They say $32K was too much for playing around on second base. But they don’t say what they think a fair price would be.
I think they should just let the open market decide.

You can use it just don’t promote it
I think the law is silly, but I am inclined to agree that the State of Texas probably is within it’s enumerated powers to pass and enforce such a silly law:
The Supreme Court refused Monday to consider whether a Texas law making it a crime to promote sex toys shaped like sexual organs is unconstitutional.
An adult bookstore employee in El Paso, Texas, sued the state after his arrest for showing two undercover officers a device shaped like a penis and telling the female officer the device would arouse and gratify her.
The employee, Ignacio Sergio Acosta, says a Texas law outlawing the manufacture, marketing or dissemination of an “obscene device” including those shaped like sex organs is unconstitutional because it prevents individuals from using such devices, violating their right to sexual privacy.
I would be inclined to ridicule every man involved in this from the legislators that voted for it, the police enforcing the law, to the prosecutors presenting the case. It would go something like this, “So, are you afraid your wife won’t be interested in you anymore once she gets one of these? Perhaps you should get some lessons on how to be a better lover rather than trying to prevent her from getting a little satisfaction.”
British sex archives
At first glance at the newspaper version I was only surprised by one statistic; “one in five men had homosexual experiences”. That seems a little bit high but it would depend on the exact question asked. Other bits of information include:
“Materials in our archive range from holiday makers enjoying themselves on the beach at Blackpool to the experiences of the Second World War when many people, fearing they may not survive the war, were more sexually active,” she said.
Despite the taboos of the time, the 1949 sex survey, originally meant for national newspapers but never published due to its content, found one in five men had homosexual experiences and a quarter admitted to having sex with prostitutes. One in five women confessed to extra-marital affairs.
Alan Crosby, a historian at Liverpool University, said the archives also show how attitudes to sex crimes have changed.
“Sexual offences in the past were recognized as serious crimes, just as they are today,” he said, but the punishment system was very different.
Documents detail how a man convicted of a sex crime in northern English town in 1630 was punished by being paraded through the streets and humiliated in front of fellow citizens.
A nice butt
I’ve had numerous women tell me I have a nice butt and once had a strange woman give it a squeeze but today was the first time I had a man tell me that. It was more that just a little bit odd. Especially since I obviously had a loaded gun (I was about to shoot a stage in a steel match) and he didn’t.
Don, thanks (I think), for the compliment but we are not going on any camping trips together.
Interesting viewpoints
A LARGE number of Britons would be prepared to give up sex if it meant they would live to be 100, according to a survey published today.
The Mori research found that 40 per cent would pass on the passion for longevity, although far more women (48 per cent) were willing to make the sacrifice than men (31 per cent).
Not that anyone is saying one could successfully make such a trade. They were just asking to see how important life is to people.
One friend of mine wrote an essay complaining about all the people that want to live a long time. His view is that these people are getting in the way of evolution and therefore life extending activities were immoral.
Still another friend told me, “I’ll know I’m dead when my dick stops working.”
Dr. Joe is most in agreement with this last viewpoint.
Just weird
First willy swap is lopped off:
AN accident victim who became the first person to have a PENIS transplant has had it removed because of psychological problems.
The 44-year-old man was given the 4in manhood taken from a brain-dead patient half his age.
Surgeons in Guangzhou, China, said it had a rich blood supply and he was able to pass water through it ten days after the complex 15-hour op.
But despite the success doctors had to remove the organ after just 14 days due to “a severe psychological problem with the recipient and his wife”.
Transplant expert Prof Andrew George, of Imperial College London, said: “It’s not clear if the patient would have been able to have sex with it.”
Careful with those toys
Just so you know (from The Sun):
SEX toys could make you seriously ill, a study claims.
Research by Greenpeace Netherlands has found that 7 out of 8 sex toys contained high levels of chemicals linked to hormone and reproductive disturbances – which means they could stop women having children.
Apparently ‘phthalates’, which are used to soften plastics, accounted for between a quarter and a half of the offending items, including dildos and vibrators.
The substances do not easily biodegrade and can be dangerous – even in small amounts.
Lab rodents who were exposed to high levels of phthalates reportedly suffered damage to the liver, kidneys, lungs and developing testes.
I love sick humor
This probably doesn’t quite meet the definition of a sick joke but it’s close enough for me to get a laugh.
Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bedside.
He looked up and said weakly: “I have something I must confess.”
