That 1969 Mass story was the best thing I've read in months. Thank you. I'm stopping there, because it's the perfect start to my day.

Happy birthday!

I read "The female price of male pleasure" and ugh. Just ugh to that survey about not even LISTING pain as a possible reason to want to get the act over with.

I don't have major sexual problems, I love sex and even I've done that, for fuck's sake!

Thanks!

LOL! I laughed till I cried with that one.

The article about forgetting is especially true for me and fanfic - I can't tell you how many times I've read something and clicked 'Kudos', only to have it tell me I've already done that. I blamed bad sleep hygiene cramping my short term memory storage, but maybe there's something more.

I'm definitely using this next time I forget something. It's not that I don't care, I'm just too well read.

This Is What Domestic Violence Is Like When You're LGBT

Thinking I would helpfully post the info for the Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project in Boston, I just went to find the URL and discovered it shut down at the end of 2015. I am aghast and stunned and horrified and just, just.... D:

ETA: at least The Network/La Red still seems to be a going concern.
