My mom doesn’t know anything about the Kardashians except that they’re famous and Armenian, the only part pertaining to the family she doesn’t understand is how he had kids yet feels like a woman. I don’t want to, but I might have to get brash and say that’s what Viagra is for if it comes down to it.

I’d do that to most people in a heartbeat, but I really, really want my mom to understand this one. She’s been coming around a lot lately on social issues so I’m trying to be patient and explain things using language she’s familiar with. She’s a compassionate person and that shouldn’t be limited because someone has…

I’m hatereading and downvoting all of them. I know how to make the best of a Friday night.

Why not? If you feel like a woman, that doesn’t mean you feel like a hetero woman by default. Most trans women I know prefer to date women; IDK what the actual numbers are, but I guess it doesn’t matter to me. Just (consensually) touch who you want.

Same. I wanted to discuss this but not on most platforms.

Seeing how far back his transition went (I had no idea it predated their kids), I’ve got to give her a hand for remaining steadfast and supportive.

My mom keeps asking me questions about Bruce Jenner and people who are transgender whenever she sees a new headline at the grocery store, but as soon as I give an answer she says “ew!!” like a child and changes the subject. Like, when I explained that hormone shots can help grow breasts. Nothing graphic. I hope he’ll…

If it exists, there’s porn of it.

Explain was the key word. You can show something, including the inside of someone’s colon, without explaining it. I was under the impression that the OP wanted an actual explanation about gaping, not asking where they could just look at it and let their imagination run wild on the machinations of the human rectum.

It’s actually kind of the opposite, the muscle has to be able to stretch and relax at the same time. If you pull something out too fast, the reflex is for the rectum to shut immediately, hence why it hurts so much more. But it is definitely temporary, it takes training and self-control to keep things in that state of…

Porn doesn’t explain physiology.

I wish I had an edgier answer, but Kaisla in Helsinki is a great beer house with comfy chairs, so as long as you don’t show up on a crazy weekend night with live music, it’s a good place to relax and no one will bother you. I don’t remember if they serve alcohol, but Cafe Dox AB in Stockholm is one of the coziest…

Their fashion is better than ours. I’d wear outfits like this every day if I lived in the climate to.

God that’s cringeworthy.

I’m not knowledgeable about porn, but I know too much about sex, so here goes (just clean your brain after reading): yes, you have to train yourself (or have a trainer) to do gaping or any kind of extreme anal. Pretty much all unpenetrated rectums are about the same if you look at people of similar ages. You…

I don’t really like most diet sodas and they’re not worth the hassle, but diet pepsi makes diet coke taste like the piss of a very embittered old man. I wonder if it will change the taste (or aftertaste, rather). tbh I think I’ll stick with my half and half sweet/unsweet tea when going out, diet Mountain Dew is the…

Do you realize the huge contradiction you just made there?

Because maybe not everyone has the same reaction to things? And people’s relationships differ greatly both with their spouses and kids, and also with grief?

You’re being a real dick to someone being open about how they feel. Guess what else is a super awesome sarcastic fact about life that you surely didn’t know before? You don’t have to agree with peoples’ reactions to things, because nobody gives a fuck about some asshole getting on their high horse about A STRANGER’S…

If it helps, it seems that most couples who get together later in life don’t go for the big wedding. That symbolic-as-hell event does seem slightly inappropriate, especially if both people were in long term marriages before. A party after a run to the courthouse is fun, maybe. My mom and stepdad have been together 8…
