I beg to differ, darling. *preens figure in tight spotlight*

We do not avoid. We are merely… selective.

In your case, the selective breeding rule may apply.

I’m a tad confuzzled when it gets to identifying the dorsal and ventral surfaces of an *ahem*. After all, sometimes one side’s ventral, at happier times it’s dorsal.

If you see where I’m coming from….

It’s not penus, so it’s not penii. The -is end means that the nominative plural (which would be penii if it was penus) also ends with -es. So if you want to be a grammar nerd, do it right:

Penes is plural of penis.

(penis, penis, peni, penem, pene is the singular row. Penes, penium, penibus, penes, penibus is the plural row.)

FadedLY might be picking up on the degrading verbal and body language in some pr0n, or by certain males in his/her circle. Or maybe in one of the previous lols, where a jerk was describing causing women to ‘shut up’ because they should be ‘servicing him’. Such behavior is only working to the disadvantage of guys who like oral sex, because it makes intelligent women hesitant.
But in a good relationship, there is no degradation at all in giving each other pleasure.

Is it degrading for a man to give a woman oral sex? (I don’t think it is.) But what pleasure can he possibly derive from it? Only that of giving the other person pleasure. Same principle in reverse answers your question.

I can only speak for myself here. But I wouldn’t even think of providing oral sex for a guy unless I 1) totally trusted, and 2) was in love with him, and 3) he was making me VERY happy in bed. Then, the fun of it is getting him crazy…because he shares that crazy so nicely!
(yup, VG is in love!)

FadedLY — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 02:12:17 +0000

I might be speaking naively here (as, men and sex with them isn’t really my area — so to speak) but from my vantage point, a female giving a male oral sex Does look degrading to her, and her enjoying it looks like it would be because she’s turned on by being degraded in some way.

Am I wrong? Can I get some enlightenment here, or another view of things?

Totally–love and trust make a huge difference in perspective. Otherwise, sex can become ‘servicing’–ick.

Actually, this is pretty much the point I was trying to make, so I’m finding no fault with this post (well, the link doesn’t seem to work, but otherwise). And there are (or were) cultures in which routine MGM (have you ever split open a hot dog the long way?) happens, but my own opinion (in a sort of clinical sense) is that the greater testosterone level in males makes up for the loss of sensitivity, so it’s not considered to be as big a deal (i. e. most guys will pretty much stick it in a tree stump, if it looks at them the right way, regardless of their penile configuration).

I’m pretty much with AC on this one. Although I’d still rather see real moobs than enhanced breasts – reconstruction/lifting, fine, but once they hit your chin or your armpits (while you’re standing) you’ve kinda overdone it IMO.

Annie and Mark – There’s a huge difference between the number of marriages that end in divorce and the number of people who get divorced since one person can get married and divorce countless times (skewing the numbers). That could explain your differences in stats.

Link. Male circumcision removes an intact male organ (the foreskin, which produces smegma and covers the *internal* organ of the glans) and of necessity removes sensation because it removes many many thousands of nerve endings. This is just common sense. Men have every bit as much right to be against it as women do against FGM. There is a wealth of linked information at the clearinghouse I’m recommending, but the most powerful testimonies come from men who have had their circumcisions later in life and have a basis for comparison (those done at birth do not.) Turning an internal organ (the glans) into an external one, of necessity turns it less sensitive due to constant rubbing, lack of lubrication, etc . This is a very important issue to many men.

Okay, it’s probably best if we just let this one go then, because my wife and I spent a lot of time researching and generally follow suit with the “militant” breastfeeding attitude. We’ll just agree to disagree.

Personally I’m thinking I’m pretty much done with making dick-joke lols, but you-all feel free…perhaps this will hold us over for a while? And I recommend that one NOT look up stories about circumcision with electric scalpels. Makes zombie-nun-clowns look pretty tame, IMO. Well, unless they’ve got brains like, dribbling down their chins. I just can’t stand that (I mean, how hard is it to just use a freaking napkin? Honestly?).

By: Jane St.Clair

Jane St.Clair — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 02:09:30 +0000

Okay, let me give you another situation. A friend of mine has two kids, ages 2 and a half and 5 months. When she was pregnant for her first she told me she was not breastfeeding. I don’t remember why she didn’t want to, but I do know that there was no medical reason that said she couldn’t, she just chose not to do it. Do I agree with her? Well, it doesn’t really matter if I do or not, it’s not my kid. I’m not going to stand there and tell her that she’s a bad mother because she didn’t breastfeed. As a matter of fact, she’s a great mother. She loves her kids and they’re healthy and happy. Would breastmilk have been better for them? Probably. But again, formula isn’t illegal, parents are well within their rights to feed it to their kids for whatever reason.

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:40:06 +0000

I’m not trying to suggest anyone is a failure for their parenting. I do think it’s important that people know what they’re getting into with both bf’ing and formula feeding, and they need to do their research to make the choice that’s best for the BABY.

By: Eric-in-STL

Eric-in-STL — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:23:09 +0000

And frankly any minor medical benefit to circumcising boys doesn’t beat slicing up a baby’s penis without his consent. But that’s just me.

That being said about curved sticks, it’s not always a good thing. A botched circ can really screw up a guy’s willy for life. Not particularly common, but it does happen.

I completely agree, Jane. It’s about what’s best for the kiddo, not what is easiest. That goes both ways.

By: Jane St.Clair

Jane St.Clair — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 00:55:59 +0000

Look, I'm not anti-breastfeeding by any means. I'm anti-sticking your nose into my life and telling me what's best for my child. Whether I agree with it or not, formula isn't illegal and if a parent wants to go that route for whatever reason then that's there business and who am I to sit in judgment of them. I do know that my nephew had a lot of problems taking to breastfeeding and was in the hospital for longer because he was undernourished and I do know that my cousins had severe milk allergies. Now I have since heard that as long as the mother wasn't drinking milk than her children should have been okay on the breast milk. I don't know if that's true or not or if my cousin knew about it or if it was just easier to put the girls on soy. Regardless of the reason that's their choice to make and they shouldn't be made to feel like a failure as a mother because they made it.
