  • There’s a weird thing here. I totally accept that the traditional tongue map is pseudoscience and debunked, but if you’re paying attention to something like wine or good chocolate, letting it spread across your whole tongue really does seem change the flavor and bring new aspects to what you’re tasting.

    My subjective impression is that there is some effect to exposing the whole tongue to a stimulus, and I’d really like to understand it more - but when you search the web, you pretty much just get deconstructive articles about the old model, and not much about what might actually be happening.













  • I’m going to assume you’re being wilfully ignorant but not trying to be an ass. “Gay” is more often used of men than women, and it’s perhaps more common for people to use “lesbian” for gay women, but it just means homosexual (or sometimes more generally not heterosexual), regardless of sex or gender.

    Cambridge: “sexually or romantically attracted to people of the same gender or sex”

    Merriam-Webster: “of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s same sex”

    Oxford: “sexually or romantically attracted to people of the same sex”

    Brittanica: “sexually or romantically attracted to someone who is the same sex”

    Wiktionary: “Possessing sexual and/or romantic attraction towards people one perceives to be the same sex or gender as oneself.”
