I’m pro sex in all its legal variants, but a personal prude. Anyone else in this boat?

Not everything is specifically about you,you know? And I think the takeaway should rather be that if your partner did decide to opt out, it would be a completely valid reason to do so, because it’s an important aspect of the relationship. If he chooses to stay, it’s because it’s not the ONLY important aspect of a…

-The only person making you feel like shit is yourself, the op’s comment has nothing to do with you.

I can see many things making you feel like shit in this situation, but I don’t think you’re being fair putting any of the blame on do the truffle shuffle’s comment. If your guy is cool with your situation, if he agrees that there are other things that matter (and I assume he is and does or he would not have stuck…

Look, I’ve had my fair share of issues about sex after I was raped. I totally get where you’re coming from and it’s fine, it’s normal, and maybe you’ll even embrace your sexuality eventually (or not! either is fine because OF COURSE your emotional health/overall well being trumps anyone’s “need” for sex!)

I’m sorry but your comment is ridiculous.

No, they’re not, nor do they need to be. Your skin has a microbiome, as does your gut (hence the recommendation to swab the mouth).

Unlike many (many many many) birthing trends, I’m actually cool with this one. I mean, I get being squicked out, but the idea has some solid merit. Most babies pass through the vagina and get well and truly rubbed in its juices during the birthing process; that’s not gross, right? Why is this? Colonization by the…

Someone needs to do a black comedy where Best and Jake Lloyd team up to kidnap Lucas, angry over all the flack they’ve caught over the years.

One company party lead off auspiciously when, within the first half-hour, I fell down the stairs of the restaurant and knocked over a candle, setting a small section of the table on fire. This, however, did not stop my urge to down expensive alcohols on the company dime.

this is HILARIOUS. I would have paid money to see the looks on everyone’s faces around the table.

That is not stupidity - that is passive aggression.

HAHA oh my god ! My mom had to do this with my dads family! Seriously EVERYONE got sick after EVERY holiday or every party picnic or gathering because my grandma thought it was FINE to just leave raw food out or leave cooked food out on the counter for DAYS. My dad even got hospitalized for food poisoning from potato…

I’ll never forget the first Thanksgiving that my oldest brothers girlfriend (now his wife) came for dinner. She said some words that changed my life forever.

My favorite memory is of the year my cousin, who was in the same class at me at a very prestigious and old school in the deep south. She was the straight A student, the lead soprano in the church, the good girl that taught her chubby cousin how to steal Wild Turkey and sneak out of the house to meet up with…

That’s really sad. My parents are divorced but they are both still in touch with each other’s extended families and are invited to each other’s events, for example when my dad’s niece got married, my mum was invited. My dad’s younger brother told her “you might have divorced him but you didn’t divorce us and you’re…

You see, young Elvis was a tricky little brat. In Kindergarten, I was riding home with my dad, brother and brother’s classmate. My brother’s classmate was going to be doing a Thanksgiving play, and I decided that I wanted to be in one too! The catch was, it was Tuesday evening, and tomorrow was the day of said play I…

Hahaha I also kept tearing up reading children’s books. Which is tough to avoid when you’re a preschool teacher.

“What works best for you, specifically” is not automatically a synonym for “common sense.” Do you, like, pay attention to the world around you? It’s full of other people who are different from you.

I'm married to someone like you. I hate him.
