The first one that said "harlot? *ducks*" made me laugh at it's audacity, but then it wasn't so funny after that. The article itself dismissing "lover" out of hand annoyed me, too. I love 30 Rock as much as the next girl but Liz Lemon makes me sad sometimes the way she seems to be grossed out by sex sometimes. Grow the fuck up, everyone. People sleep around and many people are lucky enough to enjoy it.
When we did the love chapter in Spanish class, people were all excited about "amante", but the Spanish teacher was all, "But the thing is it is implicitly illicit, like an affair or premarital." Jesus, isn't that a word that covers a lot of the sex that happens?
I'm not a great fan of seeing marriages break apart and hearts broken, and I'm not especially sympathetic when it's a republican governor who seems to have a sense of entitlment about it, but Jesus Christ, people. It's what people DO. Sometimes it doesn't happen, but it frequently does, and the times it doesn't it's still a horrible burden thinking about it and resisting it all of the time. Even in a utopia, hearts would get broken a little sometimes.
