He was not in fact considered the greatest lover of his … More Casanova Describes Losing His Virginity to Two Sisters

Every generation thinks they invented sex. Because of certain puritanical regulations laid down on early film and tv media, it’s easy to think of our ancestors as being prissy, frigid, and scared of sex. Nothing was further from the truth. Let’s not forget the same generation that went to fight the Nazis (The Greatest Generation) … More Presidential Sex Scandals- Warren Harding and the White House Coat Closet

Now while this statement should seem almost self-evident (it’s practically a tautology), I’ve noticed that the current trend in the traditional genres of escapism (Fantasy, Superhero, & Science Fiction) is for the work to become more and more preachy. As if they’re using the medium to talk down and “educate” the idiot masses. Sometimes it’s … More Escapist Literature Should be Mostly Escapism

Not that there was pro-syphilis propaganda during WWII, most military historians will tell you the number one killer of men during wartime was disease. The diseases attacked in these posters, syphilis and gonorrhea, were not life threatening in terms of the length of a war, but they were one of the top reasons men would … More Anti-Syphilis Propaganda from WWII

The use of prophylactics, like abortion, is an age-old tradition dating back to the root of civilization itself.

The sky is falling. The sky is falling. I’m no chicken little, but even I bought into the hype that hurricane Florence was gonna knock down my house. Living in Columbia, SC, we get about 4 to 5 warnings a year and 90% of the time it has turned out bogus or just a heavy … More On Waiting For the Flood That Never Came

Many of you might not be familiar with the name John Tanner (and I’m not talking about the famous Mormon here). Around the 18th century his family were pioneers in vast wildlands of Kentucky, when he was abducted by two Chippewa Indians. He was sold into slavery, battered about and abused in other ways for … More A Story of Native American Homosexuality

In the 15th Century, the ironically named Pope Innocent VIII upgraded the ill-defined sin of witchcraft to the level of a major heresy and ordered the Holy Inquisition to root it out and quash it. Up until then the Inquisition primary brief was to destroy pagan beliefs, Judaism, and Islam within the realms of Christian … More From the Inquisition’s Handbook: Witches Stealing Men’s Genitalia

  The last three of my Unspeakably Violent Jack cartoons. A bit of fun for my college day and more an attempt to poke fun at friends than any serious endeavor. Others have looked at them and had a few laughs, so perhaps you’d get a kick out of them as well.   Enjoy and … More Unspeakably Violent Jack II

  I’m sure most of you are more aware of Sylvester Graham’s bland creation than about the man himself. A Presbyterian Minister and the last of 17 children, he took a special interest in health and hygiene, both mental and physical. Indeed, in Graham’s mind you could not have one without the other.  As such, … More The Inventor of Graham Crackers Speaks Out Against Masturbation
