No, not about ducky sex. Human sex this time.
Summer’s post on sex got me into a real rant. I, too, haven’t been much interested in sex since J was born, over two years ago. I’m tandem nursing and I’m really, really busy. The drive just isn’t there, at least not in the conventional sense. I mean, sometimes I wouldn’t mind curling up to a vibrator, but that’s different.

We got him pull-ups for night-time – pink trimmed, Dora the Explorer pull-ups. This may well turn him gay – I’ve heard quite reliable reports from all across America that anything remotely feminine will turn a growing boy gay.
