It was explained to me that the "spiritual impurity" is a result of the potential life leaving the woman's body. As Stam487 (love the name, btw) pointed out, there are times men are required to go to the mikvah as well, including when having been in the presence of death. While it can be argued that a woman not…

Thank you! I'm more Conservadox than Orthodox, and plan on following family purity when I (Baruch Hashem) one day get married. You had better believe that if I find out I'm not getting knocked up due to early ovulation, I'm going to get a dispensation from my rabbi to go early. One of the things I love about Jewish…

Sooo, do you not have sex? Or use sex toys? Do you wash your partner's appendages with a sterilizing wash prior to insertion?

Also, the "I'm going to be mugged for my phone" I remedy by using an earpiece when I am walking. Not only does that leave my hands free for carrying and/or self-defense, but if the person doesn't see that I'm using a smartphone, then I'm not going to be at risk because of my smartphone.

I actually just signed up for it, and got a girlfriend of mine a subscription. I got mine because I travel a lot, and do a good deal of late night driving through areas of low population. As it is, two of my relatives and two very good friends have the info they'd need to track my cell phone, but let's face it, at…

You know, that really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Though, I have to say, I can't imagine anyone of my cats tolerating that as well as the kitten in the video did. One would lose patience and bat the fuck out of the bird, one would have a massive panic attack, and the kitten would think of it as an…

Not only that, a tattoo is not a signed, legal document. If a medic rolls up on scene and goes to resuscitate a patient who has "DNR" tattooed across his chest, that medic can either chose to obey the DNR, or perform CPR. Now, if the medic performs CPR, that medic may have a pissed off patient on her hands, but she…

This! I LOVE my home, and I LOVE that it is MINE. MY space, MY mess. I can share my space for limited amounts of time, but I really do not enjoy living with people. If I could find someone willing to live next door, or the next street over, I'd be over the moon. Or, if my partner traveled a lot. That could work, too,…

These aren't even factors that I would even have considered. Good on you for thinking of these things, and you're rightL they are missing, and it would be nice to see how all those elements fit in!

So this is a little odd, but I have family who did this- they run a business together, (porn shop on one side, pawn on the other, dirty DVD rental connecting the two) and live two doors down from each other. They have been together for over 30 years now, and have raised kids together. I once asked, when I was much…

Yup! I'm 31, and my bangs are bright effin purple! I get a lot of compliments on them, so I'm guessing that her opinion is NOT the majority.

Hearted out of my love of your sarcasm.

You can forgive someone without having any desire to see or support them ever, ever again. Case in point: I forgave the men who raped me, but would I EVER shop at a store where they might get the commission, sit at their table where they would get the tip, support their bands, etc? That is a RESOUNDING HELL NO! In the…

It never fails to amuse me that protesters outside PP clinics invoke the name of Jesus as to why women shouldn't get abortions. I guess it has never occurred to these people that Jesus was a JEW. JEWS believe in abortion, not as a form of birth control, but in order to save a mother's life, be it due to mental stress…

As a rape survivor, I can honestly say that had I been impregnated, I would have ripped that fetus out of my body with my bare hands, if I had to. It was bad enough I had his cock inside me unwillingly, but to have his baby inside me? For nine fucking months? My mental state was such that I would have killed myself…

I wash mine in the shower. Take it in with me, soap it up, rinse it out, hang to dry. I didn't know that they are supposed to be washed in cold water, but heck, if it was going in the washing machine, it would be warm water as well, so I'm just not going to worry about that little detail.

Waxed. I have a mistletoe tattoo on my mons pubis that I like to have visible. For a long time, I was only getting the tat waxed. Then I decided one day to have a full wax, and LOVED not getting clumps of bloody tissue caught in the hair during my monthly.
