YOU ARE A FOOL FOR AGREEING TO AN OPEN RELATIONSHIP. IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO GET "CAUGHT-UP" IN SUCH FEELINGS OF, PSEUDO-FREEDOM. SINCE DATING COUPLES WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE SEX, IT IS IMPORTANT TO DISCUSS SEXUAL TASTES DURING THE EARLY STAGES OF DATING. "Confused ... ," YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO FIND-OUT YOUR PROSPECTIVE COMPANION SHARES YOUR SEXUAL TASTES. TO ONLY LOOK AT A PARTNER IN REFERENCE TO HER/HIS EARNINGS-POTENTIAL AND LONG-TERM SUITABILITY USUALLY LEADS TO DISSATISFACTION - OFTEN, SEXUAL - "DOWN-THE-ROAD."

Or with Marigold. How far back does one have to go to find blame? We can can say that it's all Guthrie's fault for being unfaithful, but that negates the possibility that she was making him miserable in the first place. Certainly her willingness to make him miserable after his infidelity would suggest that she was doing so before. And while this isn't in Mortimer's original, Marigold might have done a neat calculation. She may have figured that she would not become measurably more happy if she did leave him.

My example will be Marigold Featherstone in "Rumpole and the Miscarriage of Justice". Having been presented with evidence that her husband Guthrie has boasted of committing infidelity (again), the formidable Marigold presently is asked by Guthrie for her decision. She declares that she's not going to leave him; that would make things far too easy for him. But she's certainly not going to forgive him. "I'm going to stay here, and NOT forgive you."

horrifyingly skeletal!).

Unfortunately, my doctor is in the hospital with a complicated illness right now, and I am praying for her recovery and that she's much better soon. I am experimenting with gluten-free products, and tried some pretty good rice-flour (Annie's organic) macaroni & cheese pasta. I can't eat it all the time, though because of the carbs.

Like JPII, Benedict has been packing the College of Cardinals with ultra-conservative reactionaries from Italy - this is analogous to presidents appointing to the SCOTUS - the next Pope and the direction of the RCC is largely determined by the College. I'm not sure that any of the people responsible for the thaw in theological rigidity expressed in Vatican-II are left around anyway, so it's likely that the new conservatives were replacing existing conservatives.

I think, to survive outside the 3rd World, the RCC will have to change - dramatically - in the next couple of decades and that it is unlikely to do so. I dunno - ever since I was touched by His Noodly Appendage, I've kind of stopped caring so much what the RCC does.

Oh, and @120: congrats on the diet!!! Keep it up!

I think of all intolerant religions a little like I think of breaking up with someone not suited for me. At the time of the break-up, I'm disappointed, hurt, unhappy, but in the long run, I wish them well, just not near me. Some time goes by, and I realize it doesn't matter what horrible ideas my ex had; he can't hurt me anymore. Thus with Catholicism. Don't like Catholicism? DTMFA.

The idea of a pope resigning is shocking only in its modernity. Used to be, with the state of medicine as it was, people had short deaths. They went from productive to dead without much lag time in between. It's only in the days of modern medicine and modern care that so many people can linger the way we do. So the pope is sort of nodding his head to what modern non-believing doctors can do.

@albeit @107: Wow. That post dialed right into my frequency.

@114 tachycardia and all southerners: Rats--sorry! I was trying not to generalize, as I know not everybody from any one part of the world is all the same. I'm a little bit of the following: progressive somewhere in the center veering left, a bit quirky (ask any of our regular bloggers!), and tend to vote Democrat. My hesitation towards visiting the Southern US is based on my belief that a lot of people there in the red states lean towards the right-wing conservative side, and might hotly disagree with---and disapprove of---my personal views.
But I'm glad to hear that southern gals know how to fend off unwanted attention, too.

Wait I didn't say that at all.

I prefer a dominant partner, especially if he doesn't give up the dominant position, even I'm on top or if I'm giving head. *swoon*

I'm pretty decently versed in not choking/gagging so thrusting doesn't bother me at all, in fact the aggressiveness kinda does it for me.
Posted by mydriasis]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:22:19 -0800 The Stranger My ex seemed more intent on choking me during BJs, then later with his own bare hands, rather than showing any concern for my actual pleasure. Whenever he offered to eat me I was left feeling like he was only doing so out of a marital obligation and that his heart really wasn't in it.

It's all water under the bridge now, and I've moved on since, but I finally
had to leave after nine years of doing most of the giving. Isn't good sex supposedly a two-way street?
Posted by auntie grizelda]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:12:11 -0800 The Stranger
You think giving head is a power dynamic where the giver has all the power?

Dude. Not always
