I'm just going to throw in a plug here for Scarleteen. If a kid (or anyone) is going to learn the real deal (accurate information, no judgment, consent and safety are crucial) about sex from the Internet, this is one of the best places to do it. So if you're ever in the weird situation of telling a kid to educate…

I live in the area. It really is a pretty Nice Place. If kinda boring. Best dog park in the whole area though! I've trained my dogs not to throw hot sauce on anyone. That's a pretty easy command.

I think we've been arguing this all wrong. We aren't advocating starting sex ed earlier. We are advocating for a return to sex education at an earlier age. Centuries ago, sex was much more obvious to children growing up. For one thing, try growing up on a farm and not learning about the birds and the bees at an early…

We're adopting one of these adorable pups on Monday. They're redbone coonhound/black mouth cur mixes. I'm so excited! :)

So... I climbed my potential new guy like a tree last weekend. The 8 month drought has ended. Dating a really attractive man has lead me to the realization that I have some serious self esteem issues though (I knew there was some self esteem issues before but not to this extent). Not really sure how to deal with it...…

I just watched 10 Things I Hate About You with my little sister, and I forgot how much of gem that movie is in the Pantheon of teen movies. It's so underrated; and Health Ledger was fun, and it had a lot of fantastic jokes and lines. This scene by Mr. Morgan character expresses how I feel sometimes when I read the…

Oh my goddddd Bachelorette guy, just. shut. up. Yes, you got rejected and yes, it sucks, but talking to the media about the amazing awesome world-altering soul-bonding sexual experience you had that one time during a reality show is not going to make Andi change her mind. Nor does it make you look good.

I looooove the softcup. Partner does not mind getting freaky that time of the month anyway, but it makes me more comfortable. Definitely took a few times practicing to get it in and out (ha) correctly without making a mess though...

Ever try a softcup? You can have sex while wearing them, and unless he flips the cup (which can happen, and if you've had that cup in for a few hours can be pretty gory) there is zero evidence you're having period sex.

Since abortion has been around since before clinics, cars, democrats, republicans, Texas, Roe, Wade, you, me our mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers great great grandmothers and so on- I'm pretty sure poor people will find a way to abort.

I think it says something very interesting about the attitude that forced-birthers hold towards women, where they think if they say, "that's it! No more abortions for you, ladies!" then women will all meekly shrug and say ,"Oh well, guess I have to have that baby now!"

Yep. Thrown in jail because they can't afford a nanny. This is America.

Never bothered me as a kid. Don't remember how it was introduced to me, but it was simple something like "boys and girls have different parts down there, that's a penis" and that was that. I changed my brother's diaper and my sister's diaper and wasn't traumatized. No big thing. We took baths together too as kids. Oh,…

This happened to me no shit like late last week and I was like what's up with his penis ohhhhhh! Okay. I also love that every time I change his diaper his first move is to grab his junk. My husband says he's just checking to make sure it's still there :)

Nuh-uh. Seeing your first real-life boner is jarring. Seeing a penis on a baby doll (or naked statue or actual baby or whatever) is no big deal unless your parents make it a big deal.

"But what I think a woman brings to a marriage more than anything else, to a relationship, is her youth. Youth is a fragile and diminishing resource. So if a woman were to invest two years into one of these marriages and then to be rejected by the man, I think that she has given up a valuable asset that is unequal –…

Mmm, shih tzu mushrooms. Hairy.

If Cosmo has its way, you're probably soaking it in honey and sticking it up someone's ass, to be followed by filling your mouth with live ants and giving them a rim job.
