To those who have had there ways with the opposite sex, what does it feel like to have sex? Both sexes can comment on how it feels, but I’m more interested in what it feels like for a Man. And, please don’t say it feels like ‘warm American pie’ 😉 ---

Are you serious? Okay, well . . . A long warm moist caress that feels good and keeps getting better and better and better until . . . an explosion of intense pleasure that starts in your genitals and spreads in tingley waves through your entire body.

When done properly, it feels like that thing that was always missing from your life before; it feels like a hug from God (or insert deity of your choice). When done improperly, it doesn’t feel quite so transcendent as all that, but it’s still better than a poke in the eye with a used hypodermic needle. Usually. ---

Odd story… When he was young, a friend of mine asked his mother what sex felt like. She told him it felt like a sneeze. His whole life, every time he orgasms, he sneezes. To actually answer your question, think about the best movie you have ever seen. Now, imagine someone asks you, “What was that movie like?” You can describe the plot, the characters, the special effects until you’re blue in the face. You can imitate the sound effects, hum the sound track, and demonstrate the fight coreography. And you’ll never be able to give a description that comes anywhere close to the actual film itself. Eventually, you’ll find out. Meantime, why ask for spoilers? ---

Purchase cantaloupe. Take it home. Drill hole of appropriate girth and depth in cantaloupe. Carefully smooth rind at edges of hole so as to avoid abrasion. Place cantaloupe in microwave. Heat until melon flesh approaches body temperature. Remove cantaloupe from microwave. Have fun. (Note: I am a woman. A male friend described this method to me. He claimed to enjoy the practice, saying it produced a more true-to-life sex simulation than did traditional masturbation. Your milage may vary.) ---

Why not ask for spoilers? Because, as I tried to make clear earlier, there is no way to describe the experience accurately. So, anything anyone tells you about it will be wrong. ---
