But I'm a lesbian ...
... in a bloke's body.
Obligatory Paris icon added.
We at El Reg have been called a fair few things in our time, but never before has it been suggested that we are dedicated practitioners of the Sapphic arts. Well, it was only a matter of time, and readers are invited to have a shufti at this piece from the Independent, which earlier today examined in some depth the Lesbian …
You've got your Lesbians mixed up ........ the cheeks are for the other ones apparently ;o)
@ Everyone Lesbo-Paris'ing .....
I'd rather it be Kylie Minogue and Alissa Milano ...... now there's a vision I still very much enjoy <vsg>
Speaking of Lesbians and El Reg actually - I can understand where us blokes would insert into IT ..... but where would the Lesbians? surely this should have given it away that they were gonna get themselves into a sticky position (okay, I couldn't help it) and leave 'em wide open (dammit, not again) to a lil criticism on their lack of journalistic research?
/- Penguin - cause someone had to .......
Those spoilsports at the Indie may have changed the article, but Google's cache will always show the truth about our Sapphic leanings:

The Independent has caused no slight on your good name, especially one of sexual orientation:
"Now, an on-line magazine called The Register has put forward a solution."
That's taken directly from the article linked to by your good self, Sir.
Paris, because it's obligatory, and because her studious nature would ensure she CHECKED THE OFFENDING ARTICLE FIRST!
Ah, yes, fair comment. A retraction is certainly the done thing, although Steven Burn also makes a very fair point.
I really shouldn't post just after I've had a coffee - it makes me all tetchy, strident and shift key happy. At least I had the sense to post anonymously, so you've no idea who I am. I could be your teacher, your mum, or your care worker... Doh, just finished another coffee ;-)
"If you honestly enjoy Paris' aural offering, might I suggest "Kingston Town" by UB40. It has essentially the same chord sequence and rhythm but without the attendant problems of making me want to stab someone in the eye."
the similarity was not lost on me the other morning. I found it not unpleasant to listen to for a couple of minutes, although I shan't be queuing it up for a .torrent download (unlike her videos which are much more interesting, especially her *o*ral offerings)
I can't even remember the name of it now. Who were we talking about? Paris who?
You Should Have Finished Reading The Thread.
Apt advice for a few of the "Mr. Angry"s in this here forum :)
Beware the power of the internet. Something you would never have said if you'd had five seconds to think twice can now be said in four seconds, and half-way round the world by the fifth....
I can't point to one study, I am extrapolating from several studies which included lots of field research at Ani Difranco concerts.
Women are slightly more biased to symmetrical mates than males are, and each sex is better at identifying their own genders symmetry. Everyone orgasms harder and quicker with a symmetrical partner. In women seemingly this 'upsuck' can rip off a condom and deposit it in the cervix. Women are also slightly more symmetrical than men are so it seems likely that lesbians generally achieve faster orgasms than the rest of the LGBT community.
"Yet, it was only three years ago that two British biologists, Robin Baker and Mark Bellis, tested the so-called upsuck hypothesis. "

"If it's true that our insistence of symmetry in the laws of nature is largely a selection effect because of how our brain works, it may mean that there are completely different ways to formulate the laws of nature in which symmetry is not the most fundamental thing," Livio said.

"Overall, the researchers found that faces correctly classified to their own sex, and therefore considered to be either more feminine or masculine, tended to be faces with higher symmetry."
