Something to think about, from the “let’s listen to men” features on anal sex, sent to me by reader Anne.
“Part of the fun is trying to convince her why she should at least try it. If she’s too willing, though, then she’s probably not the type of girl you want to meet your mom.”
- Jon, 42, Woodinville, Wash.
How can he be so sure his mom isn’t that type of girl?

I have to admit, I finally played one of those Rock Band things over Thanksgiving, and found it hella-boring (even with Wave of Mutilation and Mississippi Queen in the rotation). I see that somebody we both respect kind of got the same feeling. However, I discovered I have a Houston-area cousin who works at a discount-granting video game store, so…. well, who am I kidding? My Xbox 360 is busted anyway. Back to the Sega Genesis.

We finally got the Playstation III. Now, all that there is missing is Rock Band. But, we won’t be able to try it out until December 25.
Anyways, My Random Ten:

Because, god forbid a woman enjoyed having sex. Those women are sluts.
I will never understand this type of person, or the twisted idea that you wouldn’t want to be with a partner who wants to do the same things you do. Clearly this guy just gets off on coercion. It has nothing to with sex (anal or otherwise).
Amanda, did you see that Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney reviewed Rock Band for Slate?

5. Haunted When the Minutes Drag — Love & Rockets
6. Child of Darkness II — Bedemon
7. Centralia — Jucifer
8. Balalaika Gap — Camper Van Beethoven
9. Caucasian Walk — Virgin Prunes
Because even if mom is that type of girl, she wants better for her son. She’s internalize the slut shaming and doesn’t want her future daughter-in-law to be a nasty ho too.
But there’s more to it than just that. Why the hell is anyone still interested in finding a partner mom and dad approve of rather than a partner they love? I thought we didn’t do arranged marriages in this country anymore.
The quote isn’t just anti-women and anti-consentual-sex, it’s also anti-love.
Right now and most of the time, that’s my favorite Who song. Something to aspire to.
There was a Van Hagar live version where Eddie Van Halen did the keyboard part on guitar.

My sons haven’t started dating yet, but I am completely positive that once they do, I will not even once for even a tiny portion of a second, ever wonder if (a) they are having anal sex with the girl they are introducing me to or (b) how enthusiastic she was to try it when they first suggested it to her. Just, I’m really Completely 100% Sure about this.

“Right now and most of the time, that’s my favorite Who song. Something to aspire to.”
Definite favorite of mine, always kept on my MP3 player (only 2GB so sometimes old stuff gets displaced by new).
It’s really impressive how many classic Vietnam-era songs about the inhumanity, cruelty, and evil of war and government oppression are still valid under our Reichwing overlords. A few other favorites of mine:
The Who - “Baba O’Reilly”
Buffalo Springfield - “For What It’s Worth”
Creedence Clearwater Revival - “Run Through The Jungle”
“Fortunate Son”
“Who’ll Stop The Rain”
Black Sabbath - “War Pigs”
More recently (post-Vietnam):
Dead Kennedy’s - “California Über Alles” (despite dated references to Jerry Brown…)
“Holiday In Cambodia”
“Kill The Poor”
“Chemical Warfare”
Megadeth - too numerous to name
Rush - many songs with dystopian themes that have thoughtful lyrics…

and, it doesn’t matter if my boyfriend sees this- he’ll just laugh- at me. “Oh, yeah…just because that one time in Lawrence back in the nineties, she locked eyes with you… ha, whatever- no chance”.
he probably wants a life-commitment from her, as well, for all I know…
I’m tempted to give this a shot, but as usual I’m listening to game soundtracks and don’t want to deal with the ridicule on a Friday. So…

Mighty & Nor: Yeah, I saw that. I can’t blame her for finding it boring, since she’s in, you know, an actual famous rock band. She has no cause to fantasize about what she can get by picking up the phone and booking a show.
Eric, he made his feelings clear—anal is only fun if the woman under you is miserable. It might not be legal coercion, but if someone is performing a sexual act they hate, a level of coercion is in play. He might have threatened her to get her technical consent, or mocked her, but he made it clear—the woman who wants it ruins the fun for him, which is the getting her to do it against her will. Also, women who want sex are not fit for polite company. Interestingly, he claims that he wants anal sex, but is not afraid to present himself to his mother, which is a standard issue double standard. Also, he’s made it clear that nothing a woman can do will be right by him. Don’t have it? He’ll badger and mock you until you give in. Love it? You ruin it for him. Give in to his demands reluctantly? Well, he might feel you’re suitable for mama, but you’ve just sacrificed your dignity, which is what I suspect is the point.
i miss the cat picture! i also have a cat question: anyone have a kitten who’s fascinated by water, to that point that she plays with her water dish and eventually breaks it? That’s what mine did this morning. *sigh* i don’t get it.

Re the top patagraph Amanda, as a man who has been round the block more times than the paperboy’s bike, I look at it this way.

