saint_monkeyif you successfully acquired an STD, you get an "A."
as mystery put it, this is what you get when you set out to study male sexuality.
on a serious note, i took an interesting and informative class on "the psychobiology of women" (yes dad, i realized the implicit joke in the title right away.. "the PSYCHO biology of Women.") and I wondered why they didn't have a "psychobiology of men" class. I never thought that it would degenerate into something so... well... crass. I actually thought that it would be an ill advised class because it would be so short. (i mean, what more is there after "Day One: The Penis.") In any case, getting a bunch of men together and asking them to celebrate or explore their psychobiology apparantly leads to lewd acts and strip clubs. This whole "PC backlash thing" (led by shrewdly self-marketing radio guru Tom Leykis,) isn't doing anything to make men look any better IMHO. But in thier defense, it does seem like a little bit of media-hype going on, as one fellow puts it in the hyperlinked BBC article "If this had happened after an anthropology party, nobody would be making a big deal out of it." So true, that reminds me, i have to go get the film developed from the last "Anthropology Party" i went to.
