In the lounge...

What is the deal with this guy? Why is anyone particularly interested in his escapades? Are these talks somehow linked to his profession?

Yes, that's exactly what they are. He's a writer and he has a column giving relationship and sex advice. He also started the "It Gets Better Project", if you don't know what that is DC, I give up

He's best know (AFAIK) as The Onion AV Club sex columnist.

I think he got his start in Seattle's "The Stranger" newspaper. He's still there and lots of others, too, by now.

Making sex talk like this a banality is a horrible trend...

Why?

In a cave, and I don't mean a hole in the ground.

It's generally poor taste to laboriously dispense details about one's sexual escapades.

Revering those who eagerly and enthusiastically chase after sexual thrills lends to the belief that this type of behaviour is desirable. An anthropological detachment from the novelty of this kind of talk is lost on most people.

While there's nothing intrinsically wrong about discussing sex, one easily finds many civilizations where overt sexualism has been detrimental. Sex talk fine, idolizing and trivializing sex is dangerous.

This probably comes off as being a stuck-up old fart's opinion (I'm actually in my early twenties), but consider how the environment we have today has gives children the urge for intercourse even before they are physically ready for sex. We've allowed ten year old girls and boys to be perfectly comfortable in a world where hypersexualisation is normalcy.>> ^SveNitoR:
