I am seriously cracking up from the mental image of this. 😃

Man, I would never stop giving head if it tasted like chocolate!

There’s nothing wrong with it. I’ve actually had mine, and haven’t had anyone else’s. Like **KneadToKnow** , I wouldn’t ask someone else to do something I wouldn’t do myself.

Um, for the record, I’ve never heard of Ron White. The post was mine and wholly original. If it’s similar to something Ron White wrote, it’s a coincidence.

If you haven’t had anyone else’s, it’s time for you to get busy! 🆒

I’ve went down on women who had a less than stellar reputation for one guy at a time in a relationship. My tongue hasn’t fallen off yet so everything is good.

A short time after finishing college I had a GF, and she was the first one I ever discussed marriage with. We considered ourselves “unofficially engaged.”

She had this delightful peculiarity as well. I never remarked about it. She never seemed self-conscious about it. This may have been partly because no man had ever been treated to the sight before. Not that it was anything to be ashamed of. It was unusual, but I soon became used to it.

Just reading about your post brings back bitter-sweet memories. Sniff. ☹

Just out of curiosity, why? Was shaving getting to be a pain? And is it everything below the belly button? I imagine having, er, anal hair lazed isn’t a barrel of laughs.

**Autolycus** - never use the phrase “bite the bullet” immediately after discussing your balls.

**Agent Foxtrot** - you could have celiac’s disease. make sure to have them test for that. However, I find it funny that Foxtrot gets the trots . . .

As for my TMI - you’ll have to wait until i remember how to do the spoiler boxes.

I’ll ask about it! Thanks!

ETA: A quick search of WebMD reveals this:

[QUOTE=WebMD]  
Symptoms of celiac disease can include gas, bloating, weight loss, fatigue, weakness, and vomiting. Stools may be bulky, loose, and more frequent. The damage to the intestine also makes it hard for your body to absorb vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. This can lead to anemia or osteoporosis or both.  
[/QUOTE]  
I don’t really have any of those symptoms.

Use (spoiler)_text_(/spoiler) (brackets instead of parentheses)

For some reason I feel the need to emphasize that there is much more to my memories of the relationship than her features or the (relatively limited) intimacies that we shared once we became serious. But that would take a whole new post.

I’m not sure why I have felt this need. I was clearly not speaking of any cheap fooling around (from the context). Maybe it’s my upbringing.
