Happy (?) Abstinence Day

We'd like to talk about a sensitive subject today, something we don't normally like to discuss in these parts very often—people not having sex. Since focusing on people who make a living fucking like bunnies is kind of what we do, it goes against our nature to even acknowledge the concept of abstinence, let alone trumpet the fact that today is apparently National Abstinence Day. (This pretend holiday is really just a lobbying push to save federal funding of abstinence-only education, which officially expires in June and which the new Democratic Congress has no intention of saving.) Of course, the dirty little secret of Fleshbot is that many folks turn to porn when circumstances mean that they're not having actual sex themselves, so we guess it behooves us to remember how much sex people aren't having in the real world and do what we can to help alleviate all that suffering and heartache. (Well, over and above what we usually do, that is.) So if you do choose to abstain today—or if you strike out at the bar tonight—we'll be here to help you thorough it. We're all in this together ... unless our next blind date works out, of course.
