As a freshman in high school i joined a FRC (first robotics competition) team at my school and became a 'leader' (1 of 8). since then it has basically controlled 80% of my time in the school year. We even meet over the summer fairly often! I love it, but that's only cuz i like it and im a control freak with no life. During our competition season i ...... reply
i have several problems
1- I am OCD about stuff, one of them being that i feel like i need to plan my stories out to the end with every detail before i write it. this leads to me burning out before i begin the actual piece and feeling like i have already written the story from all the detail in the so-called "outline" of my story.
2- i have lots ...... 2 reply
hello, you can call me a cat master. Among numerous pets, I have three cats and have had a total of (including my current three) five cats in all. all of my cats have been rescued or adopted because they wouldn't have survived elsewhere. The current oldest (head honcho like cat) was found nearly dead outside with his tail nearly fallen off. my fami...... reply
I guess by the definition of the word bisexual (being sexually attracted to both men and women) you would be. I am bisexual myself, fyi. I've dated both girls and guys, and I realize that I feel a different kind of like/love towards girls than boys even though I'm attracted to both. Basically, being bi you can be more/less/differently attracted to ...... reply
#switch FTW!!!! I love both, but I don't really enjoy S&M as much as D&S (dominance & submission) because ew pain. If you're talking about power dynamics in relationships the term is dominant or submissive. S&M is on a different level that involves pain giving/receiving. Just saying. They aren't the same thing. reply
I'm sorry that happened to you. Sadly, I have not gotten the nerve to come out to my family yet although I have come out to everyone else I know (namely all my friends). I'm pansexual but my parents only know about my most recent boyfriend and not my girlfriend or other boyfriend I'd had before. My parents are very liberal though and I'm sure they'...... 1 reply
Hey! I'm pansexual and just happen to be very curious but lacking in time. I was wondering if anyone would like to take a quick survey of their sexual orientation? It's just one question and anonymous and only to satisfy my curiosity and to get to know everyone better! I've been reading through all the responses but there are so many of you... anyw...... reply
Sorry if i come off as blunt or radical. And, side note, this may get a bit psychological... ╮(￣▽￣)╭
In this day and age, the general belief i seem to be getting from the culture & media around me is that sex should not be a shameful topic, and people should be able to talk freely about it and learn about it without having to be ashamed.
If so, in keeping with this idea, would it not be fair to allow the underage to read sexual materials such as yaoi or ecchi or smut or yuri? Don't get me completely wrong, I do think it is right to uphold things like statutory rape and prohibiting graphically violent material (such as gore like disembowelment or similar stuff) to kids. But if we are to become a more open society about ideas such as sex we should give them the information they need so they have time to contemplate what they want and to absorb all the information.
kids don't magically transform into adults on their 18th (or 21st, for that matter) birthday. they aren't magically imparted with sexual knowledge and mental preparedness that they will need to deal with it when it actually happens! They need to be taught. yaoi, or sexually explicit material, is just a method to expose people to sexual ideas that they might actually enjoy (and introduced in a non-clinical way such as a formal class about sex).
in the future, if we can stand to let go of this social norm, i think it would be good to change this one little thing about "TV-MA" or "R18" from sexually explicit material to just violently graphic.
Just FYI, I am a supporter of people also getting a formal and up-to-date education on sexual health and conduct. I have taken such classes myself but without reading yaoi there would be a lot I would miss out on. And, another plus to reading yaoi, you can't be too embarrassed to ask!
again, sorry if this is just me ranting to get my opinion out there. feel free to reply with your own take on sexually explicit material and it's age restrictions.
*** this question disregards the factor that a lot of kids read R18/TV-MA stuff already despite it saying 'don't read if you're not above 18'. this is about social stigma and formal regulations not de facto.
did made a horrible mistake
