Merry Generic Winter Day-Off With No Religious Content

And now for something very vanilla -- Gatorade. I just love it after a workout. It tastes like manna from heaven. But it is full of high-fructose corn syrup and probably very bad for me. Anyone know of a sports drink with no caffeine that has electrolytes like Gatorade and tastes yummy and has a better sweetener, like sugar, for example?

In my experience, Gatorade is fruity, not vanilla.

Yet another definitional disconnect. Oh the humanity!

Ahem, TM, iirc, you edited your post to a "nevermind." Did you really want a detailed list of scenes and scenarios? FTR, I'm clear on the distinctions (as I see them), and I wasn't looking for attention, just speaking off the top of my head about a few things that were on my mind. So there!

I added the nevermind because the question was asked by someone else who posted faster than me. If you wanted to give detail, you would have, which was the reason I used you as an example to Not Bob.

I draw the line at diapers, even if they are purely for show. Sorry.



ETA alas, I have not re-encountered back-hurting guy.

This reminds me of an etiquitte question recently asked of me by a male friend of mine. He is notoriously into a variety of kinky shit*, so not much should suprise him, yet this did.

First date (they always are). She's on top. Without asking or warning, she starts choking him. He thinks "ok, I'll try for a little while, I have friends who are into this and they have told me this is awesome." He lets her go for a little while then takes her hands away from his throat. He said it hurt like hell.

The "do you bring your kinks out on the first date" discussion ensued, and everyone agreed that it's probably a good idea to lay it all out there early on so six months into dating, you're not hit with a "I'm into the furries" fetish.

But, should a) bring out your knink on the first date/fuck? and b) isn't it polite to warn someone about the kink before engaging in the kink? Does it depend on the kink?

Frankly, if I were to let someone choke me (and I'd have to think a little about that before it were to happen) it'd have to be someone I trusted, and I don't think most first date/fucks are in that category.

The funny part is that you spelled both of them correctly.

Ya' gotta believe.

Except that the correct term is malum in se.

How about Pedilyte (or however you spell it)? I think that is intended to replenish the electrolytes without the sugar.

ETA: WebMD has a recipe, though there's a rather alarming warning above it.

No. No one could do that. But do you see yourself as a peacemaker? I think you do. And that's cool, I'm not saying it isn't needed sometimes (although I'd prefer everyone fight it out to death, of course, but I doubt everyone thinks like me). But I think you get carried away with it, so I call you on it. No one hesistates to call me on my shit and that's cool too.

It may seem that way, sometimes, true. But I don't recall telling you and Ty to be nice to each other in discussing the roughing the passer rule.

We were having a debate. No one was being mean. The simple fact that you used this as an example means you're way too nice.

And you need a hug. I know that's part of your schtick, too.

Nah. Hugs are stupid, like parades.*

Yes. get it out there early. don't "warn," it should flow- although you need to know if it is a "deal breaker" if the kink is rejected before you try.

And yes it depends on the kink. If it is behavior that people typically do to kill someone else, you really need to warn, and maybe suggest it as something in the tool box to try at some point in the future. That is, choking is an exception to all of my answers.

Whoops. Sorry. The * was intended to point out that I wasn't going to laundry list his kinky shit, but not because of Not Bob's admonition. I've been witness to some of it, though it was sort of hard to see everything through the steam.

Go ahead, piss TM off by exercising some discretion.

Why not?!?!?!?!?! Ollie has let us know (through third parties, of course) about his diaper thing.

Bananas and water?
