I am very annoyed at Big Bang Theory, because there's too much sex in it. And my friend with an extremely dirty mind had to point out to me that it was Big Bang Theory before I got that it was probably not going to get less sexual.

Then they had sex, assumed by the heated kissing shown and then giggling sounds outside the room heard by the Queen's wardrobe helper, who smiled after hearing them.  Then at the end of the episode, she had him feel her belly to indicate that she was pregnant again.  I was thinking, "whoa there.  That's the third one already.  It's only been two episodes of this second season.  The first baby was the first season finale.  You already gave birth to a second baby in the first episode.  I know you eventually have like 8 kids, but are we seeing a new baby every episode?"  That's a lot of sex.

They had a lot of kids because they had a lot of sex. It’s pretty clear from her diaries that Queen Victoria had a very high libido and really loved Albert. An unfortunate, in her opinion, side effect of that was pregnancy. She hated being pregnant (understandably given the high likelihood of dying in childbirth), but she enjoyed having “fun in bed” and didn’t want to stop just because it meant having more children

Now I'm wondering when birth control was invented.

I thought it was referring to the theoretical theory of the beginning of our universe, not, ummm... that.

If this is really the case, then I need brain bleach.

There were various forms of contraceptives that existed at that point, but I don't know how effective they were. I know in some countries they were actually illegal, but I'm not sure if that was the case in Britain. The birth control pill wasn't invented until the 1950s though, which is somehow a lot more recent than I expected.

In Venezuela people call "chinazo" the things you say that can be interpetrated as sexual. The innuendos, if you will. And it's awfull because the teasing if you "let out a chinazo" is merciless !

Me, myself, was the queen of chinazos at school and it made me learn about sex so I could avoid them. What I've learnt is kind of gross, but keeps me safe from the chinazo-bullying c:

Also, in those times lots of children were good because of high infant mortality rates in general, and the chances of assassination or an accident wiping out a blood line.  There are also all the political marriages to forge political alliances which can be done with 'extra' princes and princesses.

True. The life expectancy in the past is artificially lowered by the fact that so many children died before 5 and so many women died in childbirth, if you made it past those milestones the actual life expectancy wasn't too different from our own. Though being the ruler of the country and not the wife of the King it would have been very bad if Queen Victoria had died in childbirth. Having less children may have been better in her case, though it ended up working out for her since she lived to be 82.  I remember reading somewhere that after her 9th child the doctor warned her against having more children and she asked if she couldn't have any more "fun in bed", so I think her priority was the sex and not the child making.

 

I also vaguely remember reading that she didn't really want her daughters to marry and leave her alone, but that might have been a side effect of losing Albert so young.

I have to smile reading these comments about Queen Victoria. I was led to believe the Victorian times things were very prudish when it came to sex.

This. And now I'm wasting my time frantically looking up everything I can about her. :lol:

In the show, don't know if actually happened, but Victoria didn't like people going to her first daughter, who was just a baby or toddler, and saying that she'll marry some royalty and forge an alliance.  She wanted her to marry for love, like she did with Albert.

 

Earlier today, the weirdest thing happened.  Since my company has two offices in a corporate complex, occasionally people from the main office come visit us in the secondary office.  One of our co-founders, I just call him the doctor, walked in today and said "hey sexies" really loudly.  Instead of feeling complimented, I was worried about the two people having a conference call and the person on the other side hearing that.  I texted my cousin about what the doctor said and she said this was normal.  Really?  How is this normal?  Why is it appropriate to call your employees sexy?

^Perhaps your cousin says normal as in "common", but I reckon it does not mean that it is neither appropiate nor welcomed in most cases

It isn't harassment within the letter of the law, but it's definitely not appropriate behavior. I think it is, unfortunately, pretty common behavior, though I do think calling it normal normalizes it. That being said, there are people who use sexy in the same way other people use the word dude, which could be what he's doing. Still not appropriate workplace behavior, either way, but a slightly more charitable interpretation

No, they were just very prudish about public displays of sexuality.  Behind closed doors was a very different story.

My sister was talking about past Disney Original films, as you do. Anyway, she was talking about a film called Lemonade Mouth, and about one of the main character who was called Charlie (played by Blake Michael). We were having a good chat about it and remembering all the somewhat cheesy films and laughing about them. She then found a kind of new picture of Blake and send me a link, and was like "puberty has done him SO well", I completely ignored the "attractiveness" of him and instantly focused on the MASSIVE pine cone he was holding. I'm not exaggerating, it's probably the biggest pine cone I've never seen in my life, see!

Why is he holding a pine cone, though? I find that picture really funny.

