Question: what kind of bear is best?

Bugs living under toilet seats are now officially my new fear. Thanks.

I love this.

It might be wrong, but I don't think it's so wrong that it's to the point of THE WORLD MUST KNOW. As far as I know, none of her clients were terrorists, so it's not an issue of national security; I haven't heard any reports of her being responsible for any syphilis outbreaks, so it's not an issue of public health;…

No, she's Irish/Italian. There's a funny interview with her where she jokes about the milkman, Fernando, who her mother had an affair with.

It would definitely change teachers' mindsets in a time of emergency. Right now, all our attention and focus is on our kids and preserving their safety. This would be asking us to be focusing on the assailant instead—a seemingly small adjustment, but a meaningful one.

She's in Canada, so I got stats for that country's population.

But—wait—you're a licensed therapist or psychologist, right? It's true that there can always be better information, but saying, "You are not in the minority!" to a guy who has yet to be sexually active by the time he's 28, ignoring the heaps of data that says that he is, seems to me to be a pretty dangerous move. As…

I'm not the OP, but you realize how grating and condescending this comes across, right? "Have you tried masturbating"? "Maybe the kind of sex YOU have is"? "I feel sorry for people who make statement like yours"? I mention this because I'm not sure if you meant for that tone to come through, or if you genuinely…

A tiny nitpick: "I do therapy with guys in their early twenties and they think that the fact they are still a virgin is unusual... It is not."

It wasn't my intention to make it seem like I was offering my own analysis, but instead to pose questions to hear others' ideas. You raise a great point on the black/white dichotomy: unfortunately, the only study I found that covered both levels of education and race was comparing those two races in particular.

See, having more security guards seems to me to be a far more reasonable short-term solution than giving teachers guns. I can see some logic in state legislatures designating more funds for having security guards at every school (that doesn't have them already)—as sad as it would be to know that more security guards…

Ha! I was going for humor. But really: majority of the teaching workforce is 55 or older. The majority of these seniors are women, and women are half as likely as men to have ever used a weapon—most stats place about 1 in 6 women as ever having held a gun. Most of these teachers report feeling overburdened and…

Delete the personality questions. They're shitty and will only make you feel self-conscious.

Definitely a heterosexual construct with weird power in the gay community. The number of gay dudes who only consider "sex" to be anal intercourse blows my mind.

The majority of the teaching workforce in the United States is 55 years or older. What are you imagining here?

Does it require a dating coach to make small talk?

Girl, you're not new to Jez. How come you keep linking to your blog? You know that's not really done here.

What I think deserves some investigation is whether women choosing to lose their virginities later in life are represented across all socioeconomic groups. Black women lose their virginities, on average, at an age two years younger than the average white woman, which makes me think that the 10% of the population who…

Notice no one from Oklahoma is up there. Three days after Sandy Hook, our legislators' reaction was to try to pass a law requiring teachers to be armed in the classroom.
