| Full Metal Jacket - halfway through my favorite character dies, and no matter how many times I've seen it before, I start bawling. Moulin Rouge. Cabaret. Zombieland. Which sounds weird, but it's the scene when you find out the guy's puppy was actually his kid. I know Dragon Ball/Z/GT isn't a movie b... |

Sex feels...awesome. It's warm and wet and frictiony, that is the only way I can describe it.  If you want to know what it feels like, auntblabby's suggestion is a good one. My hubby has a fleshlight and he loves it. |

| If I am having sensory issues and do not wish to be touched, I tell my partner immediately, and always in the gentlest way I can. That way his feelings are not hurt if I am not cuddling him, or if he forgets and touches me and I recoil. |

| It's nice to see some faces along side the names... I'm new here, by the way. It's very nice to see that I'm not alone. Here's a self portrait I did back in '07. Most people say I look scary. I was going for intense and dramatic. [img][650:499]http://www.larsbunch.com/Images/Misc/Self_Portrait_Dram... |

As a woman, I believe it is the perception that a man who is talking to a woman has already been proven safe, and so is possibly worth the chase. It is only a guess, however. I... |

| some bullies do feel bad in hindsight for their actions in the past and do apologize in the future. Christ, I hope so. I've heard cases of this, so I know they exist, it's just that the majority seem to just be as*holes. Part of the problem is that you always hear people explain bullies in this way... |

| He wouldn't get so upset about the bitter spray if he wasn't planning on continuing to chew the shirts. Frankly, I would have done that immediately after figuring out telling him not to do it (and traditional punishment that works with NT) isn't effective. I'm not a parent myself, but I'm not a bel... |

| I would do the spray. It's a tried-or-true aversion technique that I know helped me (I had the exact same problem, in fact.) You are not injuring him; ultimately coming into contact with the negative stimulus is up to him. Hopefully this will condition him relatively quickly to not associate the shi... |
