What’s to be embarrassed about? Sheesh. 😉 People can’t talk about anything these days without getting a bit red in the face. I was to understand that guessing was permissible, and that a correct guess would be confirmed. I really didn’t mean to upset anybody. Maybe I should buy you both a DVD to make up for it. Now what was that subgenre you’re so fond of? 😉 ---

We’re not upset. But I’ve been told in firm terms not to give up the genre. So bug _him_. ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > Well, now \*\*CandidGamera \*\* you’ve shocked and embarased both of us. How does that make you feel? 😉 I’m not embarassed – I admitted to worse in my first post – so much as I am surprised at being guessed so readily. I assumed my participation in the thread would put me lower on the list of suspects than it did. ---

I assumed my participation in the thread would put me lower on the list of suspects than it did. Sometimes I just have an intuition about these things. I’ve been known to answer complex series of trivia questions about subjects I should know nothing about, too. Glad I didn’t upset either of you too badly. ---

> [@archmichael](#): > > [disappointed]It’s not just guy/guy porn is it?[/disappointed] > > Damn, girl. You sure chime in on a lot of sex threads. It’s not guy on guy, for sure. And as for the second, I’m not sure how to take that, but I can answer it. I almost never discuss sex in real life with anyone except with the person I’m having it with. So I need an outlet, I guess. Which other threads have you seen me in? I didn’t realize I was making a habit out of it! ---

And flying under the radar? > [@CandidGamera](#): > > Sometimes I just have an intuition about these things. I’ve been known to answer complex series of trivia questions about subjects I should know nothing about, too. Glad I didn’t upset either of you too badly. **Anastasaeon** guessed too so it was more than just something you picked up on. No harm, no foul though… admitting I got porn from my aunt is a bit more personal than getting it from a friend and I admitted that freely. ---

Hi, Pot. Yeah, this is Kettle. You’re black, just thought you should know. **Anaamika** , you’ve been pretty talkative lately. I’m getting an interesting, if skewed, picture of you. I also imagine you looking exactly like Aishwarya Rai, but then we’d be getting into my fetish. 😃 ---

Mine is more curly, though. She’s far prettier, though. ---

> [@Aesiron](#): > > Again, I have no idea if I should be honored or offended. And flying under the radar? At first only **Gabe** was getting all the heat, but I had guessed, too. So I just thought I’d pile on **Gabe** while nobody had seemed to notice 😉 **Archmichael** , was the pot/kettle comment directed at me? Because I meant not to offend you in any way (hence the wink - and someone had to stick up for **Anaamika** , who was getting pretty red there, for a while!). I don’t deny reading all sex threads, I thought I was always pretty open about how I’m pretty much a (monogamous) nympho. I read 'em all. Never implied otherwise. 😃 ---
