You may think it was a nonsexual experience for you, and the guys might have claimed it to be. But guess what. Guys lie. Guys don't share their emotions. Guys don't show their feelings on their face or body language if they don't want to, b/c they've been socialized to hide that since they were toddlers.
Maybe if I didn't have a history of sexual abuse i wouldn't be this cynical about guys, but i do and this is how I feel about co-ed bathrooms. I think it's a threatening environment for girls and it's sexual harrasment when some RAs and floor meetings try to force reluctant girls to "just grow up" and go along with the co-ed bathroom policy.

So all that said....where is the photo from?

The only time I've ever been naked in front of someone I wasn't biologically related to or having sex with was while backpacking in Thailand. I was traveling with an extremely liberal pro-naked kinda gal, and since it was hot as fuck and we weren't paying for rooms with AC, we'd walk around in the nude unless we had to go somewhere, so we didn't sweat up our clothes.
This, however, ended promptly when she opened the door to a male neighbor one night while I was face down, on the bed reading wearing nothing at all. I immediately started wearing clothes at all times and might still be traumatized.

I've been in a tremendous amount of pain recently:
I have severe TMJ (Jaw disorder if you don't know) which on its own creates a devastating effect, combined with a whip-lash ridden neck and there is not much you can do to stop the debilitating tension and migraine headaches.
My teeth chip bits of others off, lash my tongue, its so awful. The pain is immobilizing.
LUCKILY, I have a one of the most skilled doctors when it concerns botox,Dr. Fredrick Brandt, (yes he has a skin line) that I have known since I was a child and I had a huge amount of *strictly medical botox that was injected into the muscles in my jaw, into the sides of my head to my temporal muscles (all along the sides of my head, above the ear and farther back) and into my neck (the sides, the scalene muscles).
Yet insurance does not recognize this and it likely would be taxed. That would be horrible. In-door tanning does SERIOUS damage and causes skin cancer, botox wears off after 4-6 months and cause very little long term damage to a micro-minuscule fraction of the population that receives it.
The treatment I had was very pricey and necessary and WONDERFUL. Otherwise I would grind off all my own teeth. I've done damage to the back, but hopefully this will stop the front.
If it is not recognized as medically necessary or a viable treatment by the American Medical Association it WILL BE taxed. It takes a long long time for a drug to be approved for a treatment of a condition.

The former doesn't bother me at all; the latter, if I had to do it every day, really, really would. It has nothing to do with male/female, but with the fact that I like my privacy, full-stop.
Co-ed bathrooms with individual showers bother me not at all, for the record.

But I was struck by how naturally gorgeous Jessica Simpson looked with no makeup and a burning thingie in her ear. Go, girl!
01:45 AM
If MY hairdresser gave me an ear-candle kit, you bet your ass I'd be on YT with it. WTF, who wouldn't?
Shit, I remember one awesome Jez editor talking about garlic up her candydish for.. uh, scientific purposes, and another recounting a 5day romance with a lost tampon... but Jessica Simpson gets the "Wtf are you posting this shit for?" treatment?
Over the hate, I say. Unless its girl hate just for the sake of girl hate.

Points for not directing the reader to the tiresome Frederics of Hollywood, but the result is unfortunately the same: tacky is never cute. And cute is never truly sexy. It may seem so at first, but it is not. Unless one considers the Tila Tequila type is the pinnacle of sexy. And I suppose for some male demographics that's just harmlessly frisky enough; but truly sexy? Sexy it is not. And if our sex experts can't tell the difference, we are in a dire, DIRE state of social trouble.
I can't think of a more trite gag than greeting my lover in a holiday-themed boudouir outfit, exclaiming SURPRISE.
A surprise, it is not!
I wasn't expecting Ashley to reveal all of her trademark bedroom secrets. However, at least, a brief consultation of the dictionary is a fair expectation.
(That's not a surprise!)

I applaud Mo'nique for calling a Hollywood in it's bullshit.

It's an insult to the art if the Academy doesn't take the voting seriously.
May I ask where you got this information? Is there a statistic somewhere?
03:23 AM
Again, I'm not saying all academy voters take their duty lightly, but it is getting rarer and rarer to find a voter who's seen every film that's in the major categories. Ads, swag bags, personal appearances, and an actors rep have a tremendous impact on the votes.
