Original article: Sex without nipples

What a dreary life!

"Women: then try to remember the last time your husband, boyfriend, whatever, gave any concern to your sexual gratification. I rest my case. Women should look out for themselves for a change. The men are.

-- Voxhumana"

I feel sorry for you Vox. My husband always makes sure I'm gratified. I do the same for him. We also care for one another when illness & sadness strike. There are more good men out there than you realize.

So many military haters--do your research

I'm finding the dismissive tone of comments toward the military option to be just as bad as the asshole teacher who bashed your gaming dream. Forget them all. You're smart right? So do your research about the military. Don't believe all the rah rah-hype of the recruiters, and don't believe all the hating of the super-lefty set either. Decide for yourself. If you are as intelligent as you believe, then learn as much as you can about the different branches, what jobs are in each, and length of service. The military is going to be what you make of it, like college. You can fail spectacularly and bitterly, or make a good go of it. If you get your degree, you'll go in as an officer, so right off the bat you're doing better than most recruits. Give it some serious thought and consideration. But for Chrissakes, don't join the Army or Marines, go Navy or Chair Force.

Nobel Fail

Don't get me wrong-I like Barry, but this really makes the Nobel committee look like a bunch of suck-ups. I don't care how frightening Bush's policies were, Obama needs to accomplish something, anything. I agree w/ previous posters, this makes the prize a big fucking joke.

Contrast the Crackerjack Peace Prize with the prize for literature. God forbid Philip Roth get the prize for literature. "In an outspoken declaration from Horace Engdahl, the head of the Swedish Nobel Committee, American authors are culturally “ignorant” and lack the clout of their potential contribution to the world’s literary canon." That right there speaks volumes about the merit of ANY Nobel award.

I don't care if your feet are ugly

I mean, I would never ever in a million years, voluntarily purchase a pair of Crocs. It is a hideous shoe. An affront to sighted people around the world. Wait, no. Crocs are an affront to my sight. But if you care what a stranger thinks of your ugly shoes, you've got bigger problems than getting Croc-stuck in an escalator.

I'm sure the patent-holders of the special foam will find other lucrative designs in which to put their technology.

Blonde men need not apply

"Likewise, a little extra weight on a man, held well, can increase his attractiveness (maybe asian women like that?). Few women like skinny men and the stereotype is that asian men are skinny."

You know, some women like skinny men..."

AMEN! I love love love skinny men, married one in fact. This thread is a bit bizarre. We all like what we like. I've tended toward men with dark hair and skin tone, don't really like blonds and think red-headed men are the ugliest things on the planet. But I'm not sure there has to be some deep cultural meaning to the preference between Eastern and Western women. There are plenty of submissive American women out there and plenty of bossy Asian girls. It is with regret however, that I must bow to the American girls are fat sentiment. But then, so are most American men, which is why I love my slender, incredibly wiry-muscularly built husband of mixed race Latino heritage with a 31 inch waist. Suck it fat American men!

Waldman and Lewis=meh

Forget the fact that people are paid to write on Salon, I can't believe either Waldman and Lewis receive money for their awful books. And someone needs to tell Waldman that Chabon ain't all that great, never was to begin with, and that no man is worth all the histrionics.

Original article: The dirty girl

I knew letters would hit histrionic heights

With shaving the beav as part of the interview, all the "shaving is pervy" "no! shaving makes cunnilingus better" "no! real women have bush!" comments showed up on cue. I agree w/ a previous poster that this started with the revealing bathing suits, french-cut one pieces and bikinis and the Carnival in Rio and the wee little triangles the Brazilian women wore. Add to that the mainstream acceptance of strip clubs and online porn, we have a generation of folks who view pubes as disgusting. I'm more inclined to give Millennials a pass with this view, since they've essentiall grown up with it, but skeey old guys in ther 40s and up who like Naked Mole Rat over Glorious Beav and Sleek Pussy, well then, that IS pervy.

But it all comes down to personal preference doesn't it? We like what we like, and it frankly is no one's business but our own. BTW, I keep a trimmed front and a close shave underneath. I've got the grown woman look, with the bare skin sensation where it counts!

Original article: Did I just buy an SUV?

Why not a conversion van if you need space?

Funny how people managed to get by for decades without the "cargo" space that SUVs provide. You fell for the marketing hook,line, and sinker. I'd totally buy a party-van over an SUV any day. While the gas mileage is terrible on "Party Vans", you can't argue with the cargo space provided in those things, and you get to paint evil wizards and naked warrior chicks riding polar bears on the door.

I just saw an ad for this program

I saw an ad for this program in a Dark Horse Comics issue of Conan. The old ad has NOT been update in anyway, and yes, there is an emphasis on the chest, on the cartoon guys anyway.
