do agree that sperm and ova are special, with a special relationship to life, though they are not human life in and of themselves.

Just as a human organ harvested for transplant, or a cadaver part preserved for study, or an ancient mummy, or a corpse on its way to cremation or burial, is not just some random hunk of stuff, and ought to be treated with a degree of solemn reverence.

Nothing like the degree of solemn reverence, bordering on idolatry, that the Cenobiteme would prefer, but some.

It is the usual “sit on your ass and let God, our pet bitch, handle our lives for us.”

I never did understand why religious leaders would teach such utter laziness and irresponsibilty. Seemed pretty disresepctful to me have treat God like he’s some kind of servant to lazy children. The forever nanny. lol

i’m a little late to the party, but i’m checking in as another church goer who approves of the mockery of all things sacred, or whatever, if by “all things sacred” we mean the anchoress’s deep thoughts on the inevitability of conception/importance of ensuring conception (what?)

This is from the same cult that felt the need to have an awning over the baths in the nunneries so that Gawd did not catch sight of their nekidness.

Andy Partridge and XTC are not internet traditions of which Center Left Grrl is aware ™. She is the kind of punk-rock grrl who knows how to show Respect for Tradition.

Lolly said,
“How many people do you know who used the pill, used a condom, were diligent in their birth control and STILL got pregnant?”

If you take antibiotics while you’re on the pill the pill doesn’t work. Many women don’t know that, and that’s how one of my nieces was conceived.

the “tools” or “materials” that He uses for that creation … do, simply by their designation as “tools of God” demand a certain respect and recognition

In the “I see what you did there” category, we find that Sister Mary Pugnacious has by lengthy theological research and mighty syntactical labors produced the “because I said so” argument.

if your baby is meant to be born, he will be born by the mighty power of Creation. If that means sperm with wings, power drills, and enough supplies in the camper to wait out the spermicide, then it is God’s Will.

I’m not sure I’d want to be in a dark alley with the spermies that get past the vas. Thankfullly, none of mine are that clever.

I think the many “r’s” being a signifier of girrrrrrrrrrl power went out about 10 years ago.

God, get your hands out of my vagina. I’m about to yell “stranger danger.”

Oh, and the fruit bat thing? Not all it’s cracked up to be, once you get over the novelty factor. Some things just don’t end well when you’re upside down. Trust me on this.
