I wanted to ask, in the original thread, what the logistics were, in a car, that allowed the girl ‘access’ to do what she did. Now I remain ignorant. ☹ ---

**UncleBeer** needs to get out more. Sex involves more than strict missionary position with the lights off. Prude. Rimming is fun and intensely pleasurable. Sure, hygiene is a definite concern, which is why you should save it for after the first date and then only after a nice hot shower. Assuming you have no intestinal problems, you should be as fresh as a daisy. ---

Maybe there`s an anti-rimming agenda… I asked my buddy, the rimmee, if he had ever seen the rimmer again after that night. He then asked me, “Would you date a girl that licked your ass on the first date?”. Enough said. ---

And besides the thread I’ve linked, there was another I made several months after that one restating the same thing. I can’t seem to find it now. Some other points to consider: 1. Perhaps your friend wouldn’t appreciate your discussing his sex acts in public. This is one of the reasons I closed it - because it wasn’t about _you_. You were discussing the private sex acts of other people. Acts they may not wish broadcast in such a public manner. 2. Several of you have mentioned that “worse threads have lasted longer.” Perhaps that’s true. But you’ll note that is a _subjective_ judgment that you have made. Which is **exactly** what I’ve done - made a _subjective_ judgment. You are certainly free to critricize me for it, but in my opinion it’s rather hypocritical to take me to task for doing exactly the same thing you’ve done. And after all, making subjective judgments _is_ the main thrust of my duties here. > [@](#): > > _ **posted by gobear:** _ > Rimming is fun and intensely pleasurable.

Assuming you have no intestinal problems, you should be as fresh as a daisy. Great. However, would you not agree this subject isn’t proper for discussions in all situations? There are times when it’s an unfit topic. > [@](#): > > Quick hurry over to IMHO there’s a 10 page monster about drinking cum and the like. Haven’t seen it. And not my forum. I don’t make highly subjective judgments in the forums where I have no _official_ duties. MPSIMS and IMHO serve different interests. ---

So are you saying that IMHO is the sex forum now and MPSIMS isn’t? That if the rimming thread had been started in IMHO it would have been fine? A little guidance, please. ---
