Dr. Drew’s solo show sizzles
■ Corvallis becomes a
hotbed for sex talk when
Loveline comes to town

“So, is it actually OK for a
Beaver to mate with a Duck?”
This was only one of a plethora
of provocative, outlandish and
sometimes lewd questions posed
to Dr. Drew Pinskyof MTV’s Love
line, when the show stopped at
Oregon State University to answer
questions Saturday night.
Adam Carolla, Drew’s cohort,
was unable to attend as he was
stuck at San Francisco Internation
al Airport due to fog. Disappointed
audience members were offered
refunds, but Drew more than made
up for the absence of his outspo
ken, bawdy partner in crime.
“Goddamnit, am I the only one
pissed off at Adam Carolla
tonight?" Drew said as he took the
stage. “He’s such a lazy F”
With a promise to divulge some
of Carolla’s close, personal secrets,
Drew decided to forgo the usual 30
minute opening spiel and began to
take questions from the audience.
To start, the 4,000-plus students
were reluctant to disclose their
most embarrassing sex problems.
“If a room this size doesn’t have
questions, there’s something
wrong with Corvallis,” Drew said.
But he soon got the ball rolling,
and questions ranging from drug
concerns to anal sex to masturba
tion filled the next 90 minutes.
Runners with microphones situat
ed at strategic places throughout
OSU’s Gill Coliseum facilitated the
eager crowd’s queries.
“Can smoking pot really de
crease your libido?” one con
cerned student asked.
“You must be from Eugene!”
Drew replied. But, of course, his
real answer was a decisive yes, as
drugs of any kind will ultimately
change your sex life in some way,
he pointed out.
Another, more naive onlooker
asked, “Does it really feel like
warm apple pie?”
After inquiring about that stu
dent’s age, Drew moved on to
more serious questions concerning
certain sex advice given in
women’s magazines.
“These damn women’s maga
zines are
the work
of the
devil,”
Drew
said, on
top of
cheers
from the men in the room. “Sex is
like pizza — it’s always good.”
Despite a few bogus questions,
the event was only interrupted
once, when a disgruntled partici
pant got hold of a microphone and
informed the audience that they
were all going to hell for dis
cussing such blasphemous sub
jects. The man’s microphone was
turned off and he was immediately
pursued by security guards.
Drew shook off the minor distur
bance, saying it was the first time
the show has ever been publicly
criticized, and he continued to
take questions from the consider
ably more relaxed crowd.
One shy woman asked how she
can prevent the problem of certain
male fluids coming out her nose.

NOTEBOOK
Tidbits of advice
from the good
doctor:
Dr. Drew offered the following
suggestions duringa show Satur
day night at OSU’sGill Coliseum:
* Sex is like pizza—it’s always
good.
* Men are pretty lame when it
comes to relationships.
* Women are superior versions of
the species (in their ability to have
multiple orgasms.)
“Either swallow quicker or spit
quicker,” Drew suggested.
Some of his more practical ad
vice was for men to take lots of Vit
amin E to remedy an unattractive
bend in the penis, and for women
to go back on birth control after
having a baby to get their sex drive
back up to speed.
A perplexed female posed a
question about that all-too well
known male fantasy about having
two women at one time. Drew’s
only explanation was, “For guys, if
one is good, two must be better.”
Overall, Drew addressed many
serious issues including depres
sion, abuse and drugs and tied
them into the typical sex problems
people experience. The show pro
vided a nice balance between
Drew’s doctor advice and increas
ingly disturbing questions from
the OSU student body.
As Drew mentioned at the be
ginning, and many smitten female
audience members confirmed,
who needs Adam when you’ve
got Dr. Drew?
