Misogyny in *

[hiphopscotch]

It's interesting how our words... have turned into * .... It's like trying to play dirty mad libs now.

Um, yeah, especially for a site where the Fresh Giggles and Giggles After Dark threads are in a place called SPECIAL AREAS. Does anyone else find that kinda funny?

It's all over the forum, too. It's super distracting!

Haha, words that begin with EY are turning into *. Whyyy, Hello Giggles?

I'm inclined to agree with requiring condoms, but I am wondering if it's a free speech issues?

xyz - I think I saw some of that doc... And, yes, there's a huge problem with our society in that women being pleasured is considered dirty somehow. Think about how discussion there is about men masturbating and yet so little about women masturbating...

I used to think that female masturbation was terrible "wrong." But that is a product of my past, not really anything else. But I always felt awful doing it - especially because of the way women are portrayed in *.

However, the first time I did it with my boyfriend, his response was, "That is so hot." That's all it took. I

Summer - I was never taught that it was wrong, but I somehow internalized it anyway, probably because it was so hush-hush. None of my friends talked about it in high school or college, but when I was in my mid-20s, it suddenly became a topic of conversation and I was pleasantly surprised that it was so prevalent. It took me a long, long time to become okay with it. That's one of the reasons I like websites like Jezebel.com - they talk about stuff like that so openly that it's empowering.

I am completely on board with condom use being required in * for this reason alone: "Proponents of mandatory condoms counter that they aren't trying to push their morals on anyone, it's just a worker safety issue."

I don't know much about the * industry, but it seems to me that testing couldn't provide enough of a safety net. It could prevent the mass spread of disease, but not from just one person to another. I can't imagine they do testing every day, so who knows what's happening in the interim. And that doesn't even speak to pregnancy...

Me, too. And this is so weird, but I get turned on when there's talk of responsible, safe sex. LMAO.

I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with everything that has been said about the condom issue. I love seeing responsible sex portrayed accurately too. Because guess what, it ISN'T a big deal to pull out a condom. I get upset when movies show using condoms as something awkward or a hassle.

[brightasyellow]

I get just a tiny bit upset when there are sex scenes where they don't show use of condoms and there's no way that protection could have occurred. I know it's a stupid thing, but I notice it and think it's irresponsible. Tonight's New Girl (which I loved) had a moment like that and it took me away from the scene.
