I only had to check thrice to realize they weren't there. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I agree with your first sentence, but definitely not the second. Until I post a real picture of myself in the thread that spawned this one, I have no room to complain at all (actually, even then I wouldn't, but no, Lisamarie, that wasn't really me in the picture I posted there ). Furthermore, individual comfort zones are personal and do not determine how much or whether or not I respect someone. That's definitely not to say that I don't appreciate pictures posted in this thread, or that I don't think positive things about the women who've posted them, but I certainly don't think less of those who haven't.

I got a little disoriented looking at that, but in a really good way. Bless you Rosa. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I haven't had enough good ones to know what I like. Me trying to instruct someone in how to give a blowjob would be the ultimate case of the blind leading the blind. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Absolutely. Most are just so-so. Pleasant enough foreplay, but definitely not good enough to, uh, finalize the transaction. Occasionally though, there have been flat out terrible sensations, as in "Hey! HEY!!! HEEYYY!!! OK honey, you gotta stop!!!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Oh, you're talking about clothes. I thought this was going to be about big unkempt bush. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Au contraire! That he slipped you tongue makes it even funnier. Sounds like a "play tough and make the other guy chicken out" malfunction. Like any other incident, you should have broken the chain of events long before it resulted in disaster. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Hah hah! Now that's funny! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You're a pansy-ass for not coming out to the bonfire at Evelyn's last night. It got *really* drunk out. Her and I were the only jumpers there (well, and George, though I don't know if he really qualifies as a "jumper"). On second thought, if I'd had people I knew there, I'd have probably gotten even stupider with that wild horse and then ended up hurting from something worse than just a bad hangover today. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Ditto. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Whew! I'm anxiously awaiting my private message (or e-mail). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Three. I did one tandem (that I paid for instead of getting paid!), one freefly, and one 8-way. I could have jumped yesterday, but I went to the office and did work (for free!) instead. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Well you've come to the right place thread. Please correct that oversight immediately. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If the Republicans for some insane reason decide to run a McCain/Powell ticket for the next election, they'll probably get my vote (though this seems incredibly unlikely). If they don't, I'll probably vote Libertarian...UNLESS the Democrats put Hillary on their ticket, in which I'll vote for her just in hopes of hearing 50% of the assholes in America slam shut simultaneously.

It's partners, unspecific as to gender or species. No, I swear it works just fine! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

There are a couple damned ugly girls there! Please post pictures of the hot ones pillow-fighting in lingerie. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

And I flipped a quarter to see who'd be on top. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If you were sharing a woman with another guy, she only counts as a half. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Since we've got two threads going about how much experience we want from an SO, I thought we could do another poll about how well we hold ourselves to the same standard. I know, number of partners isn't the be-all-end-all of experience. Quality versus quantity is a factor, and it's possible for someone to have fairly diverse experience even with only a few partners. Still, I think it's an indicator, so just vote. Oh, and do try to be honest. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Changing the "him/he"s to "her/she"s would make this an answer I could give in the other thread. OK, I'd have to delete the OB/Gyn part too. I don't envy you having to look at all the things that can go wrong. Then again I imagine your job gives you a perspective on those kinds of things that is quite a bit more realistic than most. I hadn't really thought of STDs when I was writing my answer in the other thread, but the two things do kind of go hand in hand. Given how common some of those things are (I've read that genital herpes affects 25% of women in the US, and HPV well over half), a fair amount of experience almost guarantees a person has been exposed to them, even if they haven't contracted them. I guess that does make the "pure" options a bit more attractive. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I really wish you weren't done. I don't see how "entitlement and control" underly the question, and I'm honestly curious as to why this thread has raised your blood pressure. I could see if there were replies of the sort Krisanne mention, men who state they want women who are pure as the driven snow while personally striving to be as morally corrupt as they possibly can, but I'm not seeing those responses. What are you seeing that's getting your goat? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

My ego tells me that I want whatever woman I'm with to think that I'm the best lover she's ever had. The more lovers she's had, the worse the odds are that I'll be her best ever. Similarly, I want whatever woman I'm with to be the best lover I've ever had. The fewer lovers she's had, the worse the odds are that she'll be my best ever. Theoretically, a motivated virgin could have some natural talents and a really open mind and eventually fit the bill, but this seems INCREDIBLY unlikely. I can't really teach her how to give me the best blowjob ever because I don't know myself. Similarly, a gal who's been around the blocks a few hundred times might have only been with sub-par men, and thus my average self with average talents could seem incredibly good, but this again seems pretty damned unlikely. Somewhere in between these two concepts is a nice compromise. A woman who has an open mind, some established skills, and a desire to make me feel as good as she possibly can...AND she just happens to prefer the way I do things over other techniques and is willing to tell me what I can do differently to make it even better for her.

Sportfuck? You know, recreational sex without significant emotional investment. A woman I was seeing once introduced me to some of her co-workers. A short time later one of them mistakenly referred to me as her boyfriend. She was all over that, responding, "Hey, I don't do 'boyfriends'. He and I are sportfucking" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I haven't seen much sexism in this thread, but I'm going to throw some out right here. Men generally say what we actually mean. Women, on the other hand, often say one thing but mean something different. Problems arise when women attribute this same tendency to men. You don't have to sit there and wonder what devious underlying concept Walt was trying to allude to by asking "Guys, how much prior sexual experience do you want your SO to have?" He's a guy. The question was simply a question, without any of the alleged judgement as far as I can see. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Why is it unreasonable for a man OR woman to have one standard for a sportfuck and a different standard for a relationship? A woman who has largely defined herself by her sexuality, and who has a history of infidelity as a side-effect of that, might make a fantastic lover, but I wouldn't be all that interested in trusting her. Fling - who gives a shit, Long term relationship - not so much. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
