This might be kind of a "shaggy dog" story but bear with me. I've been on the internet and in chat rooms since I was 14 years old, in 1995. I've heard a lot of turns of phrases and I think I have exceptional knowledge of where things/conversations can lead.
Back in the late '90's my husband twisted his knee pretty bad and tore some things that needed rest to repair and not necessarily surgery but we were kind of hot and heavy at the time and he was like well "what do I do about my social life?" and the doctor replied with "she can be on top." It was a perfectly acceptable answer to me and I've since seen many other instances of a man's sex life being referred to as his social life. I once poised the question on a different forum and was shot between the eyes because "social life" is just your friends but what if sex is your only level of socializing? I'd really like to discuss this in a way where no one is a victim or a predator because in most situations that's really not the case, but it really makes me think about turns of phrases that may not be as overt as they seem. Thoughts?
