Wait a minute, what’s the description for silver? This is inaccurate considering how many colors they missed!

Hmmm …

I would have said blue, but red and green are nice too.

Maybe I’ll get out that plaid shirt when I get home, and go looking for a date …

Let’s see…I think I would be another BLUE checking in…Most of the description fits. 😉

Well, my favorite colors are red and orange (I’m an autumn-type person!) According to the site, I can be described as:

\*RED: People who like red tend to be tigers in the sack. They are easily aroused and  
enjoy sex in every way imaginable. Once the sexual spark is ignited, it may take  
hours to extinguish. When two reds get together, the ensuing erotica could make Lady  
Chatterly blush. Lovers of red tend to be aggressors and weaker colors should be aware.

ORANGE: Lovers of the color orange lean toward sexual fantasies. The sex act is regarded  
as a dramatic one-act play in which they are the star. Foreplay is as important as the act of  
love. They whisper sweet nothings, meaningless dialogue; they feel it is their image.  
Orange people often do not experience orgasm – but they put on a darn good act. Men tend  
to pull their partner’s hair, and women leave red welts on the sex partner’s back.\*

Hmm…I am easily aroused yet, I tend not to have orgasms? Well, that would certainly explain my perpetual crankiness!

And I was starting to believe the appropriateness of it all:

“DRY” – DRY spell  
“Blue” – blue balls  
☹

Look, even the damned sad smiley is blue!

Ever since I was a lad  
My favorite color has been plaid.  
A little green, a little blue,  
A little black can be good, too.  
Orange gets me through the day;  
A dash of brown helps smooth the way.  
Can’t speak for you, but in my home  
Sex don’t come in monochrome!

Well, that was a good for a laugh, anyway. 🙂 You men – get away from me, ya bastards! Oh, wait, that wasn’t very teasing, was it?

I’d ask as you guys to help me mature, but that would definitely be promising more than I intend to deliver.

_:: Memo to self: Throw out all those head-to-toe pink outfits. ::_

**GREEN:** Those who prefer green are fresh and innocent in their approach to sex. Women who love green will always make love like virgins all their life. And a man may always be a trifle clumsy and awkward but in a charming and endearing sort of way. Green lovers are gentle, but not passionate. If chosen as a mate, one will never need worry about infidelity.

**BLUE:** Lovers of blue are wonderful sex partners. They are sinners, affectionate and sensitive to their partner’s needs. They consider love making a fine art and their approach is elegant. Men who love blue are like concert pianists, delicately ravaging their partner like they would play a babygrand. Women in the blue category enjoy sex to the fullest. They are exciting partners but their passion may be compared to a tidal wave rather than fiery aggression. Both women and men enjoy foreplay and the aftermath of lovemaking, as much as the sex act itself. In marriage a blue person is a wonderful mate – never seeking outside interests.

So… despite my resemblance to Captain Kangaroo, any takers?

BLACK: Black color preferences point to black sex (not necessarily meaning black partners). These people are the misfits of the sex world and seek out each other in kinship. They tend to prefer perverted sex and are usually masochistic or sadistic in nature. They are moody people and often perform at their peak when under stress or during unhappy times. Police psychiatrists claim that sex offenders prefer the color black. And it is no coincidence that the uniform of mobsters and teenage gangs is black attire.

BLUE: Lovers of blue are wonderful sex partners. They are sinners, affectionate and sensitive to their partner’s needs. They consider love making a fine art and their approach is elegant. Men who love blue are like concert pianists, delicately ravaging their partner like they would play a babygrand. Women in the blue category enjoy sex to the fullest. They are exciting partners but their passion may be compared to a tidal wave rather than fiery aggression. Both women and men enjoy foreplay and the aftermath of lovemaking, as much as the sex act itself. In marriage a blue person is a wonderful mate – never seeking outside interests.

Well, that’s odd. My two favorite colors say completely different things about me. I guess I’m somewhere in between. Yet another thing about me that makes no sense.

Well I would say my faborite color is blue, I love blue but I wear black on a daily basis, I must always wear something black, it’s just a little thing I have. Ummm, well the description kinda fits, ::frantically stuffs handcuffs and all things leather into her closet and slams the door shut:: it isn’t all that accurate though, but I can be rather moody.

Blue. Though I have been leaning toward green lately.

And blue does describe me quite well. I love sex as an art form. Elegant, beautiful, perfect in all its shades and colors and… I’ll stop now…Too bad I can’t draw.

Perhaps a diagram or two . . . or some representative art? Please? Some of us aren’t getting any and you egging us on (no pun intended) isn’t helping!

I should send that to my ex-wife, just so she knows dumping me was a mistake…

Hey Purplebear, remember that the color purple is a combination of _ **RED** _ and\*\*\* BLUE\*\*\*, now it will most likely match the way you are. And if any of it is true… ;)🙂
