Sorry, you are mistaken. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor), which does delve into sexuality in training, but by no measure qualifies one to be a sexologist. You are conflating a sexologist, which is a researcher and behavioral scientist, with a clinical sexo…

I lost my virginity to some dude named Mike at 18. It did not effect the rest of my life, sexually or otherwise, one bit, and 14 years later, it's still just a thing that happened. I think part of the problem is society places so much damn pressure and so many expectations on "the first time" when it's almost always…

100%. I am a traditional girl, can count my sexual partners on one hand, and I am in my early 30s. I am quite happy this way.

I'll stop pretending my diet is fun when the people I work with stop saying "Don't you want a donut? You can have just one. One won't hurt. Come onnnnnnn...." Ugh, fuck you, Dude. I don't want your goddamn donuts.

Why do stories like this always end up becoming a parenting skills judging session? Can people just back the fuck off and realize that every parent makes mistakes? Some of them are easily remedied - like the time I thought my kid wasn't that sick, took her out anyway, and got barfed on. Some of them aren't - like when…

I am a mom and it is definitely a lot of work. Different work than my 8-5 corporate gig, but certainly work. But this bugs me for a few reasons.

People give Tyra so much hate, and I don't really understand it. She's a massively successful model who's managed to turn her career into something long-lasting, which is a rare feat. People seem to be upset that she's not humble enough (and that complaint usually has racist and sexist undertones) and that she's not a…

Clearly you aren't a vegetarian who has taken lots of road trips. There are rest stops where the only real option is McDonald's, and you end up getting fries and a soda and pretending it's actually a meal. It would be nice to have another option. (By the way, the Burger King veggie burger is just a Morningstar Farms…

I very much dislike her voice.

I shower a different amount of times than everyone else here, and I think we should fight to the death about it.

This is completely ridiculous. What a farce. I am outraged. Everyone knows Canadians don't play tennis. How are you supposed to bounce a tennis ball on a glacier? What do they use for a net, an iceberg? Seal clubs make terrible rackets. Somebody needs to account for this terrible reporting.

When we see other couples in public like us (white guy, black girl) we always refer to it as "another pair of club members". It is still uncommon, but I think becoming less so over time. Having couples in our configuration in ads can only help break down silly stigmas and diffuse foolish racism against it. People…

You are painting with a very broad brush here. I am not religious myself, but I am aware that most religions do not teach what you just outlined here. That is a childish and ignorant view of religion that allows you to dismiss it and feel superior to everyone who is a member of any religion. First of all, not all…

Wait, wait, wait...Lady formerly of the Bananas said SHE/HE is uninformed and would just get all emotional about the environment, not that everyone talking about the environment is inherently uneducated and emotional. I thought she/he made a reasonable point; this article claims that students are being brainwashed…

I thought education was about facts and not opinion? Is any of the information false?

I decided to make my owl costume this year. Cut hundreds of felt "feathers" and sewed them onto an old dress. Mother was awesome and made the owl hat for me.

Don't lose hope! I chaperoned a fourth and fifth grade dance last Friday. The costumes were mostly AWESOME. About 40-50% of the girls did the typically girly stuff like cheerleader, flapper, 50s carhop. Other girls were Red Riding Hood, the solar system, a foot, Thing 1 and Thing 2, a snake charmer, a cat, a Twister…

I pinch my nipple really hard and think about dead kittens. That's how I attempt to pee with an erection.

An elderly man had dumped a chihuahua where I worked. She was older (neither I, nor the vet, have any idea how hold she was), she was severely overweight, and her teeth had mostly rotted out. She was also terrified of everything, but she latched on to me pretty fast, and followed me around everywhere (including my…
