Dancing, Idleness, And Anal Sex
Two tidbits today from the vast and tasty smorgasbord that is Panties Panties Panties. First, the anal sex. There’s a recent post called “Ass: The Gateway Drug“. The post combines plenty of prurient detail with an anal sex tip that’s not always found in those dry how-to articles; namely, that good humor is at least as important as the standard “use oceans of lube” advice. But it’s the title that amused me most. It reminded me of the ancient joke: “Why don’t [insert your favorite moralistic prigs here] have sex standing up? Because it could lead to dancing!”
Tidbit the second, nonsexual: In a spiritual echo of my recent slam against office work, Hiromi posted about idleness and wage slavery and included a vignette about soul-crushing commutes:
Today I was stuck in Austin rush hour traffic. Grey-faced, prune-lipped, baggy-eyed commuters with cell phones grafted to their heads crammed in their metal hutches inching along in the 105 degree heat. And for what?
Werk. Jaabs. Wage slavery.
Folks, the horrifying thing about all of this is that it’s voluntary; there are ways out of the rat race, but you have to look hard and perhaps be willing to give up (at least temporarily) some of the excellent pellets they feed you.

“SubGenius, is it a joke masquerading as a religion, or a religion masquerading as a joke?”
I must say that’s a very accurate description of people in Austin.
I grew up in the south, and the joke I heard was *specifically*:
“Why don’t Baptists have sex standing up? Because people might think they’re dancing.” This was jab specifically at the Southern Baptist Church, which prohibits dancing by its members (presumably because it might lead to sex, although from 5 minutes of Google research nobody seems to know for sure).
If you’ve never run into Southern Baptists, you probably didn’t know they prohibit dancing, which is probably how the joke got watered down to be comprehensible to most people.
Ah, but the joke is probably much much older than Southern Baptists or even the USA. I first heard it in the movie Rob Roy as applied to Calvinists; I can’t reliably source the joke to that historical era, but the Calvinists surely did disapprove of dancing.
Very few dirty jokes are less than five hundred years old, in some version or other.
Thanks for the link, Bacchus! The worst thing is when work interferes with sex (overwork, stress, etc.) .. someone out there’s probably depserate enough to call in a bomb-threat for their spouse just to get laid.
You know, someone ought to stick up for the puritans… I believe it was Garrison Keillor who once said that to really enjy sex, you need to have been repressed at some point.
OK, it’s an exaggeration, but I know some of my most exciting moments were when I was breaking out of the prisons of my upbringing.
