There are implied caveats based on how I observe most of my cohorts having sex - in committed monogamous relationships where the rate of potentially fatal STD transmission is probably lower than the mortality rate from gun ownership. Sure its not a 1:1 comparison since one is an action, and the other is passive…

Get your husband literature on a vasectomy. It is a godsend for the people that want to have consequence free sex with a monogamous partner.

It's basically what Old Spice does with their absurdist advertisements, except the differentiation is the advertisement itself.

"This condom on the left feels like sandpaper. This condom on the right is about 85% of the real deal"

I remember the first few times people asked me about my vasectomy and were like "What about kids (I'm 30 now, 27 when I got it)" and all I could muster was "Not really for me". I really missed some good opportunities to be all "I know right, thank god I found a way to have sex without THAT lingering issue" or "No…

You seem to be missing a key element of why people enjoy sexual congress in the first place - physical pleasure. Sure you can have the emotional intimacy with condoms, but it's not like condomless sex is the same danger category of a loaded firearm, obvious phallic comparisons aside.

That's odd, to me those things say "Did you book your vasectomy appointment yet?"

*20 years in the future*

Don't watch it so I don't know. Maybe it's worth checking out now that I can binge.

I think this is more of a question of what should qualify for being registered, not whether the way people use sex offender registries is reasonable or not.

It's really a silly catch 22, isn't it? Although I'd love to see 6th generation Asian Americans like one of my friends growing up, who was basically a middle american hick in his tastes and pursuits. But I'm sure someone would complain about how white washed that would be despite it being a singular anecdote.

I'd love for this to be subverted where the cancer is defeated and the characters realize they really were only into one another because of the heightened emotional stakes. Guy moves off to Reed to study English, girl finishes out her high school thing and moves to France for a year and reads a lot of books, they…

Part of what I dislike about tragic teen romances is that there is very little substance and shared experience that would be a prerequisite for pathos. I know this might be age bias in myself showing but holy shit, the experiences you have as a teenager are ephemeral as fuck - there's a huge difference between your…

Apparently they didn't even have the decency to play it off as roleplay.

Ain't that the truth - stuck with a growler instead of a six pack because my kitchen is decadent.

Also, its a bit ridiculous to take Miss BlahBlahBlah's words as indicative of anything other than a contestant taking their experiences and shoehorning them into a question they've clearly never thought about before in their life.

Miss Georgia wanted a theocracy!

That's your takeaway from this idea? There is no accounting for the obtuse.

I'm not bothered by you at all. I have a lot of empathy because I've been in your shoes and I want to reassure you that the deck isn't stacked against you despite these jokes.

I think you should flip this around - there is the presumption that you have a mean sized dick or bigger otherwise they wouldnt be candid about their preference. But yeah, it sucks to be categorically rejected out of hand for something you can't control but I wouldn't dwell on it - people compromise on platonic ideals…