To be fair, I spent so much time looking at my corner of the screen that I didn’t get much of an appreciation for the interaction with whatever grungy audiences they conjured up. Are there any stage divers or people doing the Skinhead Stomp?
Eh, Ian, anal sex is a lot of fun if you’re doing it for the right reasons. For people who don’t hate women, anal play is popular because—hold onto your hat—women like it. Lots of nerves back there, etc.
I wonder, Ian, do you expect your partner to perform oral sex? There was a time when that was considered an act only gay male prostitutes would perform. Enjoying acting gay?
I should add that this was in the “Do’s and Don’ts of Sex”http://www.glamour.com/sexmen/articles/2007/11/dosdontsofsex”>from the November issue of Glamour (that’s the online outtakes version). No commentary was provided to accompany the quote.
…Dammit. The link.
Eric, you should really take a look at this post for the context here.
1) Arcade Fire, “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)”
2) 10,000 Maniacs, “Among the Americans”
3) The Mountain Goats, “Going to Hungary”

6) Avey Tare, “Judy Biworker”
7) Home, “Industry 2000″
8) Courtney Love, “Disappearing Lessons”
9) Fleetwood Mac, “Save Me a Place”
10) Sleater-Kinney, “Sold Out”
Ian, please disabuse yourself of the notion that anal play is strictly a “gay” activity. It’s a universal bit of anatomy. Some people find it pleasurable, while others don’t, and that division doesn’t break down along gay/straight lines. There are plenty of gay people who don’t have anal sex, and plenty of straight people who do. There are plenty of both varieties who enjoy playful stimulation without penetrative sex. It has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

Dr. Hermione Granger, PhD,
Don’t know the age of your cat or how long you’ve had it but when I first got my current companion, he would pat the water in the bowl to “break it up.” I figured it was something he had done as a stray to puddles before drinking out of them.
Magis,
I do have a somewhat chequered background (but never got caught). One of the best concerts I ever attended was It’s A Beautiful Day opening for Free when I was in college. But I’ve been listening to their music since they first came out
Taking no position on anal sex random ten:
1. Der Vogelfanger bin ich ja, The Magic Flute–Mozart, conducted by Herbert von Karajan
2. Don’t Forget to Mess Around–Louis Armstrong and His Hot Fives

6. Little Fishes–Brian Eno
7. My Melancholy Baby–Ella Fitzgerald
8. Reels–MacIsaac & MacIsaac

10. What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted–Jimmy Ruffin
“Little Fishes” is from my favorite album ever–Another Green World. I loved it 32 years ago when I bought it, and I still love it.
And the Reels are by the greatest Cape Breton fiddler ever (with all due respect to the McMaster family)–Ashley MacIsaac, with his brother Dave on guitar.
Oh please. Amanda already smacked you down quite nicely, but I can’t let this pass without comment. It’s obvious from the guy’s statement that a woman actually being interested in having (anal) sex with him ruins the experience for him (or at least ruins the woman in his eyes). He’s not interested in anal sex, he’s interested in dominating a woman and getting her to do things she isn’t interested in doing. That has nothing to do with persuasion.
There are a number of reasons I would want to have anal (or any type of) sex with my girlfriend, chief among them because it would be exciting, erotic and pleasurable for her. There’s nothing wrong with asking your partner to try something new, but, if you actually like your partner, you’re asking because you want to learn a new way of pleasuring them. The only outcome you could possibly be hoping for would be an enthusiastic response from your paramour. If you’re hoping for begrudging acquiescence with an admission that your partner isn’t really interested/doesn’t find said act pleasurable, then you weren’t realy interested in that act in the first place. You were interested in coercing/hurting someone to prove your dominance.
Our cat, Moo, seems sort of afraid of the water dish. I’ve never seen her pat at it, but she usually snaeks up on it and stares into it for a long time before drinking from it. I don’t know if she sees her reflection, or what. I’ve also turned around in the shower a number of times to see her peeking around the curtain with a look of utter confusion on her face.
Man, seeing that Courtney Love/Hole video again makes me realize: is there anyone out there at all who DOESN”T think this song was written by Kurt? Sheesh, it’s practically a Nirvana cover…

What an ASSHOLE!!! (Pun intended.)
Richard,
My cat (Luna) is 6 mths. I have seen her pat the water, but usually she pushes the dish across the kitchen floor inches at a time, spilling the contents and not drinking any water. Sometimes i think it’s just a “water phase” since she also drinks from the shower floor, plays with dishes in the sink, and naps in the sink when it’s empty.
i’m experimenting with tupperware water dishes now to see if she just had a thing for the sound of the ceramic bowl. I told her she’ll get a real dish when she’s old enough and responsible enough not to play with it. And then Mr. Granger laughed at my trying to reason with a cat.
“Part of the fun is trying to convince her why she should at least try it. If she’s too willing, though, then she’s probably not the type of girl you want to meet your mom.”
See, I find this nuts. Aside from the disgustingly misogynist tone about coercing your partner into the deed; I simply don’t understand the sentiment that a person who is enthusiastic about participating in sex isn’t a good choice of partner, and therefore someone to meet your parents.
Like, is this guy afraid that a girl like that and his mom would hook up, or what ?
What relevance does a happy sexual relationship with one’s partner have to do with them being suitable for meeting your folks ? I personally wouldn’t have brought a woman-belittling asshole home to my folks- they’d have hit the roof and asked me what I was doing with my life. As long as your parents aren’t going to check her hymen (in which case, you all have bigger problems), you’d think an ideal partner would be somebody who actually wants to have sex with you.
Nutty.
“I’ve also turned around in the shower a number of times to see her peeking around the curtain with a look of utter confusion on her face.”
Mothworm, my dog used to drink from the shower when I was in there. I would be lathering, and the next thing I know this big, black snout would bump up against my calf. Kinda disconcerting. Crazy mutt, I miss her.

