Instant Sex

How could I possibly pass up an article called “Instant Sex“? Even if it does appear in the Weekly Standard and even if it is written by that burning hunk o’manlove David Gelernter, certainly “Instant Sex” had to be worth a read. Sadly, no. I probably should have realized that in the pages of the Weekly Standard instant sex would, like international diplomacy, civil rights, habeas corpus and social security, be a really bad thing.
Now why instant sex is so awful is something Gelernter doesn’t fully explain, probably because instant sex is something that, for a variety of reasons, he hasn’t ever experienced first-hand (unless you count his own hand.) So Gelernter resorts to some staggeringly awful metaphors:
Instant sex and romantic love can’t coexist any more than hurricanes and forest fires. One drives out the other.
Hey, but what if the hurricane is romantic love and the forest fire is the instant sex? Then the instant sex doesn’t destroy the romantic love, does it? I bet Gelernter didn’t think of that.
But the wingnutaphors have just started:
Why can’t they coexist? Because, just as green leaves transform sunlight to useful energy in a process called photosynthesis, human beings transform longing for an adored object into a heightened state of consciousness in a process called falling in love.
I’m sorry but comparing love to photosynthesis is, well, just icky. It’s like comparing romantic love to, say, fungal anastomosis. Ewww. Given the choice between instant sex and photosynthesis, I think I’ll pick the instant sex.
Thwarted sexual desire is nearly as necessary to young people as food and shelter.
That sounds to me like a desperate rationalization of an unhappy adolescence, but even if its true, I suppose that means you can start the instant sex business at age 35 or so. Yippee!
Premarital, premature sex drains the power reserve that would have propelled them into emotional (versus mere physical) adulthood.
And it makes you grow hair on your hands, lose track meets, and go blind, not necessarily in that order.
Now THERE is a man that lost his virginity in his 30s.
So why the the Intelligent Designer make us so horny when we were teenagers? I don’t get it.
Premature sex? I’ve had a lot of sex, and I’m telling you none if was premature. Now Premature Endings For Sex might be another story, of which I’m reminded of on a regular basis..
Typical wingnut: “My personal feelings are NOT my personal feeling. They are God’s Immutable Laws! I deny that what you claim about your sexual experiences can be true because what you claim is IMPOSSIBLE according to God’s Immutable Laws!!”
Jerk.
Good God almighty. Gelernter is a walking advertisement for the need for mandatory fact based sex ed classes in the public schools. “Falling in love” is in fact a biochemical response promoting short-term (ca. 4 years) pair bonding between men and women to provide assistance to females with young. Based on primate models, this process is probably facilitated and promoted by casual sex. Thwarted sexual desire has not been shown scientifically to produce any socially or psychologically beneficial effect, but is strongly implicated in a wide array of psychosexual dystopic behaviors (see sex scandals, Republican).
Random idiot – I will give you odds he still hasn’t lost it.
“Premarital, premature sex drains the power reserve …”
Don’t forget our bodily essences.
Only forest fires can prevent hurricanes.
Ugh. Like I wasn’t depressed enough before, now we get to talk about all that great sex that everybody else is getting.
What’s a girl got to do to get a few dates with a smart, funny, politically astute and progressive guy? Sheesh.
References to Prof Gelertner’s having sex with his hand are perhaps unfortunate.
Compare and contrast:
Gelertner’s primary concern is that Premarital, premature sex drains the power reserve that would have propelled them into emotional (versus mere physical) adulthood.
General Ripper’s primary concern is his assertion that water fluoridation is ‘a Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids,’ of which he was made aware when his ‘loss of essence’ during sexual intercourse greatly fatigued him. He continues to explain that women ‘seek the life essence’ and then states, ‘I do not avoid women…but I do deny them my essence’. (wikipedia)
Ahhh, Gundamhead beat me to it.
Gelernter: “[Picasso’s] girlfriend and sexual partner Eva Gouel” (emphasis mine).
Man, that Picasso, what a lucky guy! His girlfriend actually had sex with him?
“human beings transform longing for an adored object into a heightened state of consciousness in a process called falling in love.”
The Stupid is strong with this one.
“an adored object” is not the issue. Once the object is “adored,” the process of “falling in love” is a fait accompli. What he means is “a desired object.”
This is the sexual theory of a repressed 14-year old reassuring himself that his inability to score with chicks makes him morally superior. It’s also the Theory on Love from a techno-geek who has apparently never had an actual sexual or love relationship, never read a decent novel about emotions, and (as was noted above) is unaware of the fact that there’s a difference between his subjective, paltry experience, and the larger reality of the rest of the human race.
What a complete and total maroon. Harsh words, yes. And I meant them sting.
Asked my daddy when I was thirteen
Daddy can you tell me what love really means?
His eyes went glassy, not a word was said
He poured another beer and his face turned red
Asked my mother, she acted the same
She never looked up, she seemed so ashamed
Asked my teacher, he reached for the cane
He said, don’t mention that subject again
So I read about love-read it in a magazine
Read about love-Cosmo and Seventeen
Read about love-In the back of a
Hustler, Hustler, Hustler
So I-know what makes girls sigh
And I-know why girls cry
So don’t tell me I don’t understand
What makes a woman and what makes a man
I’ve never been to heaven but at lest
I’ve read about love
My big brother told me when I was fourteen
it’s time I showed you what love really means
Girls like kissing and romance too
But a boy’s got to know what a man’s got to do
He gave me a book, the cover was plain
Written by a doctor with a German name
It had glossy pictures, serious stuff
I readd it seven times, then I knew it well enough
Read about love-now I’ve got you
Read about love-where I want you
Read about love-got you on the
test-bed, test-bed, test-bed
So why-don’t you moan and sigh
Why-do you sit there and cry?
I do everything I’m supposed to do
If something’s wrong, then it must be you
I know the ways of a woman
I’ve read about love
When I touch you there it’s supposed to feel nice
That’s what it said in reader’s advice
I’ve never been to heaven but at least
I’ve read about love
John Sundman: As far as I know, people have two hands.
“adored OBJECT”
If he actually had an adored object that wasn’t inanimate, he would have got a well deserved slap for that description.
His entire article is heavy on quotations from stodgy literature written by the sexually repressed, and short on any actual discussion of human nature and desires.
I think the last thing he wants to do is acknowledge that the women he lusts after are human beings with their own wants, desires, and feelings, instead of being merely a convenient plot device in the story of his life.
Shalom gentelmen.
The bottom line is, God intended sex to be between one man and one woman in the bonds of marriage. Premarital sex is a sin against God.

