I frequently have this conversation with my bff, as we're both in our 40s, and don't have children by choice. When someone decides to have children, they are following the path that society has defined as meaningful. It's ready made for them. For those of us who choose not to have children, we have to find our own…

*sigh*

It is so disheartening to me that people put more value on reproductive ability for women than actual merit.

I know that, as a childfree person, I can't seem to escape the mommy wars here on Jezebel.

Sigh. My cats once adopted a baby bunny. Much as I wish I could believe they were doing it because they thought I would enjoy the addition of a small rodent to our household, I know that they did it for far more nefarious purposes (ie. a small animal to torment that would last longer than a mouse). My cats are…

By this reasoning I can do all the drugs I want, pay only the taxes I agree with, and help myself to olives from the olive bar at the grocery store with total impunity.

Just once I want to see a pharmacist refuse to fill a viagra prescription for some evangelical on the grounds that it is immoral to help assholes breed.

PS. I think it just felt 'interesting' and nice to touch myself there one day when I was a tween/teen, and I went with that. After a while I figured out if I did it more, it... escalated. YMMV.

OK. Well, as a purely amateur advice-giver on this subject, I'd say try not to stress about it. You could continue exploring as a general part of getting to know your body, and see where it takes you. I don't think you're missing any special secret trick though; maybe one day it'll feel good and you'll go 'oh!', maybe…

I wish they would've added "No actors were harmed in the making of this ad" in fine print or something.

The tagline should be "Control your animals". (the thing I'm always tempted to yell at parents in public but I'm too scared to actually do.)

Y'know what? I'm happy for this sentiment to get some public airing. I don't actually agree with it, but I'm feeling very grinchy about all this baby stuff lately.

Not bad, but nothing will ever beat this, my favorite condom commercial ever. Or, just favorite commercial, period.

Absolutely, although my own reasons are less deep than that - I just associate the term with smarmy guys from the 70s, sort of Ron Burgundy types :)

Yep, yep, yep. I'm quite OK with saying "have sex" even for the most intimate, sensual, connected experiences I've had. I feel like "making love" casts the acts of sex in a somewhat unflattering light, in that it's perfectly fine to have sex without involving love. Have sex for the sake of the sex and orgasms, but…

In terms of body language, what Biebs was doing there indicates that he was extremely uncomfortable and feeling vulnerable. I think it was a function of him being nervous onstage, not necessarily him trying to draw attention to his crotch.

Around 1:54, he actually completes the gesture as it usually looks: he clasps…

No. That is some stupid shit. I get baggy and saggy and all the gangsta, from-the-projects connotations there. He´s trying to seem manly and tough. I also think it´s stupid, but I get it.

These pants, which are cut several sizes too large in the thigh and tight like skinny jeans around the leg — they just make it look…

I know how you feel. My mom is super judgemental (AND a gossip, but don't you kow she hates gossiping?) so I just don't tell her things. I don't invite her to my apartment so she can look around like she's smelling something bad. I don't confide in her when I'm feeling vulnerable and I don't seek her advice.

Yeah, I was thinking to maybe purchase a vibrator? Seems like a nice short-cut.

Omg. I want this show to be produced!

Other than an episode where Martha stays up all night making cronuts for when President Obama is dropping by, and Snoop eats them all beforehand , I got nothing.
