So one night me and my “friend” we having sex, and we switched so I was on top. Then at one point I heard this _POP_ and I asked, “Ummm, what was that?” He laughed, “My dick!” I said “OH!” I just laughed cuz he did… but I wonder if I did something wrong. He said he never knew that they actually did that… neither did i for that matter. But may I ask if any one knows why this occurs? And if there’s any certain time during sex that it happens? Thanks a bunch. ---

Did you ever make a popping sound by sticking your thumb in your mouth and popping it out rapidly? A sound like a cork popping out of a champagne bottle? Well, maybe that’s a close enough analogy. I suppose I can understand the inventive gentleman experimenting with sex by discovering different sonic effects to add a touch of variety to the basic rhythm. But personally I would prefer to keep the tool in the socket until completion. (And then some.) ---

No No see Mojo, he was still in me, it popped like _pop_ my knuckle cracked. ---

Well… hmmm… It would all depend on his actions and how he expressed himself. [list=1] [li]He casually says, "No, it’s just my penis, **sugar**. This would be highly unlikely in any event. A penis does not _pop_.[/li][li]He looks at you with eyes the size of overheating glowing lightbulbs trying to scream but only registering a faint “mmmmmmmyy… penis.” His penis has, at this point, been bent in a direction that it did not like.[/li]suction. ---

Finally watching Loveline pays off. Apparently there is a ligament “down there” like there are in your fingers. If you press down on it after its been erect for a while it will make the same sound that popping your knuckles make. ---

I will confirm from personal experience, yes your penis can pop. It feels sorta like cracking your knuckles, except at the base of your penis. ---

I wanna join the “popping penis” club! Me, too! It doesn’t happen that often to me, but it is a weird feeling… made **Astrofiancee** jump up and go “What the hell was THAT?” the first time she heard it! 😃 ---

Well, I hope you told her it was something only the studliest of American alpha males have. 😃 ---

So Astroboy, is there like a specific time that it happens or is it just a whenever it feels like popping type thing? And ummm, oh shucks I fergot my other question. Anyway, for some strange reason this fascinates me. ---

It makes a little pop, and isn’t exactly pleasurable. ---

Anyway, for some strange reason this fascinates me. Doesn’t happen all that often… but I second **KV** … happens when the erect penis is pushed down! _pop_ It’s a weird feeling, not pleasurable, not UNpleasurable (for me, anyways)… just weird! I completely understand your fascination with this, **Sugar** , I am also fascinated by the female version of the human genitalia! **Astrofiancee** , however, does not share our interest, and objects when I get a flashlight and say “Hold sill, dammit!!” Such is life… ☹ Usually happens when **Astrofiancee** is on top: a position that she enjoys (as if I DON’T :rolleyes: ). She says, “I have conquered you!” (remember, she’s Korean… doesn’t understand Western culture very well). I say, “Conquer away, babe!!” Anyways, the popping happens when she, uh, kinda… uh… grinds her hips down towards our feet (if that makes sense). And not always… just sometimes… I hope that’s vague enough for ya!! And **DDG** , there’s no need to tell her that… I am 194 cm. tall, and my shoe size is 16. As is well-known througout the civilized world, everything is in proportion… [sup]Damn, this water is cold (in the port-a-potty)… AND it’s DEEP!! And the bottom IS sandy!!![/sup]