Dr. Dick, you MUST click to this link:

oops. above RT posting was gbear. Saul, you need to go look at it too.
This is pretty much how I felt with respect to sex from my late teens through a good portion of my 20s. While I understand that it isn’t always in one’s interest to have sex whenever one wants it, i.e., when there’s too great a potential for emotional fallout, STIs, etc., thwarted sexual desire as a general circumstance sucks. And not in a good way.
Ahm, haha, instant sex? Like Ovaltine or something? The hell?
I think this is one of those type of deals where having the kind of mind that would think up a phrase like that renders it dead fucking certain that you will never get any of the thing the phrase itself is meant to describe.
That is just one piece of a news program that was taken out of context without any substance. What is the context? We don’t know because the full story isn’t there. However I can assure you that if Niel Cavuto or anyone else on Fox News promoted something as evil as sex with children they would be fired in two seconds flat.
gbear–
Don’t waste your electrons on “Saul.” He’s still addressing us as “gentlemen” when some of the most active and vigorous commenters here are women.
Better he should go practice the Orthodox Jewish prayer thanking God (or “G-d”) that he wasn’t born a woman.
This man is literally living in a fantasy world.. He seems to honestly believe that his fictional anecdotes somehow trump the actual experiences of living, breathing human beings. He writes 3000 words on love and he can’t muster a single example that involves real people.
Buhduhbuhduhbuhduh teh stoopid it buUuUuUuUuUuUurnsss!
They just knew better back then. The fact that birth control pills didn’t fucking exist is immaterial. Pity the poor modern woman! She has to make the best of simply having the power to decide her own destiny, own land, vote, and choose her lovers, rather than the real power that comes with holding out on the sex. Which simply doesn’t happen nowadays, nosirree.
That’s right kids, when you love somebody who doesn’t love you back, all you have to do is love harder for a few years, and you’ll get the girl! It must be true because a novelist said so. This is good news for the stalkers of the world!
Presented without comment.
Yes, that classic paeon to the inherent goodness of intense but chaste young love, The Tradgedy of Romeo and Juliet. Surely the moral of a story in which such love leads to mass death is that romantic love is AWESOME DUDE!
Saul, you wouldn’t be saying that if it had been anywhere other than Fox. Ha!
Or tragedy. Whatever.
That picture killed my sex drive.
Good lord. I have NEVER been so glad to have spent the seventies rambling around the west coast as a young man. I had at least a collective YEAR of sex with near-perfect strangers. It was a joy, everybody had a great time, and while every now and then you needed to get treatment for your occasional, er, illness, everybody’s emotional health was pretty damn good.
Well, except for mine. But that’s a whole ‘nother kettle of fish.
mikey
Y’know, I’ve been using that expression “kettle of fish” all weekend.
It’s crackin me up…
what we really want is a can of worms.
Saul: The bottom line is, God intended sex to be between one man and one woman in the bonds of marriage. Premarital sex is a sin against God.
Is it very clear what does Bible regard as a Good Thing? Is warming the bed of a succesful leader (say, king David) an OK occupation for a young unmarried woman? In a most puzzling passage, two Messengers of God, very comely in appearance, visit Lot in the town of Sodom. Wicked neighbors wanted to rape the Messengers, so Lot, and he was The Only Just Man in Sodom, offered them his daughter.
So: would following her father wishes be a good thing?
Mind you, a similar scene is repeated once more in the Bible, when a priest from the tribe of Judah stopped for a night in a village that belonged to the tribe of Benjamin. The virtuous man travelled with his concubine. A most confusing narrative follows (hence a scene with a host offering his daugher to wicked neighbors who were, this time, heterosexual, but inexusably picky) but let us stop there. A virtuous priest of the tribe of Judah travelled with his concubine…
That’s the funniest fucking thing I’ve heard come out of a typically sexually unattractive conservative’s mouth in years. “My teen years didn’t suck! They were good for me!”
Gerlertner used to be a regular on the Los Angeles Times opinion page. And I used to read him with a mix of amusement and disgust and – at times – disbelief that someone could be such a nitwit and then express shock and surprise that people – those mean, uncivil liberals – were making fun of him.
It was the same mixture of emotions that I now feel when I read Jonah Goldberg – who, I believe, ended up taking Gelertner’s “really dumb conservative” spot in the Times. (They kept Max Boot in the “incoherent babbler conservative” spot that Bill O’Reilly fills on Fox.)
I remember writing a letter to the editor about how the Los Angeles Times was proving its liberal bias by choosing the stupidest conservative columnists (and Mallard Fillmore) to make conservatives look shallow and delusional. They didn’t print it.
So, yeah, Gelertner’s a nitiwt. I haven’t read him since they kicked him out of the Times. But this post is a great reminder of why I’m glad I never had to take a computer science class at Yale.
Gelertner is so bad that Saul is a step up in the smarts department.
Shalom, Saul!
I notice you didn’t say “unmarried…”
*waggles eyebrows*
Keep that up, and I’ll ask your wife out on a date!
*grin*
Can I trade in a kettle of fish for a barrel of monkeys?
The bottom line is, God intended sex to be between one man and one woman in the bonds of marriage.
Right. And there are so many accounts in the Bible that reinforce this message. Oh. Wait….
If God didn’t want us to have instant sex, then why did he make women out of vagina?
The line* forms to the left.
* For asking, mind you. [And if I’d used the first comeback that came to mind, I’d be risking my pro-feminist credentials…]
I think it’s more like, Love is like oxygen
I’m too old for instant sex. I have to cook for at least 5 minutes now.
Based on Saul’s comments, I’m starting to think he’s a bottom.
