I just wanted to say thank you to both you and Psyk for actually thinking about these things. It's a huge step in the right direction for everyone. I've had male friends ask me before about what they can do to be careful to not make women feel uncomfortable or threatened, and usually the answer is "The fact that you…

I'm impressed with his breadth of nerdy knowledge. Freya hat and spear FTW!

Yeah, he has a fan base. Pretty much every famous criminal does. If you're handsome/young it's often populated by teenage girls, like the Boston bomber kid. People are weird and rather demented sometimes.

I have a number of poly friends, and the answers to those questions really just depend on the couple. Communication is basically THE most important part of successful polyamorous relationships - communicating what is okay, what level of commitment you have to each of your partners, what your long term goals for it all…

Apparently the average woman will take off enough time for period related issues in her life that it can actually add up to be a noticeable difference in experience level.