“There’s no need to, ” his wife replied.
“No,” he insisted, “I want to die in peace. I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!”
“I know,” she replied, “now just rest and let the poison work.”

Confronting your accusers
Part of due process is being able to confront your accuser(s). Apparently that isn’t part of the law in some cases in the UK and this guy spent five years in jail before they figured out the accuser was a liar:
A father who served five years in jail for sexually assaulting a woman had his conviction quashed yesterday after new evidence suggested his victim was a liar who inflicted her own injuries.
Warren Blackwell, 36, embraced his wife, Tanya, outside the Court of Appeal in London, saying he would always love her for standing by him. But the ordeal made him “a very angry man indeed”.
“It took the police and the justice system nine months to convict me of a crime that not only did I not commit, but a crime that never even took place,” he said in a statement read by his solicitor.
And not only that she still can’t be named:
“It has taken almost seven years to clear my name.” The court was told that the woman, who cannot be named, had made strikingly similar claims of other sex attacks, had an ability to lie and a possible propensity to self harm.
…
Mr Justice Tugendhat said that when Parliament passed the law granting lifetime anon-ymity to complainants in sex cases it did not contemplate someone acting as she had.
“There may, in future, be another case in which she makes allegations against another man.”
We have a Constitution which was designed to prevent these sort of abuses by government. It’s too bad our government doesn’t abide by it. But at least it gives us a clear goal in our pursuit of regaining our freedom.
Yeah, right, that will work
This wouldn’t work with me and I can’t imagine it working any better with Columbian gang members:
BOGOTA, Colombia, Sept 12 (Reuters) – They are calling it the “crossed legs” strike.
Fretting over crime and violence, girlfriends and wives of gang members in the Colombian city of Pereira have called a ban on sex to persuade their menfolk to give up the gun.
The “Right” to Enslave
First: Thank you, Joe, for allowing me to post on your blog. The trouble is I have this terrible habit of writing whole essays (but I did get freedom, gun rights and sex into a single issue):
Years ago I had a conversation with a man who considered himself a libertarian– one who had been reading Ayn Rand’s definitive work, “Capitalism”. He persisted in trying to convince me that “state’s rights” might properly involve the right to “allow” slavery if the people of that state so choose. It took some doing before I could get him to admit that just maybe, there can be no right to enslave, because such a “right” involved the blatant violation of rights.
I ran across two examples of this kind of silliness today. One was in a discussion of self protection rights. A state “shall issue” concealed carry law, it was asserted, would take away “local discretion”, or to put it another way, it would deny local governments the “right” to ban the carrying of concealed guns. In another discussion I heard of the practice of removing a girl’s clitoris being described as though it were a right, or as a “traditional cultural practice” that certain peoples had a right to exercise.
In both cases, there is desire to define the protection of Liberty (the right to bear arms, or the right to keep your body parts) as “taking away local discretion” as though local “discretion” (to impose force upon individuals) is the same thing as Liberty. Lets apply that position to some other hallmarks of a free society: Nation-wide Emancipation denies “local discretion” regarding the keeping of slaves. The First Amendment takes away “local discretion” regarding the confiscation of computers and printing machines or the forced shut-down of local radio stations, and it takes away “local discretion” to ban Jews from owning land.
I guess we’re not “free” after all if we don’t have “local discretion” to ban or confiscate anything we want, or to cut various body parts off of anyone we want, so long as it gives us the sort of “Culture” we desire for “Our Community” and what about “democracy” after all? (Is anyone else reminded of Jim Jones at this point?)
Such an attitude is rooted in a fairly complete lack of principles and a total ignorance of the U.S. Constitution and history. Government’s job, in the uniquely American sense, is to protect us from force and fraud, to ensure our right to life and property, and to ensure our right to peaceable, voluntary association and exchange with others.
That’s it. Whether government has “local discretion” or “regional discretion”, or “global discretion” to control us, rob us, allow our neighbors to cut pieces off us, or enslave us, the outcome is going to be very much the same—violation, stagnation, decay, and suffering.
Government, properly, has only responsibilities. We as individuals retain all the discretion, and we as individuals, or as collectives, do not have any “right” to initiate force or fraud upon anyone, no matter how wonderful and “Cultured” it might make us feel. Is that so terribly difficult to understand?
Rescue a woman from slavery
Alright guys. This has to rank near the top of the list of the most despicable crimes. Keep your eyes open as you go about your business and report anything suspicious.
