You know what, don't tell me I'm "pretending to be okay with no orgasm"—it's patronizing and incorrect.

Yeah, I found it to be no skin off my nose to ignore any douchey/creepy messages, and went out on dates with a select few nice, normal guys. Took a while to find one I was super attracted to, but we've been dating 8 months now :)

Okay, I've got to bite: what's in such a kit?

To me, the first question is ripe for an easy compromise: buy something on the registry that's a little under your budget for the event, and then supplement it with something fun and modestly priced off-registry.

I mean, he's was probably lying about the deflowering thing, but in support of his claim:

On the other side of things, pretending not to like unchallenging, mainstream earworm pop, because I know he'd judge me.

I enjoy a little "Eeeeeeeww, heeheehee, ewwwwwww" every now and then. I'd rather this than Wetlands.

I enjoy New Girl not because of, but in spite of, Zooey D's adorkableness, but damn if she doesn't have the best, most wearable wardrobe.

I've considered trying it just to be open-minded, since my city has unisex private bathrooms in most public places, as does my work. But tampons work like a dream for me, and I just don't care to sign up for a repeat of the teenage days of uncomfortable experimentation when I was learning how to handle my period. If…

Is something wrong with me that that would have gotten a genuine, positive laugh out of me? Not future husband material (or even IRL date material), but I'm amused. I guess I'm just a sucker for a good ridiculous emoji-based "conversation."

I've had plenty of low-quality messages on OKC ("sup?" or "how ru doing? I like ur eyes" from guys who are a 30% match), but those are easy to delete, and very few outright offensive messages. Also have never had a disastrous, repellent or scary date from the site, in about 15 or so that I went on. Currently dating a…

Yeah, if this was intended to make us all feel like our butts are perfectly nice because don't they looked just like these people's, it failed. I assume that flattering stage lighting played a role.

I'm not going to defend $12,500 for a family of four as a bargain vacation, but it's hardly jet-setty either. If you want to go a specific place at a specific time—particularly a cosmopolitan international city with a weak exchange rate, during the summer when your kids are out of school—you could hit that mark…

Yeah, I always thought it was kind of a commonly accepted fact that 69ing was just for screwing around/foreplay, not for results.

I read her regularly and usually don't find much fault in her advice. Sure, sometimes I think she's off base, but I think that about any advice columnist, including Dan Savage (who I read loyally and who has helped shape my thinking on a lot of things).

Honestly, I do think the idea has many perks to it. I just hate the idea of being on the same side as the PTC in anything.

I'm online. I'm not super-awesome, but I'm awesome enough for someone nice. There will surely be others online who are equally awesome or better. I know horror stories are way more fun to share, but I've gone on a fair few OKC dates and they were all very nice people—dating one now. In fact, the repugnant ones are all…

One of the dead horses organizations like the PTC keep flogging is their demand for a la carte cable, so they don't have to subscribe to MTV and other such "unwholesome" programming with their cable package.

It really did have a confusing tone. I spent the whole time reading thinking, "Not sure if serious."

I agree with you to an extent, but for me the problem is when Gwen not only appropriates it, but then also glamorizes herself by hiring a cadre of mute exaggerated Japanese stereotypes to be props who follow her around.
