I don't know if y'all can link to this page without a subscription, but there is a letter to the Salon advice column that states that "there is an unwritten rule that the guy should not be the very first one to say "I love you" in a relationship, and I think for good reason. "

Whaaaa? Is this really an unwritten rule? I don't like this rule.
Also, I'm late to the anal discussion, but although I've never engaged in it, I've never been particularly against it until I heard here that it gave men "bragging rights." Now there's no way I'm ever going to have anal sex with a guy unless I have serious blackmail-worthy information about him sufficient to deter him from bragging to all and sundry about my bedroom proclivities (I'm compensating b/c I only knew the meaning of 13 words on that spelling list).
