There are many arguments over this topic, but I have to stick with the English, due to them being creative and extremely loving?

The English? Um opposite if I ever saw one, as pertaining to the question. I'm not sure, but thinking deeply. But English, I know it is not.

The English? They can’t even do food right. And all their upper lips are stiff. Oh, I suppose if I needed a spanking from a Schoolmarm an Englishwoman might do in a pinch, but for love?

Give me an ethnic domestic (but yes, Catholic) model. Puerto Rican, Italian, Irish, Brazilian. But American.

I don't know, but the English don't sound like real contenders. I forget the exact quote, and am too lazy to look it up, but it was something along the line of English men treating horses better than women.

Of course that may have been more applicable in horse-intensive times, but the metaphorical truth could remain. But I dunno, I keep flashing back on glee's nonchalant presence in "Guy Stuff", when he casually licked his own ear and impressed the hell out of some pretty demanding ladies.

          Always a good idea to check the country you happen to be in, at the time. You know, nothing propinques like propinquity.

Can't answer the OP really. My best ever was American, my second best ever was Irish, but I've learned they are not necessarily representative. (My research, however, continues )

I'd say from my experience, it'd have to be an good ole' Irish-American, and by extension the Irish, but it could just have been the red hair.

I will say that the worst are the Jewish ladies. No personality judgements, but my experience was she was inhibited and selfish in bed.

I have no idea. Please allow me to perform some experiments.

Please line up outside my door alphabetically in order of height, and I will attend to each woman individually, in 30 minute appointments, to determine the facts.

Probably the best lover would be the one that listens to everything you want & gives it to you. Such servitude isn't ingrained in american women. :-)

So you have looked at my profile, but what it doesn't tell you is that I am male - Does this change the situation? Perhaps now you will get off my case, which you have been on since I joined the board.

Male or female...your gender makes no difference to me. Is there some reason it should? I don't understand why you think I am on your case either, just answering the questions that you directed towards me... Why I do believe I even welcomed you to the board.

I am a bit curious as to why you keep singling out my posts and not others tho... if I didn't know any better I would say someone has a crush
