Phil H commented on Natural Communism.
I've seen this a lot. My young children never want to play the competitive games I introduce. They only want to cooperate.

Phil H commented on SL Letter of the Day: Mr. Wonderful.
Er, letter writer, you're not broken. I know you've got a diagnosis or two, but they don't mean you're broken. Or that you have to go out with other broken people.
On the sex thing: I'm fairly sure my wife doesn't have vaginismus, but we always aim for an orgasm before penetration anyway. That's a perfectly normal thing to do, regardless of your diagnosis.
On the anxiety: if you have anxiety issues, the best thing to do would be to find a boyfriend who doesn't set them off. There are lots of men out there who won't. They're not necessarily better people, but their particular assholishness might be a kind that you will feel easier to handle. You don't have to find Mr Perfect. You just have to find a Mr Average who doesn't completely twist you up when he gets mean drunk.
@16 - I know what you mean, but what's wrong with learning? Socialising yourself is a good thing, not to be sneered at.

This is something that piqued my interest back when I was a teenager: http://www.numeridanse.tv/en/catalog?med…

Synthesis: here's an idea to blow everyone's minds.
Maybe Melody is wrong, but not reprehensible!
I think there is an error in her logic, as pointed out by 19. But at the same time, she's expressing some reasonable ideas about ballet effectively and sympathetically.
Having read this, I feel more inclined to go and see some modern dance.

Phil H commented on Today in Depressing Headlines.
"I have to agree with the editorial's assertion that the girls need to take more responsibility for going to a party, getting drunk, and having sex."
I'd like to second that. Being raped wasn't enough of a penalty for these girls, obviously not enough to make them be responsible. We need something more, perhaps like... oh, I dunno, public mocking on the internet until they kill themselves. Can be sure those dead girls ain't never going to make that mistake again.

It's still a fantastic headline, because we now have it on NYT authority that Dan NOES what god wants. He is the mouthpiece! Dan for pope!

Phil H commented on Advice Cop: A Clear Case of DTMFA.
Yeah, she's the worst sex advice columnist in the world. Every week, it's like, of course you can do what ever you want - just don't trouble your significant other with your nasty perversions.

Phil H commented on Savage Love.
Nancy never actually says that Carl's expressed any interest in sex toys at all. So I'm guessing that this trip to the sex toy store is really more for her than it is for him. No problem with that, and if she wants to cover it up with an "oh, it's for my boyfriend" then that's not the end of the world. But if you're smart enough to read Savage, you should get smart enough to admit to yourself and your boyfriend that you want a little more variety in the bedroom.

Phil H commented on Savage Love.
"I recently spent a lovely day snorkeling with my wife in Mexico."
1) Did your wife in America know?
2) Please tell me snorkeling is a euphemism. I intend to use this phrase regularly from now on.
