Last week, I posted a take on the Lily Phillips story, suggesting that some women might actually enjoy having a 100-men train or gangbang. Many folks on X had trouble understanding how that was possible. Here are their objections and my responses. THREAD #mafa

We must allow for both comprehensive sex education and healthier porn for minors. We have to Make America Fuck (Well) Again, and these are some of the key tools.

I love that the most sex-positive character on TV right now is a 75-yo grandma attorney. #Matlock is worth a watch.

Happy International Women’s day, World. You may not be perfect, but I'd rather be a woman today than at any other time in the past 12,000 years. I mean, I would've been burned at the stake, not just get an occasional woodchipper threat on X ;) Thank you. Let's keep growing.

I commend Bezos for pivoting WaPo’s Opinion pages to supporting and defending personal liberties as long as sexual liberties are included in that definition. What kinds of topics could be included? Here’s some ideas: 1. Sexual expression and censorship on digital platforms 2.

This policy of marking the birth sex on official documents regardless of the level of sex transitioning someone has undergone is going to harm a lot of trans women and men, nonconsensually outing them to a lot of potentially hostile people with authority to fuck with them.

Sex on a species level is certainly binary (based on how many gametes human bodies can produce - sperm and eggs). However, sex on an individual level is somewhat on a spectrum (albeit heavily bimodal), with many intermediate (ie intersex) forms in between fully male and fully

Based on all this, Quinn decides to be a single mom instead of building a life with a man who offers to give her everything she wants--except monogamy. Given how polyamory was presented to her, it's not surprising. But Harlem & @PrimeVideo, you could've done so much better.

#7. Safer-sex shaming. They're all collectively horrified that Sabrina showed Quinn her recent STI results. This may not have been the right time for sharing that info, but it's def a great way to negotiate sexual health in ENM. We should celebrate, not shame such transparency.

#6. Peer poly shaming. Quinn's friends are all very anti-poly, never showing any curiosity. After the Sabrina meeting, her slutty lesbian friend (who runs a poly dating app!) even says “I can’t believe you actually went” then quickly concludes Quinn isn't built for poly life.

Less than 5 min into her meeting with Sabrina, Quinn leaves in visible distress. And who could blame her? Who the fuck introduces a complete nonmonogamy noob to full-blown poly like that???

The meeting itself is so poorly planned, I couldn't have scripted a worse way to do it if I had tried: - Seth leaves the two of them alone immediately. - He affectionately kisses both w/o negotiating that w/ Quinn beforehand. - Sabrina shows complete lack of awareness and

#5. Improper metamour introduction. After the initial shock and resistance, Quinn decides to give Seth a chance to sell her on polyamory. His way of doing it is to immediately introduce her to his other partner, Sabrina (Quinn's metamour) without zero preparation beforehand.

#4. Disparaging non-poly ENM. Seth does, however, manage to belittle more casual forms of ENM (that do involve "random hookups") while defending poly. Sadly, poly folks often justify their form or ENM as somehow "better". It's not. It's just different- each w/ its pros & cons.

#3. Failure to educate: Seth makes no real attempt to educate Quinn on how polyamory works, how it differs from other ENM types, or prep her for the unique & formidable challenges this relationship format presents. This is wildly irresponsible.

#2. Misrepresentation: Seth says he's "ethically nonmonogamous" (an umbrella term for many different nonmono rltnshp structures), even though what he's describing is POLYAMORY, a specific and especially challenging form of ENM involving multiple committed romantic relationships.

...While yes, they initially agreed on a no-strings thing, consistently seeing each other in a very romantic way for 5 mo changes things! If you're poly and have another partner, you MUST disclose that to a new partner way earlier AND voluntarily (not wait til you get caught).

#1. Poor disclosure: Seth (the super hot, caring & rich basketball player Quinn's been seeing for 5 months), reveals he's poly and has another partner (Sabrina) only AFTER Quinn overhears a convo w/ Sabrina & confronts him about it. Quinn is furious and has every right to be..
