Apparently it’s bc the one’s they’ve tried had side effects that were possibly similar to the female contraceptive pill (though I suppose even though they both say “mood swings”- you can’t tell the severity and permanence between the two so maybe they were actually worse than pill side effects). I mean there are guys…

I think the problem is most men jump to “well why do I have to pay for the baby?” instead of “why isn’t there a male contraceptive pill by now?”

Maybe? I do know some women who like dirty podcasts or audiobooks. I think text is popular because it’s personal- you’re not impacted by how the person reading the book sounds and you can go at your own pace, rereading certain sections as much as you like without having to rewind and play it again

Yes, but not for praying mantises- those original observations were under lab conditions that were incredibly stressful and unnatural 

Yeah when they’re discussing outfits I want to *see what they looked like* using either shots from the comic or screenshots as relevant. The illustration on top is pretty but they should have let you actually see what they were referring to

I’m not even arguing with the people who agreed with the writer’s opinion- I’m agreeing with someone with a similar viewpoint to mine. People can have different opinions, especially about something subjective like music 

Yeah a lot of these were bad, but “Kilamanjero rises like Olympus above the Serengeti” is a beautiful line. It’s not saying Kilamanjero looks like another mountain it’s saying it’s majestic and conveys feelings of divinity. And of course it’s geographic- the song is literally called “Africa”. It’s describing specific…

Yeah I think I can stand that song mainly bc it reminds me of that sequence which in the context of Southland Tales. The lyrics are much vaguer than the Killers better stuff but combining it with the more explicit way Southland Tales discussed the Iraq War it gives it a feeling of half-trying for an anti-war message.…

I think the bigger thing is women generally are able to use their imagination in porn more than men- they don’t really need to see genitalia to find something arousing especially if the other elements of a sex scene are there

Praying mantis females actually have only eaten their mates under stress conditions when they were starving. And those examples aren’t as relevant since they’re not mammals. In general there aren’t a lot of animals (especially mammals) that kill potential mates- infanticide and killing your rivals can be useful but it…

Eh- plenty of female mammals are just as happy to get their freak on as males. When a cat or dog is in heat you don’t go “oh well they’re female, so we don’t have to be as careful about keeping them in the house- it’s not like they’re going to have loads of sex with whatever male of their species they encounter”. For…

Eh- not really? There’s usually some bare bones plot but that’s kind of part of the porn? It’s like the classic scenario with the pizza boy- it’s that some person of whatever desired class finds you overwhelmingly important and beautiful and would do anything for you and then you *bang* - and then they check that…

Yeah it’s a bit complicated by the fact that Blade is technically a Marvel superhero (in the sense that he is though I can’t see Wesley Snipes’s version hanging around with Captain America). But Black Panther was incredibly high-grossing and more overtly presented as a superhero

Yeah I don’t get it- some of the teens in my class got those bc we had money though I’m sure instagram and facebook make those kind of photo shoots more possible. I saw an Am I The Asshole post about a teen upset they had to get their senior photos during their younger sibling’s binai mitzvah bc that’s when their…

Seconded! I *loved* that movie. It was so down to earth but also romantic. The scene where they hook up while dancing to Obvious Child? So cute

I’d say teen girls are more likely to read/write horny fan fic than watch pornography. A brief time on Archive of Our Own will show you there’s a lot of teen girls out there with dirty minds (and you can usually tell when they’re both teenage and girls based on their spelling/narrative ability and the fact the same…

I think it’s more that the risk of getting pregnant is much scarier for the person who has to carry it- and bad sex with a stranger is more likely to still feel good to someone with a penis than someone with a vagina since the vagina is a more difficult instrument to play. Feeling like a masturbation aid while you…

Yeah they made me take my glasses off so I couldn’t see and look dazed. In general, the goal seemed to be some forced ‘elegant’/’delicate’ thing which made no sense for my more or less bowl cut wearing (we paid a lot for that hairdresser but she was obsessed with giving me that weird puffy half short hairstyle) self.…

yeah they made me put that on for my senior portraits- which I ended up throwing out because I look ridiculous holding a rose. I looked like a drunk chipmunk. I’m still not sure why my mom paid for those photos

Yeah- that and/or something aware that a bunch of kids who’ve never tried anything before with endless supply of drugs and alcohol would probably result in at least a couple of them going to the hospital from ODs, alcohol poisoning, and drunk driving. A movie about people literally partying themselves to a somewhat…
