so I have, almost always, been certain of my asexuality.
I never was sure of my romantic orientation but I eventually identified as aromantic.
now I’m thinking I might be demi-grey-panromantic.

Many government employers in Michigan will be barred from providing health care benefits to the domestic partners of public employees under legislation signed by Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday.
Snyder said the prohibition will not apply to employees of the state public universities or to state government employees.
The measure does apply to municipal and school employees, and to...

So I started dating my best friend, who is polyamorous. I cannot get my head around the thought of polyamory. I don’t understand it, but only because I don’t know very much about it, and that is making me feel weird about this new relationship. I asked him to explain it, and he did to the best of…

don’t call a woman “mannish” or “masculine” without asking yourself whether the characteristics you’re referring to actually have something to do with maleness, or have simply historically been considered too human for women to have access to.

thefeministslut:
The first thing you should know about me is that I don’t consider the word ‘Slut’ negative.
Whenever I call myself a slut in the presence of others they assure me that i’m no such thing, like i’m putting myself down.
The word Slut has positive connotations, to mean it means a woman who enjoys…

I talked to one of my friends in my Japanese class about being sex-positive today. Well, I talked to him about decisions I’ve made and he talked about how he disagreed with me.
Also I should probably mention that I forgot to take my prozac today.
So I’m talking to him trying to justify these…

I was on a date, and some crazy religious black guy comes up to us and starts cursing and yelling at us. “You’re going to fucking HELL for sticking fucking your tongue down his throat.” (Keep in mind, it was a simple peck.) And he continued rambling, on and on, about how it’s sick, and twisted,…

cuntflavor:

It’s hard to have amazing sex (from my experience, at least) if you don’t love your body! Various forms of the human body coming together (with one other or multiples, or by yourself!) is a beautiful thing and should be valued at all times. It should also be consensual, just…
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH SLUTS
loxyclean:
Unless, perhaps, if maybe they are a) spreading diseases, b) mass producing babies at an alarming rate, c) inflicting harm on another, or POSSIBLY d) breaking the law. There is nothing wrong with nudity. There is nothing wrong with enjoying sex. There is nothing wrong with being open with sexuality.
Can someone please bring to my attention, just what is so “wrong” with anyone ever...

ALWAYS meet somewhere public first, then head back to wherever you’re going. This is good for two reasons. The first reason is that it’s neutral territory. That means you’ll both be equally nervous, nobody has the upper-hand of being in an environment that is completely comfortable (aka a house…

gaywrites:
In San Francisco on Friday, a Department of Justice lawyer argued against the Defense of Marriage Act on behalf of Karen Golinski, who says the federal definition of her marriage keeps her from securing health insurance for her wife.
Golinski’s case initially began as a request to include her wife on her federal employee health insurance plan but has evolved to become a challenge to...
