I'm still sad about polyamory, after falling for, and therefore having to break up with, a poly guy recently.

The term "heteroflexible" unfortunately gets used a lot to mean "Tee hee, I'm a woman who makes out with other women in bars because the men think it's hot!"

Really? Those girls would use that term? I mean, I guess so, but it feels so much more academic than Katy Perry.

OMG, Liese, I love you.

I wish there were better names for sexual positions. I hate both "missionary" and "doggy style" as terms.

I knew someone in college who insisted that this was what the "I'm straight but not narrow" bumper sticker on her car meant.

Ugh, seriously????

Seriously, people. I am an actual missionary, one who has only ever had sex with her husband, and I don't just do missionary position.

I t heart Liese.

I Liese.

Amen to that!

Ha, Liese!

Wikipedia:

Among heterosexual couples in the Western world, vanilla sex often refers to the missionary position.[...]. It can also be used to describe insertive sex without any element of BDSM or any fetish.

My assumption is that by insertive they don't mean anal, since they say missionary.

I asked my sister, because she's a professional (anthropologist, not sex person). She hooked me up with the journal linked to from the wikipedia article, but that's about homosexuals. Very frustrating. But it does say that 1/3 of British straight couples engage in occasional anal sex, which for me would put it on the boundary of vanilla--but it's not something you ask a nice girl to do on a first date, you know? And vanilla is that stuff.

Whew.

Just had an "OMG, what's on the laptop screen?" moment when the cable guy walked in. Scarecrow & Mrs. Flynn fanart. Unbusted.

isn't that Scarecrow and Mrs. King? Man, my mom loved that show. We watched it all the time.