Ironically, any guy who would try to use relative willingness for anal sex as a litmus test like that could easily qualify as being proof of the possibility of rectal gestation
Late to the party as always, but I still want to throw in.
Say, does this have to do with that whole tradition of projecting one’s lusts onto the other, of wanting the woman to be a slut so all the dirty, dirty sex will be her fault?It kind of makes sense–if the woman doesn’t want the anal sex, then the man’s lusts go unsatisfied. If the woman does want the anal sex, then the man’s lusts are revealed to himself, and he has to be disgusted by them.
One might suggest that the man in question should accept his own sexual desires rather than loathing them… but that’s just crazy talk, right?

“Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames”
A guy at work introduced me to Dragonforce. He did this in a mocking way because the stuff is so ’80’s hair metal. (He also introduced me to Lordi at the same time…)
Now I don’t know if I should embrace him as a friend with a good sense of humor, or reject him as a former friend who didn’t respect the limits of human endurance…
They did that show at Live 8 without their regular rhythm section and it sounds a bit off. Compare it to this years show at Glastonbury. With Pino Palladino and Zak Starkey they’re back to being one of the best live shows anywhere. Just insanely tight and powerful performances. This version of Who Are You puts the burned out Moon studio version to shame.
Eh, I like Teenage Wasteland a lot better.
I’ve heard that the drum heads on the Rockband drums aren’t as durable as the company expected and they’re already having to do replacements. Also some people are having issues with the Stratocaster controller, and the company is working furiously on getting the 360 to recognize all the Guitar Hero III controllers. No word yet for the PS3 people.
I don’t use the Stratocaster that came with the game, but the Gibsons from III, and they work just great. Plus, with two wireless guitars, we don’t need the funky plug-in to play all 4 instruments at once.
“Eh, I like Teenage Wasteland a lot better.”
…not to be an old fart, but the actual name of the song is Baba O’Riley…
Hmm. I can’t tell if that means that you do or don’t like Dragonforce. I am, however, fully aware of how ridiculous they are. This does not stop them from being awesome.“I can’t tell if that means that you do or don’t like Dragonforce.”
I’m not sure myself…
Easier said than done, grendelkhan.
If one feels that society will be disgusted by what they do or want to do, if they grow up hearing people express disgust or contempt for people who engage in certain acts, it seems inevitable that they will loathe themselves if it turns out that they have a desire to engage in said acts. I speak from experience.
Also, sorry for the double post earlier. “Say Yeah” is one of the best Motley songs that you’ve likely never heard and can be found on the collections “Supersonic and Demonic Relics” and “Music to Crash Your Car to: Vol. 2″. (I find it kind of surprising that they’d use that album title, given that Vince Neil was in a car crash that took the life of his friend, but whatever.) Or you can download it, like I did.
“Man, seeing that Courtney Love/Hole video again makes me realize: is there anyone out there at all who DOESN”T think this song was written by Kurt? Sheesh, it’s practically a Nirvana cover…”
Errr. The supposed Svengali at this point was Billy Corgan (Kurt being unavailable) and this sounds a lot more like Pumpkins than Nirvana to me. I can’t think of a Nirvana song that had guitar as precise-sounding as this one.
Whichever, I kinda like the song. For the mid-to-late 90s it stacks up okay against the Seven Mary Threes,* Tonics and Veruca Salts of the world.
*Except their album that had no hits that I actually liked.
Because if his mom enjoyed sex, then he may not be the son of God he always thought he was. (Seriously, if one thinks of one’s parents as asexual, one can conclude that one’s conception was a sacrifice made by one’s parents out of love for their future child, and never merely an afterthought.)
I’m not sure that, in this context, the distinction has much of a difference; how can one fetishize “persuasion” and not coercion? Making it about “the chase,” about making the transition from unwilling to willing, means it’s not really about the partner. I suppose at its best, one can distinguish between attitudes of “she’s willing to do something she doesn’t enjoy for me; that must mean she really loves me!” and “I got one over on her.” But they’re both objectifying, narcissistic attitudes.
Maybe some folks who claim to enjoy “persuasion” feel that what they enjoy is broadening other folks’ horizons, but I still find this a bit creepy if they can’t enjoy the act with someone whose horizon doesn’t need broadening. It’s a virgin fetish.