If my teen years are any guide there was as much thwarted sexual desire as the unthwarted kind.
The bottom line is, teens want to screw, they just don’t get to screw everyone they want to screw and the fact is pretending that there has ever been a time when people wanted to screw and didn’t is kind of like believing in unicorns.
And lookee here:
Too much thwarting might lead to other premature events.
It’s just never been the case, at least in the last 100 years in this country, that young men abstained or were expected to abstain. Occasionally male chastity has been lauded as a virtue, but men have never been stigmatized or ostracized for not observing it. The rules have only changed for women.
There’s a funny exchange recorded in Emerson’s journals between Emerson and Dickens on the topic of “male chastity”:
There’s nothing un-pro-feminist about watching. Honestly!
I just wish I knew what Republicans had against enjoying themselves. Even eating ice cream cones is suspect to them.
kth, marvelous post.
I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life,
Somewhere to place affection, but I didn’t want a wife.
And then by lucky chance I saw in a special magazine
An ad. that was unusual, the like I’d never seen,
“Experience something different with our new imported toy,
She’s loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy.”
She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown.
I concur, by the way, with those who are saying that Gelernterjwer’s thesis is untrue and, in fact, literally the opposite of true. Thwarted sexual desire, when it’s a result of a messed-up worldview about sex (viz evangelical households, not lack of savoir-faire), is, in my layman’s opinion, incredibly damaging and idiots like Geroffmefer are really trying to fuck up our future generations.
From my own experience, the most important relationships and loves in a young man’s life, are NOT the sexual ones.
Your love for your parents growing past the child-adult relationship, and becoming a relationship between adults.. That is a hugely important one.
Learning that brotherly love isn’t just for blood relations, and that devoted friends can be a powerful source of emotional support for life, and learning how to feed those relationships so they last.
And of course.. Learning that a female friend can be a brother too.. regardless of whether or not you fancy her. That is a crucial thing to learn.
But.. Some people (like the author of that sanctimonious piece) suffer from sexual frustration, and/or a sheer obsession with sex that distracts them from dealing with those issues, which are so much MORE important than just getting laid. Frustrated virgins raise their expectations of what sex and love are like to totally unrealistic levels, so that when they finally do get laid, the disappointment is crushing. They remain unable to untangle confused feelings of lust from the endorphins and other emotional reactions of having a crush, and the friendship and quiet devotion of a more concrete and lasting kind of love.
If meaningless sex takes the pressure off, and lets someone relax a bit, and see what is really important in life and love, then I am all for it. Aside from being enjoyable, it can potentially really help a persons long term emotional stability and personal growth, if it helps them sort out the difference between love and lust.
Saul: The bottom line is, God intended sex to be between one man and one woman in the bonds of marriage. Premarital sex is a sin against God.
What’s God got to do, got to do with it?
How about being a total niwit and abusing the rational faculties God gave you? Is that a sin against God?
Pictures Of Lily
I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad
He said, son now here’s some little something
And stuck them on my wall
And now my nights ain’t quite so lonely
In fact I, I don’t feel bad at all
I don’t feel bad at all
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
Pictures of Lily solved my childhood problems
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright
Pictures of Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Lily, oh Lily
Pictures of Lily
And then one day things weren’t quite so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, son, now don’t be so silly
She’s been dead since 1929
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I’d been born in Lily’s time
It would have been alright
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
For me and Lily are together in my dreams
And I ask you, hey mister, have you seen Pictures of Lily?
Hilarious! “Son, are you ok?”
Re:
Delaying sexual activity may “create health risks by impeding development of the emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal skills that are crucial to satisfactory sexual functioning and general well-being,” they add.
To be fair, the article raises the possibility that the causality is reverse. If so, then graduating from highschool with virginity intact does not predict much, except being less prone to get STD. Graduating from college with virginity intact either suggests that something was wrong with you, or predicts that it will.
If you walk through a big campus during the first warm days of a year, you may be reminded of those immortal words (I forgot whose): “Spring is the time that even a stick clambers on top of another stick.”
If god didn’t want instant sex he wouldn’t have created beer.
David Gelernter: He no play the game, he no make the rules….
Instant sex and romantic love can’t coexist any more than hurricanes and forest fires. One drives out the other.
But what about a forest fire and a tornado? I bet that would work!
Or, a tornado and a mudslide. I can totally see it.
Piotr: Agreed 100%, my point was “wait until you’re married,” and “thwarting is good for you,” are at best unrealistic.
BTW, I am NOT advocating that people who don’t want to have sex should do so because “It’s good for you.” I further believe that people who use “You’re just repressed,” as a pickup line deserve a knee/fist in the ‘nads/nose (depending on the gender of the slimebucket).
burning hunk o’manlove David Gelernter
Only if he comes with a wick.
Mickey to Rocky: “Women weaken legs!”
Of course, Gelertner is referring to how, if adolescent boys have sex, they’ll be less likely to become cannon fodder in the great imperialistic war for hegemony…

