Harmony and Andrew. That would have been the most glorious hour of television ever. He’d worship her because she’s fabulous, and she’d adore him because he’s the perfect sycophant. They’d be perfect BFFs who could swing between being the villains and the good guys…
Which is why we should all practice masturbation wherever possible!
In the US, May is National Masturbation Month… but that doesn’t mean you have to stop just because it’s June. It’s healthy emotionally and physically.
Did you know that it’s not just partnered sex, but also solo, that releases immunoglobulin-A? Find a night when you’re not otherwise occupied. Shower, light some candles, put on some Melissa Ferrick or Barry White, and go ward off some colds!
Female toplessness is legal in a lot of places in the US (although not where I live), and I’d be meeting the letter of the law with a couple of Band-aids. But I have a gut feeling that if I go anywhere that there are people—and particularly anywhere there are children—nobody’s going to be too happy about my Band-aids. The enforcement is social; women just don’t go around topless in the US.
It bothers me because it’s unequal, but it also bothers me in its implications: that my body is inherently sexual, and a man’s body isn’t. It feels like men are being viewed through the first-person lens of “it’s nice to feel the sun on my skin, and I don’t mean anything by it” and women are being viewed through the distinctly third-person lens of “it’s inappropriate for me, a heterosexual man, to see her sexy parts.” It ignores the experiences of people who are turned on by male chests and somehow manage to contain themselves when they see one.

The Pervocracy: My boobs want to be free. (via sexisnottheenemy) I have no desire to go topless anywhere, but I thought this made good points about perspective, and about how female [identified?] bodies are considered inherently sexual even when nothing sexual is going on or implied.
