      I’m gonna take this to a bit of a dark place in the interests of a factoid about legal minutiae in England and Wales. It’s probably not worth it and may be disturbing to consider for some.

      So there is such a thing in the law as strict liability offences, those being crimes that can be committed without knowing you are committing them. They’re rare because we like to think you can only be convicted of crimes you knew you were committing.

      Now, back when I did my law degree it was the law that sex with a minor was a crime unless you could reasonably have believed they were not a minor. This changes when the minor is under 13, at which point it if you were to fall naked out of a window onto a 12 year old’s genitalia (who happens to be napping in the nude under your window) then you have committed a crime and doing it accidentally very much counts where it wouldn’t have for a 14 year old.

      Not sure who that helps but I’ve written it now

      This looks like a list that Joyce didn’t find online, but made herself.
      Somehow I see a storyline where they’re sitting together, the leftovers of Dina’s hooch sitting between them, and Dorothy stumped at some of the weirder ones.

      “Jazz shirt? What is jazz shirt?”

      “You know…it’s when a guy takes his hands and… you know…”

      “I do not know what jazz shirt is.”

      “It’s just… you know… he puts his hands on your shirt, and… “ *jazz hands*

      “Joyce. Joyce. You CANNOT be serious. That is not a thing.”

      “It is too a thing! Here, lean back and I’ll show you.”

      Dorthoy would be ashamed of you.

      Every prioritization nerd knows that the sexiest thing on any list of sexy things is supposed to be consent, with whatever you want following, because without consent, any action’s sexiness only has the sexiness approval of one party, and is therefore has its sexiness cut by half or more. Therefore, when someone is obsessed with prioritizing, the sexiness of even a purely a subjective prioritizing list should explicitly come second in said subjective prioritizing list, because the other person should always come first in sexytimes.

        There’s actually a lot of examples of things like this. Particularly since women are so often shamed for their desires, they will invent scenarios where they cannot be blamed. This is for example why r*pe fantasies are quite common, even though very few people actually want to be SA:d. It’s a situation wherein one must surrender to pleasure, without seeking it out and thus getting branded a “slut”.
        Or something like that. I saw a video essay about this like two years ago, so I might be misremembering or quoting a bad source.
        Anyways, first time commenting on this webcomic, it’s been a fun read so far!

        > Meticulous-ness(?)

        I don’t like that construction, but it seems to be the best that English has. Part of the problem (per wiktionary) is that as a Latin term it’s already an adjected noun, coming from metus meaning ‘fear’. English seems to get the ‘careful’ meaning by way of French.

        We properly see the word as already having its suffix, but the obvious English ways of finding a base noun fail because the resulting stems seem like other things. ‘Metic,’ for example, sounds like an adjective.

        However, I now think that a ‘meticule’ is a perfect unit of measure for the meticulous scale.

    Looks like Roz’s advice was more in the realm of where Joyce is at than some people were giving her credit for. Joyce is aware of some sexual asks. She needs to work on ownership of her sexuality and letting herself want things.

    Also maybe breaking down some ideas around what does or doesn’t “count.”

    Oh Joyce, you really need someone to sit down, and talk to you about all these things in a way that helps you realize that wanting sex, doesn’t make you a pervert. Having kinks doesn’t make you gross, and is perfectly natural.

    Okay, so to accidentally sit on a dingdong and have it be sex not only implies a dingdong owner already being aroused or at least be in a state of erection, but also that said erect dingdong is also open to the air to sat upon. What exactly are you doing in that scenario that sitting on it would be an accident? Purely platonic, naked wrestling? Getting a close up reference of the model in your one on one anatomy class? Accidentally walked in on your friend who really needed to go to the bathroom just before you did and you already dropped your pants because it was that full a bladder and you slipped and fell coochie or ass first?

        The bigger question is whether it needs to be treated as the object of Joyce’s pelvis destruction (in which case “whomever’s” is correct) or the subject breaching Joyce’s anxiety defenses (on which case “whoever’s” may be correct). Or maybe both are acceptable for exactly that reason.

