> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Margo \* > \*\*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 \*\* Ah, thank the gods. An ON TOPIC post. Welcome, **Margo**! I’m honored that you chose my thread for your first post, even if was sort of a default. 🙂 No, it doesn’t have to be a black and (off) white issue. I think your post pretty much proves that. So, for you, it’s a taste issue, as opposed to texture? Actually, as someone who does both, you’re the perfect person for me to ask this question. Some of the previous ladies have said they swallow quickly to minimize the taste. Does this not always work? My impression, from your post, is that it may not. But, it could be that, like another poster, you’re sometimes otherwise occupied, and can’t swallow, right away. BTW, excellent first post. Funny, interesting and on topic. 🙂 ---

On the advice of counsel, I am terminating discussion of facial cumshots, in this thread. There have been grumblings, elsewhere, about the extent of the TMI posts/threads, and I don’t want my thread closed due to close-but-not-quite-on-topic posts. So far, I don’t believe anyone has objected to this thread, and I’d like to keep it that way. Thank you for understanding. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Margo \* > \*\*Oh your kind welcome made me blush all different colors of the spectrum (not speculum…) \*\* Specula come in colors? (I’m guessing that specula would be the plural of speculum.) Do they offer a cammo finish, for the survivalist types? > [@](#): > > **I won’t gush (but wouldn’t you like to see that?)…** Maybe. I wouldn’t want to commit to anything, without knowing the details, but it’s an interesting offer. Are we talkin’ video, or live performance, here. 😉 ---

Davebear, Oh, um do we have to talk texture?? Ok, if it goes right down, no problem, because man that stuff can be like greased lightening…but if I have to roll it around for a moment like a fine wine (ack…) then I can’t say as I enjoy the texture as much. I do want the man to be happy though…so if I can oblige I will! Now…lets talk hair…or not…thanks for the nice welcome! This thread has made me laugh right out loud! Margo ---

You Davebear are funny, I cannot help but picture the cammo speculum…as for colors, my gyn has the lovely silver finish, white plastic and clear…I don’t even want to imagine what the plastic one looks like once it is inserted…sort of like hairy snail under glass, but I am only guessing. As for a performance of my gushing abilities…I am much to shy 😉 to do a live performance but let me see…where is my webcam…hmmm…its got to be here somewhere… Margo ---

Dirk…what would your wife say? Oh right, she would be ok with that…sorry, again with the hijack, will I be banned before I even have 15 posts? And was that pun intended??? “Hard” to find indeed…Margo:D ---

_tiptoes gingerly into the discussion_ MY Sweetie has swallowed once and promptly dashed off to get some water (I didn’t have anything ready because she never had swallowed before). She later said that it wasn’t too bad, but not all that great, either. Since then, she has pretty much spit. Well, OK, always. But every now and then she seems to be reconsidering. I suppose when the time is right, she will try again. She sure has plenty of chances; she absolutely LOVES to go down on me and will get tremendously excited doing so (and Lord knows, I’m NOT going to dissuade her!!!) Lots of bragging going on in here, so for me…I can almost always get her to cum going down on her; then she will cum (very hard!!!) while she’s going down on ME (and grinding herself against my leg); then again while she’s riding me. That’s three times a night, sometimes. Usually at least twice, and always at least once. Every night. She says she loves me…_smile_…and I love her…_S_ ---
