Good news! I have discovered the Motherlode Pore(tm)!

Yesterday evening, at approximately 8:30 PM, EST, as I was lazily scratching my boyfriend’s back, my fingernail caught on what initially appeared to be a small scab. Intrigued, I investigated further, an lo! I discovered what must surely be The Motherlode Pore™ After months of searching for this fabled deposit, I had nearly given up hope. But my tireless quest was rewarded! With only slight pressure, the Pore yielded what must surely have amounted to several milligrams of a thick, waxy substance of a peculiar brownish hue that I had not previously encountered in my search for the perfect squeeze. When the contents of the lode were finally completely expressed, a deep and fairly regular circular hole was left, several millimeters deep and possibly as much as a centimeter wide! I gazed in wonderment and wept openly at its beauty. I can only hope this initial and momentous expression was only the beginning of a deep and ore-rich vein that will yield countless hours of joyful squeezing. Oh, would that I had a scanner to share with you all this thing of beauty, this prodigy of nature I have found on my boyfriend’s back. :smiley:

you are only slightly less disgusting than this dog we had once that would lick this greenish cheese-like substance from the tip of his dick. only slightly…


This OP not worthy of a sig.

You’re going to make a bunch of Dopers jealous. There’s closet and not-so-closet pore poppers out there somewhere.

I can’t believe you posted this.

My boyfriend never lets me squeeze his back zits!!! You don’t realize how lucky you are. That is disgusting, amazing, and all around messed-up.

My husband has two of those bad boys on his chest. It takes about a year for them to build up into something good, but if it wasn’t for me, he would still think they are moles. I love them. He has something far more minor on his back. I just like that.

I sure wish I had someone to squeeze my zits and pull out my blackheads. Angie doesn’t seem to be interested in pore mining and I’d like to have someone get the ones I can’t reach.

A centimetre wide?

Wow. I am in awe. Knee deep in awe. And sebum.

It will fill up again. Leave it for a couple of months, and see…

And here my boyfriend and ex (who as of yesterday share an apartment . . . hoo boy, am I in for it or what?) though I was the only one who did this. Thankyou for proving that I’m not quite as statistically rare as they thought! :smiley:

I’ve got this boil on my inner thigh . . .

Oh how I wish there’d been a TMI warning in the title.

I’m just going to clean the vomit off my keyboard now. :stuck_out_tongue:

There are other Dopers out there who are just as sick and twisted as I am. I found a thread about this exact thing once, but I can’t find it now. Anybody remember it?

As for the boyfriend, he hates to be ‘picked’, as he refers to my ‘hobby’, but realizes it is a necessary evil of routine maintenance which keeps him from looking like the Elephant Man. No, really. His facial skin is pretty clear, except for the nose area, which is a hotbed of activity. Those suckers fill up in days. :smiley: And then there’s the back: truly a thing of beauty. And this pore was miraculous in its form and function; expressing its contents was the closest I have ever come to a spiritual experience. It was like his back was birthing something.

I appreciate nature in all its myriad forms. Even the wretched and diseased have a friend in me. Besides, I like to perform grooming behaviors with individuals to whom I am emotionally bonded. I am a primate, you know. :stuck_out_tongue:

**ratty, ** here you go!

I adore mining back zits. There is nothing quite so rewarding as finding the motherlode. I still remember exactly where a past boyfriend of mine’s was… right above the wizard hat on one of the 38 tattoos he had… it was right between his shoulderblades and every 3 or 4 days you could get such marvelous waxy stuff out of it. Ahhhh… those were the days.

Something didn’t work there and I can’t figure out what I was doing wrong. But do a search on “Favorite pimple stories(maybe TMI)” and you should come up with it.

Okay, I think I have it now!

A hole a centimeter wide? Don’t you think it’s time for your boyfriend to see a dermatologist? :eek:

Other than that, I’d like to thank everybody for making me read all that. Excuse me, I’ll go and toss my cookies now.

Ratty, there are several threads on this subject that have been thoroughly discussed and conjectured about, and I believe I have read all of them. Just a hint, do a search for pimples, blackheads, cysts, etc., and you should hit a motherlode of threads that should keep you busy for awhile. I love this website.
P.S. Don’t listen to Coldfire. He loves this stuff; he just thinks he has to set a good example for the posters here, so he tries to act like he’s a grownup. But we know better.

I can assure you I’m quite serious.

Sigh I wish I had someone with me who could pinch out the blackheads on my nose and face (I can’t)…

Ahh…I have achieved a state of Zen Squeezee:

I have discovered TWO Motherload pores on myself.
One just right of my chin and one right where lower left ribs attach to my spine.
