Not only is it teaching a whole generation of men to be terrible in bed, but it's also teaching women that something is wrong with them if they don't enjoy it. So it's doubly bad. Add in the racist stereotypes and it's just a terrible way to learn anything about sex at all. It just reinforces bad habits and bad

You know, for a while, I wondered if the real effective ingredient of the Pill was whatever it was that killed the desire to have sex. Nothing works like abstinence/ambivalence!

Yeah, I'm dealing with this too — how does one tell her husband "hey, I love you, but I'm kinda sexually bored, what do you think we can do to change that?" Especially when every other conversation about sex leads to a big ol' argument?

All of this. "I love my body but you...um, maybe you should work on some things first..."

What exactly is going to happen when I reach magical X pounds?

You lovely freak you! May you and your wife have many more freaky, lovely years together.

also: (and from actual people!)

Y'know, shit like this right here is exactly why i was too damn afraid to go after who I wanted instead of settling for who maybe kinda liked me. Because I knew that no matter how smart or talented or kind I was, it only came down to what men thought of me, and how valuable (read: slender/pretty) I am. And that fear

YES! Jessica Pearson's wardrobe is outstanding. In fact, that entire cast is sartorially flaw-free.

Yes. I will be seeing this. First weekend. Jill Scott AND Dijmon honsou? And Tyler Perry is nowhere near it? Yes. I'll probably try to buy the soundtrack too, just on general principle.

I sure hope someone answers this. I had a baby 10 months ago and NONE of my bras fit the same anymore. It's like they've started to deflate! I don't even have cleavage anymore — and no, I didn't breastfeed (!!!) It's demoralizing. I hate my tits now.

Yeah, pretty much. We (most of us) know. Sorry.

I'm black, and of my black female friends, I don't know a one who "freely express[es her] anger" when it comes to basic day to day interactions. We are quite aware of the stereotype and end up being overdiplomatic and walking on eggshells if anything, because we like our jobs, thankyouverymuch, and know how quick

It's the bicep thing that's totally doing it for me, and I never understood the allure before. Hmm.

i Must know what this color is! I once saw that she wears Chanel Audace, and it's the only red that's ever worked for me.

cute headboard, though!

So much this. But what's sad is when you can't even discuss the freshness/boredom levels for someone losing his shit and calling you everything but a jezebel whore bad mom for wanting to have sex that might require some damn mental/emotional/physical creativity and effort.

I caught myself wondering, "is that an Marc by Marc Jacobs?"

I bet it tastes like chocolate and good sense.

They all think they'd be Don Draper, don'tyaknow! If that's not a telling ideal, i don't know what is...
