Status check: is there a burning question put to the gentlemen that has not yet been addressed?
One for the ladies: the vast range in erotic sensitivities in women never ceases to amaze me. Making love to a woman is an individual experience–it can never be done beautifully to two women in the same way. Every woman is different in what she’ll respond to–sometimes drastically so. Is it the same with men, or are they all the same?
Well in theory, but what happens when you fight a better\quicker eye gouger?
Same here. Most dress pants don’t leave that much to the imagination, especially if the guy sits a bit forward in his chair without crossing his legs. People talk about women wearing tight clothes or low-cut tops at work, but I’d love to see a guy brought into the boss’s office to discuss his bulge.
At the same time, it doesn’t register as much more than ‘Huh, I guess that’s where he keeps his penis.’ Because honestly, who knows what’s meat and what’s potatoes in there?
I’m not sure how it is for other women, but on the semi-dates I’ve been on before it’s been clear whether or not there are mutual feelings before we start asking out. As for being ‘the decider’ and saying no, it doesn’t make me feel powerful at all, it makes me feel like I’m not attracted to this guy and I feel like a bit of a jerk if he thought otherwise, but god I hope he’s cool about it so I don’t have to end the night hating him. Or that I have my period or thrush and I don’t know him very well. Or he’s got the make-out skills of a teenager and I don’t want that to progress to regrettable sex. But never power. Not when there’s always a chance, however slim, that they won’t take no for an answer.
Uh, that’s ‘making out,’ not asking out.
Yeah, I’m occasionally more attracted to the idea of sex with a woman I dislike, because there’s a “shut that bitch up” element.
Depends on the sex. If it’s been a few days and I’m at an… err… “juicy” part of my cycle, it’s pretty messy. I pretty much always try to make sure there’s something, a clean t-shirt or little towel to catch some of it, then go pee and clean up. If there’s no cloth handy it’ll start running down my leg on the way to the bathroom, which is not so sexy.
Dry part of my cycle and frequent sex? High likelihood of just snuggling in and falling asleep on my side or back to avoid drippage.
On semen flavor, I posted this in that zombie orgasm thread that just got nixed:
Thumbs up for pineapple and pineapple juice, thumbs down for coffee, cigarettes, and red meat (when it comes to flavored emissions, that is).
I am an extremely enthusiastic… erm… service provider in this realm, but a few months back NajaHusband took up coffee as practically a second hobby. Immediately it took on a bitter, acrid taste which triggers my yark reflex instantaneously (not attractive). It’s kind of a bummer for me, but if he likes his coffee more than he likes finishing in my mouth, I guess it’s a good thing we’re trying for a pregnancy… thereby mooting the point 
There was a thread about zombie orgasms and I wasn’t informed?
I don’t know, I never met one. 
(For the record, I didn’t go around gouging many eyes. Mostly if someone came at me and a fight was inevitable, I wanted to end it as quickly and decisively as possible to ensure that it didn’t happen again. On that note, a steel-toed boot to the knee and a sock in the head was usually more effective.)
ETA: Cat Fight: 
First, a follow up? Do guys know when other guys are whacking off in the bathroom? What do guys think about that? Is it an everybody knows it happens but we don’t talk about it kind of thing?
BTW, I have personally never masturbated at work. But if I had about ten minutes to sit quietly and focus my imagination…
What about sex? can you have sex standing up or sitting?
Have it, yes. Climax, no.
What’s that Billy Crystal line? “Insert somewhere close, preferably moist…”
A few days prior to my period, I know I’m going to start it because 1) I constantly feel like I have to pee, even though I don’t actually have to pee, and 2) I eat everything in sight. I usually have a very small appetite, but when I’m PMSing I feel like I’m constantly gorging myself but never satiated. I’ve tracked my calories and usually eat about 400 more calories on those days (fortunately, since I don’t eat much, that means my PMS days are around the 1900-2000 calorie range, so damage is minimal.) I also weigh 4-7 pounds heavier during that week. I wish I was kidding.
When I actually start, in that instant, I can definitely feel it trickle. Sometimes it wakes me up!
I started when I was 9, I had already developed a rack and stuff, so it was pretty expected. I was kinda proud. I didn’t broadcast it to the world or anything, but I liked to think I was more mature than other kids and that kinda confirmed it for me.
Always wipe front to back. Otherwise you spread bacteria and can get an infection. Yuck.
