I had a thought the other day...

Actually, it was last Sunday, when I saw her on CBS's Sunday Morning.

My thought was this: I assume that we're all sort of close to the same age here, say late teens to early 30s or so, and I was wondering... would we be able to so freely discuss our vaginas and our sexuality as a whole if we had grown up without Dr. Ruth Westheimer as a public figure, saying words like "masturbating," "vaginas," and "orgasms" on the afternoon talk shows we and/or our moms watched?

I mean, sure - we all probably giggled at the time, but think about it... even if our own moms weren't telling us this stuff, here was this little old lady with the funny accent telling us sex should be enjoyable, and masturbating is pretty great. Even if we laughed (I know I did), I have to wonder, how much of what she said stuck with us? How did what she said influence how we feel now?

Therefore, I would like to nominate Dr. Ruth as one of the High Priestesses of the Vagina-Bearing Superstars, along with Eve Ensler and whoever it is that put the pair of warm socks over the cold metal stirrups on my gyno's exam table.

watch out!!

i am definetly getting my period soon. i know when it's coming, because the first sign is always feeling super irritable and bitchy and emotional!!!

this morning my dad came into my room and tickled my feet to wake me up. and i got so angry about this, when i don't think i usually would- usually these behaviors from my dad would amuse me, but not this time and i kicked him in the leg. and i think it hurt him too. i'm horrible! the worst part is, this morning it made me SO angry when he did that, i blew it way out of proportion. now, i feel awful because he didnt deserve to get kicked.

THEN, i yelled at him when he made me coffee for me(which was a nice thing for him to do)-but made it too strong, so i freaked out. oh goodness! my hormones get so out of control.
i am usually very nice and sweet!

anyway.. i must admit while being a megabitch is slightly fun, i know it's uncalled for. do any of you girls have similar experiences and what do you do about it?

I just want to thank everyone for helping me get through my first gyno appt. It really wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be.. It only lasted like a minute.. and I did fine. I was a little tense which made things a bit more difficult, but I was okay. Oh, and in response to someones post here a few days ago.. it is the farthest thing from a turn on that I could have.
