I wonder if there's some sort of elixir to cure me of being basically self-destructive.oatmeal girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842608615972752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165603762522014470.post-30911291242034715772009-01-19T23:51:00.000-05:002009-01-19T23:51:00.000-05:00"but let them be married, let them live far away,"..."but let them be married, let them live far away,"... yes.

And whether or not I did a smart thing this morning or at any point in my life is certainly a question for discussion.<BR/><BR/>However, if someone of any age is going around reading sex blogs, then she or he has already made the decision, perhaps unwise, to be exposed vicariously to activities about which they might be better off not knowing. This is my life, and I'm not going to change or obscure the facts of it, except occasionally to protect specific people who might be hurt in some way by disclosure. What others think about it, or what they might be encouraged to do, is not my responsibility.<BR/><BR/>This blog is for adults.oatmeal girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12842608615972752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165603762522014470.post-71796491076212441332009-01-17T18:47:00.000-05:002009-01-17T18:47:00.000-05:00Not that this is really any of my business at all,...Not that this is really any of my business at all, but the sexual-health advocate inside me cringed when I read the part of this post where you seem to imply that you performed oral sex without a condom, on a man you had only met a few days ago. <BR/><BR/>It's completely your own decision, obviously, but I die inside when women seem to think that they can't catch anything too bad just from going down on a guy. Herpes, gonorrhea, and HIV— to name a few. <BR/><BR/>Unless you know for sure your partner has been tested, it's always a good idea to use protection, even for oral sex. What you do is your own business, but don't give your potentially young readers the wrong impression.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
