Comment of the Week: To Tattoo, or Not To Tattoo…

photo by madaboutasia I’d agree with everything on this list except #7. For chrissake, don’t get a tattoo that has anything to do with the ex. It’s inevitably the same in a breakup: at first it consumes your world to an extent that makes it seem tattoo-worthy — oh, the pain! But by the time you screw […]

Comment of the Week – Can Married People Have Opposite-Sex Friends?

Let’s clarify that question: Can/should straight married people have opposite-sex friends? Which begs the question, can/should gay married people have same-sex friends? These questions were inspired by the following recent comment: I have found that even though I’ve been married for years, I never spend time alone with my husband’s male friends, even men who […]

Comment of the Week: Women Can't Handle Rejection in Bed

photo by faster_panda_kill_kill Oh, pshaw. Girls often turn down sex for a variety of reasons. Try being a guy and telling a woman it’s not happening tonight. Guys get a bad rap sometimes for being sexually aggressive, pushy, not respecting women’s boundaries… but have you ever seen how a woman gets when she’s denied sex!?!? […]

Comment of the Week: Dug-Up Dirt Is Inadmissible Evidence

Sometimes our comments of the week are really funny, sometimes they’re extremely informative. This week, we thought this one would be good fodder for debate: Bit of a broad question… it’s like asking “Do men cheat?” Some men do, some men don’t, some women do, some women don’t. I dumped my GF hard and fast for […]

Comment of the Week: The Truth About Sagging Boobs

photo by St_A_Sh I have a Master’s in Lactation Science, so I know what I am talking about when it comes to all things breast: 1) Breastfeeding does not make breasts sag. Pregnancy and genetics cause the lost of elastic tissue, which causes sagging, NOT breastfeeding. If you didn’t nurse your children [i.e. if you […]

Comment of the Week: Fantasizing Is Human. Get Over It.

photo by cogdogblog I feel the same way about the guys that hold this double standard [when a guy looks at other women but gets jealous if his girlfriend ogles men] as the girls who read romance novels and watch chick flick marathons and freak out when their guy uses porn to masturbate. It all […]

Comment of the Week: The Sex Ed Teacher Blues

photo by our “wise guy” Figleaf I have the privilege of teaching sex ed to my sixth graders.  However, there are so many limitations to what I can tell my kids.  It can be SO frustrating.  I am deeply spiritual and a devout Christian but I have no intention of forcing my beliefs on my […]

Comment of the Week: Size Really Doesn’t Matter. Really.

Barb, on the post “My New Boyfriend Has a Small Penis”: I went from dating a very well endowed man to dating a, well, not so well endowed man. I was shocked at first too. He was without a doubt the smallest man I had ever dated. To my amazement, he was also the most […]

Comment of the Week: The Stupak Back-and-Forth

In response to our post “What You Need to Know About the Stupak Amendment,” commenter Kile wrote: Your article is non-sensical.  You state that women would have to buy a rider for a completely unexpected event, (who plans to have an abortion?) ALL insurance is for unexpected events.  People don’t buy car insurance because they […]

Comment of the Week: Hairy Balls Are Cute, Dammit!

photo by Rene (and then some) In response to the reader who posted: “i have never grown my pubic hair, and i always thought men didn’t like women with hair down there, its not only gross, but also filthy.” … There is really nothing “filthy” about public hair, anymore than there is anything “filthy” about […]

Comment of the Week: There’s No Such Thing As TMI with STDs

photo by altemark It’s quite arrogant to think you have the right to minimize any STD. It is true that millions of Americans have HPV, it is true that some people’s immune systems are able to kick it… BUT what about all the rest of the people who have to suffer with it for the […]

Comment of the Week: Pro-Choice Means Giving Him a Choice, Too

photo by internets_dairy I’ve always known that I’m in a minority on this issue, but I’m going to voice it anyway. I absolutely believe that if a mother doesn’t want the child and the father does, that she should carry the child to term and he raises the child. Is that “imposing” on the woman’s […]

Comment of the Week: Beware the Man Who Says “I Love Women”

photo via mijori “Men love women, and if some men think they need to whistle at women, they just go and do it.” When I read “men love women” in this sort of context, I get the heebie-jeebies because it’s not “men love women because women are people and men are people and so like […]

Comment of the Week: More Penis Empowerment

SP, commenting on “My Boyfriend Has a Small Penis”: Guys, really, 5″ isn’t a small penis! It’s average; no woman in her right mind would look at you and feel short changed.  I can’t believe more than 1% of all women out there would think 5″ is too small. I had no idea so many […]

Comment of the Week: Virgins Aren’t Sizeists

photo by ILoveButter “Please don’t kill me for saying this, but as a virgin I’ve come to believe that — at least in my own case — I have an advantage. I could honestly care less if I married a man who was 2 inches, 4 inches or 6 inches. It seems Western society puts […]

Comment of the Week: Four Thoughts on Fantasizing

1) I fantasize about other women all the time. All The Time. I’m in a wonderful, committed relationship with a gorgeous woman. I’m able to have my fantasies, and tell her about them — which means that they become part of our relationship. Something that brings us together, rather than something that drives us apart. […]
