Whim's Place

Issue # 37

August 1, 2004

 

I have one question today.  With luck, I will ponder it all day and not come up with any others.  Thinking tends to give me a headache. 

Something about the topic and that last paragraph is definitely wrong.  I'll think about it later.

So, here it goes.  The internet is filled with sex related sites.  Everything from straight porn to sex advice to how to find sex to disgusting porn that I wish I had never run across because I may never have sex again after seeing it.  Don't tell my husband.  He is still under the delusion we will have sex again after the children leave home.  Only sixteen more years to go!

Where are all the anti-sex sites?  I am not talking the abstinence-because-we-are-holding-out-until-the-right-one-comes-along sites, because in truth, those are just long bouts of foreplay and self-gratification sites.  No.  I mean the sites created by mostly women, I'm guessing here, who never have understood what the big deal is and are proud to be happy without sex.

I want to read about the mother of ten who finally says that's it.  We tried timing, birth control pills, condoms, patches, and sponges.  Now, I'm doing what my mom always told me to do.  I'm keeping my legs crossed.  I don't want to read about the lesbians who have turned sour on men, but the women who find the whole experience yucky and barbaric.  Who not only think babies should come from test tubes, but sex is the root of all evil and have vowed to end the evil, one person at a time. 

Yeah, I want to read about the hardcore non-sexist!  Gimme a change of pace.  Give me no sex online!

The Lucy Lediaev Contest

The moment you all have been waiting for!  Yeah, I know.  I have an overdeveloped sense of self-importance.  It could be worse.  I could be running for public office and bombarding your TV with annoying commercials instead, but I digress.

The winner of the Lucy Lediaev contest is Kevin Moss

Kevin is a software/electronics developer form Tulsa, OK. After a 20-year hiatus from writing to pursue a passion for computers and electronics, he has recently started writing again. When he isn’t hustling for software work, he is writing. Kevin’s forte is speculative fiction short stories, but he hopes to finish his first novel soon.

When asked how he felt about his auspicious win, Kevin had this to say:  "As someone who put off their writing career off for 20 years, I say to anyone wants to write as a living, ‘Put in the time to get your thoughts down on paper. A few hours a week could make the difference between being published and wondering if you could be published.’"

Congratulations Kevin!
