Because Jonathan Ames never gets laid, right?

I do think it's interesting to get other perspectives on why there are so many more women writing about sex than men, but there are at least some men doing it (Kevin Keck, Jonathan Ames, Grant Stoddard, Ian Kerner, Neal Medlyn, etc.). But I'm an imbecile, so what do I know? Mars, Explained"

4. This is the humdinger most important reason that men do not write frankly about sex on the internet. If word got out that a man was writing specific, graphic details about his sex life, said man WOULD NEVER EVER GET LAID AGAIN, for the rest of his life. Ever. We can write to our hearts content about not having sex, we can write about our love of pornography. We can even, with careful wordage, tell what exactly it is that we are doing while we are loving that pornography. But we cannot, under any circumstances, publish about our coital victories and ever hope to again be graced with an intimate familiarity of the genitalia of the fairer sex.

Also, I don't know if I actually said the quote in question. There were some questions that Amy Sohn emailed us after the discussion, and this was my full response to her, which may result in the same thing as that tiny quote, but was part of a broader answer:

Why aren't there any straight male sex columnists?

That is a very tough question. My friend Will Leitch once wrote: “If most of these women (and, of course, they’re always women; a guy’s columns about sex would always have the same predictable, abrupt end, and they’d all run about 150 words) had sex as often as they claimed, I don’t know how they’d even have time to write their columns.”

I don’t know, but I think it stems from straight guys not being as comfortable talking about sex in general. Girls, no matter their sexual orientation, often will be laying down their romantic/sexual life drama within five minutes of meeting another girl, it just seems to come naturally, at least to me. Perhaps it’s because sex is less laden for guys; it’s simpler physically
and emotionally, at least, that’s what I hear from almost every male source – that it’s just not as fraught with drama and tension, although I do hear from plenty of guys about my columns.

I never pretend to have all the answers, and I think it was actually Amy who brought up the question of why there aren't more male sex columnists - drunk as I may have been, I don't recall looking around the table and actually posing the question that way, though there are tapes and transcripts, so maybe I did. But regardless, there are undeniably some men who write about sex who seem to have an abundance of women to choose from. Ahem, case in point (Ames, not me, obviously. I'm pretty much now the sex columnist who doesn't have sex, and that's fine, I'm gonna try for some sort of immaculate conception and just write about other people's sex lives).
