The Rapiest Quotes From “I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell”
Last month, Tucker Max’s cross-country movie premiere tour hit Raleigh, where students from the North Carolina State Women’s Center were on hand to protest the screening. Max’s people, predictably, had some anti-feminist fun with it, and posted the video online. In the video, Max sends out his minion to interview the protesters while masquerading as a gay Duke student writing a thesis on “the linguistics of rape culture.” Of course, anyone actually interested in the linguistics of rape culture need only watch “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” to figure out what it sounds like. Basically, there are a lot of references to “cum dumpsters.”

Amish Romance Novels Provide Stolen Kisses, But Not “Women’s Rights”
Meet the hottest new women’s fiction subgenre: the Amish romance novel. Seeing as “the church has traditionally viewed fiction as distracting and deceitful,” the Wall Street Journal reports, Amish romances are largely written by non-Amish women, for non-Amish women. These so-called “bonnet books,” essentially, are romance novels for modern women who want to live vicariously through an Amish character’s modest romantic transgression against her religious community. So while the books routinely defy Amish sensibilities in plot—they generally involve “an Amish character who falls for an outsider”—they remain extremely sexually conservative. In one popular book, Cindy Woodsmall’s “When the Heart Cries,” the forbidden couple “actually kiss a couple of times in 326 pages.”

FOX 5: Prostitutes “Too Gross To Describe,” Speak To
For two weeks, FOX 5 trained “secret cameras” on the intersection of 11th & K NW in an attempt to catch sex workers in the act. FOX 5’s investigation revealed “ladies of the night hitting the streets in broad daylight.” But while reporter Tisha Thompson’s work included the requisite indignant neighbors, official police commentary, and the money shots (sex workers adjusting their underwear), there was one thing FOX 5 couldn’t get: a comment from one single sex worker. How demeaning is this segment? Let me count the ways:

Ghostface Killah “On Wife-ing Hoes”
Goddammit:
In the backwaters of Central Florida, they call this “making a woman honest.” Or maybe it’s “making an honest woman.” Either way, Ghostface Killah is upsetting lots of people with this hip-hop interpretation of relationships, titled How To Be A Huge Dick.

MVC Late Night Video Sees the Light of Day
MVC, pre-makeover
Until very recently, motorists traveling along Leesburg Pike in Falls Church and shoppers at MVC Late Night Video, a sex shop that sits on that road’s busiest stretch, were blissfully unaware of each other.
Thanks to thick black tint that darkened MVC’s large front windows, folks looking for the latest adult DVDs, magazines, and sex toys could browse without fear of someone they know driving by and seeing them. Drivers could chug right past the nondescript building and pretend the place was just a regular ol’ video store that happened to stay open very, very late.
But a couple of months ago, the tint came off, and all of that changed. Drive by MVC today, and you’ll see a clear window filled with mannequins dressed in lingerie, as well as rows and rows of DVDs. The store is separated from the street by a small service road, so you won’t get close enough to get a good look at the cover of, say, Team Squirt #10, but you might be able to make out the face of the person thinking about buying it.
D.C. Ranks Third in Sexual Frequency. But Is It Good?
According to the States of Pleasure survey released this month by Trojan, as in the condom, Houston residents have the most sex of anyone in the nation’s 10 largest metropolitan areas: 101 romps per year. Atlanta is second, at 88 (as reported here by a fellow Creative Loafing-owned alt-weekly). But you, District of Columbia, rank third, coming in at 86.
That – sex once every 4.244186 days – is the good news.
The bad news is that D.C. sex is less good than in six other cities: The rate of sexual satisfaction among District dwellers is 65 percent, putting it seventh in the rankings.

Doggie Style: A Sex Toy for Dogs
While my colleagues have been examining the economics of prostitution and perusing sex-shop wares – on your behalf, readers – I thought I’d turn my attention to something else: animal love. Or at least animal sex.
There’s been some of that going on at the National Zoo and its Virginia research facility, of course; the stork didn’t bring that baby gorilla or those clouded leopard cubs or the red panda or that endangered foal, if you know what I mean.
But let’s face it: Not everyone on four legs is getting some. Which, naturally, leads to sexual frustration. Like the kind often exhibited by dogs.
Care of the site ohmidog! comes word – and image – of the first sex toy for (male) canines: the DoggieLoverDoll.
Carolyn Zolbe is Praying for My Mom
Carolyn Zolbe, marcher in the March for Life and Arlington resident, thinks this about President Barack Obama: “I think he’s a child of God.”
Zolbe’s daughter, Grace Doherty, isn’t quite as neutral in her assessment:
Prolife Marcher Has Telegenic Prop
Many, many thousands of people have clustered on the Mall for the 36th Annual March for Life. If you’re putting on a demonstration, you, of course, must have a theme. In this department, the March for Life, well, it could use a wordsmith or two. Here it is, taken straight from the March’s Web site: “Remember—the Life Principles mean “Equal Care” with No Exceptions!” The site goes on to explain that the theme means simply that equal care must be provided to the pregnant mother and to her “preborn child.”
