requesting some job~ma for Tom, he has an interview this morning at 10am...
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Job~ma, Tom.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, yes - I mean, I have more than my share of sexual hangups, so this may be a moment when I realise what I total freak I am, but I'd have that for a lot of girls who are hitting puberty, the idea of sex is threatening/scary/intimidating on a whole host of levels. For one thing, when they're kids, the boys aren't usually that much bigger and stronger than girls.
Power balance - both physical and psychological - is surely a huge thing when it comes to sex? There are actors and fictional characters whose appeal is tied up with their potential for wreaking (sexual) violence. (Certainly if the cover art I keep seeing on SBTB is anything to go by!) And then there are the ones whose attraction is tied up with their vulnerability and breakability and all that jazz.
I get that, but I still don't see how it quite jibes with the "girls attracted to nonthreatening boys" thing.
When you're attracted to someone you want to touch them (I'm using "touch" because when I was 12, 13, 14 I didn't want to fuck the twinks so much as kiss them and sit next to them and marry them). Other girls wanted to touch big jocky boys or that one guy in the eighth grade who'd managed a mustache. Were they more "threatening" because they were more stereotypically macho? Were those girls less hung-up and me more hung-up? Did I eventually "grow up" and get over the arty boys? I don't think so.
I think the whole "nonthreatening" concept has more to do with notions that macho guys are real guys and fem guys aren't. And women who like the latter don't like real guys, they like some watered-down version that won't threaten them.
I remember when Titanic was all that and females of all ages were squeeing over Leonardo diCaprio. I remember SO many guys (radio particularly) saying, "But WHY? He's such a FAG." Really? Because he has sex with women. And aaaaallll these women are finding him more attractive than you.
