Success and physical discomfort have never been so explicitly correlated as they are in the lives of young women today. (Text possibly NSFW)

Shave that nasty pubic hair off and turn over, love.

I tell you, I wonder about young men today. I really do. Maybe it's something in the water.

Is this where I get to say that I'm tired of people who have clearly never done X pontificating about why anyone would possibly do X?

This article made me laugh out loud. An entire generation, fucked in the ass... is this an OWS thread?

How nice that the pull quote of the inflammatory Jezebel piece was used to make a link to it from Metafilter.

This is awfully prissy coming from someone who teaches college-level gender studies. If he feels that anal porn is the most painful-looking porn out there, then he hasn't seen much porn.

The notion that porn performers' actual level of agony (as well as ecstasy) could possibly be, shall we say, simulated, also seems lost on this writer.

Did anyone else read the comments on the Jezebel article? Even if he's clean and not a horrible person now, this author is not someone I want to have claiming to know anything about other human beings, much less women, much less an entire generation. What a creep. And to think he's monetizing off of this stuff...
