Yes, I joined the dark side.
Add me on Twitter! It’s a blog for attention deficit disorder-ed folk.

the internet is crazy, and some quickies
So, uh, it looks like my uber-professional “commentary” about naked parties at Penn isn’t dying anytime soon.
CBS picked up the story, and I’ve been deluged with hits from people discussing it on Fark.com and (not very flatteringly) on Crewcial. Hey, folks! I promise my life does not consist in chugging kegs and running around sans underclothes with frat boys. Really.
Someone at Fark uploaded this picture. The caption kills me:
Hey, anything for publicity, right?
In the meantime, check out these Valentine’s Day quickies:
- Zoos all over America are holding “Woo at the Zoo” tours for couples to watch some hot animal fucking. Quick, somebody alert Daniel Radcliffe!
- Having trouble deciding between a Hitachi and a Rabbit Pearl this V-Day? Fleshbot has you covered with their Valentine’s Day sex toy gift guide.
- Modern Love, the splendid New York Times sex column, has a special V-Day list of romantic bon mots this week.
- My super friend and coworker Maria Tessa Sciarrino is doing a “Lovers Rock” show tomorrow, 4-6 PM Eastern time, on the famazing University of Pennsylvania independent station WQHS.org. Listen to it!
- And for you Valentine’s Day haters out there, NPR put together a “Songs for the Dumped” playlist.
-
Coming soon I’ll have a post up about this new blog I’ve been checking out, Confessions of a College Call Girl, and Sexerati’s latest series about the marginalization of sex workers, “The Pink Ghetto”. Oh, and SexandtheIvy, aka Lena Chen, is living it up in Manhattan with me this summer. Cue requisite Carrie Bradshaw theme music, except unlike Ms. B, hopefully we won’t suck.
Happy V-Day, folks! On this amorous holiday, please love (and fuck) responsibly.

- The sexy and gracious Rachel Kramer Bussel granted me an interview about her latest book on voyeurism/exhibitionism, Caught Looking, her thoughts about the all-too-bandied about Carrie Bradshaw label, and what’s next on her plate after the end of her column Lusty Lady at The Village Voice. Check it out right here—Rachel’s one of my inspirations in the world of sex writing, and her passion for the craft shows in all of her answers.
- The sex blog I write for (besides the occasional sexy entry on this one), Viviane’s Sex Carnival , is one of the nominees for the Dirty Spoke Sex Blog of the Year awards! Check it:

Click to vote here ! Also up is my favorite Ms Lena Chen over at Sex and the Ivy in multiple categories—Sex and the Ivy is one of the most frank, honest, and well-written sex n’ college blogs out there. So vote for Viviane’s Sex Carnival and vote for Lena!
- Speaking of Sex and the Ivy, Lena will be in Philadelphia for a week to chillax with me and discover everything sexy in Philly. Want to go out with us to Woody’s?

didja hear that? that's the theme song of sodom and gomorrah
HELLO EVERYONE. MY NAME IS JESSICA HARALSON, AND I HAVE A DEEP, DARK, HORRIFYING SECRET:
I ATTEND NAKED PARTIES.
Actually, I attended a grand total of one of these dens of debauchery. (Not plural, CBS. And for the record, I didn’t get naked, just showed off my purchases from the Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale). And I’m not only an attendee, I’m a sex blogger/sex editor/self-styled cultural critic of sorts on college rumpy-pumpy. And that sound bite of me talking about a sex room? I wasn’t at that party—I was recounting an urban legend I’d heard about some other Penn soiree. Not that there’s anything wrong with orgies—it’s just Caligula style swinging romps ain’t my bag.
But hey, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. And if there’s anything I learned from the experience (besides the fact that Insider reporter Lara Spencer’s wardrobe is to die for) it’s that there ain’t nothin better than practicing the art of the sound bite.
JESSICA HARALSON: ATTENDS NAKED PARTIES.
I think that should be on my epitaph.
Your editrix apologizes
I know, I know. I totally suck. Haven’t updated this since the Pleistocene. I’ve been all antsy and nervous about writing about prurient subjects. But I promise, that’s about to change.
A conversation with SexandtheIvy—aka the Divine Miss Chen—who, dear readers, will be visiting yours truly for a week of possible debauchery near the end of the month—caused me to throw in the towel and get serious about this blogging business.
An approximation of our convo. because I am totally not tech savvy enough to keep AIM logs:
1. Writing about sex isn’t bad. Writing badly about sex, though, is bad. As is having bad sex, but that isn’t here or there.
2. What’s bad is using our bodies as a stand-in for talent, doing things like posing for nudie mags or posting questionable photos on MySpace. Tara Reid-ing it does not a career make!
3. Haters betta recognize, because fortune favors the brave. Who got famous about writing about Parcheesi? Seriously?
So what’s the point of this post? I’m back. You get to read more. You get to be privy to my hustling for an NYC internship. My hustling for a date. My hustling to get clips in Hustler. But not real hustling. Actually, I’m not even sure what “hustling” actually means.
You know, just the usual 20-something college freelance columnist stuff.
Yup.
Totally normal.
You know, that hysterical laughter hurts my feelings!
Comment [1] - posted Jan 9, 00:34 in personal jessica8217s-self-promotionformulaic fatale
So I got my first big-azz media attention thanks to the boys over at IvyGate, who lampooned my header alongside sex columnist Miriam Datskovsky's and Jessica Cutler's as "formulaic." (Lena Chen, mah pal over at Sex and the Ivy, didn't get mentioned because, as an Asian, she actually has mad web design skills. [Just joshin' ya, Lena. I kid because I love].)
Getting mentioned, naturally, led to an Existential Crisis. Because gosh darn it, those IvyGate boys are right!
I'll readily admit to being part of an old meme (although I did found Quake back in the good ol' days of April 2005, which means I was just riding the H-Bomb train along with everyone else.) Why don't men in the Ivies ever opine about sex? Are there any male collegiate sex bloggers out there? Please, I'd like to know. But what-eva, I don't think sex can ever get boring. So I'll keep writing about kinky sex. And politics. And guys who dress up like terrorists for Halloween. And my crazy family. There's nothing new under the sun, kids. Nothing new.
But seriously, forks, I'm flattered to get noticed by IvyGate. Especially when they brought such comedy gold as Aleksey Vayner to the world. Now that, my friends, will never be old meme.I made it into this week's Sugasm!
We’re celebrating a milestone this week. Thanks to all of our sexy writers we’ve made it to our 50th Sugasm. Congratulations!
