So Rice University has joined a number of other schools in the dubious honor of having a university-sponsored s*x magazine. Started by a staff of mostly women, it contains pictures, articles and stories - all s*x-related. The editor, in her opening editorial, describes the problem she hopes the magazine will solve is that "the culture of Rice is not as welcoming to s*x as it could be." I'm not a Rice alum, and I can't say I spend much time on its campus, but I really can't imagine any place on Earth needs more discussion about s*x. Especially a college campus of any kind.
Why does each generation think they've invented s*x? Why do young people all think that no one but them does it, talks about it, thinks about it? Why do they asssume that anyone more than 5 years older than them is s*xless and repressed? After a certain point this attitude irritates me. It also makes me doubt their ability to reason and observe. Have they watched TV lately, been on the Internet, gone to the movies? S*x saturates our culture, but somehow these young idiots think we need more of it. My my, the future is secure.
These are the things that make me just want to put the kids in a basement until they are 30 when I introduce them to the spouse I have chosen for them.
ReplyDeleteDangit, we don't have a basement.
