Y'know, no one has any privacy anymore. But I'm pretty sure there was only a very short period in our history when anyone did, i.e., before computers but after everyone stopped living in the town of their birth for their entire lives. Back in the day--in small communities, and even NYC and the like had small communities within the larger community--everyone knew everyone else's business. Now, you still find this in tiny towns, but not in towns that are becoming bedroom communities for larger cities within about a fifty mile radius. We have this idea that somehow no one can know or should know our personal business, but it has really never been that way. Not all that long ago, the local business owner with whom you applied for a job knew if you were an upright citizen or a deadbeat. When we got mobile, we also got the idea that we could outrun our history, but the fact of the matter is that people want to know who they're dealing with, so they invented other ways to find out. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Instead of hoping you're going to troll a PM from that one special person, why don't you just take the initiative. Compose a PM that says, "I think you're really cool" and then click "send." Your chances of getting the PM you're looking for aren't as good doing it this way, unless the idea has something to do with "omens from God." rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Too late. So many people looked at the link I posted, the site went down. The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later. Although, if you google for it, you can looked at the cached page. And while you're at it, you can google for the credentials of Beverly Whipple, who says, Since most women are lying on their backs during sex and the amount of fluid is so small [about a teaspoon], it sometimes doesn't come out. Another perspective on this is on the site that all of you overwhelmed: ...but the chances are, the women seen ejaculating in adult movies are most likely urinating, not ejaculating. They are intentionally squirting urine to simulate orgasm and true female ejaculation. The proof of this is the shear [sic] volume they expel. True ejaculation is almost impossible to capture on film, it is over in a blink of an eye. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

All you need to do is add a couple extra tablespoons of liquid to balance the moisture content of the product. Do you have mayonnaise? You can substitute 1/8 cup mayo for the eggs.

Eh? Sure it does. It makes many references to urine. What link are you looking at? Is a woman urinating or ejaculating? This is a question that cannot be answer outside a medical lab. There is no accurate way of determining whether a woman is voluntarily squirting urine, experiencing incontinence, or ejaculating at the moment of orgasm. These fluids all exit the body through the urethra so the visible source is the same for them all. I'm not aware of any color, taste, or scent test that can be applied to the expelled liquid that will accurately distinguish them from one another. We are left with no other choice than to see them as indistinguishable, the same. [...] If you read the information presented on the website of Dr. Gary Schubach, he states his research has shown the majority of the fluid that is expelled originates in the bladder, but this expelled fluid is not quite normal urine. [...] Women who expel fluid during orgasm report the color, smell, consistency, and even taste, varies from one occurrence to the next. (It is safe for a person to taste their own ejaculate, and for couples who already exchange body fluids, but not for couples needing to practice safe sex.) Some have found their menstrual cycle influences the type of fluid expelled. What you eat is likely to have an effect on it, as will how much liquid you have consumed. There are women who report that it is sometimes clear and odorless, other times thick and pungent. Others report that it sometimes looks and smells like urine. It is safe to say, most women's ejaculate will vary with time, even during a single sexual episode.

It's a webpage, all right. But unlike the link I posted, I have no idea who created it, or the source(s) of the information from which it was derived. I know there's stuff all over the Internet about women who squirt. That's cool. It doesn't make what's written factual. It's a given that women produce other fluids during sex, but there is very little good research or evidence that suggests that the product of female ejaculation is not mostly urine. But if it makes you guys happy, it's all good. Edited to add: When I have an orgasm, I produce a fair amount of vaginal fluid--at times, it could be called a gush--concurrent with orgasmic contractions. The fluid doesn't come from my urethra, but from inside my vagina, and it is consistent with normal vaginal fluid. Most, if not all, normal healthy women experience this. I would consider fluid from my urethra to be a sad accident. I can't believe that I'm writing this, but I can't believe some of the things that people do that they call sex either. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Simply untrue. As per both Dr. Ruth and Her much cooler Canadian counterpart, Sue JoHanson. Dr. Ruth, with her degree in education and Sue JoHanson, the registered nurse, are sex personalities, not sex researchers. If you want to take their word as gospel, that's fine. Urine is sterile, it can't hurt you. I think Gandhi drank his. No big deal. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

If it isn't mostly urine, it is at least partly urine. I just want to distinguish something here. http://www.jackinworld.com/library/science/physorg.html Orgasm in women involves rhythmic contractions of the uterus and the muscles that surround the vagina. Women normally experience 3 to 10 very strong contractions that occur at 0.8-second intervals. These initial contractions may be followed by 3 to 6 slower and weaker contractions. Some women also release a small gush of fluid. As far as I know, that small gush of fluid has nothing to do with what all the porn pages are referring to as "squirting" orgasms. The former originates in the vagina, the latter in the bladder. And most of the argument against "squirting" orgasms is that upon examination, a large measure of the fluid is found to be urine. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Please don't give this any more credence than it has already gained in urban folklore. It may be true of a lot of women, but it isn't true of all. If the goal is merely orgasm, then tongue is going to get you there a lot faster, but for some of us, the act of penetration is number one on the list--with or without orgasm.

We're talking about two different things. The above is post-modern angst, although there's a different kind of truth in it. My original post was intended to be about brain development. But I'll address my take on what you're asserting. I'm not talking about "kids today," PJ. I'm talking about "kids always." What makes it worse today is that kids see actors lying in a welter of gore one day and the next they see them smiling during an interview. In past times, pre-silver screen, bodies did not get up again and talk. Except for vampires, of course. Children are not capable of understanding death. Their brains take a long time to develop to the point that they can process the finality. The awareness comes to them over time as they experience permanent loss. But that loss comes at different times for all of us, in different quantity, and in its absence, with the presence of endlessly reincarnating characters, it's not all that hard to understand why children wouldn't expect their victim to rise and walk again. I've actually read articles about this happening, which is why it came to mind. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb
