This is so beyond ridiculous. I specifically remember the day I broke my hymen. I was 10, and camping. After a day of biking and hiking up trails I came back to our trailer to see a red stain in my underwear. I didn't start my period for another 3 years, so I'm pretty sure that's what it had to be. This seems…

Apparently I need a prison tailor!

'Some have said my neck has collapsed at the back and that I need to be careful because I could start having spasms in my spine and probably be paralysed.'

I came across a video of an hour-long lecture that a gay man gave at a church once, and ended up forwarding it to every conservative person I knew. He went through the few bible verses that exist that actually deal with homosexuality, and pointed out the multiple interpretations of each one. The main point though…

I wonder if she gets everything custom made, or at least altered. I've lost a fair bit of weight in the last year, and I swear it all came off my waist but left my butt alone. I have the hardest time finding pants, skirts, or dresses that fit right. It's either skin tight on my butt/thighs, or baggy and shapeless…

Yeah, more information is needed in this blurb.

I don't think workplace equality will exist until parental equality is more commonplace. When women take all the mat leave (if it exists) and are more likely to stay home with their children, I don't think that true workplace equality is possible, just because they'll lose out on so many opportunities while off work.…

It's all my partner and I can do to keep track of activities for two people. Count me out if there's this much work involved.

Isn't this something that washing the fruit/produce would fix? No snark intended- I wash my fruit and veggies to avoid this sort of food poisoning, and want to think that there's a point to that.

You know it didn't even register with him as something that was offensive when he first saw it and replied. It was only when someone else tugged on his arm and pointed it out that he thought that maybe some people would 'take it the wrong way'.

Between this and ear maggots, I'm never leaving my house again.

The fact that you're not attracted to them is a good thing :) If you were, it would get complicated much faster. Just let yourself learn to trust a guy (obviously, as long as he's worth it) first- it might just be a first step in something bigger, but if it's not, at least it will show you that you can be close to…

For different reasons, that was me up until about 6 years ago. I couldn't even manage hookups- I pushed guys away who showed the slightest interest. The thing that changed for me was friendship- I because good friends with a male coworker, and over a couple of years, learned to trust him in a completely non-sexual…

I'm 95% certain that's true. It's just the last 5% that bothers me. Or maybe I'm a coward, and I'm using it as an excuse to procrastinate.

I have a pretty similar story- I was on hormonal birth control since I was 16 because of medical issues, so I would have been protected from pregnancy at least if I'd wanted to have sex (it wasn't really an issue with me, to be honest). And yeah, there's no easy way to bring up sex as a casual topic of conversation…

No problem :) I came from a fairly conservative family, and I had so many questions when I was her age that I didn't think I could ask anyone. Some of my siblings, like her parents, are even more conservative, so it's got to be harder for their kids. I just want them to make informed choices.

I did bring up my own birth control and the fact that I didn't ever want kids to see if she'd ask questions, but she didn't.

Calling would be completely weird. We don't talk on the phone. Text yes, talk no. And I don't want to just msg her on Facebook, because at least as of 2 years ago I know her mother would log into her account to see what she was up to.

I had my 16 year old niece over this weekend, and feel like I missed out on a big opportunity. Her parents are extremely conservative and don't believe there's any chance that their kids would have sex as teenagers. I wanted to tell her that if she ever wanted to talk about sex or go on birth control, there would be…

Just let the guy die already!
