I’m really sorry, but Gak. All stirred up? The Heck?? No, no, I don’t think I want to know. Sheesh. Gender and orientation aside, what’s the fascination with playing with bodily fluids?

Whatever you do, don’t google “felching” 😃

That said, my tastes in porn are considerably kinkier than my tastes in real life sex, and I suspect that’s true of a lot of people.

Heh!

I like volume, myself (straight male) - the more there is, the more stretched-out my orgasm seems to feel. But I’m not into the visual aesthetic, though. Anything that can be recreated with copious amounts of egg white just doesn’t strike me as particularly appealing.

Damn skippy! It just seems like so much _work_ to tie all those knots, y’know?

Neatness. Fastidiousness. He likes them. They make him last longer.

_On his back, legs in the air_

Cite?

😃

**Onomatopoeia** - well clearly this is a case of mileage varying. I love cum in porn and people playing with it, including felching (but yeah, don’t google that unless you’ve taken some anti-nausea medication first).

This is one of several reasons I haven’t yet really consummated my love for men. I’m a little scared of all the mess. And when I did go home with a man once, I actually pulled away when he was about to get me off, because I was worried about all the mess. Jeez, talk about self-conscious. The poor guy!

Seconded 😃

Me too. I’m glad it wasn’t just a substandard 'dar on my part.

Aaack! It cuts out right before the verdict! (Kind of appropriate, isn’t it?)

BTW, how _ **you** _ doin’? 😉

Good grief. Usually people have to actually meet me before they think that!

Bah!

Have you ever considered that it might be _you_ who’s wrong?

Shut up! I’m still hoping he’s going to prove it to me.
