Brad

I'm curious to hear what type or level of lighting you most prefer when being intimate? Also, how much--if any--does it depend or change based on other factors like weather, time of day/year, how turned on you are, and so on? As for the poll, I know there was a previous one on just lights on/off, but I thought it would be fun to spice up the choices a bit and see what appeals.

I'm not good at identifying scents, but have generally appreciated various types. To me the more important thing is that the scent is something you only subtly notice at first, and have to be within a foot or two to become truly aware of.

Too funny! A few more for you: Lord of the Anal The Wizard of Anal 12 Anal Men Raiders of the Lost Anal (actually all the Indiana Jones titles work pretty well!) I'm tempted to simply take the title "Jaws" and change it to "Anal" just because the theme music could still apply: Da dum...da dum...da dum da dum DA DUM!

It's all about consent, of course. What two (or more) adults do is up to them, and I'm sure we all know that everyone has their own turn-ons and preferences. For myself, other than some playful spanking, giving or receiving pain or humiliation doesn't do anything for me. But hey, I'm also not into broccoli, cricket, or Dan Brown novels. Doesn't mean I don't understand or have any issue with those who do. I have enjoyed light bondage play, both being the one tied up and the one unbound, and the experience both ways have always been a lot of fun (isn't that why bedposts were invented???). Some roleplay where one partner is in control has also been a thrill. Of course--as with most matters social and intimate--trust is the biggest factor. I've remember reading an article from someone into bdsm, who pointed out in a way it's the sub who has the real control, as they get to determine where the limits are; they get to decide if they obey or not and with who. I thought it was an interesting perspective.

That gaze... I feel like this might be a repost but doubt anyone will mind... Yeah, I'd spend my day staring at them too...

Thank you both very much. As I've said elsewhere, I appreciate how welcoming this whole community is, and it's been a pleasure to participate. Still, I'm especially touched by your words (and gods know, I like being touched!) :)

Terrific pictures, Peachy (was going to try to name one as a favourite, but they're all great).

Is there a male here who didn't have a teenage dream about this particular costume?

Tricky question! Let's see, I'm going to try each of your categories... Something personal: Spend more time reading. Something general: Blinkers on cars. They would be used. Before turning. Something small: (or at least, it should be...) "Abbreviation" wouldn't be such a long word. It's just not right people! Something big: How great if people could only live and let live? A simple aphorism, but one not commonly enough practiced.

I actually regret that I wasn't a bit more imaginative with my own handle (username handle, that is!) But honestly I'd registered to the site on a bit of whim, curious to read a couple threads on the forums but never intending to participate. Indeed, after an initial look--obviously not realizing what I was missing!--I moved along and all but forgot about the site. Happily I was steered back and drawn into thoughtful discussions, welcomed by friendly members, and--why deny it?--entranced by the lovely ladies. So yeah, "Brad" was picked on a whim simply because a username was needed and once I did start posting it seemed silly to change it after the fact. But while I may regret not putting a bit more imagination into it, I certainly don't regret getting to know the community. So thanks all!

I realize that I'll probably have to turn in my man card for this one, but Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" was probably the first song that got me out on a club dance floor and still gets my foot tapping whenever I hear it.

Not an acronym, but if "Penal Colony" isn't begging to be misinterpreted, then I don't know what is.

I feel like there's a bit of a contradiction in those two paragraphs, Jack. I don't know that I agree with Cristy myself, not completely anyway, but isn't your assumption of why anyone would agree itself dismissive? Myself, I think various viewpoints have been well presented here. And while I'm not sure just where I stand, I can see the intent of each. I would agree Emily J's post a few back makes some good points, especially the inherent difference between those threads that are collections of photos from across the web showcasing individual likes (I've certainly participated in several of those), and threads that inherently are comparing sex acts of Cerb ladies. I don't want to argue that either are right or wrong--plenty has been said already each way. What I do want to suggest is that surely everyone can at least recognize that one of those thread types is at least more...complex...than the other. I mean, I've been one of the fellows that think the "hot guys" thread the ladies started is as innocent fun as the rest, and I've had some fun joining in. And though I wouldn't personally be offended if someone started a "which client gives the best DATY in Nova Scotia" thread, I would view it differently. It's easier said than done to simply ignore such threads--I certainly know I couldn't help but look...wondering if I'd be named...maybe a little anxious if I wasn't, worried why. What if it started seeming like everyone was named but me? Now truthfully, I'd probably actually find such a thread intriguing, but I can at least try to have some empathy for the other view. Anyway, I've rambled too long. Let me end by suggesting that perhaps everyone could at least agree that those who post "best of" threads don't intend any offense (indeed, probably quite the opposite!), but also that the feelings of those who find them off-putting are valid also. Now, I'm off go stick my nose in a less tricky issue, like peace in the Middle East.

Oh what a terrific event that would be! Thanks for the invite. :icon_smile: I'll bring along a cooler, but someone else will have to bring the beer. Mine will be holding various flavoured ice-creams for the sundae bar I'll be setting up to the side.

Thanks all. The group is created and open to anyone interested. Come share some fun tales, ideas, and pictures: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/group.php?groupid=183 Hope to see you there!
