‘Sexis’ and sex writing

jss | April 15, 2010

And the first piece I did is fun, and funny. I ran it past some people who *know* funny, and I was on the mark. Even I think it’s damned good, and I am usually so sick of my essays once I’m done with them that I almost can’t tell if they are good or not.

Almost, that is. You can’t do this without having some kind of confidence.

So please go read:

Adultery Benefits Women? A Case For Ashley Madison

The article is excerpted from a preliminary chapter of Into Temptation. So it is a bit of a sneak preview, long in advance …

Sex Journalism 101

jss | October 13, 2009

There aren’t enough sex columnist jobs out there for all these kid sex columnists coming out of school. And there *should* be. Newspapers are dying, in part, because they have almost no relevance to anyone under 35. You’d think at some point they’d try dumping “Dear Margo” for Mustafa “Will Write for Sex” Shaikh …

Or me.

Hooking Up is Different … How?

jss | June 13, 2009

Ever since I first heard that “hooking up” meant having casual sexual activity with someone — which had to be about in the late ’90s — I have been predictably annoyed by the media freak-outs on the subject. Here we are in 2009, and hooking up is still a horrifying trend, even according to National Public Radio.

Is Pole Dancing Wrong?

jss | May 29, 2009

Is pole dancing wrong? Some feminists say pole dancing is wrong and that women shouldn’t do it for fun, exercise or profit; that the current fad for pole dancing classes, of all things, is symptomatic of a culture gone entirely to raunch, since pole dancing has traditionally been the province of strippers.

You've Been Tempted.

Shadowy "Into Temptation" is a usually-but-not-always safe-for-work forum about evolving social-sexual networks and how they have changed and are changing lives. It will also loosely chronicle the research, writing and publication, I hope in 2011, of a book by the same name.

The author and editor? Jeff Schult | DWM | New England | ... We've dispensed with pseudoanonymity.
