pro tip: if you use a bunch of discriptors that are most typically used to describe fat people you can’t be surprised when people think you’re talking about fat people

Playboy always pissed me off more for the articles than for the pictures.

The old ‘porn reduces rape’ thing has never had any real evidence. It’s an old theory that got a lot of play in the 1970s, when there was argument that it was ‘catharsis’ for men with rape impulses, and the slightly euphemistic version we hear now is equally without evidence. Sexually-violent crimes have been…

No, men learn that. That’s not what women necessarily learn from porn. (My experience with it was more tilted toward learning that it’s abnormal not to want to do certain things, even if they didn’t look fun and even if trying them didn’t result in fun, and that sex should mostly be about what turns the man on and…

Essentially, the problem is still that porn tends to be from a very male point of view of sexuality, meaning many young women who view it will end up exploring what men who pay for porn (an audience separate from all men) think her sexality should look like.

This comment = lame.

I am sorry to disagree with you all the time, I know you’re around my age and a good writer...but here I go.

Because the performers who provide it are often enslaved, trafficked, and/or drugged, and do not comply of their own free will.

Cheapening sex is better than placing so much value on it that anyone who engages in it for pleasure is instantly shunned and ridiculed.

Well, no. The article is specifically about porn.

I agree with you. Playboy and other magazines displayed idealized thoughts and ideas of what the managing editors (Hefner and his ilk) thought what should be shown. The internet has been more “democratic” in its dissemination of what ALL naked bodies “should” look like. Internet porn is a smorgasbord of every like,…

I have a daughter, and if she’s going to see sex on the Internet some day, I am least heartened that she might stumble upon at least some depiction of genuine female pleasure

I just adopted this kitten a couple hours ago and she is asleep on my shoulder right now, you guys.

I think people are reading too deeply into this. Mindy unabashedly loves gossip, she has the best gossip on this person, but she can't/won't share it because she has morals.

I’m actually wiping away some tears from my eyes after reading this. I’m a dad. I love my kids. I love my son with autism.

Thank you. I was like...this is a journalistic outlet with presumable access to other websites on the internet, right? Which would show that Jenny and Johnny have been together for years.

This. It’s not that I think Amber Tamblyn, at 29, was not mature enough to marry David Cross, who was I think 48. I’m just really sick of so many men in Hollywood reaching middle age and seemingly cutting off their dating range at 30. It happens the other way around but not really as much.

I’ll be fine with this when and only when Jane Curtin starts dating Ryan Adams.

Look, an anonymous source said they were “special friends,” is that not enough for you?!
