Danger to the non-discloser
Has the young woman who does not disclose her STD until after unprotected sex thought carefully about the danger to herself in not doing so? Most people will remain at least semi-rational in the face of such an enormous betrayal, but must is not all. I have heard of at least one case where a person who knowingly infected another with an ...

Sleepy Time Sex
Prudie, Layoff the crack pipe. Yeah lets blame the boyfriend (as usual) for ''over-reacting'' to his girlfriend having noisy wet dreams about her friends and exes. Now I am not letting this guy off the hook because he should have commented long ago (like when it started bothering him). Bottling up emotion and being passive aggressive and ...

Sending Mixed Signals at the Gym?
Its about time that someone brings attention to an annoying matter of sexual decorum, or conflicting sexual norms, found in most gyms across America: people sending mixed signals. *There's the guy who stares at you no matter where you go, even if behind him. If he was focussing on his work out, then why did he turn around to stare at you? No ...

You mean there are consequences to having an extensive sexual past? Psychological you say? Emotional you say? Who knew that anyone would actually bother to ask about? And why should anyone's morality stand in judgement of my sexual past, because I am an individual law onto myself. How dare anyone make even a tisk or a whisk or a flinch at ...

Dear Prudence Shoddy Sterotypes
This article is a shoddy mess of overused stereotypes and snippets from letters to Dear Prudence with little to no actual supporting data. It starts out with an overly generalized statement that “we still think of the archetypal unwed mother as a Jamie Lynn Spears—a dopey teenager who dropped her panties and got in over her head.” Since I have no ...

Grow a Pair, Dude
Without seeming crude, the male worker in a female led environmental organization office needs to consider his OWN identity. If you believe in the cause and the idea of that organization, then do NOT leave that office. Rather, get in touch with your identity as a man. First, consider that God made Man. God granted man many powers and abilities ...

A Man's Rant: Spandex and Public viewing
After going to the gym nearly everyday over the past couple weeks, I am compelled to rant on a matter of public decorum which is visually distracting but seems to escape all public mention. WEARING SPANDEX CLOTHING IN PUBLIC WITH NOTHING OVER IT IS IMMODEST, PROVOCATIVE, AND at the very least PUBLICLY OBTUSE and at worst PUBLICLY SALACIOUS. ...
