Jesus. What a bunch of fuckfaces.

Hey, so I started sleeping with a new guy over the holiday weekend (all kinds of fireworks, amirite, ladies?!) and even though I have an IUD and I'm clean and he said he's clean, I still made him wear a condom, partially because of this conversation! Thanks for the tip. *rimshot*

The question about a guy helping to pay for BC is an interesting one. Money matters when dating are complicated enough, adding the cost of sex/sexual health seems even more confusing.

We had very different IUD experiences. It was painful at the time, but the menstrual cramps I had when I went on hormonal birth control were way worse. I drove myself home, sat under a heating pad for a few hours, took some more ibuprofen, and then drove myself to a BBQ. I left after I started getting some cramps…

I think it's the use of the word "want" that makes it seem weird. If my BF was like, "Hey, I'm going to the doctor to get a vasectomy tomorrow," I'd probably ask, "Would you like me to go with you to drive you home?" but I wouldn't say, "OMG, I really want to go with you, let me cancel all my meetings, I can't wait,…

See also: excessive emoticons. A smiley or sad face here and there is okay, but more than one in ONE text and you're out.

Does s/he not know where salmon and cheese come from?

It actually doesn't look like they made her boobs smaller, just that her frame. I guess the 00s Barbie is technically more realistic to what a real woman looks like, but only if you're talking about a real woman who is a model.

Yep, I figured that was the reason, from a mechanical or design point-of-view. But even saying, "She wouldn't be able to function/move her legs if her thighs were touching," even though we're talking about a doll, makes me cringe.

Interesting! Thanks for letting me know.

So close to having her thighs touch! So close!

I like it, except the "feral" part kind of makes me think it might be a racist, Aboriginal caricature. Maybe Feminist Cheryl...? That still might be a stereotype. How about 'Doesn't Give a Fuck What You Think' Cheryl? I'd buy that for my imaginary kids!

Maybe because little girls aspire to be Barbie when they "grow up" and 19 years old seems pretty freaking grown up when you're 8. Old enough to have a little freedom, but not so old as to be a real adult.

My line of "Baby on Aboard" car decals are available at your local tire store.

Huh. Another reason to keep using condoms: once you go lack, you never go back.

Get the Fleshlight people on this.

Is it? I've always felt that a one minute slow-down and then re-start keeps the sexy times going longer than if he would just impulsively push it in. But I guess I've never gone bareback (barefront?), so what do I know?

Seriously. Send me a link if you find it because I've wracked my brain and I got nothing.

Also,

I can't image saying to someone "You should smile" or "Why don't you smile?" Maybe I would ask, "Is something wrong?" and then you would say, "Nope, that's just the way I look when I'm concentrating," and I'd say, "Okay, have a good one!" and move on.
