phallocentric, indeed!
this convo is so hilarious. consider that giggles are about being embarrassed. a defense mechanism, if you will. for pity's sake, having some uptight fuckmuffin telling us that giggles are somehow a sign of something bad in a discussion about how we harbor puritanical attitudes toward sex and expecting us to, instead, intellectualize it all--so as to, once again avoid conflicting feelings--without recognizing that intellectualizing it all is, itself, just another defense mechanism--not to mention a demand to behave with propriety about the topic--is just too hilarious!
