| Hmm.. I can see quite a few reasons why ppl on the spectrum in particular would have distaste for the whole dang thing: - We have an unwelcome, natural drive that you can't completely control. We all love dyscontrol. - Popular porn is so plastic it's painful to watch. You can see in their eyes that ... |

| Thanks so much for all the responses - they've been more helpful than anything I've heard from the school! This morning I went into my sons class and told the teacher I would be copying the daily "TO DO" list and the "SCHEDULE" she posts on the board. I told her I think it's great that she does thi... |

| I still see value in the /exercise/ of removing violent elements from your life as much as possible, and focusing on something more positive, and seeing where it takes you. The idea that it can be removed completely, and that this treatment will be a panacea, is dubious, and I wonder if that's reall... |

| Assuming you play it smart and use protection, your odds of contracting an STD by being a little on the "naughty" side, are waaaaay lower than they are being psychologically battered perhaps beyond repair by trying to be monogamous.

| i didn't mean it to turn out this way. sorry No worries. I'm not trying to police the world or make you feel bad. You brought up an important issue that got a lot of discussion, possibly in part BECAUSE the poll was slanted. I'm merely outlining that the the metric itself is slanted to assume your ... |
