lie to me
Or you could do what presumably millions of people do and date or marry other people who tolerate or even enjoy such things rather than practice arts of cloak and dagger mysteries. Sex or pornography addictions are one thing and online flirtations still another (to say nothing of real life dysfunctions). Finding a different means expression of a spouse's (or the potential for one) sexuality? I'm not sure that's always going to be worth it, but where it is, what's the point in hiding who you are from generally the most intimate person in your life?
Other news, which feels like last year's news since it was fairly obvious: Sarah Palin will have millions of dollars available to her to frontline for various conservative groups. Cashing in always looked like the most likely reason. We'll know in about a month I guess if it's the only reason, but "Follow the money" is just about the oldest routine in journalism and political analysis.
Pitfalls of regulatory systems
Laws of unintended consequences make it difficult to properly value such things. But sometimes it does appear we need some better technocratic advice on how to run a country and less business-minded advice.
This is one of the more complicated arguments involving reducing pollution generally. Hybrids see this all time such that people would have to drive them for several years (much as they would in an economic sense for any car, only now for pollution's sake as well). There's pollution generated by individual optimal use, which is low, and then there's pollution generated to create, which is not (at least not yet). Individual optimal use however doesn't always exist. People consume energy more easily when they think their costs are low, or they tolerate and/or create greater traffic conditions which waste fuel and generate more pollution. There's a careful balance required that I'm not sure policy makers understand in order to create actual conservation of energy or less pollution. Given how easily they screw up less technically demanding fields, I am not optimistic.

Hilarious. So is sharing the porn the ultimate intimacy? Because that's pretty fucking cool. These people who think they're writing the future of our culture just crack me up.
Yeah, her next few steps are bound to be HILARIOUS. This will be good. What type of vehicle can she now create? bwahahaha.
I've yet to invest in a hybrid, though I'd like to. But if they put in high speed rail I'd invest multiple ticket purchases plus obvious tax dollars in that, happily.
I wouldn't say porn itself is an "ultimate intimacy". It's probably a bigger part of it than people would admit. Simply because so many people spend hours per year/month/week looking for it (not just men). It's also however more or less like watching movies or TV together when you come down to it. People have all sorts of crazy interests in their habits there too that don't always mesh with their partners. They can still trade off watching a basketball game with some inane dramedy movie. I should think that means people can tolerate each other's sexual curiousities/fantasies to some degree. The bigger question is usually translation to reality, not "what the hell are you watching?!"
I think the thing with HSR/hybrids was that they're a mixed bag as far as policy. They're great for individuals. Not so much for the overall picture, at least so long as they're competing for resources with less efficient, but cheaper, methods or compelling people to waste resources still (such as by sitting in traffic).
Well, yeah...not the ULTIMATE intimacy...Shark porn!
For some reason I can't paste any links or text in the comment box, but there's a classic friends episode where monica mistakenly tries to accept her husband's proclivity for shark shows. Hilarious..
They'd have had real problems during "shark week!"
"No, honey, it was just good ol' red-blooded American girl on girl porn!"
"You make me so happy!"
Or something like that.....funny.

Fixed the link weirdness at least this way.
I would imagine if the body image factor was any problem, lots of men would have similar issues. But then, judging from many commercials, lots of men already do.
Cool. Yeah, I get an awful lot of penis enlargement spam, too.
