SexBlogging

Amanda Marcotte on Professional Prude Jennefer Morse:

So that clarifies why Morse can be so absolute in her belief that sex shouldn’t be a good time and relaxing but something only undertaken with the proper terror of getting pregnant again–she had her fun, it’s in the past, now you can’t have yours.

I think it's interesting and good that we have women debating women around these issues.

I also wonder what the male response is supposed to be. It's rare to see any male pundits make the kinds of pious claims that these Professional Prudes do, even preachers. I've not heard of any books coming out in which a Male Author laments his promiscuity and admonishes other young men to settle down with their high school sweetheart.

Perhaps I'm uninformed, but this looks suspiciously like another iteration of the stud/slut double-standard.