Really?
Are you suggesting that Jesus was a bastard?
“Instant sex and romantic love can’t coexist any more than hurricanes and forest fires. One drives out the other.”
Yeah, when you’re done in ‘an instant’ it really kills the romantic mood.
I ar ben in Tornado, took off mai ruf on May 8rd, rather haz thwarted sex
Gladz I no haz to make that choice.
Yay, finally I get to repost an Archimedes Plutonium essay:
Now here I am going to start a possible new theory. Me thinks it is
mostly bunk though. But I have to explore it somewhat as there may be a
connection to more important venues or avenues.
I like it when people in science spit out their new idea rapid fire in
stead of beating around the bush.
Sex Theory of humans, true or false: Notice how some women seem to
fall apart after their first baby. Note that salmon, after they mate
are good as dead. Note that sports athletes were required to not have
sex before the big sports event because they were more “vicious”. Note
that sex is a “relaxant”. So, this theory which I suspect is bunk and
will never fly, is saying that having sex somehow deteriorates the
human body.
The reason I say it is bunk is because I cannot see any signaling to
the body that sex was performed, from say masturbation. And then you
must bring in the factors of Eunuchs and that of wet dreams also.
I know Eunuchs never lost their hair. But were eunuchs aging also
preserved better than your sex active males and females?
And how is a body to recognize the difference between say a wet dream
and a masturbation and a sex coitus.
Some sort of signalling in the human body which then creates some
hormones which then goes to deterioration of the human who just
performed sex?
If true then with each sex coitus the humans who partake are that
much older or that much more deteriorated and closer to death.
Obviously if true, the human mechanism is not as apparent as the Salmon
Mechanism on sex. Immediately after sex with salmon, it is kiss goodbye
the male.
And if there is some truth to this body deterioration with sex, then
the signal and perhaps the mechanism of deterioration is the hormones.
Are there anything extra going into sex coitus as compared to just
masturbation? Does a male masturbation body recognize that it was just
a masturbation and not a male female coitus?
If my theory is true, and I seriously doubt it, then if this science
is uncovered would perhaps mean that someday, we can have a biological
test of humans, and sort of like count the tree rings, we can count
something which indicates how many times a male had masturbated,
coitused, or wet dreamed. And for those males wanting to marry a true
blue virgin, can have her tested.
So, if my theory is true, would mean some bucks to me in the ways of
patenting a sex barometer thermometer measuring devices.
And if my theory is true would mean that per each coitus, the human
body is that much more deteriorated if it had abstained. And people who
do abstain are that fraction more intelligent. Those that have a-lot of
coitus would by more and more birdbrainish or salmonbrained.
And a-lot of men are like a wet noodle after coitus. Beyond relaxing
or calming but just a noodle
And perhaps there is a-lot to show for the athletes who abstain
before big games. Perhaps the winning of the football championship is
the football team that does not get any coitus for the whole playing
season and that by the time that the playoff championship rolls around,
these tykes are so vicious and their minds so lucid and clear that they
win the championship and then can go home and fill up on sex. Like at
the gasoline station– fill’ er’ up.
I should check into this some more. I believe I will have to research
hormones. And whether there are any hormonal fluids exchanged during
sex. Of course there is male ejection into female. But is there any
female ejection into male during coitus? I would think very much so
because I hear of these sex transmitted diseases from female into male.
So you know that the female must introduce something of female into
male during coitus.
Now the question occurs to me that our way way way back ancestors
were the fish. Animals came from fish in the long progression of life.
So, seeing that some fishes have this DETERIORATION AFTER SEX
PHYSICALNESS, perhaps all animals to some degree possess this in their
physiology. And although it may be very very tiny in humans, still, if
any present at all would be a science.
Yes indeed a science. And another cheer for cloning.
I think S,N! may have stumbled on to the ultimate an-aphrodisiac.
Take a 8×10 color glossy photo of David Gelernter’s face. Force every child to start wearing it as a mask at the age of 10.
They’ll be too busy laughing at the sight of one another to expend their precious “power reserves.”
So Archimedes Plutonium is one of the great early Internet Crazy Guys. His personal story is that he’s the reincarnation of the classical Archimedes, but his cosmology is what’s really great: all observable reality is really just one Plutonium Atom (or possibly one electron in the outermost shell of a Plutonium Atom), and once all of humanity understands this, the universe will progress, possibly becoming a giant Americium Atom, I don’t know.
Also a plutonium atom is at the center of his brain, allowing him to work at this higher level of consciousness. He once explained how consciousness worked, starting from “I had a craving for coconut” and ending in “therefore, plutonium atom”.
If you have a few hours to read real great crazy stuff that’s not about how the President should be allowed to do whatever he wants, get on google groups (or whatever) and look for Archie Pu (or his full name, Archimedes Plutonium).
