i love sexy, sexy irony. i'd do it with pretty much any sort of novelty condom (provided i'm also on the bc, as "novelty" isn't a word that inspires the utmost baby-free confidence).

seventh-grade missteenwordpower, who once unknowingly bled straight through her pants AT SCHOOL, would have worn these 32 days a month.

@EkaterinaBallerina: so obviously not dressing for the menfolk. and, consequently, UTTERLY UNSEXY, amiright?

@tacotico: thank god there was a sexiness representative in attendance. i so rarely get to hear what men think about a given woman's attractiveness.

you know, i was at a party last night of *deeply* interested spectators, and it often sounded like this.

@oh_desy: SECONDED.

junior prom: mrteenwordpower gets my dress off, nearly blacks out (his words). i hastily tie it back on.

"zoo"?

"Therefore, the girl willingly got herself into a state in which she could not act rationally. This, in my opinion, is equivalent to agreeing to anything that might happen to her while in this state."

you know, i spent years uncomfortable with *consensual* oral sex because i felt like it suggested "dependency and submission", so thanks for this gross rapey reminder, France.

@DreamingInGreen: "Because suck it, I live in an expensive city and this is anything but expensive in LA (I could easily pay 2x as much for a similar wedding without blinking in this city."
