I’ve always wondered why women fake orgasms. Do they think we care?
And do they really think we care that they cut their hair? Why would I notice and even if I did, why would I comment. Haircuts happen. That’s the best you can say about them, and everyone, man and woman, looks worse right afterward.
I’ve been to nearly 25 bachelor parties, and pretty much all of them went the same way: take the bachelor somewhere relative cheap* to get him drunk, take him to a strip club and finish liquoring him up, carry his ass back to the car, go home.
*because strip club drinks are expensive. Generally the bachelor is taken to Hooters or another similar venue so that he can also eat some shitty food before throwing up.
Honestly, the wildest thing I’ve ever seen at a bachelor party was a guy getting tasered outside a downtown nightclub after trying to pick a fight with an off-duty cop, and subsequently falling and breaking his jaw.
Wait a minute - do you mean, “Do they think we care that they have an orgasm?” or “Do they think we care how they sound when they’re having an orgasm?” or “Why do they think they have to fake it if they’re not having fun?”
If it’s the last, women in general (broad brush) don’t like making other people feel bad. Especially with sex, being such a sensitive topic, they don’t want the guy to feel bad if they’re not doing a good job. This could be because they feel guilty making someone feel bad or because they just don’t want to deal with the consequences or making someone feel bad (having to soothe them after). Or maybe they’re embarrassed that they’re not having fun and just want to get the encounter over with as soon as possible.
I saw a very up-close-and-personal film of childbirth in college. Most of the people in the class (girls included) were squirming and/or visibly uncomfortable. Me: meh. I think the baby’s head looks kind of gross coming out, and the whole thing looks extremely painful, but I didn’t find it uncomfortable or oogey at all.
Seeing a birth live and in person - well, it’s not going to happen, since Mrs. Homie and I can’t have kids, but hypothetically, I think I’d be squirmy just from all the pain and not from anything inherently icky about the whole process.
Not at all. I loves me some fruits & veggies. In fact, next paycheck I’m going to hit the gourmet shop for some camembert and the farmer’s market for some grapes. MMMMMmmm, camembert and grapes.
Not really. Mrs. Homie made it clear early on in the marriage that she likes the sex vanilla. I just recently talked her into consenting into being tied up. :o

I have been to all of these versions. Much more of a tendency to be sleezy if they go at all in the ‘live women allowed’ direction, but rarely as overall wierd, descriptive and public as bachelorette parties.
Many seem to care. I’ve never faked and have had two men break up with me, citing the reason that I don’t have orgasms during plain old unaided coitus. I’ve been made to feel very inadequate because of my big “problem”. Faking would be easier, makes the man feel like he’s done well, etc.
I don’t know, but I can relate one experience. I dated someone who could only come with the aid of a high-power vibrator. (She did once from my fingers, but that was an exception.) Just about all of her past lovers were bothered by that, and thought that she should orgasm from what they did. My attitude was that whatever worked for her was good with me. It was nice because it took a lot of pressure off of both of us.
When I was younger I thought about sex every 10 minutes. Now that I am in my sixties, it is every 15 minutes… 
I saw the same film in high school health class and while no one was comfortable with it, there were definitely some extreme reactions. One guy ran from the room and puked all over the bathroom next door and nearly every girl in the class covered her eyes when the head was popping out.
I will admit, seeing the placenta shoot across the room was pretty nasty, but I held onto my cookies.
Generally no, but there is one position I’ve seen in porn that I’ve tried a few times. It just doesn’t work.
Ladies: How do avoid having people hear you fart?
Hold it until you can get somewhere alone, preferably the bathroom, to let loose. (Holding it does tend to hurt, but we deal with it.) If you’re in a noisy environment and you don’t expect it to smell, you can let it out a little at a time. If the bathroom’s right next to where the person/people you don’t want to hear are, you can even spread your cheeks so the only noise that comes out is “sssst”.
I don’t go through all that trouble for my SO though, we’re cool with each other’s biology.
Why do you talk all the time, and why do you expect me to care about <insert anything>?
Why don’t you ever cry, and how come if something is bothering you, you get all distant and won’t talk about it?
My question: are chicks embarrassed about your menstruation?
