_shakey shakey shakey_ whaaa?

Forgive my naivete, but if I gather this means you are giving oral pleasure to a strap-on? Who is getting pleasure out of this? Again, I’m young. I don’t know these things.

You think girls and gay/bi men don’t enjoy giving oral sex? I’m sure it’s not the same with a dildo, but it’s just the pure kinkiness of it.

Note that I’ve never given head to a dildo, I just don’t find it confusing.

That’s okay, when I was 20 I was in your situation too. I didn’t lose my virginity until 24 (last summer). My advice is to be assertive, don’t beat yourself up over rejection, and to take things as they are.

Oh, and for TMI:

I used to be able to give myself a blowjob. Apparently only 1 in 100 guys can do this. So I guess that makes me in the 99th percentile in _something_ 😛

Cant do it anymore, lost the flexibility to reach that far.

You’ve proberly tried it already then, but I used to have a very bad case of dandruff for years, I finally tried Head & Shoulders with menthol - it cleared it away in about a week.

I don’t wear panties. At all.

Err… I’ve always had this fantasy about topping a guy with a strap-on. I’ve yet to meet a man who’s into that, but then, it’s not like it comes into the conversation very often. I’ve only ever told one friend about this.

I had this dream a few weeks back that I was in a lesbian relationship with this girl who wore pig-tails. We were madly in love. Then someone told her I was cheating on her (I wasn’t!) and she broke up with me. I woke up genuinely distraught.

Oh, and I’m another 20-year-old virgin.

Thunk.

That was me falling off my chair. That is AWESOMELY AMAZINGLY HOT. I’m glad you can’t do it any more so I can say that without it being weird.

Thanks. Someone on this board told me about the Nizoral secret so I’m trying that. Day one: noticably fewer flakes! I tried two different Head and Shoulders with no results. Also it makes me smell like my dad. But thanks for thinking of my pight.

Yo, **pokey** , don’t bother with anti-dandruff shampoo – it just perpetuates the problem.

Massage your scalp with white vinegar, and then rinse it out. (Sometime when you’re in/alone for the evening – there are worse things to smell like than your dad. :D)

It’ll fix the PH problem that’s causing your skin to flake, instead of just causing it to flake all at once like H&S does.

Oh, and I used to be able to get the end of my knob in my mouth when I was a teenager, too. I’m pretty sure if I tried now I’d be found dead in the morning.

And just to add, I often have dreams I am masturbating 😕 I don’t know why I would dream I am jerking off; it would be like having a dream you are going jogging or something mundane. But not only that, I’ve had dreams I’ve blown myself. In my dream I’m incredibly limber of course, and the sensation is really awesome.

Unfortunately when I was actually able to pull that off in real, it was so long ago I can’t remember how great it felt…certainly felt good enough to attempt it a second time! :eek:

Sorry, forgot about this thread! And, yep, what **Cisco** said. Just the kinkiness of it.

Thanks for taking up my slack, as it were, **Cisco**. 😛

I just sneezed a few minutes ago. Snot flew out of my nose and hit the computer screen, and then sorta drooled out my nose for a couple seconds before I was able to get a tissue.

Earlier, I was digging around in my ear and removed a clump of earwax that was about the size of a small tack.

I told myself that I was not going to post in this thread. So what am I doing…

I am a rather hairy bastard, which in general I don’t mind other then the fact I have hair **on** my dick. Not all the way up, that would be truly nasty, but maybe the first inch and a half. That’s not the worst part. In the last month I’ve somehow managed to get 3 in grown dick hairs. Nothing like a pimple on your dick to make the ladies want you :rolleyes:

First inch-and-a-half, or last? Which end is “first”? 🙂

Now I’m picturing a pecker with a 'fro.

FWIW, so do I. I have no idea whether this is normal or not. Grooming, my son, grooming. Stubble is so…yuck.

I’ve had dreams I could lick myself like a cat. It’s funny because your dream self is thinking, “why don’t I do this more often?” It’s a very weird feeling.

Now I am hoping this plants a suggestion in my subconscious that I have a dream tonight about being a guy and being able to suck my own dick. The only thing I’m scared of is that the inch I can get in my mouth will have hair on it. ;j

Just kidding. Except about wishing I had a dick and being able to suck it (ha ha TMI!)

Base end, though the thought of a dick with a 'fro has be giggling like an idiot.

My lady is happy with me just trimming them. I tried shaving them off once but it’s itched so bad the next day that I will never do that again

It’s an every-other-day thing for me. I don’t find that the ones on the shaft itch…but the ones on the balls-and-taint area…well, that’s another story. Day 3 post-shave has me clawing my crotch like a psychotic baboon. It’s a real drawback when you’re in line at the grocery store…

That’s _extremely_ common - the hair, that is, not the ingrowns. One can remove it for added apparent size, if one likes. The ingrown hair thing is odd - personally, while I haven’t got a dick, the only hairs of mine that get ingrown are the ones that I’ve been removing - plucking or shaving, and they get ingrown when they come back. Light exfoliation every now and then keeps them from ingrowing, FYI.
