Joy of Sex at the Age
What is this photo?
The burned out skin, the lack of top teeth, the creepy, creepy thing that’s going on with the eye?
What is that? It looks like she’s got a coin jammed in it.
Actually, turn your head to the side for a second and then look at it.
The forehead and eyebrow region seem sunken in. Is this some computer animation of what the ideal orgasmic woman would look like?
She/it looks more like a corpse than a woman achieving ecstasy.
Assuming that some guy made this image, I think I know why 65% of Australian women are ’sexually disfunctional.’
Which cracks me up, by the way.
Moving to the article, the caption underneath the leading photo - of a naked man and woman in a hot tub - reads:
Professor Marita McCabe says many sexual problems are ‘very likely to be about the relationship rather than the woman’
So we’re broken, but it’s only half our fault? Awesome.
Hilariously the captioning makes it seem like Professor Marita McCabe is the woman in the hot tub. She might be - it’s actually completely unclear.
The article ends as charmingly as it began:
Attempts to develop a so-called female Viagra have so far failed.
Creepy sunken forehead demon is only half of the joy of theage.comau right now. (Sorry, thumbnail’s all stretchy unless they’re centered; WP’s new photo thingie not so awesome actually.)
Including the Joy of Sex article, there are a total of five sex-related stories gracing the top of the site. Five out of thirteen stories in the main section; four out of the top six featured stories.
All I can say is if theage.com.au can’t get you in the mood, not even female Viagra could help your frigid, huge vagine.
(I should thank the Age - I’ve been wanting a reason to link that video forever.)

If I was Prof. Marita I’d be asking for that caption to be altered and a retraction printed. Probably something along the lines of:
“It has been brought to our attention that the previous caption for this image may have been ambiguous. The Age did not mean to imply that the image represented or was in any way linked to the expert quoted in the the piece and apologises for any confusion or distress caused.”
Hmm.

How about:
The Age regrets publishing this weird and tasteless photo, which was then tied, though negligence or incompetence, to Prof. McCabe. The Age apologises for the error.
