Dr. Sex

The University of Toronto is starting what's being called the first graduate program in sexual diversity studies. In other words, they'll be issuing Ph.D.s in getting it on. I have mixed feelings about this new frontier in social science education. On the one hand, it will necessarily cheapen my famous barroom claim to have a doctorate in physical pleasure. On the other, cultural sexuality is arguably the most important field of social research, since all humanity for all time has been interlocking and/or interrubbing each other's genitals. But on a third, slightly disfigured mutant hand, I feel like I should be granted an honorary degree since I think about sex literally all the time. I even made an unintentional (honestly) penis pun during the science podcasting panel at Dragon*Con this past weekend. Luckily, Dr. Steven Novella understood that my "question about length" had to do with attention spans and not cocks. More details here.
