Ross Douthat has weighed in, again, on sexual morality. The conservative New York Times columnist has a new column today, entitled The Quest for a New Sexual Morality, in which he marks a new era in American sexuality with the death of Hugh Hefner and the birth of the #MeToo movement, which was “founded on outrage over rape and sexual assault” but ended up transforming into a movement with “emphasized the ways that Hefnerism made life easy for pigs and libertines, forcing young women to accept male sexual expectations in the name of liberation — and promised to make it serve a more progressive and egalitarian vision.”
I believe comedians are the most intelligent of all truth tellers. Since truth tends to get ridiculously sheltered people all hot and bothered, MIB please keep ‘em coming!
Excellent job tackling a very complicated subject. And PS- Douthat doesn’t sound (or look) like the kind of guy who’s had many opportunities to muddle through the complexities and vagaries of the human sexual experience.
Having read Douthat's column this morning, I enjoyed reading your excellent response so soon afterwards. This *girl raised Catholic* parsing these pieces involving morality and sex enjoyed the comic relief of laugh-out-loud jokes and selected photo choices. In all seriousness, yours was the more reasonable, informed take.
According to my sex partner (aka husband), religious education has a great influence on sexuality. And it starts early. Basically, sex is a sin and 🎶 every sperm is sacred 🎶. "There's no one hornier, and with more guilt, than a Catholic high school kid."
I feel like if you go to Ross Douthat for advice on how not to have sex then you have already accomplished your objective

I don’t appreciate the photo! It was bad enough reading about his words.

I don't want to upset you (it may have been consensual), but there's a third person in that picture of you and your wife. Mirror, mirror, on the wall.
Lots of typos - hard to follow. Not sure if you’re rushing, but a second set of eyes to review wouldn’t hurt.
LOVE the recent photo.