You just gotta love the passive voice! A shrewd financial transaction, or romantic love, maybe it’s all the same thing. Unless you’re Rachel.
I think he may be on to something with this forest fire thing. I mean, sure, everyone knows that a hurricane is likely to douse a forest fire. But I never knew that forest fires drove hurricanes out. This is something they may want to think about in the Southeast. Next time a hurricane is on the way, just torch a forest, and voila! No more hurricane! They could build forests just to burn them. It’s brilliant.
Instant sex and romantic love can’t coexist any more than Walt Whitman’s poetry and God’s mercy to man. One drives out the other.
Let’s stick with the classic analogies.
Well Doctorb, this would be a + in the Creationist column, wouldn’t it? I ain’t related to no damned fuckin’ n dyin’ fishes!
Can you imagine the fear in the wingnut adolescent mind if you show them rotting, dying, post-mating salmon, followed by a very stern warning about throttling the old john thomas?
Thwarted sexual desire is nearly as necessary to young people as food and shelter.
File under “Just keep telling yourself that.”
Premarital, premature sex drains the power reserve that would have propelled them into emotional (versus mere physical) adulthood.
I might come a little bit closer to believing this if he’d written could have instead of would have. How many of the emotionally stunted dipshits at his own publication were sexually frustrated teenagers? And what the fuck does this guy know about emotional adulthood?
human beings transform longing for an adored object into a heightened state of consciousness in a process called shopping.
Upgraded to BadAnalogy 2.1.
a-lot of men are like a wet noodle after coitus. Beyond relaxing or calming but just a noodle
This phenomena may be overreported by sexual partners who have not reached orgasm first.
And how is a body to recognize the difference between say a wet dream.
One rarely has a hickey after masturbation.
If my theory is true, and I seriously doubt it, then if this science is uncovered would perhaps mean that someday, we can have a biological
test of humans, and sort of like count the tree rings, we can count something which indicates how many times a male had masturbated, coitused, or wet dreamed.
Hopefully fingers and toes will suffice as counting devices until high school.
Just a question: What is instant sex anyways? Perhaps I’ve just lived a sheltered life but there’s always been some lapse of time (and a drink or two) between attraction and action.
oops, the middle quote should be thus:
And how is a body to recognize the difference between say a wet dream and a masturbation and a sex coitus.
Only the historically thwarted can stand athwart history.
The fact is that ‘athwart’ sounds more and more like a name from Tolkein-style fantasy. Athwart the Swarthy, son of Swarfega, doughty leader of the Umlauts.
I can’t wait to hear what primate researchers or human sexuality experts think about parallel computing.
Ahem, Smut Clyde.
Ahem, I says!
I always thought “instant sex” was prostitution, you know, the world’s OLDEST profession. For as long as people have been keeping records, people have been having this “instant sex” and somehow we managed to all get here to the end of 2007 more or less in one piece. GUESS it wasn’t all that much of a deal breaker on the human condition, eh?
Honestly though what a horrible term – sounds like something that comes in a packet where you just add water.
For as long as people have been keeping records, people have been having this “instant sex”
Future editions will no longer include the “World’s Quickest Sex Act” entry — it was encouraging hazardous behaviour.
We r responsible publishers.
What is instant sex anyways?
Just add water.
someday, we can have a biological test of humans, and sort of like count the tree rings, we can count something which indicates how many times a male had masturbated
Um…wouldn’t this take a really long time?
I am about to tell you leftys once and for all what I truly think about your beloved democrat party. The democrat party is the party of corruption. Corruption is every democrats middle name. In States in the Northeast which are run by democrats you can’t even get a well paying job unless you know somebody because democrats are corrupt klansmen who only look after thier own. The democat party is filled with all sorts of evil people, it is made up of crooks, bums, adulterers, homosexuals, pedophiles and other assorted low lifes. Democrats and people who vote for them have no brian in thier head, if they did they would vote Republican, democrat voters are all skulls full of mush. They do not realize that they are digging thier own graves and the grave of America every time they vote a democrat into public office. The democrats socialist policies of over taxation, multiculturalism, open borders, secularism, moral relativism and disdain for all things Traditional and Patriotic are destroying America. The Republican Party on the other hand is the Party of Fiscal discipline, Traditional American Values, Strong National Defense, Secure Borders and Patriotism. Any Republican who clearly articulates the Conservative Message like Ronald Reagan did, will beat any democrat in any electon, anywhere with the exception of the far left coastal big cities but thier not really American anyway. The bottom line is, the Republican Party is the Party that represents the best interests of the vast majority of the American people, while the democrat party represents the best interest of the coastal elites.
“I’m sorry but comparing love to photosynthesis is, well, just icky.”
The analogy came (nyuk nyuk nyuk) to David Gelernter pretty readliy; he’s never performed either himself.

