If you’re interested, you should check out the article “The Orthodox Sex Guru” that was in the NY Times. It’s Google-able. It was fascinating, parts were very upsetting, and it was memorable. The ultra orthodox are not really a sex positive group.

This reminds me of a wonderful line from Angel: "If nothing we do matters, all that matters is what we do."

I LOVE YOU. THAT IS ALL.

Oh my god this happens to me and I hate it. I have a child with autism so we see a lot of different professionals all the time. I was very thrown the first time a therapist called me "Mom," I stared at her for a moment because I was taken aback. It's happened a few more times since then and I find it alienating,…

Well, be fair, it's not 'one answer for everyone.' If you don't want to have children, you have the choice to become a nun. Easy peasy, solved that one for you. Now please excuse me while I go throw up.

I have read this thread and wanted to tell you, I think your problem is that you're boring, too negative, come off as desperate, or some combination of those. All three of those will put potential dates (men and women both) off a person as a serious romantic interest. I wouldn't want to be more than friends with…
