That's the key right there. The highest marks I got were in courses that I were frickin' fascinated with. Stuff that I would have taught myself on my own time (and in some cases, had even started to). Another way of phrasing the question would be: In the past 2 years, how many books have you bought, or documentaries have you watched, or discussions have you engaged in about anthropology vs. classics? Where do you find yourself naturally gravitating? Looking at the thread, it seems like you already know the answer. All I can do now is wish you the very best. Kick some ass!

"Stay safe" seems to be a pretty common salutation around here, and it's important to not let those just be words. We have to keep in mind what we all (hobbyists and SPs alike) need to keep safe from. Not just HIV and STDs, but the associated ignorance and shame and fear. Sure there's plenty of self-censorship here, but that's mostly on a personal level (not attacking people or websites). The bigger issues - STDs, SP safety, the pervasive negative stereotypes about SPs - these not only need to be discussed, they need to be actively engaged. Ignorance is the enemy, communication is the solution.

I'm too new here to be certain, but you probably need to upload the image to an album (or some other photo hosting site like photobucket), and then post the URL for _that_ in a post here. Pretty sure someone more cerb-savvy will correct me any minute now though... Good luck!

Good luck! The problem with presents is that it's easy to fall into the old childhood habit of spending half the time unwrapping, and the other half just playing with the box.

Julia _and_ Angel? 'Best Lunch Imaginable'

If you weren't both alone, I'd say 'crossing a line'. Alone, with you, as a surprise, I'd say 'best lunch ever'.

I'm against them. I always look ridiculous, especially if I haven't shaved.

If you're _that_ horny, try a bike ride... Without the seat ;) Additional Comments: Well, not without a seat entirely, just an alternative seat with a more pleasing shape.... Watch out for speed bumps! ('cos, you'll want to turn around and try them again)

Wait, do you need a whole penis? Or just the tip ;)

First experience with an SP was too terrible to describe... It's a miracle I ever tried again. First experience in a sex shop was entirely unlike . Not even remotely.

Raging Bull? Man, when will DeNiro learn to stop hanging out with Pesci? The guy's trouble!

It's certainly not any one thing, although I suppose we'd all be lying to ourselves if we didn't say physical attractiveness was the first thing. Sadly/Gloriously the ladies here are all SO stunning, that 'looks' basically filters you down from 100% to... 100%. So, yeah, I agree with everyone who says this should be multiple choice. Or have an 'all of the above' option. Best would be some kind of 'how important is each of these to you', but I don't think we're trying to generate accurate statistics, rather than stimulate some discussion. I've actually been struggling with this question myself. If I had infinite time/resources, I'd spend hours with every one of the smart, sweet, sexy SPs here. If only it were so.... Additional Comments: Hmm, this poll reminds me of an old joke, which I shall proceed to mangle: A man was lucky enough to have three women competing for his affections, but he could not decide between them. He fretted and fussed, making lists and scorecards, and comparing and contrasting. Finally, as a tiebreaker, each of the women made one last attempt to impress him, in their own way. The first, an artist, gave him portraits and sculptures, with himself as the subject. The second, a writer, penned an epic ode to her love for him. The third, a chef, invented a whole new kind of pastry, just for him. And still, moved as he was, the man could not decide. The tiebreaker had not shifted the balance one bit. So he just picked the one with the biggest tits.

I think Kubrick's version may have not been a complete success as an adaptation, but on it's own it's excellent. If you want Kubrick-does-King, then, yeah, you may be disappointed. But for Kubrick-doing-Kubrick? Pour me another, Lyle! And as for King hating it... IIRC, Anthony Burgess didn't enjoy the adaptation process much either, to the extent of inserting a parody of Kubrick in the stage version of Clockwork Orange.

Based on all the terrible attempts since, I'd have to say that 'La Femme Nikita' not only should never be remade, but cannot be remade.

Leaving Las Vegas... I bought the DVD because the performances were so good, but haven't been able to bring myself to actually watch it again.

As much as I can appreciate a woman wanting to sculpt her body as she sees fit, I find a woman comfortable and confident in her own skin waaaaaay sexier.

There may be a demand... For that segment of the male population with the unfortunate combination of too-much-hair and unsteady-hands.... Full on-waxing may be a bit too extreme for the lads, but you may get some takers for a nice gentle soapy lathery shave....

What always kept me away from it all was the fear that at some level I was hurting/using the SP. It's only by reading posts here that I'm coming to realize that it's not always so sordid. I agree with you 100% on 'misinformation'. It's the root of ignorance, which is at the root of just about every other problem out there ;) I'm not at the point where I post 'just spent the afternoon with an SP' on facebook or anything, but I'm at least feeling like less of a creep :)

I'd like to try something so weirdly kinky that you'll never see it in even the filthiest smut ever known to the dirtiest minds on the planet... .. that's right... .. sex UNDER the covers! ;)

I totally agree. I've only been here a couple of days and I'm utterly amazed at the warmth and _community_ here. Everybody's trying to build online communities, but you folks have actually done it, and that's rare and commendable. It actually feels.... safe. Safe, welcoming, and magnificently filthy. ;)

I thought Zaftig was a Woody Allen movie... ... which actually reminds me, a <damn-ed word we cannot find> friend of mine was once described simply as ... "a bit of a Russ Meyer girl". That may work...

I agree about the stigma, but not so much the "only losers pay for sex" but more the "prostitution is just exploitation and objectification" stigma. Reading the thoughts of the SPs here has been very encouraging. I'm really glad to see so many of you have found so much in each other.

Since they're probably going to be mandatory anyway, I'm getting one just above my junk saying: "The following pants contain materials that may be considered offensive to some. Adults only. Aim away from face."

English is a pretty flexible language. You could probably just come up with a breastacular word of your own to describe how cleavalicious you are, and it would all be perfectly cromulent.

Hearing a woman whisper, moan, and scream my name while I lick and tease and lick... Genuine affection and sweetness... Sweet and dirty talk all in the same sentence...
