    Rich was so defensive this installment! <3


    And as for the asexual thing, I think the defining factor would be, do you WANT to have sex? Even when you're not horny you should know whether you like sex and you want to have it eventually.

    Ugh, the anal-retentive-about-money boyfriend. Had one of those for six long years. Never failed to piss me off. If we didn't split the check, he would ask me if I had any cash for the tip. And he made around 50k a year! And a lot of the time during that relationship, I wasn't even working. Needless to say, that shit got old real quick. For example, one Christmas, I was on unemployment. We were discussing gifts. He said, I'd like to set a dollar limit on gifts for eachother, so neither of us feel like we're getting taken advantage of. Meaning, he knew I wouldn't be spending much, so he didn't want to spend too much on me. Because that would somehow mean I was "taking advantage" of him. I couldn't believe that shit!! It ruined my Christmas, that year. Boy am I glad that's somethin I no longer have to deal with. Talk about stabby!!

    @terribletwenties: Jesus, that is awful. I was in a *somewhat* similar relationship, but he never said anything like the whole "taking advantage of" bullshit.

    My attitude toward guys paying has changed through the years. I used to be all, "let's split the check" or "I'll pay, no problem." But now, if it's clearly a date, and I know they afford it, they pay. I have lots of ways to spend my time, and if they want my company, that's how they can get it. They're welcome to suggest a cost-free activity, like a run or a museum, or a cheap one, like just drinks or coffee, but otherwise, I forgot my debit card.


    If we're just friends going out, we split it, no questions asked.

    I had to pause the video when I got to that "My BF's friend is cheating on his GF," question, because I couldn't parse it at all the first time... and I watched this straight and sober. Before I hit Play again I thought, "I'm going to feel really stupid if these two high people catch this writer's drift right away."


    Please skip the questions that piss you off! I hate it when the PP mellow gets harshed; bring on the giggles and Doritos.


    (Also, I think that the bridal exorcism, like the rehearsal dinner, is the responsibility of the groom's parents.)

    Tracie, I will toss in some money for your exorcism. As long and Rich is there and you are both high and filming it.

    I love love love you guys, but sometimes these questions are really good and I actually wnat to know the answers...like the question about Japanese porn was skipped completely!


    And how vital was the nipple size question. AmIright.


    /end complaint


    I did, however, laugh out loud throughout the entire Edie x-ray conversation.

    @adina: No doubt! Punish them by not putting them in the videos. I couldn't care less about the concerns of a bunch of judgmental asswipes who are too cool for Tracie and Rich, but not too cool to try and get on PP. Fuck them, make them go stand in the corner with Phoebe Price.

    The guy I'm seeing invites me to concerts for bands I'm not into and then asks me to pay for my ticket. I'm offended by this, and I don't say anything.


    I'm not a bad feminist because I don't want to pay my share, I'm a bad feminist because I'm not speaking up for what I want.

    @smopenna: I think you should tell him you a) don't want to go, and b) decline to pay. If you want to spend time with him, meet him before for drinks or after for a booty call. Life is too short for bad music.

    i feel like there was no resolution to the cheating boyfriend... i say tell the girlfriend! what he's doing is dangerous! if your boyfriend gets mad b/c that guy is his friend, ask him what he'd feel like if you gave him genital warts or something.


    us girls gotta watch out for each other sometimes.

    Sometimes I think I'm asexual because when I'm with someone I don't get at all aroused. Yet I can read The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty or watch Secretary and get totally turned on. Why is it that reading about sex turns me on more than actual sex? Hmm...

    @chatterboxwriting: From those titles I'm guessing you like to be dominated. The next time you're having sex, tell the person what you like. It will make sex a hell of a lot better.

    @chatterboxwriting: Here's a novel approach:


    Read to your partner, in bed. I recommend Anais Nin.


    Or, if you are watching a movie and start to get a little frisky, let them know...
