    This sounds like a great assignment, Sarah! I think you’re looking to provide a new and exciting experience for these students–to get them into a part of town or a type of shop they have never visited before, so they can interact with people whom they might never meet otherwise. So I’m not sure an “Asian Barbie” is what you’re looking for. Any product or toy mass-produced by a multinational corporation seems pretty “mainstream”–even if it’s marketed to a minority demographic. Others have mentioned that novels with lesbian characters are pretty easy to find these days. This is true in many cities, but I don’t know much about Mankato (except I think it was where the Ingalls family always took Mary when she went blind or got too sick for Doc Baker to handle). It may depend on the town. Now, Mexican devotional candles are fun and inexpensive, and they may be available only in specialty shops in your town. If Mankato has shops like that, they can be really great for a non-Latino person on his/her first visit. Japa beads are used in some Hindu practices; shopping for those is likely to be an experience. If that’s too arcane, try nag champa incense. Send somebody to get something that sounds mysterious and magical, such as dried mugwort (a medicinal herb) or “dragon’s blood” ink (which, despite its name, is made entirely from plants)–that should be interesting. Good luck, and let us know how the assignment goes!

    Guys give better hand jobs and blowjobs. That’s just the way it is. Some women learn, though.

    Yes, people have sexual orientation.

    Science has found little or no evidence that it’s possible for someone to change his or her sexual orientation. Reparative therapy claims to change gay people into straight people. Some gay people have even found it possible to live happy lives playing a traditional heterosexual role. However, this requires the gay person to constantly repress his or her own natural sexual desires. It’s usually more healthy for gay people to learn to accept their sexuality rather than to repress it. Coming out of the closet can be a difficult process, but it’s worth it. Once you choose to undergo the “reparative” process, get into a straight marriage and have children, coming out of the closet becomes a huge problem. In that case, your decision affects many people–not only yourself, but your sp

    in reply to: Why hate “Fag Hags”? #22099

    Many gay men form strong emotional attachments with girlfriends. There are some women, however, who see a gay man as a challenge and want to convert them. This is a “fag hag.” A healthy woman forms loving and supportive relationships with her gay male friends. A troubled woman might continually put herself through the pain of trying to form romantic relationships with men she knows cannot return her feelings of sexual attraction. This would be “fag hag” behavior, and it’s really kind of pathetic. I wouldn’t say they’re hated, but they’re pitiful and they should get some therapy. It’s possible, however, that your gay male friends are just jerks. If so, find new gay male friends. They’re not all like that.

    As long as you’re not hurting anybody and everybody gives their consent, it’s OK … go for it.

    … if you want to get good at it, you’ve got to learn to throat it. This means it’s not only his whole penis in your mouth–it means you’re swallowing it all the way down. If you really want to learn how to give good head, it’s all about controlling your gag reflex. There’s lots of advice online about it. Mostly, ask him to be patient, hold your breath, and relax. After a few weeks, you’ll be deep-throating that knob like nobody’s business! On the other hand, if you’re going to be a priss and just lick the tip, let him know now. That way he won’t waste his time.

    … It’s buttsex. If it’s not clean, it’ll smell. Kind of like a vagina. If it’s clean, no unpleasant odors or colors.

    Foreskin makes the penis more sensitive, and lots of people find it damned sexy. Don’t get circumcised unless you want to go without sex for about six months. Hygiene issues? Ever heard of soap?

    If she’s 18 in Detroit, then of course she’s sexually active. The S/M gear could be just a fashion statement and nothing more. However, it is good for a parent to be concerned about a daughter’s safety. There are extensive S/M communities in many large cities, including Detroit. The vast majority of S/M practitioners use what they call “safe, sane and consensual” guidelines. There are lots and lots of rules to make sure nobody gets hurt. If you’re sure your daughter is mature enough to tell the difference between a responsible partner and a wacko, perhaps you could open a conversation by simply asking her pointblank about the cuffs. She probably will be uncomfortable talking to a parent about it. Try not to be judgmental–make sure she knows you’re asking only out of concern

    Let’s see: Since gay men normally form romantic attachments to men and not women, and since lesbians are women and not men, it follows that, no, gay men do not normally form romantic attachments to lesbians. Similar logic can be used to determine that, no, lesbians do not normally form romantic attachments to gay men.

    If it’s not sexual, then who cares? It’s lovely for a mother to protect her child–in ever species this behavior extends to sleep. Perhaps you could do the Christian thing and offer to come over and put the bed together.

    The elders have wisdom you can’t imagine, even if they seem creaky and weird. They’ve been through a lot. They’re old and they can’t move very fast. Please at least give them the courtesy of not being a jerk. I’m not THAT old, but one of my closest friends, a woman of 85, died last month. I miss her a lot. I learned a lot from her, and I hope everybody has the chance to be friends with an elder.

    Possibly. A person’s sexual orientation is normally determined at or before birth. Hormonal conditions in the mother may determine this. The theory for gay men is that male fetuses who develop in the presence of higher-than-average levels of male hormones like androgen are more likely to be gay. They are, in a sense “hyper-masculine”–which may explain the results of studies demonstrating that gay men tend to have larger penises than straight men.