Neighbours who believe they live next to property being used for sex slaves are being urged to help the fight against human trafficking.
A drive will also appeal for men who frequent brothels to contact the police anonymously and without fear of prosecution with concerns about women who appear to be working there against their will.
Senior officers want people to look out for women who cannot speak English, seem reticent or afraid and are not allowed out without being accompanied by a man.
The next time Barb takes me to a brothel you can be sure I’ll be on the lookout.
Bomb scare over penis pump
They shouldn’t be violating our 4th amendment rights to begin with so this issues should never have come up. But now it has and I have been sort of following this story. I probably wouldn’t have commented on it but then he said:
Amin may not want his mother to know he has a penis pump, but he said he doesn’t consider it an unusual device to own.
“It’s normal,” he said. “Half of America they use it.”
Half of America would mean virtually all males. I don’t think so. My guess it would be in the fraction of one percent range, but then Dr. Joe hasn’t done accurate surveys on that particular topic.
I don’t think he should be prosecuted over this since the public embarrassment would seem to be sufficient punishment. I mean, if you were so embarrassed by it that you didn’t want your mother to know you had it and told security it was a bomb rather than a penis pump can you imagined the discomfort he is experiencing when the entire world can read about it and is making jokes at his expense?
Poor guy. Let that be a lesson to you. If are going to bring sex toys on the plane bring something that won’t be mistaken for a weapon. The only sex toy I take on my airline flights is my spouse which no one has yet considered a weapon (no, I’m not going to go for the joke, my own “homeland security” would come down on me way too hard). But if you don’t have one you might consider an anatomically correct inflatable sheep or something.
Hmmm… red heads
The study by Hamburg Sex Researcher Professor Dr Werner Habermehl looked at the sex lives of hundreds of German women and compared them with their hair colour.
He said: “The sex lives of women with red hair were clearly more active than those with other hair colour, with more partners and having sex more often than the average. The research shows that the fiery redhead certainly lives up to her reputation.”
He added that women who dyed their hair red from another colour were signalling they were looking for a partner, and added: “Even women in a fixed relationship are letting their partners know they are unhappy if they dye their hair red. They are saying that they are looking for something better.”
Sexual stats on men
It’s good for causal conversation I suppose. But I’m very suspicious of the accuracy. It’s almost for certain self reported:
An international survey of 40,000 men has revealed 60 per cent of Australian men have never strayed, ranking just behind the Germans and Poles at 62 per cent.
…
South Korean men are having sex more times a week than anyone else in the world, while hot-blooded Brazilian men are at it with a wider range of women.
On average, South Koreans said they were having sex at least four times a week, while Filipinos were world-beaters at masturbation, doing it almost six times a week.
Brazilians topped two categories, with 19 per cent saying they had had a threesome, which might help account for them having clocked up the most lovers, the internationally published fitness magazine said.
British men spend or claim to spend an average of 17.44 minutes on foreplay per sex session, longer than Australians (17.2 mins), Germans (16.92 mins) and Mexicans (16.91 mins).
But British men last only 18.64 minutes from foreplay to climax, far behind the Mexicans (23.17 minutes) and the Dutch (22.42 minutes).
Women might want to keep an eye out for an Italian lover 60 per cent of Italian men said they made their partner climax every time.
Now if they wanted to do a real study they need to have unbiased scientific observers. Dr. Joe is available for the right price.
More bad news from the U.K.
It’s not just the lack of guns and the high rate of violent crime over there. As I have commented before their sex lives have something to be desired too. Here is another story on that topic.
Computer quotes
Via Samantha, a collection of computer related quotes. My favorite is this one:

Time to go back to bed. Barb is waiting for me.
Friends in the news
Barb and I bumped into a friend today and we innocently asked “What have you been up to?”. Our innocence was taken away when he said he and his girlfriend just got back from Las Vegas where they attended the Lifestyle conference. There were 3000 people there. That’s a very big sex party.
He reported they both had a really good time.
Virtual babe
Friday night I met Barb in the Tri-Cities and the next day we visited her aunt and uncle before driving back to the Seattle area to visit our Jewish friends (Randy and his new wife Kim). On the three plus hour drive alone I figured it would be appropriate to listen to some of Randy’s music. So I listened to the album Slop. I found myself very pleased with the combination of technology and sex in the song Virtual Babe (WMA, 1.34 MB).