@Andiamo I literally have no idea??? Probably for the aesthetics? Or it symbolises a heart as it's near where the heart it? I bet the photographer was like "ah yes, a pine cone. Just hold it close to your naked chest and close your eyes. Perfect!"

Remember all those double entendres then went over your head? How about that sex joke a friend told at a party that had to be explained to you? Or that dull, irritating sex scene in an otherwise good movie that all your friends said was "hot?"

Discuss your most ace of asexual moments in this thread. Here's one of mine: I was watching X-Men with a group of friends, and Wolverine was running around in the basement of Xavier's school without a shirt. I went, "For crying out loud, Wolverine, get a shirt on." My friends chorused, "No, Wolverine, keep your shirt off!"

When I was researching being ace to see if I was, I saw an example of a demi saying she was attracted to her husband's chest but not all men's. My mind was blown that random shirtless muscley guys were ACTUALLY sexually attractive, and I started flipping out.

Weird dream. This girl I knew was lying naked on a carpet. She accused me of being a perv by sitting next to her. I forgot but either I fell asleep where I was sitting or I was actually looking somewhere else. I only looked after the comment was made. Being ace in my dreams too.

The victorians invented the vibrator to cure woman hysteria/fainting. 

 

Yep. The treatment for female hysteria was for the doctor to perform a "pelvic massage" to bring the woman to orgasm, but it took too much time and there were too many hysterical women (most of women's problems, including having sexual thoughts, were put down to hysteria. Actually, the word hysteria comes from the Greek word for uterus). They invented the vibrator because it was more efficient.

You can learn a lot from reading diaries and domestic guides as well as various treatises and books; it's not too hard to see the disconnect between what was socially prescribed and private realities. Plus there's quite a few documentaries and books that at least bring up the differences between what the Victorians said and what they actually did. It's all very interesting! :)

I had two incredibly ace moments again this week, both, unfortunately at work!

The first was on Thursday, when a male colleague came in with the most lovely new box for his lunch and it was filled with exquisite food...before I had the chance to stop myself, I'd said 'Ooh! I love your lunchbox!'.

The second was on Friday, when a colleague who has migraine was complaining about the strong light above her desk, and she put on a baseball cap. She said she was hiding from the light and thought I'd be witty by saying 'Well hiding your bushel under a light is probably better than hiding your light under a bushel'....:huh:

I did one about walking through a forest.  There's a body of water in the middle of the forest that you decide.  Apparently that also reflects sex thoughts too.  I thought of a plain freshwater pond.  It meant something like indifferent.  Then the next question was what to do, cross it, or do something.  I forgot if I wanted to ride a boat across or walk around.  Either way it was a non-sexual thing.  My friend had read about some chemistry beforehand so her body of water was a few drops of arsenic.  That basically means danger, which I took as don't touch the repulsed ace.  Her brother decided to take a dive in his body of water, which was basically accepting sexuality wholeheartedly.



The size of the body of water is related to the size of your sexual drive.

If you became very wet, it indicates that sex is important to you. If not very wet, it may mean it's less important.

 

Mine was a shallow stream and I just walked across. :lol:

Sitting in film class the teacher is talking about the film we're going to see today (of which I forgot to research beforehand like an idiot)

Professor: Alright today we're going to be watching Boogie Nights, which is a a movie set in the 70s and 80s about the porn industry, and it's 3 hours long so we're actually going to spend 2 weeks on it. Have fun!

Me: *Slowly sinks into my chair as the lights go down* Oh no.

*Spends the next 2 weeks dreading life and comes out of it like a weathered soldier*

Me: I'M ALIVE IT'S OVER!

I'm like the master of not straight jokes.

 

[me waiting for friends to show up at our designated hangout spot, friend shows up and re-parks 3-5 times]

Friend: I'm not confident in my parking skills.  I had to make sure I'm straight.

Me: Are you sure?

Friend: I don't know.

 

My friend is a questioning biromantic.

This one time at my old job, I was just sort of chilling with a coworker from the quality department and my supervisor; at some point, we end up in a conversation about sex.

 

He starts telling me about this thing he recommends doing during sex to make the woman orgasm harder; I then bust out laughing, as it was rather gross and ridiculous, I thought he was just telling a perverted joke.

 

He then explained he was legitimately trying to teach me a sex move, and starts lecturing me about how sex is about more than sticking things in places (actual words btw). It got really awkward, really fast.

 

 

There was also a time when I was changing in the locker-room (also at my previous job), and everybody was just talking about actresses' nipples in detail. Like, wtf? We had some nipple enthusiasts, clearly.
