Oh gawd, you hung with straight-edge kids, didn't you? (though that really didn't hit until early-to-mid 80s, I spose). No booze, no drugs, and for the true believers, no sex? Fuck that. I'll hang with Sid Vicious and Johnny Thunders (oh, wait....)

Yes and no. I did know some but they were not the virgins I was speaking of.

I think you're right. It's probably because of the myth that once a woman lets you fuck her up the ass, you've completely "conquered her." I've had discussions of the locker room variety, where guys who have been dumped say things like, "If she invites me to her wedding, I'll just whisper in the groom's ear that she likes it in the ass." The worst kind of insult I guess?

I assumed it's because it meant the woman was a freak. But then I didn't think anal was particularly outre.

Or an additional level of "intimacy"--well everyone may have fucked her, but not there.

A friend of mine lamented during college that she had lost her virginity at age 15 and would have nothing special to offer her husband. She ultimately decided that she would save 69 for marriage.

[spree: story about a man, nay a "fartiste," who "by contracting his abdomen muscles, could intentionally take up as much water as he liked and eject it in a powerful stream"]

I forget where I heard about this guy before, but I seem to remember that the "show" became something of a family business. After the old man died, Le Petomane, fils (sp?) took over the act until it much like vaudeville, fell out of fashion.

Though entertainment of this ilk, like all things once fashionable, goes in cycles.

I like the way this statement leaves open the FMF, MMM, FFF, FFMFFF, etc. possibilities with the use of the term "everyone." Nicely done.

LP, as always, got my point. As for the ABBA's point, I remain two short of a threesome.

One question I have is this: On CR they made it a point in one of their end-of-year specials to state that they have NEVER changed a room back and never will (I think it was in response to a question about the time a room was done up in red, white and black with a sort of bordello theme). Has there even been comment about this on TS and did they also say that changing back would be the responsiblity of the individual and not the show

TS won't change rooms back for you either, but do allow you do say a couple of absolutely-don't-do-thises on the forms* . But I think the one time Doug or whoever put a pole in the bedroom to strip-twirl to, the couple blushed but looked pretty stoked about it.

You let some stranger in your house to remake your room, you take your chances, you got on TV like you wanted so shut the fuck up you babies!


*(leading to the famous crying episode, where they said "don't touch the fireplace" so Doug accommodatingly boarded over it and decorated that part hideously instead)

What does that have to do with sex? A haircut and certain sensibilities doesn't tell you anything about my sexual desires any more than it does my penchant for illicit substances -- and I only use that because it always pissed me off that peeople assumed I was some sorta druggie because of the way I looked or the music I chose to listen to.

edited to say that before you all jump, I was not assuming that people who like different sex are anything at all, I simply said that they should examine their "why." In that way, I am not judgmental like those who simply assume one thing must mean the other as well.

Yeah, I think that you got jumped on (and not even when the Thrashers had a scoring opportunity) b/c of the thought that all these people have some sort of homosexual tendency, when in many of our experiences that is not the case. Many people like to experiment with stuff that feels good. Suggesting that they are not at one with their true selves because of it comes off as judgmental. Even to those who really think NTTAWWT. Your initial premise (maybe they don't know it but they are gay) is counter to the experiences that I have had with gay people and straight people.

Last comment (really) is that I am talking about people who are open to experimenting and comfortable with their sexuality, not people who are running around cursing "faggots" or whatever. I tend not to associate with those types.

Seriously, when did all of this "my life is so much more fulfilling than yours, you mindless troll" nonsense become acceptable?!

I have a newsflash for you all. No matter how cool you think you are, you are still lawyers, which is about as uncool a profession as exists.

Remember, at the end of the day, you're really not as cool as you think you are.

Oh yeaah? I do TAX, baby. And all that that implies.

hmmm considering that all men, in my opinion, look like farm animals when viewed naked from the rear it probably wouldn't be fair to judge. BUT, I will anyway. Let's just say that there must be some reason that I married the poor uneducated slob. I suppose he is more like a horse than a goat. :yum:

Ok. Now RT has some basis for comparison. That's all I was asking for.

Less: Fucking conformist.

NCS: I am much less of a Fucking conformist than Thrashers Fan is. Comparitively, I am a Fucking non-conformist.

Me: I think Less's point is that you don't have to be within the confines of a relationship. As long as everyone involved is a consenting adult, it really doesn't matter if you're on a first name basis.

I got the point. Just making a joke. Actually my point in the prior post was to be a little bit Dr Ruth-esque with the relationship speak...

Any-who, everyone have a good time...

I think something similar happened on CR. Very early episodes clearly had a "we can do whatever we want" atmosphere while some later ones seemed to permit the participants to designate "don't touches" and also sometimes had the designer trying to mold the design to what his investigations led him to believe would be at least somewhat acceptable to the homeowner. I would think that Americans would be more likely to explode over a bad room than Brits -- Brits seem so easygoing about a lot of stuff (generalization alert).

Have you ever watched House Invaders? I don't know if it came before or after CR started (I am guessing after). Here the homeowner helps do his own place )with supplies supposedly in the shed already (who the held keeps all that good wood and paint around?). At the end they leave to allow for "finishing touches." I can't recall seeing anything botched on this one. The two handy-guys are hotties.

but in any case, i think that your reasoning is very spurious - there is a subsegment of the bdsm community that is into something called "forced feminization" or "sissifyication" - where basically a dominant woman will play the "traditional male" role while a submissive man will play the "traditional female" role. naturally in such a scene, the strap on would play an essential role. i believe that most of the attraction of people who participate in those type of scenes is that the traditional gender roles are being reversed and the male is submitting to the woman.

So, in other words, sometimes a trapeeze is just a trapeeze?

Whew. Uh, I mean, my friend will be so relieved.

I know we tangled about this on the old board, but as I recall, all they said was that the didn't want the brick painted. Doug was correct in saying that faux weathered brick wouldn't work with the room, so he complied with the literal instructions and didn't permanently affect the brick. Of course, it bore no relationship to the homeowners' tastes, but those people needed help in the taste department, as I recall.

Wanted Frank; got Doug. Tough titties. I'd gladly take that room as done by Doug.

I got your point, Dr. Ruth.

And to tie some threads together (i.e. Dr. Ruth show + anal sex), does anyone know who Sue Johansen is? She (I believe) is now on the Oxygen network, but she is long known in Toronto for her "Sex with Sue" first radio, then TV show. Anyhoo, way way back when, I called up her show and we had a long discussion about anal sex on the radio. I pretended my name was Michelle. She was very helpful. Knows a lot about sex for a not very good looking woman.
