Special Issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine. (The
full text is available behind a short anonymous online survey.)

Lincoln Outed. It's a subject that has been
discussed before (hopefully not here), but in "The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln," to be published next month by Free Press, C.A. Tripp, a psychologist, influential gay writer and former sex researcher for Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey, tries to resolve the issue of Lincoln's sexuality once and for all. The author,
who died in 2003, two weeks after finishing the book, subjected almost every word ever written by and about Lincoln to minute analysis. His conclusion is that America's greatest president, the beacon of the Republican Party, was a gay man.

No sex, please, we're Republicans. At the dawn of a digitised, globalised millennium, these creeps want the clocks turned back to a time when the church held sway over our sexuality. They prefer us ignorant and terrified, alone in the dark, the better for them to control us through fear and guilt. Too bad for them that we live in the bright, vivid light of our incandescent dirty dreams.

Alfred Kinsey: Liberator or Pervert? (New York Times link, I hope you know the drill by now.)
A newish movie explores the life of
Alfred Kinsey, sex researcher and founder of the
Kinsey Institute.
Kinsey was author of the controversial book
Sexual Behavior In The Human Male. The controversy has blossomed oh these many years later with accusations that Kinsey's work is
fraudulent, and conducive to
child based porn and fantasy. The ultra-right seems obsessed with
sexualizing his research in terms of "protecting the children". His observations have been linked to the
addictive, destructive nature of pornography, that twists our notions of sex and love, and even enables the sexual abuse of college students in class. (Yeah, I know, that last sounds kinky, doesn't it?)
