If you are a regular visitor to Sex Hysteria!, you have noticed that the articles have been coming less often. This is primarily due to the fact that I have more things to do than time to do them. I have thus made a decision to shed myself of some activities that will allow me to focus more time on others. This blog will remain open at least until the domain name expires, but I will no longer add to it.
I wish to thank my regular readers and those who took the time to contribute their own thoughts. I am very flattered to be in the midst of such honorable company.
Writing this blog has been an eye opening experience. While there are some cases of responsible reporting by the mainstream press on the topic of sex, the vast majority of such reporting is intentionally concocted to be sensationalistic in order to attract an audience. I used to think that kind of journalism was limited to the rags you see at the supermarket checkout stands, but the rationale has now fully infected almost all popular news sources in the U.S. Traditional news outlets, rather than searching for the truth, now find it much more profitable to cater to the angry mob, even creating an angry mob where otherwise none would exist as they did so effectively when they targeted CraigsList. Instead of being disinterested observers of events they now want to be part of the action and be actively involved in the making of news.
After producing this blog for only a year, I have come to understand that oppressive laws that target sexual activity are motivated by the same kind of prejudices that have been at the root of all persecution throughout history. It is driven by human hatred of those who are different. And it’s an equal opportunity affliction infecting both left and right.
The fact that you can be imprisoned for what you do on your own property with other consenting adults is tyranny. Democracy only means that your oppressor is the guy who lives next door rather than some dictator.
Without sovereignty over one’s own body, there is no freedom.
Dave, I for one am very sorry to see you go. I hope you’ll still continue to visit my blog!
I will probably still prowl the blog circuit some, but perpetually exposing one’s self to the kind of idiocy reported on by websites like ours, can wear you down after a while. I’ve actually considered swearing off of any news about politics and becoming part of the happy ignorant masses who live each day worrying only about their own immediate problems.
Sorry to hear it. If you had been more active in promoting your blog, you might have received more appreciation to encourage you to keep going. Advocating activism might be more stimulating than mere education. The possibility of profit (selling something) is also a great motivator.
Although I haven’t actively promoted my blog either, It’s satisfying to know that 1,500 people have visited it and possibly even read it. http://sexhysteria.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/premature-sexualization/
I hope you’ll be inspired to reconsider.
That’s a very sad news you gave.This place usually gives me some comfort and calms me down when all the hysteria that I see drives me crazy.But looks like this place of comfort is going down.
But I can also understand your position.Constantly doing this kind of thing can be both tiring and depressing.So I hope you are able to gain back some peace of mind.
I do however hope that you will continue every now and then when you feel comfortable,rather than permanently abandoning this blog.
Hey, I discovered your blog several months ago and have linked to it several times. Sorry to see you go, but I agree with everything you’ve said.
Maybe I can help carry it on in some way. Let me know.
All the Best.
Bill and Stephen,
Thanks for the kind sentiments and I appreciate the offer to help. At the moment, however, I cannot dedicate time to the site.
-Dave
While I can understand you not being able to put in new posts. I STRONGLY URGE you to do what ever you can to keep this domain name open. And leave what information you do have on the internet. It doesn’t cost much to keep a domain on the internet. OR put all your posts onto a Free blog site such as blogger.com or wordpress.com, Facebook, weebly, etc. Whatever you do DON’T let all your hard work disappear!!!!! KEEP THE OLD INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET – PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! USE A FREE SITE TO TRANSFER THE INFORMATION OR LEAVE UP THE DOMAIN OR LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE IT OVER. But, don’t throw away your hard work. IT IS IMPORTANT that the public see it on the internet. It makes a
a difference ever if you don’t think so.

Sex Trafficking/Slavery is used by many groups as a attempt to outlaw all prostitution around the world by saying that all women are victims even if they do it willing. This hurts any real victims because it labels all sex workers as victims.
This is done by the media, aid groups, NGO’s, feminists, politicians, and religious organizations that receive funds from the government. There are very strong groups who promote that all adult women who have sex are victims even if they are willing, enjoy it and go out of there way to get it. These groups try to get the public to believe that no adult women in their right mind would ever go into the sex business unless she was forced to do so, weather she knew it or not. They say that 100% of all sex workers are trafficking victims.
They do this in order to label all men as sex offenders and wipe out all consensual prostitution. Which is what their real goal is. There is almost no one who challenges or questions them about their false beliefs. Therefore, the only voices you hear are of these extreme groups. These groups want to label all men as terrible sex offenders for seeing a willing adult sex worker. No one stands up to say this is foolish, the passive public says nothing.
These groups even say that all men who marry foreign women are terrible sex predators who take advantage of these “helpless foreign women wives”.
These groups believe that two adults having consensual sex in private should be outlawed. Since they believe that it is impossible for a man to have sex with a woman without abusing the woman in the process.
Jeff,
Thanks for posting that. I watch Stossel regularly and look forward to seeing a show where prostitution is discussed. He’s touched on the topic in the past and did a pretty good job with it.
