The only problem is that in many people self-confidence easily shifts into over-confidence, and they end up seeming like egotistical assholes. And its the people you come into contact with, and not you, who make the call about when the line is crossed. ---

I was embellishing when I say “everyone”. Mostly a couple of family members, and some close friends. (None of which are as good looking as me…Cause, or coincidence?) ---

First off, **Indygrrl** , you are the proud recipient of my Doper lust-crush. Hail Bob, but you are smokin’ hot. Your pics make me miss my local gothy-industrial club. Dang it. On the OP, well, my girl swallows. Most of the women I have been with, actually, have swallowed. My ex-wife wouldn’t. As long as the lady in question are willing to finish, on occasion, regardless of spit or swallow, I’m a happy camper. On the subject of a facial… well, for me it’s sort of a power thing. I know it’s horrible, but to me it’s kind of an ego thing. My ex used to call it ‘marking my property’, especially since it was something I was usually really interested in doing after I knew she had been with someone else. To each their own, I suppose. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tristan \* > \*\*On the subject of a facial… well, for me it’s sort of a power thing. I know it’s horrible, but to me it’s kind of an ego thing. \*\* Really? This is what all women I’ve spoken to about this think, but for me it’s not at all about power. I understand that it can be and I do get sort of a powertrip out of doing it as part of a dominance game, but the big attraction for me is just that she’s prepared to do that for me. To set herself aside for my pleasure, so to speak. Just kills me. ---

So in essence, she’s subsuming herself to please you, in othe words putting herself under your power? Hmmmm… 😃 \*\*note, I’m not trying to be a smartass, just making a point. I think. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tristan \* > **So in essence, she’s subsuming herself to please you, in othe words putting herself under your power?** I can see why you would say that, but it’s not really about that. Lessee, how to explain this… Have you seen the _Friends_ episode where Monica catches Chandler masturbating while watching a “When sharks attack” show (he was actually watching lesbian porn, but switched channels when she entered the room)? Later, she rents a shark-attack film to let him watch it while they’re making out, even though she finds the concept weirdamundo. That’s what it’s about. She chooses to indulge my fantasies. While, as I’ve said, power can certainly have something to do with it, I prefer when she does it all herself, making me come on her face, rather than me doing it to her, which is more of a powertrip. ---

Um…I was going to let my first post be to the “cover your nutsacks men” thread but I was laughing to hard to type coherently (scrotumey goodness, chicken skin underwear…). So is the issue of swallowing black and white? Because for me it all depends on what the guy has been eating (hmmm…), for instance if he has had garlic or curry then that spooj (never had to spell that before, is it right?) could take the enamel right off of my teeth (which I would like to avoid due to the expensive dental work…), so I discreetly excuse myself and quietly spit it out, I really try not to sound like I am forcibly extracting one of my lungs through my oral cavity…but if he has had a mild diet the stuff doesn’t taste _that_ bad. So for me it depends, I am in the grey area…Margo ---
