Male and Female Imponderables--All Along the Watchtower by Tristan

Terribly sorry to have pigeonholed you.
Couple of things before I get started. You said "feel free to ignore". Thank you, I was "exercising my freedom" not to ignore the fact that you had not grasped the definition of the word in question, and I thought I would clarify it for you.
Second, I respect what you have done for this country. That does not mean I will take you at your word. I will wait for your actions to indicate your intentions.

To tell you the truth, I have very little control over the minds of the people that post here. I'm sorry, I can't tell them to hate you or like you. By bringing up that you had caused problems in the past, I was hoping to forestall people who did not know you from making the mistake of trying to engage in discussions with you for fear the same thing would happen again. And really, I don't need to call "bullshit" on you, nor do I need any ammunition.
I suggest you take a moment to re-read my first post to you. Did I point fingers? Did I freak out, start hollering for people to run away? Let me check...nope. All I said was [qoute]You're back again? And you've brought the ladder with you.[/qoute] Nope, nothing threatening in there at all. Matter of fact, I have probably greeted several people who have been away for a long time the same way. Your response was unanswered by me, you will note. Again, no finger-pointing, etc. Other people read the contents of the link and the fun started. It wasn't until much later that I came back on and posted again. You want to call it finger-pointing, go right ahead, because in that case, it was. Last time you posted here you angered many, many people, myself included. I am not going to give you the pleasure of going over all that again, just know that at that point, you became a threat in my eyes, and I have and will treat you as such until you prove not to be. So far, you are still a threat. If you would like to continue this, I would be more than happy to oblige you, but this thread is supposed to be for pleasurable discussion. If you have changed, then I will see it and I will leave you alone. If not, well, I guess you know that I'll be there to say "bullshit".

Ancient history or not, she still brought it up in the first place. The long and short of it is, if she hadn't made her little statements about me being a "troll" from another thread up, we wouldn't even be talking about it now.

I really don't see how this isn't translating to any of you. I don't recall being on anyone's shit list until she spoke up. Now you all hate me? Is that not sufficient evidence in itself?

And please, if by chance anyone was inclined to, don't patronize me with "we don't hate you" responses. I'm not looking for pity here, I'm legitimately wondering how no one else seems to be able to perceive what's happening.

Also, Tristran, this isn't about me having "changed". I haven't changed because there was no need to. I still stand by my statements I made on that thread, and if you're legitimately interested in staying away from that area, I'll be happy to not say them again. However, I do not conceed any single point of it. I spoke on what I've seen, and there's no reason to apologize for that.

DancingNeko, sorry about that!
Does that mean the practice offer is now out?
I hate looking at numbers...well, I hate what they have to tell me, which is usually bad news. I find that ice cream and brownies usually help.
*offers DancingNeko ice cream and brownies*
That should about do it. If not, try this.
*puts a large bottle of Bailey's next to her*

CK, I hope you aren't staying away because of this? We do miss you here.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Dropping in from my favorite net cafe for some impondering!
What I would buy for a SO would really depend on the person. I would buy them the thing that they would be most ga-ga over. For example, ex of doom wanted an Alienware computer quite badly, and drooled over them, so I would have gotten him one of those. Me, I would most want a heart-shaped ruby ring. Or maybe to have my car paid off or a trip to Hawaii without having to worry about money

Actually buying an island is another idea

Y'all are making me tear up with these visions of paradise.
Oh James, you know, it's warmer in Colorado

I'll weigh in again on the ladder theory by saying (again) that I in fact have a man's ladder. So how accurate is it? Not very.
As for the money thing, yeah, I'd like to find a guy with money, but I wouldn't get with a guy just because he had money. Donald Trump could wave his wallet under my nose as much as he wanted and it wouldn't make me sleep with him. He's a dick.
Thank you, CK for saving me from reading such grammatically butchered and also sexist drivel.
And yes, of course sex is an unavoidable feature. Women are like that too. Why do you think so many women own vibrators? Sorry, but maybe men should actually learn how to please women if they want to get laid more. It's not as hard as y'all make it out to be.
And I'm sure I'll just get blasted by him again for this, but are we really surprised that such a sexist and horrible link is coming from Chris? Honestly. Yeah, you go be honest with yourself that you hate women, that's fine. Not everybody does. And stop acting like you're more mature than most of the people on here when I know you're my age and most here are older than me. I consider myself fairly mature, but I often bow to the wisdom of those older than me. This is why I ask them for advice.
I would love to read the rest of this, but me tea is getting cold, so I'm going to go for the moment.

Woohoo, ice cream, brownies, and Bailey's! Somebody knows my weakness!

I'm not staying away on purpose, much less because of someone I can just as easily ignore while still enjoying the conversations here.

