'Out Of Gas'
[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.
Why is running off with a man always the expected default?
The internal feminist (who gets louder the later it gets) in me reckons it's because women are socialised to think that love and sex revolve around men.
I'm always quite amused by the (stereotypical representation of) lesbian fear that bi girls are going to run off with the nearest man. I'd be about 90% more likely to run off with a woman.
I'm surprised that the guy's BF walks in and thinks this means the guy has always been straight. If you've been having 20 years of gay sex and 2 years of straight oral sex, isn't the conclusion to leap to that the person is bi? I mean, if you're no longer letting them label themselves?
I respect the right to self-identify, but then again, there comes a point where we're not communicating efficiently anymore, because the words have so many meanings.
She was awarded best speaker for the night! Not bad given English is her second language.
Yay! Good stuff, Wallybee!
I went blonde with this one...I also like the stonework.
She's evil. I like her.
Because this shouldn't please me quite as much as it does.
Yeah, save me a seat in the special hell, then, cuz.... w00t!
"NO, Mommy." Her voice got steely. "I mean, tell me their names."
Awwwwww. What a darling!
Darius was champion racer for more than 6 years. Reaching his age, in pretty good health until the last day, was a real blessing.
A flight of angels wing thee to thy rest, Darius, and bring comfort to your humans.
Could praying types please send one up for my soon-to-be father-in-law? Fuck cancer, again, and all that. It may be urgent, or it may be another of the thousand near-emergencies that turn out not to be quite as bad as we think. I'm a mean, selfish person who's losing the plot because my wedding is ten days away. But that doesn't appear to be stopping me losing the plot over that.
Peace~ma to Seska, and The Girl. Lots of not-so-bad-as-first-thought~ma for your STBFiL. And lots of hugs.
Well, he's still on Mama's milk at 16 months grumble, grumble. I wouldn't really mind except he's still nursing like a newborn. It's kind of nuts lately.
Good to see you here, GC. My sister breast-fed all four of her boys, and was very active with her local LaLeche League, eventually becoming a leader. I had cause to pick her brain on behalf of a friend, and one of her suggestions was to set a timer, to nurse for half the time as you have been. After a few weeks, can cut the time in half again, etc. etc. Spoiler-font for unsolicited advice - no obligation to look at it if you need commiseration rather than a fix.
I've had a productive day - got a front bracket for my car, got my VT license and car registered. Wrangled with the insurance and COBRA people - evidently I was supposed to sign up with Blue Cross Blue Shield for COBRA and I will be switched over in June.
I'm sorry to hear you are having such a mess with your insurance. I hope you get it all straightened out soon so you can get your meds.
because there's a cultural assumption that no one *enjoys* performing cunnilingus just for the fun of it and it's some kind of chore to get a partner to go down on you?
...really? I both missed than memo and have been extraordinarily lucky in my choice of partners, then.
t edit Er. Sorry if that was TMI.
but NOT sorry it was TIM!
Well played!

In this, I like to quote Shirley Manson of Garbage -- "Get down, get busy, or get the fuck out."
I'm partial to "If you don't like pussy, you don't like girls."
News to me too. I wonder if that is leftover from the 50's cause3 I don't know many straight/bi guys my age or younger (or lesbian/bi women) who don't have various degrees of enthusiasm for it. I could say more, but maybe even in Bitches there is such a thing as TMI.
Well, I think the cultural assumption at this point is very much that people are expected to do it! Just not that they'll enjoy it.
