<div dir="ltr">Nick that's a good question! Without to much info. I'd saying that making love is a little of both. On one side it is my opinion if she is good enough to make love to, she's good enought to get her female need products and keep rubbers on hand. On the other side. IMO Making love should be playful-for example.<div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Nov 14, 2018 at 12:33 PM Nick Thompson <<a href="mailto:nickthompson@earthlink.net">nickthompson@earthlink.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Oh, but here's the point: <br>

Is having sex "childing" or "adulting"?<br>

Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Pondering the slang Adulting<br>
<br>
I think this captures the irony in the youngsters' use of the word "adulting". It's a role and only a role. You sometimes *play* the role and you sometimes don't. It's like clothing you put on and take off ... much like an avatar in a video game.<br>
<br>
I think it's an authentic attempt to be just a tad more honest about who we are and our self-image, which is why I mentioned impostor syndrome. And it goes hand-in-hand, I think, with LGBT rights and the fluidity of gender roles. I was intrigued when some celebrity (Aubrey Plaza maybe?) came out as *queer*, not gay. It seems to be an interesting stance wherein the person denies the (artificial) discretization of gender or sexual preference.<br>
