Some people - not me, of course - have, uh, chubby thighs (I've heard) and, uh, baby powder keeps them from chafing uncomfortably.

It's a gift. A useless, pointless gift.

Hey, I'm here to help. But I apologize, I was making it all about me, and I'm 20 years older than you.

Ha! Yes, guys, please. This is a truly inscrutable mystery.

Absolutely, 100% agree with you, and I do wish more people realized this. Yes, other people can be annoying, dickish, inconvenient, etc.

" Another thing is that there is a very real danger that I might bump into one of them (students) when going out."

I've been in the same boat with depression, and I didn't tell anyone, either. Admit that I'm not totally in control? You must be joking.

Ooooh, blind items!

Ah, the good ol' days of Andrea Dworkin and others leading popular feminist thought. I remember discovering those texts in the later 80s too. I think I bought it for about a minute before I realized it had to be more complicated than that.

*Imagines @avclub-e9a31138d9c1040eb526f6ca6761e58b:disqus at his computer with lotion and kleenex, muttering to himself "oh yeah, tell us more about how positively she responds, ooooo yeah……."*

I agree with @avclub-e9a31138d9c1040eb526f6ca6761e58b:disqus that it definitely takes time to build a life in a new town, especially a smaller one. (I include "sex life" in "new life"). Keep doing what you're doing - jogging, taking care of yourself, pursue some hobbies - and be patient. Waiting IS hard.

I get the mental picture of him standing stark naked in the living room while she's watching Top Chef, lotioning himself up all slowly and extravagantly and then just standing there like the glistening Adonis he obviously must be, waiting for the adulation to roll in.

I see what you're saying, and in theory I agree with you. I've never minded a partner viewing porn - *but* I don't necessarily want to be confronted with it myself. I think of it as kind of private. While I might know and be fine with him viewing porn, I don't really want to KNOW exactly which crazy fetish porn he's…

Baby oil? Where are you meeting guys, 1970s Fire Island?

And an answer from a colleague! We've almost got a trifecta. If only he'd mentioned his husband's preternaturally hot ass.

"I filled the car with gas the other day. Why didn't my idiot girlfriend realize it meant I want her to initiate sex more often?"

I guffawed.

The stepson was in the barn with the 2nd wife, zombie-fied. I thought Patricia - Otis' wife - who was killed in the season 2 finale was his daughter, but I checked the wiki and I am wrong about that.

Gotcha, and I can definitely see her doing that.

I totally feel ya on all this.
