Genetics, types and concentrations of different gut flora, maternal malnutrition can all set up a person to be "obese" for their entire life no matter what they do. They can do extreme, unsustainable dieting and lose some weight temporarily but their problems are ultimately metabolic, hormonal, biochemical. They can…

I wonder how you came up with the magic number of 2 years? I'm honestly curious.

I agree that couples can and should indulge one another sometimes and that it can still be pleasant and fun for the person who is not feeling especially horny. I don't agree with all of these people who are assuming based on a small piece of one side of the story that she is entirely at fault here. There may be…

We have only heard his side of the story, and not all of it. I agree about indulging one another sexually even when you are not both in the same mood, it can still be fun for everyone, but it may be a little bit premature to blame her entirely. They could both probably benefit from therapy, he might find there is a…

I feel like they should have at least thrown her a steak or something.

A good friend of mine when we were teenagers complained that chicks always go for the assholes and nice guys finish last. This person is still a dear friend of mine 15 years later. He observed guys treating girls in a way that he wouldn't, but did not consider the fact that monogamy was something he had serious…

I've seen the tumblr in question. These guys say that they are nice, they say that they are sick of investing in relationships with women who end up just wanting to be friends, they say that it is because they are nice that girls don't want to fuck them, then they respond to the question "Is anyone ever obligated to…

I read an article about this in a different publication. The 9-5 window is mentioned as more of a gimmick. It can be 11-7 or any 8 hour window as long as there is a 16 hour fasting period according to the article. It is also nothing new. The mechanism is cyclic ketogenesis caused by intermittent fasting. This…

It's super important for us thin folks to realize that our strategies (or lack thereof) for staying thin don't work for everyone. There is quite a lot of genetic things and biochemical things going on with this stuff. I think too often we speak of our own experience as scientific evidence and it's not. I agree with…

I don't wear make up either. I haven't experienced consequences for that, at least not ones I know about or give a shit about. I also have to acknowledge that I have nice skin and might be naturally pretty without it whereas others may not be privileged in that way. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm tooting my own…

There is a reply to this post farther down from someone who thinks it's hot, says mother daughter porn is common and claims to know a few men who have had sex with mother daughter combos in real life. I'm pretty sure there are some lies being told somewhere in there and probably some money changing hands but…

By the way, most of us don't know a few men who have gotten with any combo of women. You run with a lucky crowd, or at least one that is willing to pay.

I second the "who cares" but I should point out that just because they say they are related does not mean they actually are. Sorry to spoil the fantasy but this is NOT a common mother daughter activity although it might be a more common male fantasy than I was previously led to believe as evidenced by your comment. …

Porn is so strange to me. I get the sense that these two women are just performing sex acts in one another's presence, not having sex with each other or even feeling sexually attracted to each other. I have to disclose that my exposure to porn has been rather limited but from what I have seen, the sexual desire and…

1. All of my best girlfriends and I have had sexual experiences that we regret and none of us has ever called it rape. Ordinary folks don't believe that they can consent to sex and later say that they didn't just because they regretted it and the law doesn't treat it that way either. This is not a huge problem and…

Here in Canada, any business owner is allowed to close up shop simply because they feel like it. There are rules regarding severance pay in that situation. I don't think it really matters how fucked up the relationships between these three people were, the fact is he did what was easy for him, not what was…

Did you read the article? "GMP is promoting idea that lots & lots of guys - most guys - are already rapists or might rape at any moment. It's worth repeating that this is not only insulting, it's untrue. Most men aren't rapists. But beyond that, it doesn't really demonstrate a belief in good men, now, does it? It's…

Exactly. I think extraverted people mistake our introversion for apathy sometimes when we just have different social needs. I also get a little bit frustrated when my friend is always inviting me to big parties but she won't stop partying for a night to just listen to some tunes while drinking tea with me.

I am an introvert so I don't put very much energy into socializing since I only require it in small amounts and become very tired if I get too much of it. Maybe you are more extraverted? I don't call my friends very often but it's not because I don't love them or think about them and when we do get together I need…

I live in Canada where a common law spouse (living together for a year or more) has those same duties and privileges. I find myself saying "I live in Canada but/so/which/where" quite a lot lately. Are we that different really? I feel like we drink beer, eat fast food and watch T.V. exactly the same. At least that…
