I am pleased to say

(having just been turned away as a non-subscriber from the Atlantic website--that's a magazine I phase in and out of subscribing to, about twice a year there's a cover story that makes me buy a newsstand copy & then I decide to subscribe since it's barely more than 2 x cover price & then I find myself not reading it at all and let it lapse...) that Caitlin Flanagan's essay about oral sex is fully available for free at the excellent Powell's review-a-day site. (That's a page to bookmark, they really do have good stuff that you can't get otherwise).

In short (it's a bizarre essay, worth a look), Flanagan admires Tipper Gore, finds blowjobs debasing. (Thanks to A. for alerting me to the essay's existence.)

  1. i empathize with you re THE ATLANTIC. I do the same thing regularly with THE NEW YORKER, FOREIGN AFFAIRS, THE ATLANTIC. I find i read many more books when not bogged down by the magazines that pile up, collect dust, and drive my wife almost to drink.
