This reminds me of one of my favorite jokes which is best told in a heavy Pittsburgh accent:
So I'm fuckin' this dude in the ass, right, and he says to me, he says, Hey buddy, can I get a little reach around? And I'm like, whaddareyou? Some kind of faggot?More pertinently, perhaps, I will suggest to Professor Delong that while the story makes Douthat an asshole, it doesn't make him quite such an asshole as if it had, in fact, occurred. I will suggest that the girl's identity is safe insofar as she isn't real.
Being a Homosexual™, this is rule number one for discerning The Truth in Your Friends' Accounts of Their Previous Night's Sexual Activities. Allow me to demonstrate:
Oh my god, last night I got fucked by this guy who no joke looked like a thinner Zach Quinto.False! As opposed to:
Oh my god, last night I was so drunk and I invited over some dude from Manhunt who turned out to be Steve from marketing! You know, the one with that voice.Believable!

I don't care if Douthat is gay (like we need another Andrew Sullivan!), but I doubt he is. Against the fag-baiting responses of many of M. Delong's commenters, I say that Douthat's reaction to the young woman's Be-Prepared attitude sounds like typical American straight-boy double-standard misogyny. I haven't worked at a major university for 35 years without learning anything about the straight male mind.
"So I wanted to have sex with this girl, and then all of a sudden, ewwwww, she wanted to have sex with me! Gaaaahhhd, women are such whores."
Wow, those comments are lousy. Jeez.
you mean, coitus?
I used to have a heavy Pittsburgh accent!
Yeah, he must have trimmed the start of that anecdote. I'm pretty sure it originally began "Dear Penthouse..."
Yeah, the comments there basically correspond to your example of "last night I got fucked by this guy who no joke looked like a thinner Zach Quinto." These boys are saying, roughly, "Wotta fag! Let me get at that bitch with my ever-hard, 12 pounding inches of dangling fury! She won't have anything to complain about from me!"
Maybe he just came in his pants, a la Kenny Powers..."I made a moral choice, when I stopped, April."
"Being a Homosexual" How can you tell? What's the clue?---pursed lips maybe?
