I just looked closely at the computer keyboard I've been away from for over a month, and I'm almost positive there is a mouse turd crusted on the side of the J key.

Maybe the mouse is trying to spell out a message.

Not nearly repressed enought to build up a serious kink.

Kink needs repression? I guess if everything's mainstream then nothing is kinky. Is that what you mean?

I think pressure leads to warping. I'm sure you can be born kinky, but I think a good Catholic upbringing will really bring it on. That which is forbidden takes on super exciting taboo power.

I guess if everything's mainstream then nothing is kinky. Is that what you mean?

I do mean that also. Though the Folsom Street Fair is fairly mainstream for San Francisco and it still seems kinky to see somebody being lead down the street wearing a hood and a leash in the middle of the afternoon.

So if to a Swede everything's perfectly acceptable in bed (I'm not of the opinion that kink needs pressure, myself), saying someone's as kink-free as a Swede just means they come by it easily. Everything is wholesome.

Which reminds me of a question--for some reason I'd assumed that the reason homely men can succeed in straight porn is because male consumers are likely to have a hangup about watching pretty (and therefore drawing attention to themselves) men onscreen. But I was recently told that some guy named Peter North revolutionised the look, and that guys are now not remotely cast for plainness. Hot is fine.

Is this true?

I've heard the reason that homely guys are used in porn is because they use whoever has the ability to get it up on command and fuck all day for the multiple takes, and that's just a limited pool of guys to start with.

saying someone's as kink-free as a Swede just means they come by it easily. Everything is wholesome.

That's not really what I'm saying. I'm arguing that having a healthy attitude toward sex (which I am attributing to the Swedes without any proof) precludes kinkiness. Kinkiness requires some pathology. Without the bent element, then there's no kink.

Dear People at work.

OH DEAR LORD. Please stop being so annoying. You're giving me a headache, and I want to smoosh you all.

OKTHNXBYE.

My best friend's twins were 6 weeks early and little -- 4lb 2 oz and 4 lbs 12 oz -- but they have grown ginormously in their first 6 months.

Boy is over 20 lbs now and

Girl is about 18 lbs. If I remember correctly, that's bigger then Plei's (OMGSOADORABLE) 17 month old.

I love seeing those babies, lisah. So so so so cute.

BTW - I showed my co-worker some of the pics of O&O, and she said, "Those are two of the most beautiful kids I have ever seen."

Too true, but look who's talking. The Buffista sprog seem to have the same thing going as the sprog in my husband's family. There's not a dud in the bunch. Everyone's so pretty.

ION, I've always washed prewashed produce, because I don't know how it's handled, or who's handling it, or who's watching.

One gorilla took Prozac for anxiety that seemed to be associated with her menstrual cycle

I wonder if they tried giving her Wint-O-Green LifeSavers, first. They worked for this gorilla.

Confused now. So, let's take our hypothetical Swede. Said Swede likes to get his bork on whilst wearing the Leia outfit from Return Of The Jedi. If it's because he enjoys it, does that mean that he is kinky or not?

I guess I'm asking if you're arguing that Swedes who like more-than-vanilla sex are not kinky or that leather/ponyplay/whathaveyou doesn't exist in Sweden.

Kinkiness requires some pathology.

I would disagree (without any proof).

Hypothetically, I think there could be a person without pathology who just likes being tied up during sex.

---

Said Swede likes to get his bork on

BWAH!
