Hi there,

You don’t even notice us unless you’re on vacation. And even then, you don’t go to real Maine ;-)

Teens are actually better at it than adults. The average age of first sex in this country right now is 18.

Use a drop of lube on the inside tip of the condom and make sure your friend is wearing the right size and shape condom.

Yeah, you should edit that for clarity. Because Herpes, HPV, trich don’t give a fuck about fluid.

Here ya go: Abstinence perfect use: 0 Abstinence typical use: 50-58 (estimate). That puts it second to last on the chart above. Vows of abstinence break far more often than condoms.

Agreed. I love these guys and don’t get the hate.

This isn’t about medicaid (medicare is generally not for birth control). It’s about Title X- family planning money for uninsured, low income folks.

Y’all, this is NOT a full defunding of Planned Parenthood.

Car alarms also typically violate noise ordinances!

My dog died suddenly last year and it took a few months before I could even see other dogs without crying. Now, as I posted above, I’ve got a puppy and we’ll see where that goes. I knew when I was ready and ti just takes time to feel that way. A friend of mine introduced me to the term “dog of your heart” and it has…

Here’s some advice from the trenches- YMMV and I’m not asking for advice for myself or judgment about the choices I made.

Selfie was so good.

I’m pretty sure this is inaccurate. I recall “The Second Shift” where they found that blue collar households had a more equal division of labor out of sheer economic necessity. I read the book in college and it changed the way I look at this stuff.

I have a friend who used to say that when someone asked her this what they meant was “why are you brown?” Our area is not very diverse.
