Re: the plane poll: I’ve used wheelchair services since around 2012. Generally the airline will line us up in a row and then wheel us up to the entry way before other passengers. It helps a lot especially the last couple years.

Or above. One of the benefits of having a baby was that sex stopped hurting. But if the guy is too large, i imagine he’s just not fun for PIV.

“Free estimates” is what I’ve usually seen.

And what I expect the “free roof” people will rapidly switch to after the sixth or sixteenth or six hundredth person they talk to who’s demanding a free roof.

I have heard of men so long that their action ends up actually hitting their partner in the most tender bits.

I think the poll lacks nuance.

The traditional categories are:  
Dorito chip  
Landing strip  
Brazilian

Some people would consider “Dorito chip” and “Sasquatch” to be separate categories.

Also, it’s pretty judgmental in its phrasing.

Well, to be fair, size goes both ways. It’s not just penises!

If those are the traditional categories, then I am partly clueless.

And I now find myself wondering whether “creamsicle” and “peach pie” are also pubic hair grooming terms.

Apparently, I joined in 2006, but I clicked 2001 because that’s when I started reading and I really think posting as well. Maybe not.

How do you think I feel?! Although, there’s at least one more person voting the same year as I, so I feel a tiny bit better.

All this time, I believed that eschereal’s picture is Ellen Burstyn. The red hair should have clued me in that she’s Molly Ivins. I didn’t get what a reference to Burstyn could mean. But the meaning of Molly Ivins is clear.
