I don’t care if you moan, but keep it real. The fake ones sound like “When Harry Met Sally”. Maybe it fooled Rob Reiner’s mother, but I thought it just sounded lame. ---

I 'spose back rubs aren’t necessary. Besides, I can’t think of any better compliment a woman can give me than waking up all my roommates and everyone on the block. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Whammo \* > \*\*I have a screaming story I could tell that is SO FUCKING funny I can’t beleive I’ve never told anyone. I couldn’t even tell the nameless faceless masses. 'sides, that’d be a hijack. \*\* WHAT?! Please tell the story! How can you leave us swaying in the breeze like that? No fair! Tell! Tell! I used to be really quiet until I met current SO. I’m mostly a moaner, but he makes me scream, cry, and say dirty little things too. All in an extremely good way, of course. He’s not tight-lipped either. I love the things he whispers in my ear… ---

Well. Interesting topic, _very_ interesting reading! I’m glad to see there’s a variety of likes and dislikes in this area. As for me? Well, I used to be quiet as a mouse \. Now, with only one kid still at home, and a much bigger house… I don’t know. Haven’t had a chance to find out. ☹ There have been a few times when we were truly alone, and I was anything _but_ quiet. However, in lieu of a lot of noise, I do grab him tightly at certain times, I moan softly, and when the big explosion happens, trust me, he is in **no doubt** _whatsoever_ what is happening with me. I couldn’t be still to save my life. Now, if you want to know just what I do that tips him off, you’ll have to ask him. I’m not very coherent at the time, if you know what I mean. It’s amazing that his back isn’t covered with scars, though I’ve never drawn blood as far as I know. \ Come to think about it, he mentioned the other day when we were chatting online that I get a funny peculiar look on my face that he adores. Hmmmm. Now I’m curious as to what that look looks like. \ ---

Oh, and btw, guys, we need feedback too. He does have a habit of laying quite still while I’m…well, you know. No moaning, no movement, not much reaction at all, until… Anyway, I found a way to get him to open up to me. I simply stop. And look up at him. When he asks me why, I just say because I thought he wasn’t enjoying it at all. The first time I did that, the look on his face was priceless! 😛 Now, he’s much better at letting me know if I’m doing it right. 😉 ---

Screaming and moaning are much better for the man than the squeak of inflated plastic… ---

How do you all scream and make that much out of it, I’ve had orgasms that were just… wow, but screaming? Maybe I’m just not that type of person, I’m the whimpering/moaning type and I have an odd habit of biting my lower lip. Danny if you’re reading this just shut up and stop laughing. Guys is that really all that bad? Do you really need the theatrics and the “Oh god, yes baby, yes! Do that again! Oh God!”?
