Am I truly sleaze?

[Texasgal]

My score was 216.

They said I am going straight to hell.

1. Come on over

and we'll discuss it.

2. No. That quiz obviously was designed by moralizing

extremists who believe it's "sleazy" for consenting adults to enjoy their sexuality and to medicate/recreate however they choose. Moreover, the quiz makes harsh judgments of people who aren't as socially engaged as some of the rest of us, and makes fun of people with "low" scores. I think it's a BS quiz.

You're OK with me, Texasgal.

3. I don't think it's so much "socially engaged"...

as it is "unmindful of the strictures of conventional morality" and, perhaps, "exploratory"...

[Heidi]

4. Yeah, well . . . whatever the definition.

I found the quiz perversely judgmental.

[Spider Jerusalem]

6. Eh. It's just a variation on the various "purity tests"...

that have been floating around the web for over a decade now. And the commentary ("you're going straight to hell!") was probably intended as humour...

7. Here's my problem with it . . .

There's about a jillion DUers bragging about their "high" scores, and a few DUers who were disparaged for their "low" scores. But what does a "score" mean? It doesn't mean that the guy with a score of 15 is "unworthy" . . . it doesn't mean that a woman with a score of 268 is a "slut" (another word that I loathe). It just means there was someone out there with the verbal acumen and programming skills to put together a stupid little quiz. Also, I've no doubt that the freepers were enjoying perusing the "scores" that DUers posted, making light of the "us" and "them" mentality that exists even here.

Sorry to rant Spider Jerusalem. I very much enjoy your posts.

8. I can see your point...

and it's a bit of a silly thing anyway, considering that life puts different choices and experiences in everyone's path, and everyone responds to them differently; I don't much care one way or another, personally--someone's score on a silly test like this (and what that says about their behaviour re sex and illicit substances) isn't going to alter my opinion of them in any way, because in most cases I've already seen enough of their character and personality expressed through their words that it makes no difference (and I would rather hope others were of the same opinion).

And thanks for the compliment...I've enjoyed yours, too. :hi:

9. I'm just glad it didn't have any porn questions

My computer would have blown up... actually, why DOESN'T the sleaze test have any pron questions???

[Texasgal]

10. Riiight?

Where are the darn PORN questions! :P

11. Hanging by your ankles from the ceiling and masturbating to military porn

Why, half the people in the Bush Administration do that, and we know they're not "sleazy."

Licking a bald head is okay too; just stay away from the ears.
