OK, that’s a goofy-looking chair. Why not get yourselves some of those cushion things? At least they don’t look as silly. ---

No kidding, that contraption looks like it could be beneficial to people with (at least) partial paralysis and have difficulties with certain positions. ---

Wow. I’m an idiot. I just now realized that it’s the Do-Me chair, and not the Dome chair. This after reading the thread once before and coming back to it a second time. :smack: ---

> [@Wile E](#): > > I don’t see that any of the positions shown are any better suited to the chair than a bed. But, but it has a _ROLL BAR!_ How can it not be better with a roll bar? Crap, now I have “Dead Man’s Curve” stuck in my head. \*I know I’ll never forget that horrible sight, I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right. Won’t come back from Dead Man’s Curve\* ---

Am I the only one who’s never heard cunnilingus described as the “Dinosaur” position? I’m guessing the DoMe people didn’t get that one out of any ancient Indian sex manuals. ---

I can think of lots of ways it would be better than a bed. If I could just think of some other use for it I could have my kid make me one in shop class. ---

But then we’d have to start inventing things for when the kids came home from college. “Um, it has lots of places to hang my pants on overnight…” LOL, if you won the lottery you could have a home built with a nice playroom in the basement, or off the master suite that the kid wouldnt go into=) Hell, depending on the kids age, why make anything up? I knew my parents had sex at a fairly young age from walking in on them. Unless theyare under some freaky vow, all married couples can be assumed to have sex at some point in time if they have non-adopted kids… ---

I knew my parents had sex at a fairly young age from walking in on them. Unless theyare under some freaky vow, all married couples can be assumed to have sex at some point in time if they have non-adopted kids… It’s not the sex - it is the sex in the very interesting looking chair. (I did say come home from college - alas they are not child prodigies. 🙂 ) And the older one is at the icky for us, not for her stage. ---