Nope, I've just been crazy busy, mostly with work. Things have calmed down a tad now -- I had two part time gigs that had me working ~14 hours a day, but I've since dropped one and the other has gone full time, leading to ~10 hour work days. I suspect the full time gig is going to go into massive crunch in the next few weeks (which actually is what I'm hoping for, ironically), so I probably won't be around all that much in general. But I'll stop by when I can. Especially if ice cream and brownies come as part of the deal.

...On a side note, Farrell's has opened up again in Hawai`i! *YAY!* Only thing is it's on the other side of the island! *boo* Farrell's was known as a themed ice cream restraunt where it had a giant bowl of ice cream -- 50 scoops! And with hot fudge and whipped cream over it! (One was called the "Mauna Kea") It was pretty much the birthday-party central for kids when I was young...(..and that's the size of this bowl of ice cream...Tristan just didn't realize it.

Just catching up - the castle in Ireland it is. I want a room at the top of a tower, with a great view of the sea from my desk. One of those huge libraries that has those ladders on wheels to play with (and possibly Giles as librarian) And an express lift down to the kitchens.

Husband would like a very expensive car. Probably a Vaeron (?)

Thank you VX... it's just - you know - I thought she was my friend... *accepts the offer of strawberries... and eats them oh, so, slowly* There that's so much better!

Any way - I'm mightily cheered by the plan for a castle on an island off Ireland!! Green hills and ocean views - bare-foot servants with gorgeous lilting accents - a huge bath that has really hot water that never runs out... leather chairs in that library too SpaceANGL - I love the smell of leather... and a 'Shindig' every Saturday! I'll even help you run the nursery if you like Little Albatross! I love kids - and if MsG promises to cook then I'll take care of the potential-little-G with all the love I have! (Oh & Sean & Dylan too, of course!)

I would like my very own bedroom at the top of another tower - we could wave or use semaphore if you like SpaceANGL - and I am having a huge, four post bed complete with curtains & medieval tapestries on the walls - and central heating too... they get awefully cold and drafty those ancient castles... Ummmm... Do I get to request a knight in shining armour if I don't actually have a SO...?

And just to be a little bit serious - New Imponderable - what gift would you give your SO if you were flat broke and money was almost impossible to scrape together ...?

hmmmmmmm... that cheered me up some - thanks VX!

Yes please. AnJL. Bailey's + fudge == something evil but good for down days...like today.

MsG: If I had a ton of money to spend on my S.O...I'd fund a way to travel from *here* to *there*, so I could visit them (and they could vist me) quickly and easily. (I know, it's a pipe dream, but it's *my* pipe dream.)

As for a gift when you're flat broke...I seem to have that issue way too often. I usually try to find something that they enjoy that I can afford (eg. my brother in law likes to drink bud light, so I bought him some beers that are similar; or when I bought my mom a Yoda keychain, since she likes Yoda...)

Gifts when broke - tend to be food orientated. I make my H his favourite meal, if I can't afford to take him out to places.

Another addition to the castle dream if there was tons of money - a climbing wall.

I would add something about dungeons for the F*x execs, but given the minds of some folks on here (*coughmagdacough*) that could lead to all kinds of...filth and depravity.

Strawberries? Shiny.

When I'm flat broke the best gift I can give is time. I think that's the best gift regardless of how much money you have. But finding a way to see the person you love even when you have no money, that's important.

Hey DancingNeko,
I'm glad that you and Magda got everything straightened out. Since you said you have to leave, I hope it's OK for me to help myself to ice cream, brownies, and fudge. Yummy!

I don't have a SO, so it makes it hard to pick out a gift if you don't know the person. I am a good listener with a good memory, and I'm able to store lots of little facts. I try to find gifts for people that are things that they will really cherish by listening to things that are important to them.

If I had all the money in the world, I'd start with a vehicle probably a BIG manly truck, plan a trip for him to drive the truck, and end up somewhere where we could do what he likes to do best.

No money - little notes, special inexpensive things (his favorite beer, snack foods, and sweets), and his favorite home cooked meal.

