Wow, man. That is so rude. I mean, what, are you supposed to change a diaper on a shuttle (and I bet on a packed shuttle, everyone would totally appreciate that)? That would have people complaining, too! There’s no winning. Besides, I think it’d be better to wait (especially if it’s only 15 minutes and you’ll be…

You’re exactly right! I have vaginismus, but it took a while before I was diagnosed, because I saw gynecologists like this guy who didn’t take anything I said seriously. I said it a few times, but this commenting section managed to know my problem even better than the doctors I saw! What a world, right? :)

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear about it. Vulvodynia sounds really difficult and terrible. I actually have vaginismus. I’m glad that you’re feeling better, though! I hope it continues to get better somehow.

Aww, thank you :) I was so embarrassed and upset that all I wanted was just to leave. It was actually my partner at the time who convinced me I needed to file a complaint. It was just so embarrassing that I wanted to ignore it, but he said that it should be done (and he was right!).

Well, thank you! :) I think he just had to write a letter of “apology” to me, which looked like a cut-and-paste kind of deal. I have to imagine he’s retired now, because he was no spring chicken when I saw him quite a few years ago.

Thank you! I never did go back to him and later found a pretty great gynecologist (I moved, so I don’t see him anymore), so happy-ish endings!

I don’t know if this counts or not, but here we go.

I know what you mean. Sometimes, you’re just not a kid person. I accept I might be a monster, but really, I’m just a touch-me-not, and kids really tend not to get that. :3

I have to agree. I don't know if I'm gray-a, demisexual, or what, but sex just isn't that great (even when it's fun). It's probably related to sexual trauma and internal issues that are boring and dumb, but when TV/media makes me feel sad or bad, I can turn it off and I don't have to feel guilty about it. People…

My answers are consistent with this model: sex is always difficult for me and rarely a net good. Binge-watching, on the other hand, is a steady and reliable friend most times.

I just don't date anyone who wants kids. I get that out of the way pretty quickly, because it's not something you can really compromise on easily. I know that sounds like a cop-out, but I feel like this is the kind of thing that sort of makes or breaks a relationship, because what's the solution? Someone has to…

I assumed I'd be a parent when I was a kid. I thought there wasn't any choice involved, like... you got married and had kids, just like you went to school. Unless there was some kind of health problem (two of my aunts never had children, but for one, I'm not sure why. Maybe she never wanted them or maybe it was…

I was 23 at the time of my sterilization. I had to go to a number of gynecologists to find one that agreed to, but he told me that basically, the minimum age was 21 for consent and while it helped to have a mental health professional sign off on it (he mentioned that this was something nice for any elective surgery,…

I think that this makes sense. It's like any relationship. The work that you put into it is more valuable than the time spent. I can have a great, meaningful relationship with someone I talk to once or twice a month and have very little relationship with someone I talk to every day.

For a bachelor party, what's the groom like? What would be special to him: a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing? A quiet night with the people closest to him to just relax and enjoy? Start from there and work your way out.

I can see it as that type of thing. I've discussed sexual pasts with friends and partners, just out of interest. What have you done, what do you like, do you like casual sex, do you have kinks, etc.

I feel like a lot of this depends on the context of the question asked and what the person is looking for in the answer.

I don't know! I thought they did, but maybe they don't. I don't really get the emojis I see on iPhone-related stuff.

I like them because they can make the tone of a text clearer and then I don't get my mom all mad at me because I was "too curt" with her. A smiley face can make a text seem friendlier! I don't have an iPhone, so I don't have any of the dancing girls or eggplants.

I think people (okay, maybe just me) might be subbing in "online TV" for Netflix. I can't get Netflix where I live, so I just did the next closest thing, which was "online TV".
