There was report on this evening’s All Things Considered about teen sexual behavior and its ramifications for the spread of STDs. Very serious topic, right? The giggle-factor is there, but as a mature adult I should probably be able to listen to them talking about blowjobs on NPR without untoward mirth.
But the name of one of the researchers is Dr. Manlove.
It was a “driveway moment” for me; I sat in the car listening to the story, and sniggering like a twelve-year-old.
Have a listen. Count then number of times Allison Aubrey says “Manlove.”
A friend of mine used to work for a sex therapist in Illinois whose name was Dick Proctor. This name is somewhat amusing just pronounced straight, but it gets better if you turn it into a Spoonerism.
