I was kind of annoyed by the Mosaic article. A long, big building and not one illustration of the evolution of the female condom and the supposed breakthrough. I hate articles like that. The facts are really interesting but those artsy pictures of a woman with her genitals covered by a plastic circle made me cringe -…

If that last design is for real and really soft and velvety to the touch maybe I’m game. It looks more like the insides of female genitals plus the ribbing, that can be fun - The other ones look disgusting (I’m looking at you, plastic bag condom!) or painful (REALLY? Something that looks like a speculum? My vagina…

Who the hell said that women are all the same size inside? Any company that provides menstrual cups can tell you that we have different lengths and girth exactly like men.

Honey, if you think putting a condom is a mood killer your sex life is really really boring. I won’t be entirely bad, I’ll leave you with one word: foreplay.

I’ve been through this particular hell for 4 months and had to get a statement from a dermatologist to reissue new documents after being robbed. There are two things dermatologists told me: one, that anything like washing clothes by hand with solvents and clearing agents could have damaged my digitals to just typing…

So, horrifying the pundits works? I would totally draw around the hole a big, hairy vulva complete with clitoris and hood. (don’t tell them the kids would probably see the drawing and have no clue about what it is) OR a goatsee.

My only comment is about that calculation bit ;) I was thinking in terms of acquired ability, like for example my 4 year old is learning how to write right now, but I don’t even think about the letters when I’m writing, I just do. Either way there’s a natural cap to how much I can write or type without straining my…

I’m sorry to bring it, I’m trying to help her cope with depression these last months, advised her to hire a lawyer and keep herself together for the sake of her little daughter,so it is very present in my mind right now :(

Yeah, this just happened to a friend of mine. Her stepmother sold and changed to her name anything she could after the father was diagnosed with Alzheimer and even though making someone with Alzheimer signing papers is totally illegal here, she actually made her husband take my friend off his will — as revenge for…

Soooo... You were born? (darkness, wet medium, etc)

I usually think about telekinesis in terms of electromagnetism. The brain making effort to project a wave of energy to affect some object. The amount of energy to lift anything too big for a long time causes strain and mental stress. So you can repel or attract the object in ways that appear as homogeneous to people…

You probably will laugh at me but gaming controllers until the arrival of the PS3. I went straight from Atari to PC games and I'm left-handed so playstation and xbox right hand controllers make me naturally confused and slow (I love the wiimote!) and my peers would laugh me out of the matches so I gave up console…

That’s not exactly the way it works. Let’s say you were travelling. So you come home and say you were in the North and there they have Zeus too but he’s called Thor. And in Nigeria the God was a fierce black woman called Iansan. The nature of the divine is one, the names humans call them are many.

This is exactly how I felt on Prozac. I told the doctor: it isn't that I'm better ; it's just like someone put a transparent shield between me and my feelings. I know that I am depressed, I just can't touch the feeling of depression. But I also can't touch sadness, happiness, pleasure or anything else. I'm just…

Your intentions are good, but misguided. I have a friend that noticed some months ago that he was depressed because of his total inability to cry, even when he should. He's on treatment right now.

I tried marijuana when I was younger... It may sound ridiculous but it took me a month of daily use to finally get my first "high". Until then I couldn't see what the big deal was. It was nice while it lasted, but my memory problems started getting worse and after the high I was *even more depressed*. So I dropped it.

Pretty much and, at least in my country, it's stated right there in the text between usual dosages, possible side effects etc: "we don't understand how antidepressants work but research and years of practice show that they do". I've tried many combinations from the three generations of meds and am on Effexor there's…

Been on Effexor for 10 years plus now. I have brain zaps if I forget to take it and there's a special kind of hell when it combines with sleep paralysis and then you are asleep, your brain is frying itself and you can't move or scream.

Needs MOAR angst. Teen hero trains martial arts with incredibly Sexy, older, smart instructor. Goes home, confides in best friend. One weekend sees instructor in deli with older, smart and mature partner. He acknowledges her and says that she's one of his most promising students. Partner says hi, is sweet and…

My memory became tricky after a life of chronic depression. It makes me extremely anxious and hurt when people think that I'm doing it on purpose. It makes me feel so scared. Once I was visiting an old friend and as I got out of the bus I realized that I had forgotten how to get to her house. Completely. Blank. A path…