Oh. That IS the edited version. Sorry about the confusion.
Carry on, little wingnut. Mend your broken wings and learn to fly.
P.S. Keeping steady company with a person you adore plus not sleeping with her (or him) leads one to ask, “could it be that he/she is just not that into me?”

Or, perhaps, that one of the parties is gay?
This, by the way, makes for a fine relationship. I keep steady company with a man I adore, who also adores me. Just because he’s gay doesn’t mean I can’t be madly in love with him – I just don’t love him that way.
“Why can’t they coexist? Because, just as green leaves transform sunlight to useful energy in a process called photosynthesis, human beings transform longing for an adored object into a heightened state of consciousness in a process called falling in love.”

“Oh, and by the way…”
I’ve always found this to be a weird little rhetorical tick that Bush uses when he speaks to the press – and it makes me laugh.
It’s a phrase used as an aside, for trivial or optional details, or for something that the speaker just happened to remember while enroute to the main point of his speech – as in, “by the way, I put some clean socks in your drawer,” or “by the way, the copier toner is low,”
Bush oddly uses it to introduce significant statements, like “by the way, the evildoers want to kill us”. Or else he uses it to state the obvious, as in “by the way, diplomacy is hard work” – which is another weird use of the phrase. It indicates he’s really not thinking about the meaning of his words, but just parroting talking points.
It’s good to see his minions aping his conversational style. When he’s out of office their stilted speaking style will be a marking characteristic of them – one of the few benign legacies he’ll have.
By the way, that image may purport to show Gelernter, but to me it looks more like Andy Serkis in the role of Martin Hannett.
I only correct your errors because I care.
By the way, lieberals, the Miami Dolphins are the greatest football team in the NFL today, seeing as how they come from the Hartland and every other team represents the eeevil coastal elite. The fact is, the Dolphins will go all the way to win the Superior Bowl and be rewarded the Roanldus Maximus Croos of Freedom by George W. Bush, the greatest president in history.

