Oh, if it were brought up in the heat of passion, it wouldn’t have the copyrighted cutesy name. We make up the names so we can tell the guys about the fun stories. And thank you for the grant. Um, for the ladies…which of these acts would you do? (this should SO be another thread) ---

I love these threads because I never hear these terms in my day-to-day life and I am just fascinated that they exist! To me, what goes on between the sheets doesn’t need labels though … ---

What’s an omelette? (Am I going to be sorry I asked?) Regarding the “tossing the salad” bit, I suppose if someone asked me in a normal way (ie - lick my butt hole) at least I would think about it. I would say no 'cus I just don’t go there, or want anyone else to go there either, but I would think about it. But if there was some dorky name I’d assume he was kidding, and that would be the end of that. ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] Guys don’t ask for these things because, if done, they MAY cause sex to come to a screeching stop. That’s the worst possible scenario, when it comes to sex. [/QUOTE] What’s the logic behind that? “I won’t ask for what I really want, and the I’ll be surprised when I don’t get it”? Geez. There’s probably something she wants too… ask away and start the dialog. I heartily recommend the tea-bag. Not so ‘out there’ as it might sound. ---

I knew what it meant but I have no idea why I knew. Just, you know, hanging out on the internet a lot. I’ve seen/comprehened most of the ridiculous sex terms listed so far in this thred. I blame violent video games. Or at least the incredibly juvenile message boards attached to such 😛 I think though, by definition, if I know these terms then I’m no lady. ---

[QUOTE=malkavia] After learning about [Dirty Sanchez](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Sanchez) and the [Angry Dragon](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=angry+dragon) I’ve come to the conclusion that for some men, eroticism isn’t a factor. _shudder_ [/QUOTE] I’ve heard of the first one, but not the second. What they say, would that really happen? And if she killed him for doing it, would she get off for assult? :dubious: ---
