You know why women get kicked out under DADT more? Because men who want to fuck them blackmail them with it, then turn them in anyway. And of course, depending on the commander, that's all they have to do. It stays on your record forever. Of course, if you turn them down, they'll report you, and if you go with somebody else they'll report you and if.....Actually, they have an awful lot of leeway because men don't lie, of course.

I'm wondering why there's a Chicago police car in the photo. Rapist was from Milford, CT.

I recently used a female condom for the first time and only have good things to say.

I had sex with a guy who's really knowledgeable about these things and so I learned some tips. I think women often get freaked out about using them because they are not really sure how to insert them. One thing you can do is take the insertive inner ring out and put the condom on the penis like a regular condom. Then, insert penis into vagina. And away you go.

That inner ring's only purpose is to make insertion easier.

Also, it will look like less ejaculate that you are used to because it's a wider condom. Don't worry, it's all in there.

"...less than 30% knew that HIV could be transmitted sexually."

Knowing that AIDS has been with us for *almost 30 years*, this statistic just breaks my heart. It's beyond inexcusable for any government to let their people be this uninformed.

I would like to know how sexual EDUCATION is considered pornography?

Surely if you search WebMD you're not expecting to find NC-17 material. Shouldn't everyone have a right to know about their own bodies? Because the last time I checked, when i was in sex ed we learned about STDS, menstration, semen, etc. No where in there did we learn anything found in the Kama Sutra.

Did anyone read in the article how cheap it is to get an abortion in China? It's roughly $88. I can't even replace my Chi hair straightener for that price. It's amazing how widely available and affordable it is.

@dummyfakeroller: Cheap for Americans, not Chinese women. That's over a week's salary for a person in China. Also, "widely available" can't be confused with "often forced upon women."

@schweppes: Very true. I should've clarified that I meant in American culture, it is cheap and available. Being forced into abortion is just as horrible as being forced into giving birth and that happens in areas where people have to travel 7 hours to obtain an expensive procedure.

@vanka-vstanka: I've read articles regarding giveaways encouraging procreation in Russia. One in particular mentioned that people could get half a day off work to go home and try to make babies and if the couple had a baby within a certain time frame, would win cash or a car. It shocks me to learn that abortion is free in Russia after knowing that.

@dummyfakeroller: There's a big push to OMG MAKE BABIES because of the demographic crisis, this is true. I think United Russia even had a babymaking camp thing for its youth group. I think sometimes you have to pay due to healthcare funding issues, but abortion is supposed to be free.

@dummyfakeroller: But it's not cheap for Chinese people. It's still expensive for them to choose to have an abortion. Abortions are common because they are forced by the government to have abortions, but abortions of a woman's own choosing is not cheap. That's a lot different than legitimate logistical difficulties of obtaining an abortion after the first trimester.

China's one-child policy is one of the most well-intentioned but poorly thought out policies in the history of thinking. When we're not all speaking Chinese in 20 years, we'll have that policy to thank.

@morninggloria: It's like the opposite of the mess Ceauşescu created in Romania with his "Be a good Communist, have lots of Commie babies!" plan. Lots of single moms with like 6-8 kids, no public assistance of any sort and a ridiculously strict anti-abortion law. The stories I've read about mothers there is just heartbreaking. They have nothing.

The spread of STDs is more concerning to me than the increased number of abortions. At least the procedure is legal and available.

Also, I had no idea that China legalized abortion before the US.

@MilointheMeadow: Communist countries usually had unrestricted access to abortion. A staunchly anti-religious government/society makes a big difference. In the USSR and Eastern bloc, abortion was often the primary means of birth control for most women. (Which sucks from a medical perspective, but at least it was available when preventative birth control was hard to get).

"single mothers can't get household registration cards for their children in China, making it difficult for the kids to get education and health care"

So if you have a child out of wedlock, it basically doesn't exist? WTF?

@stacyinbean: That's a result of the Chinese "one child" policy. You pretty much aren't supposed to have children out of wedlock, so they're existence is usually kept secret. Although the Chinese are now realizing that with their population aging rapidly, they need people to have more children to take care of the elderly population as it gets much older. Look for the policies to change.
