School-

Took the big nasty Statistics final today. Not sure what I got. On the upside, I got 70/75 on my second major group project, which should give me some decent cushioning.

Still have to write my essay on gender descrimination for my Social Problems class, and turn it in by Friday.

Still have to complete my Fiction Writing notebook, and turn that in.

Expanding my horizons-

I'm listening to the 'Posession' CD (1 of 3) that saava made for Buffy & Spike, and I love it. My favorite new song so far is #2, "Something I Can Never Have" by Nine Inch Nails.

Fic-

Some of my favorite stories were updated in the last few days.

Sang et Ivoire two new parts up, 25 & 26. Always will adore this story, cause its killer.

The Passage of Memory, by Lara Dean Brierley. Two final parts up, and they break your heart in the sexiest, most sensual way. I loved the ending.

When Darkness Falls, by L. A. Ward and Sagnuine. Two new parts up, includin one of the best Spike rants I've seen in a fanfic.

Life-

Questions:

1. Is there some adults-only-know etiquette for having sex when you're on your period? Do people do it? Does being on your period make it feel different? Is it more messy?

2. Of women who like pornography or sex fiction (including fanfic), do homosexual women like porn/fic that displays homosexual men? Do they like porn/fic with hetero couples, or only female slash? Do homosexual men like pronography/fiction depicting two women, like het guys do?

3. Is it possible to break your own hymen (sp?) with a vibrator?

1. Personal preference. Some people have sex while on their period, some don't. Some women have a higher sex drive around that time of the month, some don't feel like doing anything but eating chocolate, watching Oprah and crying alot. Some women don't feel any different. Any of these things may effect someone's likelihood to wanna do it while on their cycle. Some men are completely squicked by it. It's messy, but with a towel on your sheets, it's nothing like a murder scene or anything equally horrific. In the shower is kinda nice. The only way it feels different is because it makes things more slippery. Which is never really a bad thing. It's easier to contract certain STD's while on your period, if I remember my Health and Sexuality class correctly.

2. I know alot of lesbian women who like gay male porn, alot of straight men who like lesbian porn, alot of straight women who like gay porn, and - the possibilities here are too endless. It's a personal preference thing, and having been around slash this long, I can't even lay odds on whether or not sexual orientation has anything to do with what kind of pornography (if any) someone is going to enjoy.

3. Most women break their hymen long before they have sex. Do you do gymnastics? Strenuous aerobics? Ever ride a horse? Any and all of these things can get the job done. The whole significance of "hymen breaking" is really overdone. I know alot of women who's 'first time' didn't hurt at all. And no one can "tell" if someone is a virgin, even by giving them a pelvic exam.

Hope any of that helped. My god, this was good practice in case I ever have a daughter. Right now, I'm just grateful I have a son. I am practicing "go ask your father!" in many tones of voice.

Thanks for the in-depth answers. I've had conversations about technicalities of sex with my mom, and my Dad seems almost over-willing to talk to me about the _emotional_importance_&_ramifications_ of sex, so he can be sure in his own mind that I don't get into anything stupid. His conversations can almost get exhausting. My mom's much more practical and strait-forward about it; I was gonna ask her if I didn't get any useful answers here. So thanks.

Heh.

No problem, actually. Way back when, I was a LMHT for adolescents in an inpatient facility. You haven't lived until you've shown three schizophrenics and a bipolar teenager how to put a condom on a banana.

I truly haven't lived then, I'm afraid. Oh well, I have time!
