Strange e-mails in Blogistan

I was warned that writing about sex would result in strange e-mails. I did not realise quite how strange however. Jay Driver wrote in a looooong e-mail:

I gather from your post about that Australian kid that you have been a prostitute yourself. I can understand who you might be pissed that people would say [you were] demeaned

As judging from the whole e-mail the remarks were obviously meant in all innocence, I am not insulted, but no Jay… I also have views on Formula One racing, why Christy Turlington is the best supermodel ever and the problem with Spanish politics. I have never driven a race car, I am not a model and I have never actually been to Spain.

I was surprised that Natalija would lash out ay anyone troubled by supply 15 yr. olds with access to a prostitute. Is it really prudish to worry about this?

Fifteen year old dying boy, Kevin. To deny him a basic human experience because someone else has a problem with casual physical intimacy, yes I would have to say that is prudish. Also heartless.

You trying to be the slavic Camile Paglia, honey? I think you’re looking for some adventures and if you think if you piss us off enough we will spank you. You might be right. Send me a pic and rock my world, Lipstick.

Hmmmm. For once words fail me.

I always find your writing exciting and interesting and stimulating and when you write about sex it is obvious you have tried things […] You really will not regret meeting me as I am also well educated and can provide you with intellectual stimulation as well. As you will be just up the road from me, you should call me on [phone number] and we can chat

Sorry Gavin, but you really really really need to go back and re-read that article I wrote about Christmas again… in it I told you I was going to be driving to Vienna in Austria not Vienna in Virginia. The fact I mentioned I was spending Christmas with my family in rural Croatia should have given you a hint I was not ‘just up the road’ from you.

Blogging is… interesting.
