yeah kind of shitty!

He’s proud, perhaps for the first time ever. I’ll allow it. The real one who lacks class is his ex, who apparently shamed him.

It’s so small he must be gay! Or something?

OK hold up...

Wow. You have a great story, sir. When /if/want to be ready.

Yep, Straight male, Married, handful of daughters, and my stroke-ridden, elderly, lesbian mother in law living upstairs in her rocking chair.

Ok, ok....... The ladies and gentlemen of Jez have spoken and I’m apparently in the wrong. Mind you, it’s not sour grapes on my part; its just the way he’s holding the base that made me suspicious.

I was already just clinging to life with this comment. But “pet a cat backwards” produced this gem.

As a person who's seen like a triple digit number of cocks, I'm gonna go with real.

You made me spit my tea. You owe me a keyboard!

As a penis- haver, I’m going out on a limb (or a baby’s arm clutching an apple, as it were) and say that is not a real dick.

I HATE those. My mother somehow has managed to buy a plain white bathtowel equivalent for the bathroom attached to my old bedroom. When we visit and I forget to grab other towels before showering I am so sad. Sad and wet. Sad, wet, and covered in a fine white fuzz.

I agree on this theory so much. For me it wasn't so much hitting as just feeling constant anger from one parent and disapproval from the other. It seemed that everything I did made them angry (ask questions, be upset about something someone did to me, invest in the stock market <- yes, wanting to learn about investing…

The "we turned out fine" line was always funny to me. Growing up in shitty neighborhood in Detroit I would occasionally hear people who defiantly did not turn out OK (drug addicts, violent felons) use it.

Let's clarify that there's a difference between a light open hand spanking on a clothed bottom and a "beating." I received spankings, followed by a hug from my dad telling me he was sorry he had to do it, but I was warned ahead of time that this was the consequence. I never felt threatened, spankings were very rare…

Jesus. My uncle used to pick up his baby son and shake him screaming that "no son of my mine is going to be a pussy crybaby". He even got a tattoo on his arm of a crying baby with my cousin's name under it. My aunt eventually left him, but her son has had all kinds of problems with the law and substance abuse as an…

Definitely. my entire adult life I've alternated between someone with no access to their negative emotions and someone who is completely consumed by them. Plus, I am a classi people pleaser at work and a codependent in my romantic relationships. as for self-esteem, I put up a profile on okcupid recently and was…

My aunt would slap my cousin every once in a while. It never seemed bad (just surprising when I saw it because my parents never hit me), but I have always wondered if me not being hit let me have a better relationship with my parents. My cousin and aunt always just seem a little less son/mom than I feel I am with my…

I know— and some of us did NOT turn out ok. It's like, I'm not a murderer either, but I've always had a really hard time expressing negative emotions, especially anger, because I would get in trouble, often a spanking, just for being angry. I didn't learn better ways to deal with anger. I learned not to let anyone…

I don't have kids yet, so I am speaking purely in reflection of how I myself was disciplined and how I see my friend's disciplining their own children, and I had a revelation.

Part of/All of raising children is about making sure they are adequately prepared for adulthood. Studies that suggest you should talk to…
