Would a kilt count? I mean I KNOW it's not a skirt, but the physics are similar, and NOT exactly what I chose to wear for warmth. 

[Janine Dee]

Snicker… didn't want to be the one to say it. 

[Janine Dee]

Either/or, honest. 

But I did feel bad NOT voting for something for the guys… it actually WOULD have been the kilt. You guys DO deserve something dignified.

Words can hurt, but so can a riding crop, and I own one of those. The trick is the difference between a wave of sensation for your partner or an angry mark that will linger for days.

I used a riding crop as my example because it can be very intense when the submissive is in the right mind set, but when used casually is simply cruel.

Where a simple hand or a soft striker can be used for the playful swat on the ass the riding crop is a serious striker. Words should be treated with similar sincerity because even in vanilla interaction misunderstandings can and do tremendous damage to relationships. When you mix in the intense emotions of BDSM you are casting sparks on dry tinder.

Or as I believe Kathy Griffin said in one of her routines. It was one thing if a guy said “Take it you whore!” in bed, but she wouldn't accept that at ALL in day to day conversation, and while she said it to laughs it is a very real idea.

For some women the word whore is degrading, dehumanizing, making them more on the level of property. For others it is freeing, allowing them to cast aside old ideas on “ladylike” behavior. Giving them permission to be wanton, sexual creatures when everywhere else they feel they have to keep that part of themselves bottled up tight.

Now here, saying communication is essential is sort of silly, it is literally the topic at hand. Problems develop though because while the damage can be as deep as anything physical the stings of injury are virtually non-existent. They are so easy to miss that the person who's feelings have been hurt can many times convince themselves they just overreacted.

That however MUST be avoided, because hurt feelings will fester like any other wound. They can cripple relationships like a poorly set bone, and poison feelings like any infection.

They are just as real as any other injury. To be avoided if at all possible, and mended right away when not.

Sorry guys, I WANTED to vote for you, but I want wings damn it! Just look at my pic. 

Feathered, bat, don't care. I want wings!

Welcome Harkness…. please, please, please tell me your name is in reference to Captain Jack Harkness of Doctor Who fame!

Also Keiko hit it perfectly. The reason mm and mmm is so underrepresented is because is it so underrepresented. The developers have no one telling them the positions are wanted.

It was much the same for ff and fff back when I joined, and I feel I can honestly take some personal pride in how far the ff, fff cause has come since I started reminding the developers we were here, we were queer, and we had disposable income.

It will never be EQUAL, because they need to appeal to the broadest demographic to keep themselves solvent, but if you keep in the mix, and keep reminding them of your presence I CAN say you'll make a difference.

[Janine Dee]

I hope you're not asking me as the “oldest customer”. I'm not the oldest, just the gabbiest.

[Janine Dee]

Again, voted FF, but that's no surprise. FFF would be all right as well. Either way going to vote my self interest.

The weird thing is I am now at the point where my avatar's face is “me” on AChat. I mean I could customize body maybe with things like tats or muscle tone, maybe a new hair style, but the face is my AChat face. I've bought a couple and even though they looked all right when they were on “me” it felt wrong.

Still, after a year customization for me is clothes more then anything… that is if I still had the option to change. 

[Janine Dee]

I WANT the Revy outfit! 

Preferably WITH the guns.

[Janine Dee]

I just felt THAT much happier to be gay. 

[Janine Dee]

Sadly that COULD be right. Excessive violence they wouldn't blink at, but a little sex…

Still I must admit my thoughts were more upon offering Keiko … an alternate platform to gather more data. Then on how (admittedly) awesome the work is.

[Janine Dee]

For me it was something that worked with his easy comment, but rhymed with OUR.

And the ladies part was simply because of my lack of frame of reference. 

[Janine Dee]

Well Bear, it's obvious… you're a whore, but you're OUR whore. 

And yes Ladies, feel free to step up and prove that claim.

[Janine Dee]

Actually it's stored locally on your system so you're only in danger if you exceed your own systems memory.
