It never fails to impress me how a site such as this attracts such a diverse range of people, many of whom are so articulate and thoughtful, and ALL of whom have something valuable to contribute. It makes me feel better about the world!

Thanks for that gekkogecko. I think you pretty much summed up the 'how we ever got into this mess' question, so what's your take on how we get out of it?

How do we undo thousands of years of somewhat misguided religious doctrine? Or perhaps you don't feel it is misguided . . . the reasoning behind the explanation still stands up today, don't you think?

For my part, i feel that this logic is somewhat obsolete in modern society and i feel that the only way we'll break it is by teaching our children differently.

On a lighter note. . . . i'm one of the 'fuck me harder' porn star types, so we do exist!! I think that porn flicks have (rightly or wrongly) integrated terms such as 'slut' and 'bitch' into the vocabulary of sex, in such a way that men use it without thinking of what the words might mean - they just associate it with wild 'porn star' type sex and that's great for them. I'd be really worried if a sexual partner really did mean what he said when he used those kind of names. . . hell i'd be more than upset, i'd be out of there!
