“Boys, of course you should be carrying condoms too, and you should insist on wearing one — even if she’s on the pill or you’re putting it in her butt.” — Nikol, Midwest Teen Sex Show Episode #4: Birth Control
I’m still reeling from the demise of the show, and still coming to terms with the fact that the Wet Spots refuse to tour further south than Vancouver. But, oh, ladies and gentlemen — when God closes a door, he opens a closet! I give you the Midwest Teen Sex Show, brought to you by our neighbors to the north:
It was a tough decision among the nine shows currently available on their site, but I think this one is a particularly tasty starter. Watch them all. Then watch them again. It’s not parody, it’s education; I plan on showing these videos to my children one day.
Spread the word. And do be sure to send some love their way.
Even if you find Kelly annoying, please give this one a chance, especially if you’ve never had a lesson in the finer points of lesbian sex conducted entirely in Spanish. Hilarious!
So, I’ve just gotten a bit of a theatre gig, and it’s good money and it fits into a gaping hole in my schedule, and everything’s peachy. (Keep reading…)
“When it comes to brains, you’ve got’em/but unless you play the bottom/I’m afraid I’m gonna have to take a pass” — The Wet Spots, “Do You Take It?”
As if we didn’t have enough reasons to love Canada.
Cass King and John Woods comprise the Toronto-based musical duo The Wet Spots, and are quickly becoming my favorite two people of all time. Sometime last year I caught their video for “Do You Take It?” as it made its rounds around YouTube and Myspace, and I’ve been hooked ever since. So this past holiday season, my home was filled not with the more traditional refrains of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and “Joy to the World,” but rather a rousing chorus of “Fist Me This Christmas.” Hallelujah!
I have yet to see them live, but I aim to. Meanwhile, I’m an avid reader of their blog, in which they provide rather candid details about their stage shows and the various hiccups along the road. I found this particularly interesting:
Being banned from every club in Santa Barbara, only to have the show rescued at the eleventh hour by the local Unitarian Church. Our audience that night in the assembly hall was about 50% local perverts and 50% bemused pensioners. But they all hollered back for the Masturbation Singalong Song, and one of them told us that The Wet Spots, in our own way, are a ministry. Delusions of grandeur and Al Jorgenson goatees here we come!
As for that last comment, I agree entirely. I personally believe our society would benefit greatly from a less puritanical approach to sex, not just in our discussion of it, but our practice of it as well. Don’t believe me? Take the Executive branch of our own federal government, for example. As we proud Americans know, a sexually satisfied President is a successful President. Just look at FDR. Or JFK. Or Bill Clinton.
At any rate, I’m on my way to buy the Wet Spots’ new release, Hello Kinky — you do the same. Until then, make sure you catch their interview on Radio Vulva and, while you’re at it, take a peek at this 3-minute quickie reel:
