Rescuing the princess or me Tarzan/ you Jane( or John and Dejah, which was so me even if the reference is less iconic) seems to have the in their roots in some D/s. Porn was a lot harder to get but I remember some b/w polaroids when I was young of Japanese women giving on their knees blowjobs to fully in uniform sailors. The waiting girl pose, eyes down, waiting serenely was always appealing. I had a second or third grade classmate tell me I held her against a wall and kissed her. Never happened but it made me wonder about her and what vibe I was giving off even then. We were never close or played together ( as kids!! or adults either) but she said enough to make me curious.

No doubt female attention is the biggest one so I work on the interface. Neat and clean, fit and friendly gets me positive feedback. Girls talk to girls and notice how you treat them, so be a gentlemen even when there are no potential partners around. Someone might think I'm sexy but if I'm bristly and cold them, they won't get a chance to let me know.

First I want free and fair elections, we need a swing state to pass this close to the election. The Supreme Court is barely bothering to pretend they care about the law. Anything that could cost the Christian Fascists(GOP) the election will be found by some pretext to be unconstitutional. There are more than enough people to win 2/3 of the Senate if they're allowed to vote and impeach Kavanaugh, lots of people close to Trump would go to prison. Keep the pressure on.

Question: Has anyone ever engaged in fisting?

Buttercup comments on Jul 30, 2019:

Been with two girls who liked it, both small and athletic. It's like the splits, takes some stretching, long and short term. It has nothing to do with a loose pussy, they both had excellent muscular control and could be really tight anytime they wanted. The splits is not evidence that a gymnast is out of shape and has "loose joints". Also like the splits it's harder for some than others. If it hurts and you hate it, it's your pussy.

Quote from a "Biblical Scholar" " It’s pretty obvious from the outset that Ezek. 23 is a parable which uses the “whorish” behaviour of a pair of women as a metaphor for the unfaithful and ungodly behaviours of Israelites from two nations; “Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.” I believe that the biblical interpretation would tell us that the message of Ezekiel 23 is as a warning to the nations of Earth to not be godless in our actions toward other nations, or God will give permission for the other nations to kill the former.

Motion of electrons is a misnomer, they really aren't some tiny discrete objects circling a center of force. We can ignore that though because even if it were true it wouldn't matter.

Buttercup comments on Jul 27, 2019:

In a similar vein When the Rabbi was asked "Why did God create atheists?"... "God created atheists to teach us the most important lesson of them all - the lesson of true compassion. You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his actions are based on his sense of morality. Look at the kindness he bestows on others simply because he feels it to be right. When someone reaches out to you for help. You should never say "I'll pray that God will help you." Instead, for that moment, you should become an atheist - imagine there is no God who could help, and say "I will help you"."

A routine diagnosis, years of kids slamming the door had cracked the jamb and thrown it out of true, I jacked it back into place and nailed it to; a sturdy but unsightly repair. We agreed we'd fix it right when she could afford it. I gave her the dimensions and told her about a mill-work place that gave good deals on returns since I knew she was on SSI and had a part time job at a convenience to make ends meet. She asked me for a bill and I just asked her to buy some flower bulbs from my daughter's class for her school fundraiser. Never did replace the door and maybe it's still there. A couple of years passed and and I got a call from her daughter, she'd died, asking me to stop by and pay my respects. When I got there I only recognized one person, the daughter, and started to explain who I was. One of the sons held up his hand stopped me and said, we all know who you are, you're the guy that was so good to our Mom. Surprising what you can get for fifteen minutes of your time.

Is our universe flat or curved ?

It was Reimann (sp?) who threw out the Euclidian axiom that parallel lines can never meet and set the stage for Einstein's fourth dimension. In idealized math we frequently ignore circumstances that don't affect the matter at hand. When you draw a square on a piece of paper it is counterproductive to account for the thickness of the ink or the inconsistencies of the paper even though we know they exist and when we scale another dimension to form a cube we still ignore it. So it is always curved but until and unless we need to account for the curvature treating it as flat gives the best result. (There is also the issue of whether curved space is flat in dimensions higher than four which opens a new can of worms)

Suicide bombs are almost by definition weapons of the weak and when you look at the numbers Muslim victims outnumber aggressors by a huge margin. As badly as it sucks for the individuals peaceful Palestinians being killed by soldiers are a good way to bring attention to the injustices they suffer.

This seems more of a dating problem than a poly issue, it's hard to meet one right person so even harder to meet two. If this guy wanted a monogamous relationship would it change how you felt about him? Give yourself a chance, there isn't ever one right way to do things. One huge advantage of being open to alternative relationships, is you have time to consider what you want without a cloud of sexually urgent desire affecting your choices. He may be moving too fast for you right now but that is between you and him and negotiable.