I hate to echo the other commenters, but it’s hilariously and painfully obvious this guy has never had real sex.
Normal earthlings that have been in real relationships know there’s no such thing as a “power reserve” that you spend.

Which prompts a second question: Who is Fred Thompson?

either way, sex can be mundane. i can’t tell you how many mundane…oh never mind.
unbridled is much more comfortable. wet suit-free is also recommended but just try and persuade a republican.

[Gelertner:] Genesis 29, for example, tells us that Jacob fell in love with Rachel, and it was agreed that he should have her after working seven years for her father.
[imfapscist:] You just gotta love the passive voice! A shrewd financial transaction, or romantic love, maybe it’s all the same thing. Unless you’re Rachel.
Actually, Biblical story, as all too often, is rather convoluted. Jacob was probably not all that pleased with the Laban’s condition so he perpetrated a swindel that we would call “trading on insider information”, splitting the lambs that were not yet born (future contracts in Genesis!) according to the pattern of their fleece, white and black for Laban, and the patterned ones for Jacob. Then Jacob used a trick to cause all lambs to have white-black patterned fleece, his insider info. To boot, his method most assuredly should not work — letting ewes look at sticks that were both white and black.
So, the first approximation is that the energy of Love secured Laban’s an enthusiastic worker for 7 years. But this worker was actually very disgruntled so he made an insider’s swindle. To much delay in the gratification is apparently not so good. Finally, a totally bogus biological detail is added. Now, my fellow theologians, why would Lord add such a needless bogus detail? Remember, everything in the Bible has its meaning, and the more nonsensical it seems, the deeper the meaning is. Perhaps a clue not to treat it too seriously?
I can’t get to the little lambies.

OH MY GOD! Rainbow lambs! GLBTXYZ
I once bought a half a lamb. A friend of mine had a connection in Wenatchee to a farmer who raised organic lambs; we drove over the mountains and drove back with a cooler full of butchered parts. We divided it up, and I put mine in the freezer and had it for the next six months or so. It was wonderful.
Somehow, I can’t imagine that Saul is a very good cook.
I love the frilly hindquarter detail on the burgundy-coloured lamb in front. Just what the Bovine Brummel will be wearing this year. Ark ark ark.
Oh, rats. That should be Ovine Brummel, which makes my joke completely (as opposed to just partially) unfunny.
Oh well, probably no one got it anyway, so no real loss there.
Saul’s starting his own HomeDinXP?
Premarital, premature sex drains the power reserve that would have propelled them into emotional (versus mere physical) adulthood.

Mr. Clyde, what’s the deal on the lamb-people? We had a prankster in the US of A in the late ’60s or early ’70s who started something called the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals, which wanted to clothe the cows, etc. Is this something of that sort? Ot just some goofy art crap?
Oh, by the way, I live in Virginia, which I consider part of the Heartland because it is a Solid Red State.

By the way, when are you going to admit that you’re not Jewish (since I’ve already proven it). Or are you going to run with your tail between your legs again?

