Objectivist Sex No-Nos

Brian Doherty | February 8, 2005

Childish, offensive, but mostly pretty funny: Jason Roth's "25 Most Inappropriate Things an Objectivist Can Say During Sex." Would have been equally funny, I think, as the "25 Most Appropriate..." as well.

This may date me but that wasn't as good as Spy magazine's "50 or so things to say when you can't get an erection by Gilbert Gotfried"

May favorite was "Goddamn Qadafi!"

I think my favorite along these lines was Steven Pinker, in The Blank Slate, remarking on what strict behaviorists/Skinnerites say after sex: "It was great for you -- how was it for me?"

I think Nerve once had a position of the day called Galt's Gulch, but I cannot find it in their archives.

Oh, man. Some friends and I had a number of objectivist sex metaphors at one point. A bunch of stuff about skyscrapers and the train going in the tunnel...

Quite funny, but I agree it should read "Things most often overheard when objectivists have sex".

I think that I was first directed to savethehumans.com by Reason before. Is this a duplicate story? Anyway you can really have some fun and waste some time reading through Jason Roth's website. He's a funny, opinionated MFer.

I laughed out loud when I read "We need a constitutional amendment to keep the sacred institution of marriage solely between a man and a woman and the government." in the "12 Things I learned from the State of the Union Address."

My web filters at work blocked the site because it fell under the websense category "Tasteless."

Sounds about right.

In college, an objectivist friend and I used to refer to getting laid as "expressing my values." As in, "Man, I'm tired. My girlfriend and I were up expressing our values all night."

I've since recovered from doctrinaire objectivism, thank Galt.

"I appreciate the thought, but I consider it an act of self sacrifice for you to swallow."

That's sort of an altruistic thing to say, isn't it?

Laughed myself silly at his website, including his characterization of libertarians (scroll down the page): http://www.savethehumans.com/culturebashing/outbursts/real_you/index.shtml

Not accurate, but wickedly funny.
