Yeah, just listened to this myself - it is good to hear an unbiased perspective that has been extensively researched, instead of the usual moral grandstanding people take out of ignorance. That said, this whole game that we're all playing is what it is. I don't feel guilty or immoral about it, nor do I celebrate its wonders; it's just there. It has pros and cons about it like anything else in life, so to come across a study that paints a more realistic picture, demonstrates the potential benefits, and shows a traditionally vilified activity as being human...maybe it can hopefully balance the scales somewhat. I almost participated in that study; contacted Chris Atchison about it and received a reply, but did not have the time to participate. Wondering if anyone here did and if so, how did the interview go?

You do realize that they are about a billion different kinds of dildos and vibrators out there? All us guys get is crappy cock rings, fleshlights and exploding dolls ;)

Miel, I think whatever makes you happy is the way to go. You're going to get 10 guys tell you they like big, fake tits, and 10 others that love them natural. And it doesn't matter what any of them think.

Since you're in school, you already have a perfectly legitimate reason for having a gap in employment. Lying about something on a resume can come back to bite you in the ass, and working towards a degree is more impressive to say than stocking shelves at Loblaw's. If you do need to 'embellish' your work experience, back that up with a reference who can vouch (lie) for you ;) Posted via Mobile Device

I think the act of putting a condom on is tedious enough the first time, so it doesn't come off unless it's full. Unless of course something doesn't feel right so then I'll put a new one on. Doesn't happen often. As far as the 2 out of 100 failure rate conjecture goes, it doesn't matter how many times you change the condom, it only matters which one you blow your load in. If it's one of the bad 2, there's a 100% chance it will fail, the other 98 will give you a 100% guarantee. Fuzzy math for a fuzzy problem. Makes me think of russian roulette. You put a bullet in a gun, spin the chamber, and pull the trigger. 1 in 6 chance you spray your brains all over the wall. If you spin again the next time, your chances are still 1 in 6, if you don't spin again it's 1 in 5. But if you have one of those guns that automatically go to the chamber with the bullet in it, you're looking at a 100% chance that your head explodes. In that case, better put a brain condom on so that you don't make a mess.

This stuff came from http://theoatmeal.com/ . Some funny and interesting material there, all of it done by one guy.

I think it's safe to say that the majority - if not all - of the girls here have fantastic smiles. If you're running into ones that are missing teeth, you're not looking in the right places.

http://trueslant.com/daviddisalvo/2009/12/28/ten-psychology-studies-from-2009-worth-knowing-about/ Summary of each, more extensive writeups and links to studies in the article. 1. If you have to choose between buying something or spending the money on a memorable experience, go with the experience. 2. First impressions are all about value. 3. The ?money illusion??the tendency to allow the nominal value of money (amount of currency) to interfere with the real value (value of goods the money can buy)?is all in your head. 4. Playing video games could be an unlikely cure for psychological trauma. 5. All of us spend time riding the moral self-regulation see saw. 6. If you?re preparing for a specific challenge, make sure you prep for that challenge and not just ones like it. 7. If someone is trying to sell you something, be extra careful to keep your psychological distance. 8. Turns out, saying you?re sorry really is important?and not just to you. 9. We can become bored with just about anything, but there may be a way to reverse the habituation blues. 10. If you?re a man and find yourself in an argument with your significant other, choose your words very carefully. And how each of these personally relate to myself and our common interest here: 1. Oh so true. Every time I wake up and see another gadget I wanted that cost twice as much as it's worth now, has become relatively obsolete, and sole purpose is for me to dust later - well that don't bring much joy. But when I wake up with a woody, I spend a few minutes reminiscing about some great memories. Sometimes those memories give me that woody to begin with. Priceless. 2. I know within a minute of meeting someone for the first time whether or not this will be money well spent. Sometimes the sex doesn't work as well as I'd like, but the time spent will still be worth it. 3. Got a serious bump in pay last year and rationalized that I could spend much more on having fun. Then I realized I had to pay tax on all that. 4. This might explain why instead of cuddling amd going to sleep after some lacklustre sex with the ex-wife, I went online and killed thousands of people playing Unreal Tournament. 5. Quite often I find that there's not enough women who have had the pleasure of my company, thus I feel obligated to enrich certain SP's lives to do naughty things with me. Ok, I'm really stretching on this one; I don't have any morals to feel guilty about not following. 6. You've been wanting to go greek for awhile now. Shove something up your ass so that you know the proper way of doing it, don't subject someone else to your ignorance. "But it looked so easy in porn!", won't avoid a scream and punch in the face when you fuck it up. 7. You were expecting greek as part of the package, and now that you're just about to put it in, she says with a smile that it's $100 more. Where's my wallet? 8. I am sorry that I came in your mouth after you told me how much you wanted me to do that and then you ran to the bathroom looking like you were going to vomit on the way there. Honest, it turned me on before thinking you got off on it and now I feel like I accidently farted when you were going down on me. It so won't happen again, I promise. I'm sorry. 9. I think what this is trying to say is remember all the great sex with other girls you had before you met your wife, and then your sex life with her will not be boring anymore. Should probably mean revisit those old flames or try something new with someone else before going back to mish with the missus. 10. I always try to stay rational and not get crazy in a dispute. And then something irrational comes out of her mouth so I have to get cancer or diabetes? Shit. Guess I will have to choose my words more carefully.

And in other news, this thread has got WAY off topic!

That doesn't make sense - each condom would be subject to the 98% reliability rate. I understand that you're taking it as 2% of condoms fail so using 6 would up the odds to 12%, but there's only one condom being ejaculated into so it doesn't matter which one it is. Still, it's a little bit on the overkill side of things regardless...

Hmmm, never mind. Works fine if I login at cerb.ca instead of http://www.cerb.ca - bookmark I had always had the www prefix

I don't know if this is something I can configure in my Firefox settings, but for the last few weeks I have noticed some links do not retain the fact that I am logged in already. Figured out it was anything that did not start with www. The majority of all the links on here are http://www.cerb.ca/*, but on the main page in the section where the top 15 Stats links are, they are all missing the www prefix. So whenever I click on those, I am asked to login and get that screen saying that I've reached my limit in the number of posts I can view without registering. Never had a problem with this before - anyone else getting this? I can usually figure this stuff out, but maybe it's the links that aren't being outputted correctly?

Maybe this will help people communicate a little better ;)

Of course it happens, it's like any other situation when people meet and enjoy each other's company. I'm sure it doesn't happen as much as most guys would like, and many girls are either very guarded about clients they spend time with, or simply don't have the time to do it at all. Don't go looking for it though, it just happens.

With all the other stuff that goes on CL, you can't blame anyone for being suspicious when odd things pop up.

Pffft...hobby phone is for rookies. Gotta go hardcore and just get a divorce. Life is way easier that way ;)
