Hey, I like the sex part. But it is very much like waking a small animal. Fascinating. Their genitals are so interesting.

That is exactly what my husband says.

It's kind of sweet, in a weird way.

And it is interesting because so much is connected to cultural perception of male beauty. For the Romans, a small, shapely penis was considered beautiful. A great big hairy man-stick was admittedly good for fertility but was viewed comically- something to make fun of. Hence the depictions of Priapus as a hilariously…

Is it weird that I enjoy looking at them when they are in this state? They are like a small, ugly/cute mammal: like a mouse or a hedgehog. Something to pet. Then- they grow! Run! Or, you know, have sex with it.

Thanks. She is ok now, she knows that we love her. But it did hurt her for a long time. She was very young.

Thanks. It was pretty awful.

Thanks! My first book is here:

Here Here! That is a much more succinct way of saying it!

Thanks, though on a second reading it is obvious that I still havent worked it all out.

When I was a child- I may have been 9- my mother dragged me and my siblings to a 'Pro-Life Rally' affiliated with our church where we were made to carry signs we did not understand and give people THESE DOLLS after they had been covered in red jello. We carried them in a tin wash bucket. At the same time, we had to…

Free vegetables and fruit would be amazing. I don't follow any sort of 'system' but ever since I was a little girl, if I had any sort of choice whatsoever, my meals were made of vegetables, fruit and meat. No bread. Basically, I eat like a monkey. If someone paid me to do it my brain would probably think it was…

Diet Cherry Dr Pepper is the thing that I miss the most from America, after Trident Bubble Gum flavored gum. In the UK they have Dr Pepper Zero. It is NOT the same!

Over the course of the design process did no one stop and ask, 'Are breasts really a part of the skeletal structure?' There must not have been any women in the room.

About the 'Hexican' doll. My husband just glanced over and said, 'Oh my God! Does she have rib-cage boobs?'

I cannot believe that he got away with it, but I think I know how he did. This is a quote from a conversation that I had with my mother while the trial was going on. I should note that my sister, her daughter, who both of us love with the same fervor that have for each other, is adopted and a PoC. She said, 'And all…

I love working out. I get on the stepper, open my book or my computer and spend a few hours getting sweaty, getting smelly, and working hard on the books. I never talk about it to other people- except occasionally in media interviews because it makes a good hook, so maybe I should say that I never talk about it with fr…

Me too! Kathleen! Rose/Mr Rose! Matteria! Frances! Poor, darling, Frances! Even James (who is, by the way, one of the most tragic, sympathetic, and horrible characters that I have ever encountered) It is such a complex and beautiful story, incredibly wrought.

Also, Fall on Your Knees is a wonderful book that deals with this subject (by lesbian literary author/playwright Anne Marie Macdonald). It begins in Victorian Cape Breton, Canada and finishes in Harlem at the beginning of the Jazz age and involves one of the most touching romances that I have ever read.

I have often thought that the only way I would have been able to survive in previous decades would have been by cutting my hair, dressing snappishly, and pretending to be a man. I know that is not what these lovely ladies are doing. They were fashionable and brave, especially considering that lesbianism was considered…
