Hahaha, that's exactly what I was thinking! "Can this get worse? If it can get worse then I WANT TO WATCH IT GET WORSE."

Like every generalization, it's just a generalization. :) Personally, I like to think that I encountered this worry so often because I slept with really nice guys - I'm not attracted to assholes (another common generalization, this time about women!).

Hah! Funny, my reasons for turning down casual sex are often a. I wasn't sure that the sex would be good for me and/or b. I didn't want to deal with the possibility of the guy being clingy and wanting a relationship afterwards.

I was wondering why that wasn't brought up! Like I'm gonna go home with a stranger! Even with a smart phone, I won't be able to Google him and check his Yelp reviews in time.

"Fake" didn't even cross my mind!

Aaahh me too!! And really, while I have some married poly friends who keep it under wraps, it would be WAY easier to just out yourself as a celeb. Which is why I really don't think it's the case for Ashton & Demi. Because being in an open relationship would be far less damaging to your career/reputation than being a…

That was exactly my first thought! Mostly because DC was clumped in with them. Being from Maryland, I agree with @redtizzy that it depends on where you are (hello, Thurmont). As for West Virginia, I think our state generally just doesn't give a shit about anything. Which is kind of why I love it here.

I was soooooo shocked to see a giant "Evolution is a Lie" billboard in upstate NY on my way home from Montreal. Doubly shocked that I saw it while I was parked next to a twenty-something guy who was harassing and threatening some young girl next to a convenience store, in a way I'd never experienced before. That area…

H'oooh nice!

This woman is AMAZING!! Why aren't there reality TV shows about people like HER?

Oh man, it's not even a female thing, either - I had enough one-night-hookup-turned-love-letters-and-candy experiences in college to get one-night hookups out of my system!

I think this guy's given me a new plan for my death in like, 60 years. "A happy death." I love it!

I love my mom dearly, but her "sex talk" was given to me after I'd already started having my period (luckily I'd been primed with the fifth-grade Basic Sex Ed), and consisted of 1) directions for shaving my pits and legs, and 2) a vague warning of needing a bra at some point.

While I'm a little surprised that a Jezebel writer would use the wrong term, there are an awful lot of us out here who are still learning the terminology. So I don't think it's a "waste" of your time to mention it in the comments for the rest of us to learn!

"I'm not willing to say "till death do us part", if I really mean "till it's no longer convenient for either of us"." Ahh man, it's so nice to hear someone approach marriage as an honest vow rather than a flippant decision. :)

"Why bother getting married then?" To take advantage of the legal benefits! I, for one, would totally do this if it meant I could use my temporary-husband's health insurance for two years. Hell, I've had it offered to me by a few employed guy-friends, but the inconvenience of divorce has always kept me from it. Oh,…

Oh Hussy, you are so not alone!

At least the poo was local.

I am totally one of those people groaning and rolling my eyes when a baby starts crying on a plane, and tweeting complaints about it the moment we land. Because I travel a lot, and GOD do I hate the sound of crying babies.
