Ok Davebear…here is the joke: A lady has a baby boy and notices right away that his eye is sort of just hanging there, not in the socket. The dr says "oh, not to worry, when we circumsize him we can just use the extra foreskin to fix that eye…but then of course you realize he will be (drumroll please) COCKEYED… Snort, Margo ---

Thanks for the drink and the welcome Davebear. An act worthy of revenge? Yes, the first time it was. Now, I’m a little more open-minded. To clarify on the foreskin thing (I didn’t want to have to do this) I stop before the crucial moment and switch to manual stimulation, which terminates in a squeeze at the end. No spitting, no swallowing, and no cleaning up the sheets. I’ve considered learning to swallow, but only if he agrees to go on a diet of exclusively pineapple juice. ---

since i was invited back by Davebear… and since you asked about the frenulum thing… what i was referring to involves kind of doubling my tongue back on itself while he’s pretty far in my mouth and using the rougher underside of the tongue tip to play with it. well, you did ask. (pity i’m neither red-haired nor green eyed, and very taken) ---

Thanks for the clarification. Sounds…odd. Wouldn’t the pineapple juice, if consumed in mass quantities, make him taste awfully bitter? What’s your take on the condom idea? Would you consider that a reasonable solution, given your aversion to the taste? ---

I wouldn’t use a condom. It may make things easier for me at the end, but it probably wouldn’t be as pleasurable for _him_. In addition, the feel of latex in your mouth is kind of…strange. ---

I happen to really like that combination, and it IS irish, generally. But, it isn’t a requirement; just a fantasy. 😉 And, yeah, I assumed you were taken. The good ones always are. At least you had the kindness to phrase it nicely. ---
