Antichoice, bible-thumping, sex-only-okay-for straight-marrieds-and-only-for-procreation trolls are really funny when they suggest Plato or Socrates as a suitable defense for their agenda and as in alignment with them when it comes to sexuality. Especially when they were serious.
Know what’s even funnier than that?
When it’s that day you need to tidy up the toys. So you go to head downstairs, your hands so overfull with dildos that you drop them and — bOINg! BOing! boING! — they all go down the stairs.
It’s peppy penises! A prancing phallus! A jouncing Johnson! Springing Schongs! Ding dong!
It’s almost as funny when after the Great Dildo Circus of 2008 is over (wah!), after you’ve gathered them all back up and are going to the dishwasher, tears still on your cheeks from amusing yourself so, you look up to see your neighbor crossing the lane, stopping dead in her tracks and looking at you as if…well, as if you were a woman laughing and crying all by herself loading an armload of dildos into the dishwaher.
Almost, but not quite.
P.S. The San Francisco trip was very brief, but very nice. Having lots of time with Robert & Carol is always a treat, I was able to spend time with Melissa twice (and I do not know what it is about us, but we have the coolest thing that happens when both our brains are in the same space), met a lot of very lovely people, had a productive meeting, and spent a ridiculous amount of money on too many cups of impossible-to-resist Blue Bottle coffee, which was — unfortunately for my wallet — stumbling distance from Robert and Carol’s pad.
Honestly, I have had a lot of good coffee in my life, have even trained people to make it as a gig way back when, but I do think I can say I have never had better. And they do vegan mochas with gorgeous shaved dark chocolate which you get a thick mouthful of at the end of the cup. Heaven.
I thought the reception on Friday was a good time and the presentation/discussion Sunday went well. I wish, for the latter, that I hadn’t had to abbreviate answers to VERY big questions due to time, since it made me feel like I was almost diminishing some issues I thought were big’uns, but one does what one can.

Dishwasher! Brilliant!
How do you usually clean vibrators?

Well, if I have the goods, simple green and water is my cleanser of choices, but otherwise, plain old soap and water.
However, I usually cover anything that gets inserted anywhere or is shared with a condom that I can’t boil, so I also don’t have to worry too much about toys staying clean.

I don’t know what it is about your posts that make me post comments. Done, over on that Plato thread.

After reading (ok, I skimmed to start..more later:-)…. your more recent (serious) teen issues post, this bit was exactly the smile I needed (before my parents descend on us for a visit, on Tuesday).
We’ve been doing a BIT of cleaning, too; nothing quite as visually amusing…I can completely see/hear your laugh (and that renews me, amazingly).
(on the “oh HELL” side, my Mac looks to be dying a horrible death, so I’m having an ” ARRGH with technology” week)
