I only read Jenny Trout’s analysis of FSoG, and it made me scream into the abyss more than enough. ARGH!

ARE YOU ME?!?

An ex gave me a copy of The Ethical Slut as my birthday gift one year, well into our relationship. We had never discussed not being monogamous. He was obviously a real keeper.

I get the moisture flinging concern for normals like us, but her bathroom is probably bigger than the first floor of my house. My toilet is close enough to the shower that I can use it as a laptop stand while watching Netflix in the bubble bath, but I doubt she has such a small crapper. Which just makes me extra…

The “inventor” of Stove Top stuffing died just a few days before Thanksgiving in 2005. We raised a glass to her at the dinner table that year.

Not made in a VitaMix, but BEST ICE CREAM EVER:

I was in jr. high when I read that book (raising the eyebrows of a couple teachers) and watched the movie. Even as a tween, the idea of the sleep clinic sounded like THE BEST. #VacationGoals

I was watching election results on a local news web stream here in Portland, OR, and holy shit did they give me a heart attack. They had the results backwards for 2 horrible measures. Checked the internet, accidentally ended up on their site where again, backwards. There were many tears and swears and shouts of…

It's true. I am very very lucky.

Agreed. I was scrolling through, merrily reading the stories to my husband in bed as I do every year, because who doesn’t want to get freaked out before trying to fall asleep? I was reading that one, expecting a creepy ghost story, then got to the attack part. As soon as it was obvious what was happening husband said…

Your username and avatar/image made me happy.

I have a couple pairs of Katy Perry heels. Got the first ones on impulse, and they turned out to be SO comfortable and high quality that I got the second. I shamelessly peruse the website every so often to see if there’s anything I need to turn the set into a collection.

IMPOSSIBLE. But we can still hope.

I had many a penis in me back in my single days. I had some terrible sex with big ones, and some amazing sex with little ones. I honestly got excited when guys had smaller dicks because it typically meant they put more effort in. So don’t let the bullshit get you down. 

FWIW, I get where you’re coming from. It’s natural to want to know who hurt your loved ones. And it sounds like you’re not pushing her to tell you, and that you’re being supportive. You’re listening to what she’s willing to share, and even without details you believe her.  So good on you.

Fellow longtime grey here. Came for Pot Psychology, stayed for the comments. Now I just stick around out of habit.

A couple months ago, after seeing my abusive ex at a show we were at, I told my husband about his raping me almost 20 years ago. It was the first— and only— time I had said the words outloud. I have been with my husband for over 15 years. Hell, it took me over a decade to even admit to myself that what happened with…

I swear Margaret Atwood is a time traveler and/or from the future. Digitalization of books, debit cards, governments using terrorism as an excuse for anything and everything, etc etc were all in that book.

Ecellent/appropriate use of “Barring.”

Their age range says 9-12, and that’s when I read them, but looking back maybe that’s part of why I turned out this. way.
