Got Sex?
It’s an indicator of how male-dominated our society is that the fact that women have diminishing libidos and don’t seem to care that much about it is treated as the problem, when in fact it’s merely the symptom of a larger problem–that women feel overworked, underpaid, underappreciated, understimulated, and shamed about their bodies.

The Brown Bunny
Man goes on long road trip with a motorcyle in the back of his van. Makes out with various women along the way named after flowers. In the end, he gets a not-very-good blowjob from his dead ex (yes, he has lovely boy parts, but it just wasn’t worth an hour and twenty minute road
Quote of the Day

Buy Me "Love"
Fantastic documentary about Japanese “host bars” where women go to pay men to entertain them (and certainly, sometimes, more). You really should watch the whole thing. I thought the film maker did a great job exploring a number of the complexities involved in this kind of work from the perspective of the hosts and clients
