    Is the hourglass better?-- women and men comment

    So does that mean that guy's website was right in establishing that the hourglass is better, or at least something women should try to go for?

    Families and adoption-- stigma or not?

    I don't think it's contradictory to not want to procreate yet to still like children. That's like saying...people who want abortion to remain legal hate children (I'm one of those people but I really adore children). It is rather sad that there is a lot of red tape regarding race in adoption--...

    Families and adoption-- stigma or not?

    I wonder if I'm a weirdo-- I don't feel the need to procreate:confused: But I guess after I get married and desire to become a parent that may be different. I like babies alot, but I also like children in general a lot. I remember job shadowing a psychologist at a early childhood education...

    East Indian by ancestry, West Indian by ethnicity-- if that makes any sense:P

    Nope, we never lived together or were together for a few years-- 3 years about, not that long.

    Families and adoption-- stigma or not?

    I'm minoring in Family studies at school and one of the topics we had to think about last week was regarding adoption. I have always considered adoption as an alternative to having biological children-- maybe it's just me, but a child is a child. Parents can really do a lot to shape who their...

    A very disturbing connection

    When I was spanked as a child, including my siblings, friends, and relatives, we all cried big time! No way did we think it was anywhere near pleasurable...and orgasms? We were all too busy nursing the welts on our bottoms to even feel anything else. Don't know what that author is thinking...

    Well I just wanted to update everyone: I have broken up with him. He was pretty heartbroken to be honest...but I can't live my life always thinking that someone is going to change when they don't actually DO it. That is what I told him last time we talked when he asked me to reconsider...and it...

    Is the hourglass better?-- women and men comment

    I honestly know only one woman who is close to an hourglass, which would be the pear/spoon shape. Her shape is only obvious when she's wearing clothes with layers, like a dress because other than that, she is very thin and muscular-- but she's naturally that way. I would have to say that from...

    Is the hourglass better?-- women and men comment

    Exactly! That's what makes me so mad about this website. The author makes claims that he understands that you can't do anything about the way you were born, but he continues to proclaim hourglass figures as "better". I also wanted to point out that while many people think the hourglass figure...

    Is the hourglass better?-- women and men comment

    For my women's studies class, we are assigned a research paper regarding body image and I came across this website as I was browsing: www dot femininebeauty dot info (Warning: there is nudity in the site so hopefully I haven't violated a TOS, but it's not meant to be pornographic) While it...

    Appropriate age for sex?

    I was reading over this and I think some very important points have been overlooked. Last summer, as part of a psychology class and community intervention credit, I volunteered teaching with a community outreach counselor about sexual education. The average age of the group, about 15 kids...

    Need advice, marrieds and committed couples please read

    Then I've got another quandry. I tried talking to him about this again tonight and he insists that I have no right to judge him when the past year or so was one of the worst in his life. Am I being judgemental and assuming that he/we should still be able to "go on as normal" even though he did...

    Need advice, marrieds and committed couples please read

    Well typically whenever you say that anger is a problem, most people jump to the conclusion that the other person must be abusive, physically or emotionally. I wanted to mention that he isn't abusive. Well...duh. That's the thing-- these are NOT required committments. It's a basic...

    Need advice, marrieds and committed couples please read

    I'm thinking of breaking up with my boyfriend. We have been together for 3 years and I have to say that this relationship is not going anywhere anymore. I find myself becoming short with him, impatient, and other things that aren't the most positive for a relationship. Over the last year and...

    All pregnant women in US to be offered Down Syndrom test

    It's rather sad to know how some countries approach disabilities. I actually worked with a child who had multiple disabilities, all ranging from mental to physical. But she really was a joy to work with and it's so amazing to see how resilient children can be in spite of what they are or are not...

    How can I be more confident about my body image??

    Thank you for the kind words Mystic, but I did mean that last comment. I've been made fun of by my family for my entire life about having this same stomach and arm fat on me and I'm just sick of it. I know that if I had not moved and adjusted to a more sedentary lifestyle, I probably would be...

    Why do parents insist their 18-21 year old children need to move out??

    Unfortunately almost every person is paying thousands of dollars. My parents are constantly begging me to move back in because they don't want me to be one of those people at age 30 finally being able to save for a house or starting to get out of debt. Rent for a room typically these days is...

    Why do parents insist their 18-21 year old children need to move out??

    I just need to rant, so bear with me. I currently don't live with my parents because of past conflict issues but I am willing to make a few sacrifices to move back in with them in order to save money. I've been on my own for almost 2 years and I must say, it sucks. I just find myself throwing...

    How can I be more confident about my body image??

    The reason why it carries a stigma is because your body isn't real. I know that I've tried waist cinchers, push-it-in panties and even that california beauty slim n'lift and I was never happy with the way I looked because I knew that in reality, it was not real. I mean think about it: How odd...
