Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh msbelle, that's not the fun part of being a parent, is it? But yeah, if he wants to know about sex, he'll get way better intel from you than from youtube.

sigh. My kids aren't there yet, but I can see it just up around the corner.

Much ~ma to Matt and his family.

I was totally reading books and being intrigued by the sexy bits, earlier than that. But got in trouble for it.

But I clicked through to imdb, and see that TOM FUCKING CRUISE is playing JACK REACHER. WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK

OMG WTF?? SO WRONG.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think it being video is bugging me more than other stuff would. well that and my puritanical upbringing.

I can remember looking at my dad's porn mags, but I have no recollection of how old I was at the time.

I can imagine that video would bug in a particularly visceral way, although when if you think about it logically, videos on youtube would be easier to find than porn mags.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is she promoting anywhere? Tumblr, the steamfashion comm on LJ, stuff like that?

Not that I know of. I'll suggest those to her. If you have any other ideas, I'd be happy to pass them on.

Cruise needs to suck it up, play Napoleon in a bio pic, and work through his issues once and for all.

I think I was 12 before I started looking for the porn. I was a slow starter. Pretty sure I made up for lost time once I did start, though. In my case it was a friend and I finding her dad's stash of dirty novels.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I noticed a pattern in the porn discussion. The first experience most men have with porn is pictures of naked women. And the first experience most women have with porn is - pictures of naked women.

I wonder if, now that there seems to be more porn for women available, that might change. Maybe the next group of 10-12 year old girls will seek out NC-17 bandom slash fic and art.
