I was interviewed, but didn’t make the cut. Thanks, Jessica! Maybe because I gave them a picture that totally obscures my face? And of course, the women are wearing glasses.
- What are your favorite works of erotic literature?
- What is the best way to pick up a librarian?
- There’s this girl I really like, but once we got in the sack, the sex turned out to be awful. Is she a lost cause?
- My boyfriend can’t come from blowjobs. Can anything be done?
- My boyfriend has a foot fetish, but I’m not into it. How can we reconcile this?
(answers here).

From the Livejournal library_mofo group (“The Society for Librarians* Who Say “Motherfucker”), LibraryNinja posts probably the funniest reference interview ever:
A female undergrad walks up to the desk for help.
“Hi, I’m looking for anal tourism research.” She says.
I could not have heard her correctly.
“Um, what?” I reply.
“I’m looking for anal tourism research.”
Like Thailand and Vegas? “I think there is a typo.” I counter.
“No, my professor was very specific about anal.”
I don’t ask if there was an oral exam. “We can take a look, but I don’t think that’s right.”
“Please? Anal research is important, I need it bad.”
I start searching in the catalogue, typing in ‘annal’ to end this.
“It’s anal, A-N-A-L. Anal was at the top of the list of the things he wanted.”
I bet it was. “We don’t have it under that listing.”
“Well, how can I get Anal Tourism Research?”
Some Barry White, some K-Y, some minor discomfort.
“How about we try some variant spellings?”
“But I want anal.”
“Please trust me on this.” I don’t want my boss to walk over while she shouts “I want anal!” again.
“Here we go, Annals of Tourism Research.”
“But, anal…”
“Is something very different.”
I could see the dawning in her eyes as she made the connection.
“I, anal, oh my god.”
“Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Even when coeds are begging for me to give them anal, I’m still a professional.

Carnival-ettes,
Calling all librarians!
I am currently interning for the sex and pop culture magazine Nerve.com, and looking for the librarian folk amongst you who would be willing to be interviewed.
The interview would be for “Sex Advice From,” a popular series in which a select group of folks give their best advice about tricky sex questions. If you happen to blog, we’ll totally put up your links and publicize your projects in any way possible. If you don’t blog, that’s cool too!
Please e-mail jessica at nerve dot com ASAP if you are interested!
