Ideally fingers, while watching tv

Fingering is my #1

Same. If I’m really stoned I’m more inclined to indulge him. I treat it as foreplay, not an orgasm seeking event

I was always the same way. As I’ve aged I’ll get some surprises, including vaginal orgasms but my partner never blinks at introducing a toy  

YES

Not all women like it, just like some men don’t like blow jobs very much. Oral sex is sometimes made out to be the gold medal but everyone is different. The best you can do is listen (and watch the Nina Hartley instructional video, found on youporn)

Dan Savage likes to rail against the idea of “look ma, no hands” sex. I think the number of orgasms would skyrocket if people incorporated toys or their own fingers while banging

Articles like this are fine but the real education should be teaching women how to say what they want and partners how to accept it without hurt feelings

Same. Could take or leave oral sex most of the time too.

We just moved from the inner DC suburbs, where infant care starts around $1800/month and waitlists can be two years long. It’s both financially and logistically terrible. And of course the workers usually make around $10/hour.

I agree, I think increasing subsidies and available centers is very important, but there are many of us in the middle who could benefit from more help, which can be on the back end like a deduction. The income limit is pretty high in this plan. $250,000 joint income limits for the deductions seems like more than…

Granted

Thank you for the kind words. I think my son will grow up in a different situation for the most part. We are in the city where there are other families who make the choice to live in low maintenance apartments in walkable areas whereas I grew up in the suburbs where apartment=poor. I don’t mean to misrepresent, we are…

There already is a credit for childcare. I wonder if this would replace or if it’s a situation where you chose which applies best to your situation

No worries!

I have no defense of alcohol, in fact I have quit drinking recreationally in favor of marijuana.

Looks like sales dipped slightly after the first couple years

I know that in Colorado it did not have a noticeable impact on alcohol sales

It could be like the student loan interest deduction which you can take with standard deduction

You can take some deductions (student loan interest, moving expenses) without itemizing. If this deduction worked the same way it would still benefit those who take the standard deduction