        Not at all. ‘Whom’ is the correct object case of the pronoun ‘who’. And ‘whomever’ is the correct ‘-ever’ form of the pronoun. And any pronoun or noun can be modified to its possessive form. It’s been so for centuries, as Gigafreak pointed out.

          But is it objective? Rewrite as “the pelvis of [pronoun] finally gets through all these anxiety defenses.” “Whoever” is the subject of the subordinate clause. So [pronoun] should be “whoever”. Back-substituting, we get “whoever’s”.

    Joyce you should do this with Joe.

    Actually maybe save that for when either of you is actually comfortable talking about sex and your own desires as they relate to this relationship. But once you have that comfort you should do this with Joe. Comparing likes and dislikes with friends is entertaining, comparing them with your sex partner is often hotter than acting on them*.

    see this is why Roz failed in her (self appointed) sexual education role, because she could have very easily explained to Joyce that there are many things that are not penis in vagina penetration that are still sex.

    Weird thought, but does Joyce have a good idea of what’s considered “average” in sexuality? It is both hilarious and disconcerting to imagine her stumbling across some obscure fetish on the internet and assuming that everyone is into that.

    If Joyce is thinking of them in terms of “from… all the way down to…” then I’m pretty sure she *already* has a “which order [she] should try them” in mind.

    I refuse to believe that a list of sexual acts that don’t count as full on sex in the eyes of the church (or whatever metric Joyce is using) would fill a ream of paper; that would be five pages, tops.
    unless Joyce also printed the description of each one?

    This is actually similar to an activity my high school health class had us do. Everything broke down when we got to “touching face” on where it should go on the continuum of intimacy. The class was equally split on if it was a “Eh, who cares, touch my face.” or “No way, I don’t want anyone touching my face way too intimate, more intimate than actual sex.” and it caused a huge argument that killed the discussion. I think Our Whole Lives has a similar activity but stresses that every person and couple will have a different rating for intimacy and it’s highly subjective.

    I think Dorothy was more spiraling and horny jealous of Joyce a few days before getting back with Walky. After thinking about it I think she’s in a better place to be more objective in doing an activity like this with Joyce.

      That is VERY interesting. 😀 I fall on the “who cares, touch my face AS LONG AS IT’S NOT PAINFUL” side, but I’m quite fascinated to hear that some people view it as being more intimate than sex. I’d love to know more statistics about the participants, like, age, gender, cultural background etc. to figure out what might cause the difference in opinion.

    If someone came to me asking how to do the fuck, my recommendations would look exactly like this. It’d look like Roz telling her only she can know what she likes, and Joyce making a huge list of all the things she wants to try. The crucial element that all of this is missing is that all of this should be DISCUSSED WITH THE PARTNER! Good god girl, talk to him! He has the most knowledge about the hanky-panky the two of you’ll do because he’s half of it!

    Joyce, just assign a number to each entry, and then start rolling dice to choose an item. Practice said item, and then repeat. Or make up your own monopoly-knockoff game and put the sexy items in the community-chest and chance piles. That’s what my second college gaming group did.

If you do a close read not only of the Bible but the archeology, it starts to look like the Israelites, & all but a couple of Judean kings, worshipped a goddess for pretty much the whole First Temple era. The implications of this are... far ranging-- & her name might not be what we've believed.

Kids and adults standing on a pedestrian bridge over the highway with protest signs that say fascists out and no Trump no ice. The best one is green and says Trump eats boogers.

We can’t make the actual event at the capitol today, so you’ll find us with the kids on University with our signs (and I might bring the megaphone too). Even if you can’t make it to the capitol - come out in your own neighborhoods, even if it’s for a few minutes. Be seen. Be heard. #nokings

At Comic-Con 2009 I was getting misgendered a fair bit and feeling anxious AF about it. Robert Downey Jr. was doing a press conf for Sherlock Holmes. I wanted to shout out a question but hated drawing attn to myself. I did it anyway. He gestured at me: "the lady in the blue shirt." I was so happy.