My answer: grow up, guys understand it and we don’t care if you have insecurities about it.
Grow up.
Be a man.
So women, what about that omnipresent male gaze from every dude you pass by? Can you feel their eyes burning into your skin? Is that creepy as hell or what? Do you ever get used to that shit? I’ve heard it likened to white noise, but still, it seems like it’d be difficult to keep the waves of revulsion down all the time. Did it freak you out when you were going through puberty? I know it doesn’t help but it’s mostly involuntary. The best we can do is to be as discreet as possible.
No, although it greatly depends on how horny I am. The frequency increases dramatically if I’m out and about or in a casual social situation with moderately attractive women. While doing paper work or whatever? Not so much. Maybe when I take a short break or something.
Yes and yes. Another component is thinking of idealized naked women and trying to visualize what I think this girl looks like naked, whether she’s sitting across from me or I’m just passing her on the street. Guys might even share their ideas with each other, given the right kind of pervy group. e.g. “Oh yeah, she definitely has a nice thick bush. Look at that arm hair.”
I don’t know if this is just me because I’ve never really read about other guys doing this, but when you have an erection and you’re sitting down and you’re not going anywhere for awhile (doing paper work, say) it can be fun to flex it here and there while thinking of whatever. And by flex I mean “look ma, no hands.” It feels fairly pleasurable. This can be done for awhile and really brightens up a dull afternoon. The only problem, of course, is that this just makes the situation worse and worse.
No, mostly because I don’t think of sex much if I have an immediate task at hand unless directly interrupted with a striking visual, like the girl in the next row who has a visible thong or the woman across the way keeps crossing and uncrossing her legs in that short dress. But even then, that’d only be a couple seconds of distraction.
Women: do you dress to be observed by your desired sex, or do you dress to be observed by other women (if those two are different), or do you dress to please yourself socially, or do you dress mainly for non-social function (keep warm, keep dry, support the body, etc)?
As a guy, I dress mainly functionally. If I’m comfortable, and nothing is hanging out, I’m good to go. I admit that there is a small component of trying to look good, but since I don’t have a really good idea what looks good on my anyways, it’s not a high priority. I can’t see myself from outside, except in the mirror, and I don’t really know what to look for anyways.
I do have fantasies of getting a significant chunk of money and going somewhere and asking them to ‘dress me’. However, in real life, when I did have a significant chunk of money, I spent it on software. I think a lot of this is the slow realization that attractiveness is rooted more in behaviour–motion, body language, voice, etc–than raw physical looks, and that changing the window-dressing doesn’t really improve the house. Far better to work on the foundations.
We have no tear ducts. They atrophy after puberty. It’s true. Tell your friends.
Depends on the day.
If I will be seeing my man: I dress to be observed by him if we are going out, otherwise to please myself socially, just look cute in general for the situation. He also likes me most really in a tshirt and jeans so I don’t have to do much to please both him and myself with regards to my wardrobe.
If I am going out with my friends (mainly a group women and gay men): dress to please myself socially but also try to dress the same way as my friends - dressing up or down etc so I’m not the only one dressed nicely or the only one in jeans and a tshirt when everyone else is in skirts and ties. Luckily only sometimes my friends feel the need to dress up when it is not necessary. I always wear proper clothes for events like weddings etc but my friends think it’s fun to wear those types of outfits to a damn bar full of people in jeans and sneakers and I find that annoying.
Daily, regular stuff like errands, school etc: functionally (I get cold easily, always bring jackets) and comfortably but also hate wearing clothes I don’t think are cute. Cute includes tshirts, jeans, wifebeaters, sandals and nicer stuff too. I tend never to “scrub” - I don’t own sweatpants or anything like that, but I also don’t wear dresses or skirts or other “really dressy” stuff often, I just kinda dress “normal” most of the time I guess, simple, but well-fitting and matching.
Ladies,
When you are having your period, how many people do you tell? I’m sure hubby/boyfriend would know, but do you share info with sisters/mother/co-workers/best friends.
For those that are on a regular 28 day cycle, do you (can you) try to adjust your days to a Monday start versus a Saturday (or vice versa) start.
