> [@Bumbershoot](#): > > I thought of a “better” one- I’ve performed oral sex on a prostitute. I’ve got a better one - I’ve _been_ a prostitute that someone has performed oral sex on (I performed it on him as well, of course). I quite like having sex without condoms - sometimes I wonder if it’s an addictive behaviour. I was going to say I masturbate a lot but thinking about it I don’t think I do, once a day on average isn’t a lot really is it? ---

I think we all _prefer_ it that way, but that doesn’t mean you should do it. I’m talking about doing it with random people, not with a regular partner (and yes I know that’s a bad activity to be partaking in). ---

For guys I feel safe to say that condoms suck. Actually it may be the number one reason for marriage. If any man says they like condoms, and you believe them, they are good liars or you are really gullible. I will take the chance of an STD verses having to wearing a condom. I hear that Science has made great strides in anti- bacteria medicine.😛 ---

I tend to take **gravitycrash** ’s view regarding hetero sex, but with men I just can’t take that chance, what with AIDS still looming large. YMMV. ---

I have to think of something suitably TMI about myself. Meanwhile, I’m amazed a the very TMI and very personal things that all of you are willing to share. Yet, when I asked you to post nude photos that was somehow too much. ---

> [@Agent\_Foxtrot](#): > > 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. Luckily, as far as body hair goes, the Swedish part of my ancestry takes over so it’s blonde and somewhat light. Still, I’ve been shaving the lil lady (no landing strip, etc) since I was seventeen. If you let anything start growing back, the itching is unbearable! Since I like it completely smooth, I figured why not just be done with it? It feels much cleaner and nicer to me. I’m not a lady who has a trail of hair below the belly button, so it’s just pubic hair. Um, I’m not sure about the ladies you’ve been with but my butt doesn’t really have hair so no need for that. Just a personal preference for myself. A choice every girl makes 😉 ---

On the occasions I pick my nose, I feed it to the dog. I bite my toenails. I floss with my fingernails (which work way better than floss for me I might add.) I share my food with dogs and have taught them to eat from a spoon and fork to save myself the trouble of dirty fingers. I am capable of performing autofellatio. ---

Yet, when I asked you to post nude photos that was somehow too much. Most of the people I know IRL already know everything I’ve posted in this thread. Less than half of them have seen me naked. I will barely allow nude photos of me to be taken IRL. They’re much more likely to come back to haunt you than a story of a sexcapade, IMHO. ---

> [@KneadToKnow](#): > > My orgasm reflex doesn’t wake up until about an hour after I do. Me, too. I’ve had sleep over friends who have tried the ‘alarm clock’ move on me (waking up with a BJ), since I often wake up at MorningWood Academy, but it just won’t work for me until I’ve had a BM, a bottle of water and maybe a few sodas and smokes. Then we’re back in business. Just sayin’ (in case I get visitors). 🆒 ---

My cock is long when erect. It’s so long that after experimentation in my teens, I found out that I could suck it myself quite easily. ---

I pleasure myself a lot. A whole lot. The weird thing is, it’s like a sine-wave… For a few weeks I’ll be doing it 2-3 times a day (like now), then it eases off until I’m down to once every 2-3 days, then it moves up again. Very odd. Also, at times like this, just discussing even vaugely sexual things can make it Bonertime in Tristanville. Can be awkward, when my boss is telling me his younger days exploits. ---

This is comparatively lame-o, but when I was under the gas having my deviated septum fixed, the doctor had occasion to stick a rattail file up my nose and \*shkk shkk \*down some protruding bony points inside. After which I had, like, _collar stays_ stitched down inside my nostrils for about 4 days. And said nose was all wrapped up in tape, and I couldn’t blow it or pick it or nothing although it dripped like a motherfuck. ---

At the end of this post, I’m not sure whether you come out more or less attractive than you were before. > [@Hazle Weatherfield](#): > > Seriously…I think he was just kidding. Also potentially looming large…a little something known as a baby My female sex partners are going to either be (a) close enough that I can trust they’re telling the truth about their birth control, or (b) just anonymous enough that, if they lie about it, it’s going to be their problem. I know that sounds horrible, but if she wants me to share in the risk, she could tell the truth to begin with and I’ll wear a condom. > [@Tristan](#): > > The weird thing is, it’s like a sine-wave… For a few weeks I’ll be doing it 2-3 times a day (like now), then it eases off until I’m down to once every 2-3 days, then it moves up again. Very odd. Same for me, except that the low end is 1-3 times a day, and the high end is somewhere around 5. Interestingly, I can have sex many more times a day than I can masturbate. ---

> [@Acid\_Lamp](#): > > On the occasions I pick my nose, I feed it to the dog. This. I just got finished picking myself off the floor from laughing so hard I doubled over. I don’t got much to add that hasn’t already been said or the statute of limitations hasn’t run out on, but as a follow-up to your post: I actually attempted Yoga For Men (as it were) myself when I was fifteen. I got my mouth as far as the helmet, and promptly threw my back out. Good thing my family has a history of back problems, so I knew the general idea of how to get my back straightened out by myself. _That_ would’ve otherwise been a very uncomfortable conversation to have with a chiropractor (not to mention my parents).
