It puts them all on the same level so that the virgins won’t realize how awful these dudes are at the sex thing.

As a dude, this whole double standard is puzzling as hell.

I’m super curious about this. On several occasions I’ve totally wanted to time it so I can see exactly how long it takes (based on the touching-to-satisfaction definition), but I always get sidetracked and forget about my objective. ; )

I’m into sex FOR the penetration. The rest I can do myself.

Every time I come across the “going all night” trope in the movies or lit or music, I laugh in my head at the perpetual teenager who must have concocted that ideal. Who ever thought this was a good thing? The same people who put food on genitals, no doubt.

Women wanted eight more minutes of foreplay and seven more minutes of intercourse

Interesting & smart point; thank you for giving me this to think about tonight #insomnia

Hang her.

I’m torn. At the oldest she would’ve been...18 at the time. But far more likely she was 16, maybe even 15. It’s safe to say she had no authority whatsoever. If my boss was in the business of mass genocide I might not be so inclined to fight him on it - as a defenseless teenage girl.

Hmmm. Is it diferent when it’s not romantic? I have sent messages to strangers that become friends like this, “Hey - I see you all the time making awesome comments on a thread that we share through so-and-so. We should totally be FB friends! and maybe one day we’ll actually meet IRL. Am I creepy?

I don’t necessarily think that they shouldn’t be punished. Hold them as a prisoner of war indefinitely, hell, execute them for all I care. Just be honest about it (though I’m not sure a female telecoms officer should be included in this.) Don’t pretend it’s some high minded “war crimes” trial where you sanctimoniously…

You’re an old? I remember when social media was Aunt Bee.

At this point, it seems, all relationships involve a sizable portion of time mutually cyberstalking in the beginning or beforehand, my marriage included. I bet you anything the letter-writer, if he does reveal his “secret,” will get a similar revelation from his spouse in kind.

Actually there is no line between romantic and creepy behavior.

Why? Because our lives are mundane drudgery and all of us want something, no matter how brief and stupid, that is magical and special to happen to us. No one gets an owl at age 11, no one follows a white rabbit down a hole. We sustain ourselves with fictions because reality is mostly an awful, cold place where you…

All of you cast judgement as your tax dollars have been used to slaughter countless innocent people in the Middle East and North Africa the past ten years. Shame on all of you.

It’s pretty self explanatory. “War crimes” are defined by the person who won the war. If you win, you won’t prosecute yourself for any crimes. It’s basically a form of further punishment/revenge.

I am of the mindset that a lot of people “knew” a great amount of wrong was going on. Large numbers of people went in & didn’t come out. But we didn’t prosecute the villagers who surmised the mass murder. Why would a 50 year old villager who *knew* be less culpable than a 20 year old telegraph officer who also *knew*?…

while not a perfect comparison I cant help but think there are people in the middle east who under the fear of ISIS or Al-Qaeda “take part” in certain atrocities for fear of their own death. Without knowing more details about what this person did, Id hesitate to pass judgement.

You do realize that she would be put on trial in JUVENILE court because she was underage at the time she worked in the telegraph office. Whatever retribution you’re looking for you are not going to find it from a Juvenile Court sentence. The most that will be accomplished is a lot of people patting themselves on the…
