More letters

I posted some more letters from men who go to strip clubs. Interested in submitting one? Email me HERE.

Furthermore, while I watch pornography to satisfy these urges more often than I go to a club -- I'm a bit of a homebug and it's cheaper and less hassle to load up a site rather than go out for the evening -- I much prefer the strip club experience over pornography. Porn is unrealistic and exaggerated, it puts you at a distance, whereas in a strip club it's all happening there, right in front of you. There's a tangibility and reality to the experience that is lacking in porn. Besides which, I often feel uncomfortable, depressed and unfulfilled after watching porn, while an evening at a strip club will, conversely, often cheer me up and boost my confidence and spirits for a while afterwards.

Hello Susannah

I read a blog posted on Sunday 11 03 2012 on your website about " why men visit strip clubs " and as a male myself albeit at least 20 years older than your blogger I was impressed by what he said and my heart went out to him as I know what he is going through .To be honest at my age I have more or less given up on finding a partner in this life and now just put my trust in The Virgin Mary to find eternal happiness in the next one hopefully although in my case more than a bit of time might be required in purgatory that is assuming that I avoid " the flames of hell " ! I also meant to say about your blogger that in spite of everything there are some decent males out there hopefully myself included or at least I try my very best with the help of divine intervention. Finally for now as I suspect that you have some Irish ancestry I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy St Patricks day for Saturday .

With love respect all best wishes and kindest regards.

See me read

If you live in the Chicagoland area, come see me read tomorrow night -- that's Wednesday, March 14 -- at 7 PM at The Book Cellar in Lincoln Square.

I'll be reading with my friend Anne Elizabeth Moore, author of Cambodian Grrrl: Self-Publishing in Phnom Penh, and Terri Kapsalis, author of Public Privates: Performing Gynecology from Both Ends of the Speculum.

I'm not sure what I'll be reading, but you can only found out if you go.

Come join us as local author Anne Elizabeth Moore discusses Cambodian Grrrl: Self-Publishing in Phnom Penh, a book the Portland Mercury calls "moving, hilarious, and unbelievable in a way that only true stories are." Combining memoir and journalism,  Moore chronicles her work in Southeast Asia and its impact on young women in a globalizing culture.   

Also reading with Moore is freelance journalist and award-winning columnist from the Pink Slipped blog Susannah Breslin and writer, performer and cultural critic Terri Kapsalis.

Millennials

Doing, er, research for this latest post on my Forbes blog -- "How to Make Twentysomethings Happy" -- I realized that my work ethic and the work ethic of millennials is exactly the same. That means either I'm very forward-thinking or very lazy.

I want to sit in my undies on the couch, drinking a smoothie, tapping out brilliant words on my Mac AND getingt paid for it. — @JustynaSurowiec
