Religion George "Rentboy" Rekers Talks To Teens About Sex!
Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, May 5, 2010 at 2:25 PM
George "Lift My Luggage" Rekers has a website and a blog called "Teen Sex Today." Seriously. "Professor George" is giving sex advice to teenagers.
Why my blog on teen sex? As a doctor, I’ve talked to way too many teens who are downright angry at the rotten sex advice they’ve heard from adults. Hey, most adults give teens hardly any helpful information about sex in the first place. And then when so-called “experts” step forward to give sex advice, much of it is just flat wrong! Illogical and unscientific sex information can be found all over the Internet, on TV and radio, and even school books. Not only is this totally unfair, but I’ve had teen patients who have been physically and emotionally damaged by following the misleading advice from adults that teens expect to have the right answer.Teens deserve better! You want straight talk and straight facts from a real expert who really cares about what’s best for you!
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
Hey, you can send your teen sex questions—where can I rent a teen? how much do teens charge these days?—to "Professor George" at teensextoday@ProfessorGeorge.com. Remember, kids, he's an "expert"! And you can visit the Teen Sex Today's Facebook page and write all over his wall.
Thanks to Slog tipper Travis.

I take it his public "advice" consists of more than telling the boys, "okay, yeah, hold that position right there, up a little, okay, now stay just like that..."

Can we pass a law that prevents religious nutwads from adopting? Especially if they're so clearly self-loathing closet cases?

Dan, in response to your earlier post about "luggage lifters," it looks like the linguists are fighting on your side: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=…

okay, I'm dumb, but for a second I thought that the one with the website was the rentboy. I'm kind of disappointed now.

Earlier today you posted the following about Rekers. "Rekers—who adopted a 16-year-old boy himself four years ago (a boy who is now the same age as Geo)—believes that gay people shouldn't be allowed to adopt boys" I am curious what the source of this is. I have searched for about an hour for a primary source but mostly only find this being repeated in the comments sections of various other blogs.
I will say that one result said that Joe.My.God had dug up this 'fact' by doing a Facebook search but that the son when contacted declined to comment. But there is no such statement on Joe.My.God

The lead item on his "teen sex today" page right now is about the "Benefits of Forgiveness". Can't imagine why he'd want to be promoting *that* to his fundy followers right now, no siree. B^)

He's also got a blog, which now has the following post, right above "Should homosexuals be allowed to adopt children?"
MISLEADING INTERNET REPORTS ABOUT PROFESSOR GEORGE REKERS

***MISLEADING INTERNET REPORTS ABOUT PROFESSOR GEORGE REKERS***
A recent article in an alternative newspaper cleverly gave false impressions of inappropriate behavior because of its misleading innuendo, incorrectly implying that Professor George Rekers used the Rentboy website to hire a prostitute to accompany him on a recent trip. Contrary to Internet stories based on this slanderous article, following medical advice Professor George Rekers requires an assistant to lift his luggage in his travels because of an ongoing condition following surgery. His family, local friends, and even another university professor colleague have offered to accompany him on trips to lift luggage. Professor Rekers was not involved in any illegal or sexual behavior with his travel assistant.

"You want *straight* talk and *straight* facts from a real expert who really cares about what’s best for you!"
You keep using these words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

And on the topic of fact checking, the site teensextoday.com and professorgeorge.com are both probably legitimate I suspect the Facebook page is a hoax. At least it is very suspicious that there are no links to the Facebook page on either of them. And the answers posted there are rather snarky and lack the ring of authenticity.

Where I come from a person with a PhD, MBA, and Th.D. DOES NOT SAY "As a doctor I have . . " Because he is NOT A DOCTOR.
Instead, he is a bald-faced liar and misrepresenter of himself.
What a disgusting specimen he is.

I couldn't read past the post where he essentially equated all porn watchers with the horrific serial killer Ted Bundy (because Bundy expressed interest in porn when he was a child).
THIS MAKES ME WANT TO TYPE IN ANGRY CAPS.

Dear Dr. George Rekers,
I’m a 20 year old Bi- questioning dude with a big fat 8 inch (censored). I get so many stares at it when I’m in the gym showers- not to mention all the compliments I get on my smooth, supple (censored).
Because I have such a big fat 8 inch (censored) and smooth supple (censored)- that’s clearly popular with the public, I thought a career in the sex industry might suit me perfectly. So my question to you is: how would you recommend getting started?
Signed,
Carlos Pinga-Enorme’
P.S. I’ve never been to Europe

Dear Mr. Rekers,
Saying that "studies show..." does not count as a viable source for information. Ugh.

The Facebook page is hilarious, but judging from "Dr. George's" (again, hilarious) endorsement of cattle prods and pony play at East German sex clubs, it's also bogus. Just sayin.

This story just keeps on giving! Hey, does all of this mean that gay people in Florida can challenge the decision that was made forbidding them to adopt? After all, if the ruling was made partly based on the testimony of someone who clearly has some major issues of his own...

The Facebook page led me to this: http://christwire.org/2010/05/if-youre-o…
It's fucking brilliant (I'm assuming it's satire).

Oh lordy, @21, that is some funny shit. I don' t know what's better, the post itself or the frothing indignation of the posters who don't get the joke. I love that Billings never breaks character in the comments. It's like the Spinal Tap of Christian wingnuttery.
