If the struggle was purely mathematical, it sounds like it might be dyscalculia (coming from a math teacher) and it's a shame that you weren't tested, because there are definitely ways of teaching that can help that.

Of course she was never "slow." This just reminds me about all the talk about how Asperger's and Autism are "on the rise." No, it's not. It just that years ago we didn't have a name for these conditions, and so we called it "slow" or "different" or "strange" or "not right."

It was an article by Nina Hartley, who claimed that condoms can cause tears, as well as latex sensitivities. There are a lot of ways those things can be mitigated that don't involve eschewing protection.

A friend's boyfriend was recently diagnosed with adult ADD (among other things). He had a terrible, terrible time in school and kept trying and failing at college, despite obviously being smart. When he told his mom (who is one of the worst people I have ever met), she said "oh, yeah, your kindergarten teacher told…

From that angle? I wouldn't say textbook.

I'm really happy that she decided to come out about her Asperger's. The world needs to understand how having a disability is just as normal as not having one, and that it doesn't mean you can't follow your dreams, as cliche as that might sound.

Nina Hartley has been making the rounds talking about that. Lube doesn't do much when you're at it for an hour +.

There was an interesting article, that I'm not going to track down because I'm at work, that a porn actress who was also an RN wrote about how condoms — while an excellent, excellent idea for normals — sometimes make transmission more likely on porn sets.

I think he just tries way too hard to use a certain tone that fits in with the writing of other Jez writers (Lindy, for example), but it often comes off poorly and rubs people the wrong way. It's not hard for a man to be a good feminist writer, but it is obvious when they try too hard at a snarky tone and consistently…

By all means, behead my uterus, the little bastard. I swear it's sentient and hates me.

Yes but Viagra patent expired in most countries by the end of this year, I believe, which is why Pfizer also started selling it as 'Avigra' in a lot of places.

Generally the amount that's necessary for immediate absorption into the uterus means something like less than a tenth gets into your circulating blood supply. (It's one of the ways Mirena works.)

Yeah, maybe I haven't seen enough penises, but I've never encountered one with PIMPLES. That sounds like a different kind of problem altogether.

Brevity was not my friend with that last post.

That and I like sex tastes. It's a different appetite and I have my mouth set for that flavor when I wanna throw down. Now, if he wants to grab some brie and bring it back to bed on his post-coital water-refill run, that'd be A-OK by me.

He wrote The Devil's Advocate? Huh, that kinda makes sense.

You know, things that are ONLY for sexy fun time and can be enjoyed for 2 are oddly in a different category. It's like that's ok... and even then, if she buys more so than the guy. But at no point are you ever going to go, "Damn! Forgot to do laundry this week. I guess I'll just have to wear this cock ring! …

All my texts have correct grammar and spelling. Is that because I'm old or just pedantic.

Um, you ended that second sentence with a question mark, so now I think you're a liar?

That's cold.
