This was the first remotely hot article that has appeared in Nerve in months - perhaps years. I don't know how you guys managed to run out of material that actually turns people on, but you did. Believe me, Nerve - I wouldn't be saying this if I didn't care about you. As a friend, I have to tell you you that you've sucked for a long time (and not in the good way).
Fortunately, the Rev. Jen seems to have the potential to get this publication back up to the fully erect position that it was in back before Grant and Lisa disappeared. More of her, please. Enough of the endless boring reviews and depressing short fiction. Put Jen in charge. --JL 03/10 |
Very well written an structured, we do not have this kind of "service" in Europe, quite shocking the new American trends I wonder if it will be exported any time soon --JB 02/15 |
I don't really see the appeal of nude housecleaning. I try to be as far away from home as possible when my place is being cleaned. I did enjoy the narrative and the coy parantheticals that flashed by as the story unfolded, like driving past a particularly eye-catching billboard on the highway at high speed and wondering what you missed. Thankfully, here, I can double back and savor the allusions. Nicely done, and I am happy to see that science has made a great come back. --BZ 02/09 |
This article didn't do it for me. I lost interest early on and it was way too long. But I'll give Jen the benefit of the doubt as it was her first shot at "I Did It For Science." The best line of the whole piece was "Within every man who was breathing during the early '80s, there lies dormant a terrible fear of Jabba the Hut and an overwhelming fixation with Princess Leia. (Specifically when she is bound in chains by the gruesome Jabba; it's the greatest BDSM scene in cinematic history.)" I will have to take points off ffor the whole Maid in Manhattan sojourn, especially the egregrious "Ray" Fiennes (his name is spelled Ralph and pronounced "Rafe")

This just made me miss Grant all the more. Too bad. He was the best thing about Nerve. --ME 02/07 |
Quite possibly the best article I have read in a long long time. Have run accross any male nude house cleaners? I know Milwaukee has a few services. --NW 02/06 |
Horray! I did it for science is back! definitely one of the best articles in Nerve --EAM 02/06 |
I read the story yesterday and slept on it before speaking. First, I like Jen, she seems pretty cool, and I was inspired that you had your own theme song (even tho I couldn't make out any of the words). Now about the experiment;
Total nudity never works as a great turn on, and never will. The fantasy is great, but unrewarding. I tried the fantasy, and a hot house cleaner would be more along the French maid deal (for me). Fishnet stockings (crochless), high heels, (I have a feeling if you'd worn the heals that first guy would have been all over you Jen). Nakedness does break down barriers, that helps get people talking... I don't know, naked people just seem more interesting. Keep up the good work Jen! --BC 02/06 |
I couldn't disagree more with TB. Jen Miller is nothing like the been-there-done-everything writers he references. All of whom are fine at what they do, but all of whom are too world-weary to write this column. Personally, I stopped reading Grant's I Did It For Science when he got so unbearably cocky it was hard to take. Glad he was making your wet dreams come true, but as a woman, I was repulsed. Oh, and women can't just "have sex whenever they want." I assure you, sex is just as complicated for women as it is for men. Having a woman take over the column is an INSPIRED idea. --tw 02/06 |
This is rather like a good karaoke version of one of your favorite songs. I happen to think that Rev Jen is great but for me the point of IDIFS was that Grant was this sometimes reluctant, clutzy nerd. IDIFS was a welcome antidote to the Sohns,Taraminos and Bushnells. See, woman can have sex anytime they want. Grant was just some scruffy hetero dude riding some sort of sexual rollercoaster and that is what made it great. Grant was almost always ought of his depth and uncomfortable but faithfully reported back in such a heartwrenching way that it really made for a well rounded character that was really lovable. Oh well... --TB 02/05 |
My god you write a lovely sentence. If you pay as much attention to polishing the brass as you do to building an awesome scene in your script, you can clean my room any day. You write an article you could eat off of. --RH 02/03 |
this piece lost my attention three paragraphs deep. the premise just wasn't that exciting to begin with and the narrator, (I hate to break her heart) is just not grant. From the sound of it, she's not even somebody that's fucked Grant up the ass with a strap-on dildo which would seem to be the natural way to "pass the torch" of science. Anyhow, she should keep at it. I'm sure she'll improve with time, but she needs to find her voice. Simply offering a "woman's perspective" isn't going to cut it in 2005. I can get a "woman's perspective" from 8000 college newspaper sex columnists. I want the brutally honest, somewhat detached, and moderately self-depracting humor that Grant brought to this column each month. Equivalently she could provide some other brand of humor that is equally humorous. I need to laugh with this woman. She needs to sucker me into her narrative. Right now, I'm just not getting what I need. Sorry. That's just how I feel. --ndm 02/03 |
Nice to have a woman's perspective, but Grant is irreplaceable. -- 02/03 |
Wow...that was enlightening, inspiring, and funny as hell all at the same time. Thanks for a great read! --PAK 02/03 |
Oh, bring back Grant!!! Please... This is fun, but can we have some more of him, too, please? --AJ 02/03 |
This was a very interesting article. There's only one other person-not myself-whose ever done this and I was curious to see what it was like in actual reality, not the more subjective one of pornographic movies and late night HBO documentaries.
Thank you for your hard work in preparing and writing this article. Take care.

Actually, it is quite sad to realize how irreplacable Mr. Stoddard's prose is but Rev. Miller has stepped up to the challenge very well indeed. Can't wait for the next installment. --bf 02/03 |
Jen, you sweetie, house cleaning never looked so scrumptious. --CRS 02/03 |
Brilliant. I'm not an exhibitionist at all, but i found myself pondering doing something like that while reading this. Mainly because you could probably do a shitty job and no one would say a thing...and you'd still have $100. --CP 02/02 |
It was a great idea to bring back "I Did It For Science" from a woman's perspective, and Rev. Jen is the perfect writer/researcher for it! At least she's not scared to try these things! I know I would be terrified, going to a stranger's apartment, removing my clothes, with the expectation that I will clean for money . . . and I'm a guy!

Outstanding news that "Science" is back! How I missed it. Having a woman write it is a fabulous twist, too. The good Reverend did a great job with this piece, too. Count me in as a revived fan. --JRM 02/02 |
Great stuff! The Rev. Jen has a fun, easygoing writing style and it's interesting to get a new edition of IDIFS from a woman's perspective. It doesn't hurt that she's cute too! --CB 02/02 |
I am so glad that I Did It for Science is back. It's one of my favorite things about Nerve. And our first foray with the Reverend seems to indicate that it's going to continue to be as delightful as Grant's. Very happy to get the girly perspective as well. --JML 02/02 |
Jen, you da babe. long live i did it for science ! --ted 02/02 |
LOVE YOU REV JEN --BR 02/02 |
I haven't even read it yet, but oh did I miss "I did it for science". Welcome (back). --BV 02/02 |
