There is just so much to unpack there, buddy. So much.

Yes. Definitely hope this isn't a movie scenario where I know this person and don't know it.

What is it with men and there really bad hot takes about women and sex

Like the dude who was explaining that women shouldn't get wet when aroused. Or really wet. I think maybe he change this answer slightly.

To be fair, it can be difficult to talk about things you never witnessed.

*snerk!*

Well, thanks. The sad part is that if these dudes posted in the spirit of inquiry, Dan Savage or Dr. Internet, et all might be able to help. But they always act like, when they screw, they are really looking to disprove the Loch Ness Monster or go on mythbusters. (Not that there *isn't* mythology going around about that topic, of course.) But I think it's supposed to be loving(or at least fun)

A friend of mine that I've known off-and-on since eighth grade wants to be in more touch(I don't, I think, mean porn, but she *is* hinting around about some Identity Revelations(as truthfully, when is she not? She is That Person, somehow, even if I kind of think we all should be...maybe not this much.) still not 100% sure that porn is *completely* off the table. We had a big fight during Evangelical Phase 2.0(she was being pushy and judgemental, I was too crushed-out on a guy whose feelings were elsewhere to be sensible...we apologized for that, and I got a real flash of what it might be like to be...idk, Jane Fonda's tween bff. Cause it's probably been twenty years and twenty phases.She's a good person and more fun than I make it sound,but sort of a...born convert. We were roommates during a tough time for both of us...should it be like, "We rode coal together," now. Do I have to share my phone number?

If you're having doubts about it, email is much easier to file away and come back to when you feel more capable of an appropriate response. So I'd say no, you don't have to, and youo should only share your phone number if you're enthusiastic about doing so, rather than just comfortable.

This is filtered through my own biases and prejudices, clearly.

Thanks, babe. Maybe sometime, not right now, then,ETA: Kind of feeling like she'll go chase something shiny, anyway. Although I'm happy to share that I'm not upset anymore. Mom said maybe she quit drinking...maybe, actually. Although you can see where I get my infailable-hostess instincts from.

cheerios; Think somebody at the Pyramid Collection watched Andie in Pretty in Pink cut up that prom dress even more than I have. Even though it's just a blouse, not a dress...it sort of calls that to mind.
