I think this is a generational and geographic thing. My friends and I talk about sex. A lot. Not necessarily quantity, but quality, our kinks, asking for advice/"is it normal if," talking about the ridiculous/hilarious thing our partner said last night/week/month in bed that had the both of us laughing, et cetera. We…

This is so sweet. I want to cry and laugh and just squee at the same time. That charity is a brilliant idea. Kudos to the organizers/runners/furry friends!

She forgot the part where allowing women into the higher institution of learning is a secret plot by the Jewish Gay Liberal Media Homonazi Brigade to turn all the women into greedy baby-killin' harpies and all the men into househusband pygmies minus the sex.

Exactly. I'm not having sex right now (more's the pity) but I'd rather be celibate for now than have not even kind of okay sex. No, I meant the physically uncomfortable/just "bleh"/actual pain (and not in a fun way) that comes from hangovers (see my response to another commenter in this thread for an example). The "I…

Huh. Well, to each their own.

Ouch indeed.

I have, unfortunately, and I'll explain one specific incident that I'm thinking of: My then-partner decided that, obviously, since teeth are fucking great on necks and tits and hipbones, they must be excellent on clits. Nope. I literally hauled her up by her hair as I was wincing in pain and say "NO. Nope. Don't.…

Also - is anyone else kind of sad that this wasn't an essay on powerplay? Because that graphic made me think it was (didn't read the title) and I was like "YAY sexy Saturday!" Then it was an essay on Comparative Sexology (which ought to be a college class, much like Comparative Religions), and it turned into "....…

Hmm, good point. Although I would think that if you recognize the fact that you are not experiencing a great deal of pleasure, it might eventually cause you to reflect badly on yourself/your partner(s)/both.

Indeed! I mean, if it's halfway decent, by all means, have vicious happy fucktime as much as you can with still being a contributing member of society! If it's not... IMPROVE! (And huzzah!)

This is true.

See, I would think it's based entirely on the QUALITY of sex. If you're having quality sex, I'd think you'd want to have it more often. In my opinion, good sex is better than Prozac and bad sex can be equal to or worse than a mild hangover.

Gah. It's probably just my browser/screen/eyes/a combo, but it's been bugging me.

Fuck, if they'd created that merit badge when I was younger I might still be in Girl Scouts.

Jesus Christ, same here! "But it's not like you NEED to be gay! You're smart, you're beautiful, you could get a good man." But that's not what I want; I WANT a good woman.

Happens to the best of us.

It's like it's a PATTERN or something.

I have no idea. Even otherwise pretty normal people seem to get all icky when it comes to homosexuality. I once had a friend - otherwise super-accepting - ask me if my sisters weren't afraid I was sexually attracted to them. My only reaction was "Ew. Ick. No, of course they're not. Is your sister afraid you like her…

And also: Ever notice with child-molesting it's always Christian? American, Irish, Italian, Mexican - wherever Christianity goes, child-molesting follows.

I missed the part where Timothy McVeigh was a Muslim.