Dude. You hurt their feelings.
Of course, Gelertner is referring to how, if adolescent boys have sex, they’ll be less likely to become cannon fodder in the great imperialistic war for hegemony…
Well, that’s certainly part of the neoconservative idea(l). But, much as I hate to sound like a Marxist, the conservative position has always been “Premature sex is any kind we haven’t been able to make a profit off yet.”
Keeping the teenagers separated, with barbed wire and crowbars if necessary, used to involve trading “maidenheads” for goods or services (to be paid to the unfortunate maiden’s family, of course, because they’d had all the trouble & expense of raising a mere baby-making machine). Today, it’s more about preventing “Instant Sex” so as to make the maximum “Instant Money”. And it’s not just the Pr0n industry, although pretty obviously there’s still many a dollar to be made in the naughty-images bizniss — large chunks of the consumer dollars spent on video games, techno-toys, gadgetry, mind-altering substances both licit and illegal, and even such humble commestibles as Cheetos and Mountain Dew represent sexual frustration or the wish to overcome such frustration. Not to mention the whole wedding industry, which includes not only the party-planners & cake-bakers & godsbotherers but also a significant part of the travel-planning brigade and a surprising percentage of department-store sales (china, silverware, furniture); these people get the biggest returns when two horny just-post-adolescents come straight from their respective nests, desperate to spend whatever it takes to ensure The Happiest Day of Their Lives!!!1! followed by The Perfect Honeymoon and then a brand-new household full of name-brand, undiscounted white goods and household appliances. Once you let teenagers go out and screw whoever they can persuade, whenever or wherever they can manage, you’ve just lost a lot of “disposable income” that the sexually un-desperate will spend on going places and learning things and finding pleasures that are more individually satisfying but a lot less amenable to marketization.
Well put, Anne Laurie.
Mr. Clyde, what’s the deal on the lamb-people?
Just a guess, but I’ve seen sheep in the 4-H barns at the state fair wearing cute little garments like that, to keep their wool all white & fluffy after they’ve been shampooed and before they’re judged for their looks, soundness & appearance. Possibly the rainbow colors make it easier to sort individual wooly blobs out in a field or a badly-lit pre-dawn county fair barn? (As for the frills, I will just note that many fine seamstresses are incapable of sewing any garment, however utilitarian its intent, without adding a little “extra” just for her own satisfaction. Or possibly his own satisfaction; perhaps Bob Mackie started with a single tasteful pearl edging… )
(Which reminds me — I know nothing about the scoring of ovine competition, but I did take a Dairy Science course back in the early 1970s. At that time, a dairy cow being judged for comformation got a possible 100 points, 25 of them devoted to the size & shapeliness of her mammaries, and 10 for, my hand to god, “poise”.)
Also, “[p]remarital, premature sex drains the power reserve that” can be channeled into religious activities.Free labor for religious institutions, really, and sending the horny little (non)fuckers out to scream at people on the streets.
Hoosier, I’ve been mocking Mittens & Huckabilly on my Z-list no-traffic web log, if you’re at work & really bored.
I like Ann Laurie. More, please?
jex
Did I say Ann? I meant Anne…
Smut Clyde said it was some sort of art project. Not the Kiwi version of clothe the cows, alas.
The “poise” thing may have to do w/ how well Elsie reacts to people, especially people w/ cold hands putting the grip on her shapely & sizable mammaries. You don’t want to tick off a cow. Or have an easily ticked cow.
Did someone say ‘Tick’ and ‘cow’ in the same sentence?
Look, a man-eating cow!
Just a question: What is instant sex anyways? Perhaps I’ve just lived a sheltered life but there’s always been some lapse of time (and a drink or two) between attraction and action.
Drink or two? Sometimes it takes a lot more!
At that time, a dairy cow being judged for comformation got a possible 100 points, 25 of them devoted to the size & shapeliness of her mammaries, and 10 for, my hand to god, “poise”.
Sounds like Miss World: Aussie cartoonist/writer Kaz Cooke referred to the judging criteria as “poise, fetlocks, and poise”. She also mentioned that the Miss Universe contest was so-named because people from other planets could enter.
Personally, I’d rather watch the cows. Bovine, that is.
So what are the commercial possibilities of ovine aviation?
Dirty little secret for the conservatives: Abstention really starts to pall after the first 35 years….
Why is the dude who played Flounder writing about premarital sex anyway?
Ah, but when a troll deals us lemons, we should sing The Lemon Song until it goes away.
It would be especially appropriate since we were discussing bodily PowerSteeringFluid.
Just one note: sex, instant or not, may not make you blind or grow hair on your hands, but it CAN cause you to lose to track meets. Or just not show up.
I’m headed out the door to go dancing and god willing, to go deplete my “power reserve” 😉
I’ve had a recent dry spell, if you will, that has lasted much longer than desired. And from this experience I have learned that it tends to make you a bit asexual, at least it has for me. I no longer peruse the pleasures of porn; it just bores me. I think this gentleman has had quite a longer dry spell (30 years plus, I’m guessing) and the transmogrification is complete.
Also, if anyone knows a good place to pick up some instant sex (maybe a wholesale outlet?) I’m listening.
“If life deals us lemons, shouldn’t we make lemonade?”
Henry Rollins tells us, if life gives you lemons, you say “Cool. I like lemons. Got any more?”
” If life deals us lemons, shouldn’t we make lemonade?”
No, they should be squeezed until the juice runs down our leg.

What a great bunch of guys.
Rather than the “instant sex” I opt for the French press.
If you were blown up ten years ago by the Unabomber like Gelertner, what would your life focus be today? Think you’d be even keel?
That being said, anyone remember why the Unabomber blew him up? Why, because he was working on PARALLEL COMPUTING. Which is what today all teh computar companies are marketing to all your 13 year old children.
