Denise Noe: The Madwoman Speaks!

Free Phone-Porn for Hemophiliacs? By Denise Noe One welcome development in an era in which sexually transmitted diseases are epidemic and at least one STD, AIDS, is life-threatening, is the proliferation of phone-sex lines since they provide disease-proof sexual relief. Conversing with a phone sex operator cannot transmit any STD in either direction nor can it result in an abortion or a baby born under unpromising circumstances Of course, phone sex services ARE expensive (and they are rightly off-limits to minors). It seems to me that there are good reasons to consider making phone sex services available for free to one small segment of the population. That segment is the hemophiliac population. Hemophiliacs use special blood products to stem the excessive bleeding characteristic of hemophilia. In the late 1970s-mid-1980s, many hemophiliacs were infected with HIV through these products. The National Hemophilia Foundation reports that there have been no new HIV infections thr...

Praising Maury Povich’s show Maury is often said to be trash TV and there is much that is worthy of criticism on the show. However, there are also good things about the program. My favorite Maury episodes are the paternity test shows. These are some of his most dramatic programs. They are also shows in which Maury displays a compassion for his guests that many observers are apt to dismiss as fake but which I see as genuine and as lifting these shows above pure sensationalism. Why is paternity so frequently in dispute? As Robert Wright, author of The Moral Animal has pointed out, monogamy is not a natural state for humans of either sex. That does not mean that monogamy cannot or should not be adopted as a discipline by members of both sexes. It is also true that the fact that a human female has a boyfriend or husband does not make her unattractive to other males. Unfortunately for clarity of paternity, it may even enhance her attractiveness to some males. Other f...
