“Is that a Lego?”

Guy here but I’ve filled and deleted my in and out box a couple of times with just a lot of discussion, commiseration and good natured back slapping. Now I feel so… used.

I hope I’ve sent out a few and just forgotten about them. My creepy credentials have been going south for quite a while. I’ve become so bland. It sucks.

Too twisted? Not sick enough? I need a little feedback here.

I’ve posted about “clitoral orgasms”, sex toys, lesbian sex (I think) and a lot of other sexy stuff.

The only two PM conversations I’ve ever been in are someone telling me the name of an artist I didn’t know and recently someone the field of food science explaining their job.

I guess I need to step it up if I want to get creepy messages.

Someone needs to link to this _classic_ thread about funny things said during sex. 'Nuff said 😉

Change your username too. Change it to something like slut\_bunny, that helps.

Now half the guys are going to take up that suggestion just to test the theory.😉

If you find yourself in such a situation again, PM a mod (with links to the indiscreet posts) and explain why you feel they should intervene, even without her asking them to (if all the indiscreet information is in a single post, simply report it). If the mods think you should butt out, they’ll just let you know.

I once had to perform such a service for a Doper, and there weren’t any repercussions. Said Doper is still posting regularly.

However I find the idea of raven thievery both exhilarates me and arouses me and I am keen to learn more, perhaps you could instruct me further? I would not think that I should jump in at the deep end to begin with: perhaps I could try stealing some of the smaller corvids and work my way up? I would suggest perhaps stealing magpies as a starting point (with the added bonus if caught I could claim that the magpie had stolen itself). I would be grateful for your instruction and could offer sexual favours in return.

Can you forward the food scientist one? I’ve always wondered about that too.

You’re welcome. I could have sworn someone did an Ask the Food Scientist thread but if they did, I haven’t found it.

I don’t feel the need to send any. I post my creepy sexually themed posts right in the threads.
