Senator Craig
Here I am at work reading social commentary on the subject when Craig has been at work perusing websites describing the best public restrooms to seek anonymous gay sex. Upon hearing about such websites, several thoughts came to mind:
-is this decided by voting, or is it like some Men's Health contributor giving a top ten of his personal favorite gyms
-does Minneapolis consider these kinds of ratings when determining the customers enjoyment of their visit to the Minneapolis-St Paul region?
-are the people just meeting there, or are they having sex in the bathroom. If the latter, is it anal, oral, or merely fondling under the clothes? Regardless, I cannot fathom the attraction of sex acts in a public restroom...don't you realize what most people are doing in there?
-do lesbians bother with this sort of rating? Part of me doubts it, but I still haven't gotten astraight clear answer on whether lesbians rate boobs the way straight men do
-I have yet to find the appropriate website, but I'm certain it would tell me that my bedroom is the best place for unanonymous sex with my wife...perhaps I should generate a list.
-Regardless, public restrooms would not be on the list, particularly because I now associate the restrooms at the Minneapolis airport as a place where I argue with my daughter over whether or not she needs to go pee (She does need to pee...but she's frightened of the cut-out in the toilet seat and has a remarkably springy bladder)
-on a more somber note, why was it a misdemeanor. Exactly how much 'lewd behavior' do you need to demonstrate to get arrested? I assume they can't stop you and fine you for starting to jaywalk until, say, both your feet are in the street. Perhaps it gets you stopped when you reach your hand under the divider (for the bathroom sex misdemeanor, not jaywalking).
-Yes, I find the whole matter titillating, but I want to hear more gay-friendly voices discussing the entrapment angle
-I was just in the bathroom now and had someone in the stall next to me. I didn't know who they were (couldn't recognize the shoes) but was considering tapping my foot to try to get a laugh. Some people at my work would have busted out laughing, others would have been offended, and others might have taken it as a serious solicitation...so I held back.
As Lipby pointed out to me, we (straight men) are confused when it comes to the nuts and bolts of other people's sexuality. As you can see, thinking about it has piqued my curiosity. As I drove home down Kelly Drive, watching some of the joggers, I had to wonder about whether gay men and straight women barely notice the jogging women they way I pass over the ROTC guys like poor TV reception. Are there people who are genuinely uninterested in looking at any of the people (sexually disinterested, not because you are a cautious driver)? Also, how scrambled does the sex need to be for you to loose interest? When I was younger, I could deal with Picasso porn but drew the line at purely aural sex.
Now I'll post this and have no one comment, leave me hanging out like a freak. Go ahead, enjoy humiliating me.
