The Plot Against Sex
"Elsewhere in "Kinsey," we watch desperate students pepper their professor with a series of uninformed questions: "Can too much sex cause cancer? Does suppressing sex lead to stuttering? Does too much masturbation cause premature ejaculation?" Though that sequence takes place in 1939, you can turn on CNN in December 2004 and watch Genevieve Wood of the Family Research Council repeatedly refuse - five times, according to the transcript - to disown the idea that masturbation can cause pregnancy."

Meanwhile, things continue apace. I still don't have my bank account back, but they said 24 to 72 hours, and it's only been 25 hours, so just because Citibank didn't meet my irrational optimism is no reason to panic. Hopefully informative and positive meeting at work later, and other things sorting out. But it's all so bloody uncomfortable.
