makes sense to me

no flames!! A little simplistic, but ...yeah...

[Shimmer1]

I feel the same way about these manufactured holidays!

The problem with stories like this is that they base it on the idea that sex is the be-all and end-all of all human experiences. Don't get me wrong...I'm not knocking sex. But I think it's a pretty good idea that women are not as sexually-crazed as men. And maybe having the fantastic orgasm is not the ultimate human experience. The notion that having multiple orgasms was a goal for everybody originated in the sixties with the Playboy ideal for men and the radical feminist push for sexually-driven females.

More power to you if you and your partner think it is, but my wife and I get along just fine without acting like fevered rabbits. Of course, we're a little on in years and know there's other things in life than jumping in the sack several times per day.

My sweetie is definitely an alpha male! (swoon) ;D

That’s kind of the point, that many women are simply unaware of or ignore or are not being completely honest about what turns them on. There are a variety of theories about this, but the low correlation is seen as less about the apparatus and more about female psychology.

This article is Bull. Poop.

Ask anyone who’s been through IVF hormonal supplementation.

Libido is wholly hormonal! Get her hormones aligned, guys, and if she’s into you she will want you!

"women...bad guys"

Famous underground cartoonish Robert Crumb wrote one of his cartoon stories about females and bad guys. Since he was a skinny wimp, he never got the women despite being artistically talented. The good-looking girls he craved always went for the biggest louses. After he became famous, he got all the women he wanted. But he never got over his feeling of how hypocritical females were concerning desirable men. My own feeling is many young females crave excitement...something they're more likely to get with bad boys than with wimpy good guys.

Try this one.

Some years ago they took a poll about the priorities between men and women. For men, sex was the number one priority in life. For women, sex was down the list behind cleaning the refrigerator. I’m only slightly exaggerating. Sex was about no. 37 on the priority list for women.

Nice.

I’m sure Christly women are just lining up to have this device shoved into their nether parts.

Like I said, you have never been tired.

[jy8z]

I agree wholeheartedly. I quit reading this thread after your comment. Enough said.

She hopes.....

[BlueMondaySkipper]

She does indeed look pretty horny...

He doesn't do rose petals but my DH does draw me a bath with candles when I have had a bad day.

Well, I'm not much of an artist, but I'll give that a shot.

[ThomasMore]

Can you imagine what she will look like if she makes 70?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You can use crayons. It's easier. ;)

Honestly I don't understand what people find so unbelievable about running a bath. You put in the plug and turn on a faucet. Maybe throw in some bath salt and light a candle. It takes all of a minute if you move slowly. And you get major points for doing it.

Is there something here I am missing?
