RE: answer me guyssss

I could turn that around and say do you girls really like sucking cocks as I would imagine that does not exactly stimulate the taste buds either (as neither does sucking toes,fingers,kissing).So I personally like licking pussies from a sexual point of view and leave the Hawiaain pizza to stimulate the tase buds.If I can combine the two I am even happier.

RE: answer me guyssss

It's not so much the taste as the act itself...so erotic....I love it ;)

RE: answer me guyssss

I also tasted both, pusy and cock and i like cock. i like to feel the cock in my lips and watch his face of pleasure. the cocks i tasted are much better than the pusies i had. at me cocks taste better. but u r right about cum. when its clear is healthy, if white then it means it tastes salty and yuck!!!!!

Reply

RE: answer me guyssss

well its not the taste that matters,,

its the intimacy ,, the closeness , when a woman wants you there , she has made a very intimate connection with you.
lets say more that good friends lol..

so then there is the look on her face,, the feeling you get as she gets more excited , and wants u not to stop , that , control , the teasing ,,
the knowing how much she is enjoying this, the experimenting to find the nicest moves, (have u tried mints ? )
every woman is slightly differnt there , and I love that giving
(see viewer forum a many girls have a lot down there to eat on hehe some a bit too much for me lol but ,, i guess all is of interest to try )
most women really really like oral there , a few less so, but its not a bad way to show how much you care for her,,

what do u girls think,,?

RE: answer me guyssss

Agree with you T, but you forgot to mention my favorite part. Her little gasps, moans and wiggles that let you know she's really enjoying herself.

RE: Eurovision

so is eurovision the european version of that crap show 'american idol' or what?

Reply

RE: Eurovision

it's not a show! it's a big contest among european countries!
Russian version for US crap "american idol" is "become a star" ...it's not very popular and it has different versions in each european country.
As for Eurovision, it is a very old contest among many european countries (as not all take a part in it yet). It started in 1956 and only 7 countries took a part in it. This year participated 42 countries.

The most well-known singers who took first place at Eurovision during its history in MY opinion are:
- "ABBA" (Sweden) with song "Waterloo" in 1974.
- Celine Dion (Switzerland) in 1988
- Toto Cutugno (Italy) in 1990
Russia joined Eurovision at 1994, Ukraine performed first time in 2003. Belarus joined in 2004 and this year it went to final first time :)

Logitech Rebate

I just found out Logitech has a rebate offer on their QuickCam Pro 5000 until the end of the month. Using price search engines I found it for under $60 with shipping before the $20 mail in rebate. Not sure if the offer is valid outside the US, but thought I'd post this for those of us who cam on a budget.

Sex problems o_O

so I've begun seeing this amazing woman who, dare i say it, i love even though we have only been seeing each other a month or so.

we've had sex numerous occasions yet... i can't seem to hit my climax nor can i cum for her :S it makes me feel really bad and guilty because i think she thinks that i don't find her attractive or something :( anyone else ever had this problem? any idea how i can.... cum in her/for her etc?

taking care of myself is normal though...

*confused and worried*

performance anxiety? condom too thick? lousy foreplay on your or her part? over-thinking it?

RE: Sex problems o_O

its all in the mind. you're thinking too much and worrying about what she will think. relax and let things happen how ever they happen. if "it" doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. just enjoy the actvivities and being together. eventually you'll realize she's not overthinking things as much as you.

i had this happen recently, then later, after things worked out, i tried to explain what happened and she never even knew there was an issue.

to sum it up...it's not as big a deal as you think it is, and you just need to relax and not think every time needs to be perfect.

or...try having a few drinks first!

RE: Sex problems o_O

You do not say how often you "take care of yourself" but you should certainly refrain from doing this for at least 3 days or more before you meet this girl. Wanking is a stronger physical stimulation to your dick than sex, especially when it is sex with a condom. Your dick may have just got used to this more vigourous treatment. Try using thinner condoms such as Durex Elite. Some condom have a stimulating lubricant which may help. And, as has been said elsewhere, just try to relax and enjoy it. The irony of having sex with a girl who you really care about is that you want everything to be perfect which makes you anxious, which can cause problems. When you don't care so much and just think of sex as a bit of fun you are not bothered and so everything works fine.

from being a 20 odd year old virgin to having sex 8 out of 9 nights is quite a step up o_O

Relax, the more you worry about it, the more it will elude you. This was humorously expressed by some toilette stall scribe who said, "Anxiety is the first time you can't get it up the second time. Panic is the second time you can't get it up the first time." Lol!

"Poor French?"

I know French bashing is an American past time, but the "white flag' joke is hackneyed and worn out.

As for the French being "poor," if the history of France and French culture is "poverty," then give me more. Few people or nations can surpass the French in regard of their contributions to mankind in nearly every human endeavor: Science, Medicine, Engineering, Mathematics, Literature, Art, Music, Architecture, Gastronomy, Viticulture, Fashion Design, Photography [French invented it], Film [again, the French invented it], Philosophy, Political Theory, Diplomacy, Human Rights......and the list goes on and on.

The French may not have a distinguished military history, but militaristic states usually contribute very little. Remember, it was Athens, not Sparta, that gave us the rich foundation for Western Civilization.

RE:

Napoleon? Bien Sur!

Yo,

You make a point that I was tempted to make, but the "white flag" crowd would simply point out that he too met the same end at Waterloo. The "Emperor" is an interesting figure however, because the French are quite ambivalent about him, as are his native Corsicans. The latter, who continue to engage in a tepid "independence" movement often claim they are not French, and I've always wanted to ask a fiercely independent Corsican if he thinks Napoleon was not French.

The US, of course, should be infinitely grateful to Napoleon who sold us---for a song--- the French held territory in North America in the famed "Louisiana Purchase" in order to fund his war debt. Jefferson, who knew a bargain when he saw it, didn't bother to consult Congress(!), just told his Treasury secretary to sign the check before Napoleon changed his mind! lol! ...."Laissez les bons temps roller." :)

Noted....and edited (for CC). Attempt #3...

You're right, generally in the entire Anglophone world---in which it has its roots. In fact the English and French have had such a long standing antagonism that I am frankly surprised they could agree on building the Eurostar tunnel across the channel. As an observer from America, but a former resident of France and frequent visitor to London, I was amused to hear the English and French confide in me their opinions of one another. For the Brits, it might be summed up by that condescending, but somewhat antiquated line, "Wogs begin at Calais." For the French, the British are a rather uptight, puritanical people with no 'joie de vivre’ and a people with a decidedly awful cuisine. (Although a number of French confessed they preferred---albeit not every day---the "Full English Breakfast" to their traditional croissant and/or "pain" [no pun intended] and cafe au lait.)

What I also found very funny in my conversations with males from both cultures was the claim---reminiscent of adolescent homophobia---that the 'other' were all gay. I remember some English guy telling me, "All French men are [bleep—CC] and hairdressers." By contrast a Frenchman told me, "Tous les Anglais sont comme ca"---he raises his hand and wiggles his pinky--- pédé. = "All the English are [bleep—CC]."

So, the "European Union" may exist politically and economically, but thank God each culture---like it or not---has its own identity.* And Bravo Jose Bove. Better a local Ma & Pa bistro than a Mc Donalds!!
