Christmas shopping, aless

I may be MSE, but I'm not spending vouchers I've gotten for MY birthday on other people's Christmas gifts! :rotfl:

I never buy girly stuff for myself, so am just a bit stuck...thinking maybe some perfume or expensive make-up, hmmmmmmmm.

So did I

I hate the knee-jerk "!!!!!! is bad for women and makes men into misogynistic bastages therefore I am against it" response. Some !!!!!! is exploitative, some is not. Some men are misogynistic bastages and !!!!!! might support their bastagery - but I doubt seeing people having bizarrely posed sex is going to cause a lightbulb moment "OMG all women are only sex objects!!!!!!!!!" response.

I also hate the "oh no, *I* never watch !!!!!!, I think it's disgusting" by women who spend fortunes on Mills and Boon and those erotic fiction books you can buy in Ann Summers, or who settle in to watch Lady Chatterley with Sean Bean because it's an adaptation of classic literature.

GAHHHHH.

People like stuff that makes their naughty bits tingle. Why judge?

I've known many women who really enjoy !!!!!!. I know one woman who watches gay men !!!!!! and loves it. As long as she doesn't ask me to watch it, I really don't care what she does.

Oh and Lucy surprised me one day too :rotfl:(not gay !!!!!! :rotfl:)


Never forget the day my eldest found mine and last partners videos. Just the covers were enough to start the questions. Although my girls are taught everything on a when and need to know basis, pointing at pictures was a little awkward at first and no I didn't let them watch but the ones in high school plus are well aware of what the birds and bees are in more detail and the girls at primary school are aware how babies are made etc. Schools are hopeless in their education.

I wouldn't want my girls to go into it though, but when they are 18, I have no say, but I don't think it's likely at the current time.

I find alot of the women against it are big fans of the chippendales or whatever the craze is these says anyway.

You being in Germany are probably used to it being a bit more acceptable? I'm not sure how open the Germans are, but it's a British disease that sex is dirty.

Quite wise, your vouchers, your treat.

Enjoy, whatever you decide to buy.

Oh poo, I got a job interview for a great PT job back when we were looking at Sevenoaks as a possible area. Now it's too far away .

SS, you should copy/paste that !!!!!! statement in the discussion thread about the poll...it's a hoot! And I thoroughly agree .

You have the interview now, but it's too far away or you had the interview? What is the job?

I'll get Lucy to look at the thread. If one thing gets her back up it's people attacking !!!!!! and or women being allowed to express sexuality(and those who do being called names - and no she'd never slept with anyone willingly before me, so maybe that's where it comes from)....actually i'll leave it, she needs as less stress as possible.

Hope everyone is having a great day today. Just chillin' before the massive week in 10 days.

Sex is quite normal here, the page 3 boobs are on the front page and nobody bats an eyelid. It helps that saunas here are no-clothing and people sunbathe naked, so by the time hormones start raging everyone's seen enough naughty bits that there's no mystery.

Explicit approaching...

What annoys me most about the attitude that sex shouldn't be talked about is that teenagers who get their sex information from pornography don't realise the amount of behind the scenes stuff that goes on. There are fashions in pornography - a friend of mine who works in a medical centre in the UK is horrified by the number of girls coming in with nasty infections because they've let their boyfriend go, um, from the back to the front without a wash or a change of condom in between. They don't realise that the girls on the screen are taking precautions to stop that happening before and after the shot.

I would be outraged. I'm sorry NMS

I didn't expect that reaction.

I don't think it was done intentionally. I think my Mum is more practical than sentimental, and wouldn't have seen it as the whole 1st pair of shoes where they take a picture and make a fuss scenario IYSWIM Anyway, Liam seems really pleased with them...he kept pointing to them
