I think it really depends on the issues. None of the issues you mentioned are horrible problems like alcoholism, eating disorders, abusive relationships, etc. People are under enough pressure as it is to look "good" (whatever that means), to succeed in life by everyone else's standards and to date people that everyone…

Bless my SO for reminding me of his worst. He's a highschool teacher, so they got to the bar by 3pm for his holiday party. I was in grad school, didn't show up until 5pm, and it was like walking through the looking glass, they were all WASTED. 5 pm, and they had already done like 3 shots of tequila, that they…

Well, I work for a small hvac company with a telemarketing department. At our first Christmas party 3 years ago I wad literally the only female employed by the company, I was also recently single/separated from my husband so I decided to go it alone. Most of the wives glared daggers at me the entire night. The only…

Aww. Thanks!

The holiday parties at my former company were epic. An open bar, a free hotel room and 150 stressed out workers made for a drunken festival.

My birthday is exactly a week before Christmas, and as such, is almost always the day that my office chooses to have their holiday party. This has happened several times over the years with various jobs, and it is generally uncomfortable and has occasionally gotten weird.

The most memorable, however, was several…

I worked for a non-profit Modern Dance company in Chicago. Only two of us in the office. Administrative Assistant and handled the Educational Outreach program. My boss, "M" was Devil Wears Prada boss. I lost count of how many times that woman made me cry and the the hell I dealt with. HOWEVER, I needed the work, I…

I used to ask my mom why we weren't into organized religion because I had playmates who went to church every time the door was open. Some of those playmates' mothers stopped letting their kids play with me when they found out I didn't go to church. She always said something about how God is in all houses, not just…

Johnson has a stellar reputation in her industry, the most prominent being the first AA to appear on the cover of Vogue, the other being her grace and poise and, most importantly, integrity. LOTS of people know Beverly Johnson, personally and/or professionally as well as regular folk who grew up watching her in her…

The thing about Johnson is she is fucking brilliant. I don't mean to imply that's surprising because she's a model at all but I remember being impressed by her analysis on the oppression of beauty the very first time I came across her.

Lately, I've noticed in the media, that when people of higher standing, or "look or sound more respectable" have come out about their experiences, the media treats them VERY differently, and with much more respect (not that there was that much respect in the first place when it comes to these things) Why is it that we…

I have never been a server but from what I have heard, my grandmother was the worst restaurant customer. First, on road trips during the 40's to 60's when chains were not as prevalent, she would walk into a restaurant, take a deep sniff of the air and if she thought she smelled burt grease, she would leave…

i want then to provide statistics how many people suffocated during facesitting???

wouldn't want to show men being dominated...might send the wrong message.

Occasionally my host would stand in the doorway of his office when no one was around and slowly undo his shirt by two or three buttons while staring at me, grinning.

As a man, I am deeply offended by your comment. Specifically, how spot on accurate it is.

You are watching the wrong porn.

"Penetration by any object 'associated with violence'"

Am I the only one seeing an element of sexism here? Much BDSM is femme-dom, and more than that a bunch of these (face-sitting, female ejaculation being the obvious ones) are focused on female pleasure when it hetero situations. This isn't just about BDSM.

Well shit, now they have to re-write the whole fifth season of Downton Abbey.
