Slog - Comments on Jane Magazine Pimps Desperate Virgin http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/08/jane_magazine_pimps Eww. According to the cover text, Sarah is a "funny, gorgeous" 29-year-old who "wants to lose her virginity by her 30th birthday in November." That gives the guys just two months to sweep Sarah off her (literal and metaphorical) feet. A few observations: 1. Eww. Has the post-feminist pendulum swung clear around, to the point that it's OK to whore yourself out via national fashion mag as long as you're "sex-positive" about it? 2. I have some doubts about Sarah's "prospects." (Their answers to Jane's "interview" questions are pretty laughable, although I wouldn't have much to say to questions like...

No, I blame it on that sticky "o" on her keyboard -- guys don't like women who spill Diet Coke on computer equipment.

Since so many guys are taking the "candlelight and romantic music" approach, I wonder if I can sneak in under the radar with the ol' "Cleveland Steamer followed by a furious fisting" approach?

The intelligent articles declined sharply and this crap increased accordingly. Bust is what Jane wishes it was.

second, the only virgins in this contest are the guys particpating.
third, this girl should be ashamed of herself behaving in this manner. auctioning off your virginity isn't "progressive" it's just sad.

Finally, if I had to pick, it would this be guy:

Jane was about the only such mag I could stomach leafing thru at the barbershop (Playboy has definitely had it's day).

I would really like to know. Is it that difficult for a relatively fit and attractive woman to find someone to have sex with?

She may be a sex virgin, but she's an attention whore.

Thank you Eric for helping us to fight the exploitation of women. My heart aches for this poor woman who is forced to be on the cover of a magazine because of her virginity.

My girlfriend buys Jane once in a while, always bemoaning the vapid shits on the cover (Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc) and the worsening content within, and then she keeps buying it once in a while. I can't remember the last time she came home with a copy of Bust or Bitch. I think there's a certain train-wreck attraction at work.

Of course, people can buy what they want in the capitalist marketplace, but Jane has gone from being an occasional critic of women's prescribed role in that marketplace to being basically another voice telling them to buy shoes so they can get dates. Too bad.

I wonder if she is a "technical" virgin?

Shit, I'm an asshole and a social ingrate, and even I lost my virginity way before now. I'm surprised she held off for this long if she wanted it that much.
