    You did it right. You established the standard he has to live by in your house, but at the same time you didn't make a big deal out of it. If you make too much of an issue out of it, you run the risk of making it seem attractive. And also, frankly, if Playboy is the most sinister thing a teenager (or almost-teenager) is involved with, you're in good shape.

    I don't know how to reassure you more. I love it and would be happy to eat it all day. Does it smell pretty like a rose? No. But it feels a lot better than thorns do, and that probably has something to do with it.

    Actually, it continues to grow, but never beyond a set point. Penises (like feet, noses, eyeballs and most parts) pretty much stay the same size once you reach adulthood. Most people are done growing by the time they're 20 or so.

    Your very last question is the answer. Poor people, who obviously cannot afford health insurance or decent health care, have limited access to birth control or abortion -- if any, depending what state they live in. Telling people to abstain is unrealistic, particularly when sex is one of the few comforts someone can actually afford. But providing birth control and education on how to use it makes a lot of sense. Nobody has children to get welfare benefits -- that's a fantasy idea of the right wing and the uninformed. No one wants to be on welfare if there's a choice, and as you rightly point out, having more children is a good way to stay on welfare.

    My wife and I have a joint checking account, which is used mostly (but not exclusively) for bills, and a joint savings account. But we have separate credit cards, and neither of us pays much attention to how the other uses the cards. Every couple manages money their own way, and if it works for you, I don't see anything to worry about - for you or anyone else.

    People who bait others want to be validated by a reaction, so I don't give them one. Inside, of course, I feel angry.

    in reply to: Slavery still around? #31815

    Andrew
    Participant
    A couple of years ago, the Baltimore Sun won a Pulitzer Prize for sending a couple of reporters to Sudan, where they bought a slave and then set him free. Slavery exists in some less developed countries. And in several more modern countries, prisoners are used to manufacture things, which could be defined as slavery.

    in reply to: Why fake when you can teach? #38625

    Andrew
    Participant
    Not all women have the confidence to teach. They're afraid of hurting men's feelings. And for good reason: Even fewer men have the confidence to accept constructive criticism on such a personal topic. They interpret it as rejection. Consider yourself lucky to have a forward girlfriend and also to be able to accept what she had to say in the right spirit.

    Young men have a hard time pacing themselves. On the other hand, their erections return more quickly after orgasm. I doubt frequent masturbation is the cause of your problem. If anything, you might want to try masturbating before having sex in an attempt to slow yourself down.

    in reply to: Why accept gay marriage? #19540

    Andrew
    Participant
    When you degrade a person to the level of a dog or a machine simply because he or she is homosexual, you are implicitly saying that person can be treated as such. Do you really mean to say that gay people are the same as animals or machines? If that's not what you mean, then consider why they shouldn't be treated the same as the rest of society. How does it harm you if gay people marry each other?

    Many scientific studies have shown homosexuality is ingrained at birth - it's not a 'choice.' Equating a trait a person has no control over with a behavior a person consciously chooses makes no sense.

    Their features are closer to Asians' than to Europeans'. As far as I know, I don't think race is a function of geography or climate.

    Around here - Long Island, NY - teachers are well-respected and well-paid.

    in reply to: Jews as minorities #14671

    Andrew
    Participant
    Obviously, most Jews are white and in that sense are not minorities. But in an overwhelmingly Christian society, Jews are certainly minorities in some sense. The sense of exclusion and alienation may not be as intense and as constant as it is for blacks or homosexuals, but when the world stops for Christmas and Easter but not for Yom Kippur and Passover, we know how it feels to be the visiting team in the ballpark.

    in reply to: Anti-animal behavior? #41823

    Andrew
    Participant
    Homosexual behavior occurs in almost every species. It's been thoroughly documented among various kinds of birds and primates. You can look it up. Further, I don't get your logic. Are you saying we're not 'higher' because we do something that animals don't? That makes no sense. We write and speak and make music and make Furby dolls, unlike other animals -- does that mean we're not 'higher?'
