“When [Disgrace] published the ‘Ruff Sex’ portraits in On Our Backs in 1989, I ran one photo as the centerfold - a girl gang bang that showed it’s femme bottom in the outer reaches of sensation. It was an amazing construction of a classic girl fucked into insensibility by strangers who carry that ‘don’t know or care’ air about them. The magazine was immediately returned by most of our retailers, and never made it though the mail to others. ‘Ruff Sex’ was seen as the unthinkable - a lesbian oxymoron. How could women be so rough with each other? How could there be a ‘victim’ and her tormentors? How could they ‘use’ her that way? And to top it off, how could these women be such remorseless exhibitionists as to perform the whole scene for the camera? None of these questions would be relevant if it weren’t for the assumptions that we have about female sexuality: deferential, gentle, nurturing, modest. We are surprised to see women put their bodies to the test sexually, to go to the extreme - although this is exactly what a woman’s body is made for: extremes, endurance. One thing about women who are into masochism is the stamina factor - the endurance, and the yearning for release through endurance. Perhaps the greatest feat of ‘Ruff Sex’ is the players look out of control - as candid and spontaneous as spit-”

I’m so eternally trapped between wanting to be genuinely overpowered by another person and wanting to turn myself into a 300 lb hyper athletic multi discipline killing machine
Its so weird when ppl are compliment your outfit when its clear its some low effort shit and they’re just trying to say you’re hot in a socially acceptable way.
Like just say you want to bite my collarbone like a normal person.

In one of my gamerest moments of all time, I Made the stroganoff from the bonus features of a czech first person shooter.
I didnt stick one to one to the recipe, because its a kinda wack recipe, but i significantly changed up my normal stroganoff recipe in a way that might be here to stay. The general gist of it is i normally make a roux, dredge my meat, soak my mushrooms, etc, and serve over egg noodles. The recipe from hrot just rawdogs the shit, no flour AND no beef stock, just fuckin meat and red wine and tomato paste. And sour cream. And i read that and was scared i would curdle or separate the sour cream with the abundance of heat (no stock to act as medium) and acidity, so rather than stick to the recipe i added the paste pre-flouring and then deglazed with the wine, and then used about 70% my usual beef stock. It turned out pretty great, i tempered the sour cream for longer than i probably needed to, but the end result was like my standard stroganoff but with a more rounded flavor and some extra notes of wine. The tomato is a welcome addition as well, though it was never in what I had growing up. I was sort of worried about drowning out the subtler flavors by adding the extra stuff, and i think i might tweak the amounts, but all in all i’ve learned some new strogan teqhniques. I also lost my corkscrew again, so i had to open the wine with a wood screw .-.
Oh and also, the recipe calls for cubed pickles to be used as a garnish, but the total amount of acidity from the wine, tomato, and pickle all seemed like a bit much. I may, however, try that the next time i make it with my tweaked proportions.
