    • Kids as Sex Objects :: tyeebooks.ca

      Posted by Sarahfelicity from The Tyee

      "It's just bad parenting to turn your little girl into a sex object and think it's cute. In my generation, the hippie parents, they've all caved to their kids. They want to be their friends. It was very cool to be your kid's friend, not a militant or authoritarian figure. So lots of children have big old balding friends but they don't have parents."

    • Vacuuming may spice up your sex life

      Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail

      That housework and sex are linked is not a new idea. It's in the realm of conventional wisdom that a woman's anger or resentment over her unfair share of household duties can undermine intimacy with her mate. What has changed is that men are beginning to understand that doing housework, or at least participating in a discussion about the management of the house, unprompted, goes a long way to creating marital happiness.

    • 237 reasons why we do the deed

      Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail

      Elizabeth Barrett Browning once famously asked, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." She came up with eight. Now psychologists at the University of Texas at Austin say they have catalogued the most thorough taxonomy of sexual motivation ever, categorizing a total of 237 reasons people dance between the sheets.

      Race Preference or Race Fetish?

      Posted by Shemuses

      When my friends and I discuss the idea of race and dating (or interracial sex, depending on the day) we tend to take the debate a step or two further and pose the following question: is it a preference or fetish? At what point does admiration of certain characteristics (mocha skin, jet-black hair, a petite stature, a porcelain complexion) become a full-blown fetish?

    • It's About Interracial Sex Folks

      Posted by Shemuses

      The truth of the matter is that the US is a culture obsessed with interracial sex, but nobody will say this in polite company. During the slave era and the Jim Crow era, white people spoke with repulsion and disgust at interracial sex even though many white men were routinely engaging in sexual encounters with black women. In the colorblind era, people are still obsessed with interracial sex. However, they do not publicly say, “Wow, interracial sex is: bizarre, disgusting, exciting, adventur

    • What if Harry Potter were a Person of Color, and/or Gay?

      Posted by Shemuses

      One my favorite mental exercises is wondering how things would be different if say Black people had enslaved whites or women dominated men. My friends often chide me because I've stretched this what-if-racial and gender paradigm to almost every facet of my personal life, arguing things like: my landlord wouldn't be such a pain if I were a white man and not a Black woman. Because clearly he thinks I can't fight back, you know, legally and strategically.

    Eco-Friendly Sex Toys: Why Your Pink Parts Should Go Green


    I consider myself a sex toy junkie, and have been using sex toys for the past 10 years. I can’t stress enough the importance of Eco-sex toys or so called Green Sex Toys. They are safe for you and the environment. Many sex toy manufacturers have completely switched into producing only sex toys that are phthalate-free, but I believe that everyone should impose on manufacturers and demand that sex toys are always "Green".

    GOP VP candidate Palin's 17 year old daughter is pregnant

    The differences in the Republican media coverage of Jaime Lynn’s pregnancy and that of Bristol are vast (though not that flip-flopping surprising). If I remember correctly, the Republican media thoroughly blamed Jaime Lynn’s parents for not raising their child properly and teaching her the not-usually-successful virtue of abstinence. Also, Palin apparently cut huge funding for a program in Alaska that supports teen mothers, putting responsibility on teens’ families. Unfortunately, not too many families have the same privileges as the Palins. Once again, we have the potential of outfitting the White House with a couple of lousy politicians who might be fun to go have a beer with (and argue their values), but are entirely unsuitable for genuine, positive leadership. Help us!!

    Glad that I can entertain you.  How much ruling and how much governing have the republicans done as of late?  Closed door sessions with big oil, ya, that’s governing.  I don’t trust that a McCain administration will act any differently.

    "expand government control of and intrusion into our lives as well as its reach into our pocketbooks"

    Since when does making sure the gov’t has the money to help those most in need mean gov’t expansion?  As in making sure FEMA isn’t run by some unqualified friend of a friend?  Or actually funding ‘no child left behind’ (not saying it is a good program, but fund it at least)? Oh, right, America’s neediest, are on their own, why should you or we care about them?  Why can’t they just get a job/pay for health care/get off drugs?  When people like that suffer and stay in jail/not treated/etc., our society pays a lot more than some taxes we might have to pay.  I am not a bleeding liberal, the pure economics of it state that if a little is paid up front to get someone on their feet, the down stream savings in health care, public lawyers, prison, etc… does more than make up for the cost up front. I know there is no utopia, some people will always suffer, but a gov’t and society that tries to help the weakest link, is stronger and richer for it.

    Also, Obama hasn’t talked about raising taxes for the lower to middle classes, just for the richer of those among us. 

    Biden brings more stability to the ticket than does Palin.  Even Lieberman is a better choice.  He knows how to buck the Washington crowd more so than Palin.  Just that he doesn’t favor government’s control over women’s bodies/lives…

    By the way, glad that there is a forum like this so that I don’t have to always preach to the choir…

    It’s clear that Palin is much more like Bush than McCain, although McCain has flipped to the President over this past year. His 90% voting the Bush line doesn’t look like any maverick to me. Palin’s crazy religious views reflect Bush. I remember counseling a young college student who had stabbed a young lady in his chemistry class because "God told him to." Her firing of staff people in her city hall because they didn’t agee with her mirrors Bush to a tee. How can a reputable party strongly endorse someone who so closely replicates an individual who has only a 29% support, which I have always believed is very suspect. No, John McCain didn’t vet this individual he just fell for another pretty face.

    Yet again.  This choice shows the Republicans just want to win so they can keep ruling, not governing,  the country.  She doesn’t even know what the VP does.  But she does think the way the farther right does, and that makes her ‘qualified’.  Political cronyism…Just like Brown (who ran FEMA during Katrina) and Alberto Gonzales (the former AG who was just  cited for misshandling classified documents, he didn’t put them in his safe at home b/c he forgot the combo).  Even David Brooks of the NYT doesn’t think she is a good VP candidate.  Great judgement Mr. McCain.  Hillary’s supporters know Gov. Palin does not represent their values.

    After further study and input I find this woman is a religious lunatic, the kind children often rebel against and do extreme acts just to dizt the parent.

    Apparently, Sarah Palin’s future son in law isn’t yet finished with finishing school.

    Not sure how representative he is about GOP family values.
