You are being a little paranoic, don't you think?

Uh, no actually I'm pretty sure that the willingness to analyze bullshit no matter what it's form or what authority it comes from, especially when it impinges on the right of people to experience their sexuality freely and without oppression, does not qualify as being "paranoid." But thanks for your concern.

Whooaaa, you look pretty strong don't you?
Do you really show that strong person all the time?

Looooooooooooool, I know right? Hot damn, it must take an awful lot of energy to be this passionate all the time! I must be EXHAUSTED. :P

In psych class today and last week we were working on case studies, analysing and trying to diagnose various couples (or individuals) that came in for therapy. And one couple was, nrgh, they were both virgins on their wedding night and before she got married the only thing her mom said about sex was "it's this painful thing, that you just have to do but eventually it gets better..." ...And WHAT DO YOU KNOW. She has vaginismus (painful contractions of the lower 1/3rd of the vagina that makes intercourse painful/impossible.) They fondle and pet each other sometimes but it "never feels like real sex." I FUCKING WONDER WHY! God.
