Jude looks like a lady - An interesting article about how gender is presented in Hollyweird. (although I still don't get Jude Law as the sort of merged person they think he is. But maybe that's just me.) ^pop (Added: 10-Feb-2000 Hits: 12 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

QueerCinema - Reviews and previews of gay-oriented/content films and videos. An ... interesting rating system. (Apparently I have to hand in my Gay Guys Union Card. Again.) ^pop (Added: 25-Jan-2000 Hits: 7 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Tales from the Sexual Underground: Tearoom Etiquette - Who knew there was an etiquette to this? ^pop (Added: 25-Feb-2000 Hits: 8 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Urban Primitive Body Design - OK, properly speaking, it's a promo site for a tattoo/piercing studio. But there's a LOT of other stuff on their site.
The Male Genital Modification section under "academia" was fascinating. In a frequently leg-crossing way. ^pop (Added: 13-Feb-2000 Hits: 7 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

"give her something BIG for the new millennium" - A drug to increase penile length and circumference.
No, really, I'm not joking. They call it "the ultimate all natural male organ enhancement pill."
They also advertise that pill/cream that enlarges breasts.
And the ingredient list ... Calcium Carbonate? I mean, that's just a standard calcium additive--Tums, actually. Basil? BASIL? My goodness. I should maybe eat more Italian foods ... (Added: 12-Feb-2000 Hits: 4 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

"Out of Exile" by Deirdre McCloskey - An article by Deirdre McCloskey (formerly Donald) about what it was like to make the change from male to female. (The family alone was a nightmare of the first water.)
Read fast; I've no idea how long links from the Tribune Magazine persist. (Added: 25-Jan-2000 Hits: 4 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

"Pimpin' is hard work" - I honestly can't think of anything to say about this.
Although I do wonder why the Players Ball doesn't get raided by police on an annual basis. (Added: 29-Jan-2000 Hits: 2 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

AIDS in the Priesthood - A really intense series about how the Catholic priesthood is coping with AIDS.
Overall, the answer to that question would be: Not at all well. Priests die of AIDS at four times the rate of the general population.
It does highlight, if nothing else, the peculiar paradoxes of the priesthood. You ban homosexuality, make it a major sin, yet you create a society in which, for the most part, men find the company only of other men (and women only of women, for that matter). Priests are supposed to be celibate, yet they die of a sexually transmitted disease. (I do wonder what the rate of infection for VD would be; if the rate of AIDS infection is four times that the general population, surely the rate of VD should be equivalent.) The Church now tests for AIDS prior to ordination, but priests are supposed to have been celibate and therefore should not have been exposed through sex during their seminary period.
Of course, the other issue is that the Church tries desperately to ignore sexual activity by its priests generally. I spoke with my mother about this issue not long ago, and she told me about several priests she knew who were married and practicing, not even trying terribly hard to hide it. For that and other reasons, the church has been hemorrhaging priests, at least in this country, throughout the latter half of the century. The tension between the Church and the 20th century may well destroy its priesthood in the 21st.
It's also clear that the Star is expecting "difficulties", to say the least, over its decision to run this series. I'm not sure that the editorial is meant to defuse any of that; merely to explain why the series is worthwhile on its own merits. But ... shouldn't that be obvious?

And y'all thought we were so shy and demure... - Actually, I have nothing else to say about that. Really.

Come on boys, grin and bare it! (Sydney Morning Herald) - An interesting analysis of male nudity in film, and how it's changing ... or not. (Added: 25-Feb-2000 Hits: 3 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Land of Dixie, land of divorce - Apparently, the deep South leads the North in divorce rates, by some considerable margin.
If the governors of Arkansas and Oklahoma weren't spending their taxpayers' hard-payed moneys on this fardling crap, it would be truly hysterical. (Added: 26-Jan-2000 Hits: 2 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

SUFFERING is HIP: Kokigami - Well ... this is a different thing to do with the ol' pene, anyway. (Added: 13-Feb-2000 Hits: 6 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Y, Y, Y are men men? - The answer, it seems, is not simply the Y chromosome.
OK, it's an old article, but I just found it. And it's fascinating, really. (Added: 27-Jan-2000 Hits: 1 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It
