> [@CanvasShoes](#): > > Your comment was _ **'I’d imagine that a female would approach the task as one polishing a hubcap. Calling the job done is more of a judgment call. "** _ > > The two ideas don’t jibe. The first part “approach the job as on polishing a hubcap”. How exactly DOES one approach the job of polishing a hubcap that is similar to a woman masturbating? And what does polishing a hubcap have to do with knowing a job is done or not? That is what people are trying to figure out. And secondly, what makes it funny? Are you trying to say that the girlie bits ARE the hubcap? That makes less sense, Okay, I’m old, but I can’t be alone in never having heard that particular _ahem_ nickname for the female anatomy. > > Sorry, I’m not being snarky here, I really am just trying to figure out what you were trying to say. Is everyone as confused about the part in the OP where I likened a man masturbating to someone hammering a nail? Well, you should be! > [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Yeah. Maybe it’s because I’ve never polished hubcaps, so I don’t know what it means. The “how do you know when you’re done” question sort of made sense in conjunction to the hubcap but now that I know that’s not what you mean, I’m even more confused. I’ve never literally polished a hubcap either, but I do own several. It’s my impression that female orgasms respond better to prolonging stimulation past the minimum it would take to achieve one. The judgment call is deciding when it’s time to stop building up and bring it all home. For me, there’s no judgment beyond ‘have I reached the required minimum?’ I’d like to know now who continues past the minimum required stimulation. ---

Whadda buncha GEEKS. Only here could we take a topic as sensitive, erotic, and neato as this and turn it into a Star Trek Safe Combination thread. Hot tub jets are good. As are properly applied ‘back massagers’. Some are quick for stress release or to help get to sleep when my brain won’t stop spinning…others take quite a bit of work. Some are little ones, some so hard it hurts. Enough with the friggin HUBCAPS already! 😃 ---

Well, for me, there’s a diminishing return after a certain point and it’s not worth deliberately going beyond that because all subsequent orgasms are just little blips. Plus, you start to chafe. ---

If you mean the thread you started last December about wet dreams, the two threads have all but zero in common. According to the mod note it looked like you were asking for medical advice. ---