I sneeze, cough, or leave the room.
Um, unless you’re on the pill, you can’t control when you have it.
I only tell people when it’s relevant, usually to describe the amount of stress I’m under. (In my social circle, particularly the females in my family, ‘‘I’m PMSing this week’’ is code for, ‘‘I’m depressed/crying a lot, filled with rage and generally feeling fat and unattractive and out of control of my emotions. Please remind me why life is worth living.’’)
I have large breasts. I figure they are noticeable enough as it is. I go out of my way to avoid showing too much cleavage, because when I do I feel like a brazen hussy. When I wish to dress sexy, I opt for form-fitting clothing to show off my curves vs. skin-revealing clothing to show off my cleavage.
I’m 26. When I was about 20ish I noticed the trend in porn and among a certain subset of my peers and decided I was going to try to shave it all off, just to see what it was like. Worst. Experience. EVER. I felt completely… whatever the female counterpart of emasculated is. I felt prepubescent and gross. It was also physically painful. Never doing that again.
As a side note to the beard thing, I find it interesting that my distaste for beards is puzzling, but men express preferences for how women groom their nether regions. I believe the same principles apply here.
I have issues with bodily fluids in general. So HELL NO.
I’m not sure why women would be weirded out by your wife. I’m by all appearances a traditionally feminine woman, though I have a passion for bugs, spiders, slugs, lizards, snakes, etc and I’ve never been ostracized because of it. The strongest reactions seem to come from my interest in sci-fi and gaming.
If by ‘‘personal care’’ you mean ‘‘shower and make-up and shit,’’ my husband spends way more time getting ready in the morning than I do. I can be done in 20 minutes if I have to. We do equal amounts of housework but I have noticed I have way more belongings than he does in general, therefore I usually spend more time cleaning up my own stuff than he does cleaning up his own stuff.
As for general questions about why men can’t do housework, the roles have historically been completely reversed in my household. He used to do way more around the house than me, now we mostly split things evenly. But I notice he consistently demonstrates an inability to clean his hair out of the bathtub (ewww), whereas I consistently demonstrate an inability to take out the garbage (also ewww.) So we’re deficient in different areas, and it works.
This is so far outside the realm of my experience I don’t even know where to begin. I suspect this kind of overt sexuality is way more common among guys growing up than women.
I think it tastes awful. I’ve tried, in the past, to accustom myself to the taste of sperm, and I just can’t. I just end up choking and sputtering which is very unromantic. I don’t understand the appeal of eating a woman out either, but I’ve known girls who love to swallow and men who love to eat pussy, so I guess different strokes for different folks (heh.)
Never. And if i caught someone, I would be very pissed.
We have a joke that if you do it right, spit swallow or taste are not an issue, since it’ll shoot straight down the back of your throat anyway…
Personally, I think it tastes a little like BC powder but less itchy going down.
Wow
Standing, sitting, laying down. I can think of very few positions that I couldn’t have sex or masturbate in.
I’m not a woman, but being a gay guy I think I can field this.
It depends on the guy and how much hair we’re talking about. Some guys, like my SO look best with very little body hair. (he’s 5’9" and just over 130 pounds) Discovering that a ‘twink’ type had a very hairy chest or (god forbid) back would be a turn off. Other guys, like the tall, broad, “manly man” types, are usually better with some hair. There is such a thing as too much though, hairy shoulders are gross, hairy backs are a major no-no, crotch hair so thick you can’t even see their penis, etc.
I’ve been with a few guys that I could run my fingers through their chest hair and it was sexy as hell. If my SO had a chest like that it would be wierd.
I don’t know what BC powder tastes like (or even what it is, really … is that the old-timey headache stuff?) but I came in here to say the same thing about not being able to taste it.
Except that I didn’t mean it as a joke…
I’ve always been confused by girls who say they “always spit, never swallow.” I can’t spit something out if it’s already behind the back of my tongue! (Also, that seems much ickier, to me at least. What, do you have a Dixie cup waiting next to you?)
OK, along those same lines, then: guys, when you’re going down on a girl, how do you breathe? Cuz for the reverse situation, a gal’s gotta hold her breath a little bit.
Erm…through the nose?
That, and 90% of cunnilingus is tongue action anyway, leaving plenty of room to breathe. Think of it more as a gracious outpouring of affection than a true “diving”, as it were.
