In Which College Continues In Its Usual Weird Vein
Wife: Why is it that we're a group of highly educated women, and yet whenever I"m here, the conversation is always about sex?
Economist: Nono, you should've been here this morning. We were talking about, like, newspaper stuff!
Engineer: We had a long conversation about the credit crunch.
LawTwit: And how it's people's fault! They should have, like, stopped buying things and had more sex to occupy themselves.
Moral of the day: Have more sex, save the economy.

Yes, I'm curious as to why education apparently means we should talk about things other than sex. But I do kinda understand- the postgrads do talk about sex, in detail, all the bleeding time, and certain persons among them act as if everyone is having sex, in detail, all the bleeding time. This sometimes bugs *me*, I'm sure it bugs Economist, so naturally it bugs the Wife.

Vern L. Bullough discusses the whole repression of sex and sexuality as a legit field of study in plenty of his books. Handbook of Medieval Sexuality has a big intro on it, and there's an essay by him in "Desire and Discipline", where he talks about how in the 60s he studied sex on the sly because he was scared of other academics thinking he was a dirty old man.
