Fresh Loaf

Creative Loafing’s newest columnist, Michael Alvear, aka the Sexorcist, comes to the aid of a girl in Stockdale about the eternal issue of condom-or-no-condom:

Dear Sexorcist:
Condoms sometimes make my boyfriend go limp the second he puts them on, so he’s insisting I go on the pill. I’m like, no way. Why should I take something that’s going to fuck up my hormones, make me gain weight and possibly put me at risk for cancer just because he can’t get used to a little rubber? He’s pissed off that we’re not having much sex and I’m resentful that all of the burden falls on me. On top of that, he thinks he’s being fair and balanced. How do we settle this?
— Stumped in Stockdale

Read how Alvear answers S.I.S. in his latest column.

No stranger to sticky subjects, Alvear will answer all your sex and relationship questions, which you can submit anonymously at clatl.com/sex. And meet the Sexorcist in person at CL’s Very Sexy Holiday Party at Halo Lounge this Friday! (Facebook invitation here)

Happy sexing!

No, really, but Obama did name a new CDC director today. He’s New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Frieden! His department came up with the awesome (really) idea to distribute subway-themed condoms. He sounds like a hellraiser and we welcome him to our city!
