Between the Sheets

Once again, we’re nearing the new year and I’m planning my fabulous annual New Year’s Eve Party. At the end of each year, I like to reflect on what has happened in the world, from the controversial to the funny to the just plain stupid. And for you all, I’d like to take this time to recap the top four sexiest news stories of 2007:

Old People Are Getting It On
According to some studies done this year, the Washington Post and a number of other sources reported that senior citizens are having sex well into their 70s and 80s. Hells yes. More than half of people 57-75 are enjoying oral sex on a regular basis, as are at least a third of people aged 75-85. Of those not doing the nasty, most reported that it was because of failing health or lack of a partner…not because they didn’t want to do it.

This, my friends, gives me hope for the future.

MySpace Hands Over Sex Offender Information
I’m a strong advocate of safe sex for everyone, and that includes protecting our children from sexual offenders. This year, MySpace handed over information regarding thousands of sex offenders on their social netowrking site. It’s a step for a safer future. I dig that. Ok, ok, this isn’t really a cream in your jeans kind of story…but it was important in the world of sex!

New Jersey Admits that Some People Like It in the Butt
Alright, fine, it is about more than liking it in the butt. In February of this year, New Jersey began recognizing civil unions for gay and lesbian couples. Finally! I mean, for hundreds…thousands…of years, guys have been getting it on with other dudes and girls have been carousing with other girls. It’s refreshing to see that people can finally admit that and even celebrate it. Yay gay rights!

Craig’s Toe-Tapping Scandal
It’s been a big year for gay sex stories. The most famous, however, is probably Senator Craig’s scandal when he tried to solicit gay sex in a public airport restroom. You know what I love about stories like this? The fact that it brings to light SEX in the public eye. We need to talk about SEX more. We need to admit that SEX is happening in public places, ALL THE TIME. And that’s not a bad thing!

What IS a bad thing is attempting to fuck another guy in an airport bathroom after you’ve spent your entire career campaigning against gay rights…

CHICAGO, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Which cars will be turning heads on the street this year? According to Playboy’s “2008 Cars of the Year,” a high-performance hybrid surges past competitors, a European import squeezes to the top, and a luxury carmaker provides one of the most fuel efficient and affordable vehicles on the road.

The selected cars were chosen by an expert team of automotive writers who traveled the world and test drove every new model hitting the showroom floor this year. The vehicles were taken on the sharpest turns, most challenging curves, and the steepest hills to properly separate the superlative from the mediocre.

2008 Car of the Year: Audi R8

Best Luxury Sports Coupe: Maserati GranTurismo

Best Sports Sedan: Cadillac CTS

Best SUV: Land Rover LR2

Best Crossover: Buick Enclave CXL

Best Convertible: BMW 335i

Best Easy-Day Car: Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec

Best Pint-Size Performance: Volvo C30

What do you think - are these cars sexy?

Give Harry Potter a few more years so he’s legal and the wizardly Dumbledore might be interested. Or not. After all, Harry Potter is not gay.

But, on Friday night, Harry Potter writer J.K. Rowling reported that the lovable teacher-figure in her young adult sci-fi series is probably gay. At least she thinks he is. Characters will do what they will after all. The Carnegie Hall audience present at this big announcement gasped…then fell silent…they erupted into applause, according to reports.

So this just gives those Crazy Christians another reason to hate Rowling (Note: I am Christian. Just not crazy.)

But here’s the question I have to ask: Who cares?

No really, is it relevant that this fictional wizard was attracted to males? Does it matter that he would rather take it up the butt or caress another man’s balls? Should we care that the literary world’s favorite supernatural teacher would rather not kiss girls? Is it disturbing that Dumbledore has loved another man in the past, not a woman?

Harry Potter opponents, regardless, are going to have a field day with this. But let’s look at people who aren’t resisting the Harry Potter magic - people who are die-hard Harry Potter fans. Will this relation turn some fans away from the series?

If it does, it just shows what is wrong with the world today. It doesn’t matter what your preferences between the sheets if you aren’t talking about your sexuality. Even if you don’t agree with that lifestyle, it doesn’t mean that gay wizards don’t have something to teach their young pupils (and readers). Why should one arbitrary fact, which doesn’t change the story and which some people will never know, change anyone’s opinions about Harry Potter?

Isn’t it funny how some people automatically speculate that because a role model/teach figure is gay, his relationship with underagers was inappropriate. Dumbledore wasn’t making advances on Harry Potter. And, while we’re at it, Dumbledore wasn’t making advances at other male figures in the story. Why? Because they weren’t gay. Gay people aren’t oversexed maniacs. Hell, look at this blog. Most sex blogs aren’t written by gay men or women.

Sorry for the rambling, un-sexy post, my friends. I hope you’ll comment with some of your own thoughts on homosexuality.

A 22-year-old carnival worker blames two friends having sex in the back seat of his car for an accident in which the car struck a telephone pole…read more here.

I tell you one thing…I’d like to be a crash test dummy in any company who’s going to research the truth behind this accident report.

Hm…I wonder what else wild sex might cause…

“Sorry this report is late, Mr. Boss. My co-workers were talking about wild sex and it distracted me.” -Me, at work

“Reports of a catastrophic earthquake in California are being investigated. The cause? Police think that too many people were having wild sex at once.” -News Ancor

“Bush to Send More Troops to the Middle East to Control Wild Sex.” -Newspaper headlines

“We’re loud and annoying because we don’t get enough wild sex.” -the ladies of The View

“We’re in a good mood because we’re getting lots of wild sex, so let’s cut the interest rates.” - the Feds

“I wasn’t holding a gun. The plaintiff is having wild sex to bribe witnesses and alter evidence.” -OJ Simpson

“I was just trying to have wild sex…” -Senator Craig (wait a minute…)

Can you add to the list?
