[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] If you have to imagine, obviously you’re not acquainted with [glory holes.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_hole_%28sexual%29) Few ladies are, I’m sure. But all men are familiar with them, at least as an observed phenomenon. [/QUOTE] Can’t say that I’ve ever seen one. ---

Didn’t anyone ask if when she was having her orgasm did she call out, “Ralph, Ralph, oh give it to me Ralph!” Or was it, “Rafe, Rafe, oh give it to me Rafe!” ---

[QUOTE=Fir na tine] None of the replies have addressed the mechanics of this. I can barely fit into the lav to stand and take a leak. For the life of me I can’t figure out any way to connect Tab A to Slot B or even to have Tab A licked, folded, spindled or otherwise handled by the owner of Slot B. Will someone please enlighten us on technique? 😕 [/QUOTE] Maybe they used the same lav that was featured in the first episode of _24_ Series 1. That thing (in which a photographer and a female “terrorist” have sex) was ginormous, like the Presidential Suite at the MGM Grand. Still, I’m sure with the appropriate motivation and a reasonable amount of flexibillity as to what goes where, one can figure it out, especially if one is motivated by the prospect of getting down with a celebrity. I mean, if Famke Janssen or Martina Gedeck came on to me on a flight, I’d find some way to make it work. Stranger ---

You can add me to the list of “Me, too”. I mean, gawd, it was [Ralph Fiennes](http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v713/Elenia25/Misc/?action=view¤t=RalfFiennes3.jpg)!!! As for hor, he could have sat on the toilet and her on his lap. Or if she was light enough - and I didn’t follow the link - he could have lifted her against the wall, or onto the sink. Neither of them could be large people but it could be done. ---

Apparently Ralph was on his way to a Safe Sex conference at the time…perhaps he just wanted to practice his presentation?

Ralph Fiennes. Blech. I wouldn’t to him in a Qantas loo. I wouldn’t do him in Timbuktu. I wouldn’t do #69. I wouldn’t do him any time. ---

I don’t know why, but I had Harvey Fierstein conflated with Ralph Fiennes and, well, the image was odd and puzzling. ---