I don't really want to live in a castle, but could I come visit SpaceAnJL and Magda at your castle. I'll only stay for a few days.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I was meaning to re-post this before (can't remember when, at some point the subject came up again) but I have gotten a request that reminded me, so I am somewhat randomly re-posting:

Multiple orgasms and stuff.
Ok, so here’s my thoughts and techniques on multiple orgasms for my sistren who could use it. And brethren, too, actually, because these can work for men.
For the men, I will start off by saying that ejaculation and orgasm are not necessarily the same thing. Really, they aren’t. I’m sure many men have experienced the kind of pleasure that makes them feel like jelly, and it usually isn’t typical.
First of all, I will talk about full-body orgasms. This is the kind where your whole body seizes up and your vision (in my case) goes dark. I usually feel a gathering energy/tension in the area of my sacral chakra (between the belly button and the crotch), followed by an explosion, but usually not muscles tensing. They are wonderful, and are usually what is achieved through “indirect” stimulation. Direct stimulation tends to cause the contracting of muscles, etc. Though I have found that occasionally either type can come from either stimulation.
It is my theory that, since nerve endings are everywhere, every location on the body can deliver pleasure. You just have to go after it in the correct way for a long time. Thing about it; even genital stimulation doesn’t deliver instant orgasms, so why would it happen anywhere else? You have to focus on the area. Different areas like different stimulation, depending on how you are. Many of the best areas are the ones you can bite (actually, it’s more like chewing to have the right effect) because the teeth can deliver wonderfully focused stimulation and can’t be used on more tender areas.
Alright, so here is how I view the nervous system. I am going to stress that I’ve found this thinking and technique far less effective if I am not with someone I love and trust. Trust is a big issue because you are opening yourself up to being more vulnerable in a certain way.
Alright, the nervous system runs through our whole body. All nerves are connected. Therefore, if you are focused on how it feels to be touched/rubbed/bitten/licked/sucked on and the like, really focused, you can feel the sensation spread. It can go through your whole body; your whole nervous system, which means it can trigger any nerves necessary for orgasm. It’s just nerve stimulation, anyway, really. So open your nerves, feel them firing, feel the sensation traveling, and that should leave to some mind-blowing experiences. Also, since no area gets worn out, tender, or over-stimulated, the amount of orgasms possible is virtually unlimited. And it (for me) is almost a snowball effect; the more I have, the more I’m going to have, because the more and more aroused I get. The longer you go with this, the less it takes to achieve another orgasm. Eventually, they are almost instant!
I have found that hard rubbing with the tips of fingers, gentle scratching, biting and gnawing, holding skin with teeth and flicking the tongue over it many times, and sucking softly are what works best. This is, however an area for exploration. Anything should work, as long as you find the right technique for the right area.
That is the sum of it. See? How could this be a whole book?

I'm sure glad I saved this...

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Oddly enough, I have thought about training as a sex therapist. Thing is, I'm afraid I would find myself working with sexually traumatized victims a lot, and I don't have the stomach for that. Even the friends I've had with that kind of trauma have sometimes been very hard to deal with. And at least one of them completely freaked out when I started talking about this kind of thing. She was still trying to get past a lot of things and didn't want to hear about higher intimacy. I'd love to share such things and I think the world would be a better place if everyone had a really good sex life, but I have to find the right way to do it.
Maybe I should start a Companion Training House

*edit* I have thought about writing a book. I'm not sure how I could pull it off because it seems too simple and elegant to fill a whole book. And I really doubt it would get published in these days of "You must have a PhD to be in the non-fiction section". *sigh*

Morning, all!

DancingNeko, sorry I missed the rest of the night! The Bailey's and the kiss pretty much did me in!

Thank you for that.

Morning, PR. I'm sure you may not have wanted it to come out that way, but I am slightly offended by one of your comments...the "men learning to please women to get laid more" comment...you know I have a great deal of respect for you, and love discussing things with you...this one gave me pause. You normally don't go for generalizations like that. Everything ok?

Now, to defend that statement...heroically and (hopefully) humourously!
I only have my experience to draw on, so all these statments are based on that. I have seldom had a problem getting laid. I do not consider myself "hot" nor debonair, just very lucky and somewhat skilled. I do not claim full knowledge of the inner workings of a woman's libido...but you might be hard-pressed to find anyone who can make that claim.

The first few times with any woman (except for the very first time) is a time of feeling each other out, trying to see what works and what doesn't. The same tricks do not work on everyone. So, I discovered what they liked, at first by trying and as more time passed, by asking. A few were hesitant to tell me what they wanted, and this did cause slight difficulties...and there were a few that had demands my poor body could not meet; but I did try!

But the key is communication between lovers. If you lie there sighing in disgust while he does something you do not enjoy, but say nothing, you can't really get frustrated at him. He thinks he's doing well! Talk to him, guide him in the right direction, and both parties will be happy.

I hope that was taken as it was meant to be...informative without being harsh. You know I think very highly of you, PR, and value your input on everything we do here. I just wanted to let you know that there are some guys out there who's sole purpose in life is to please their lover.

and

CK, glad to hear you aren't staying away on purpose...we do miss you here!

Truffles? *sigh* And, wait a minute...50 scoops of ice cream?!? Oh, my!

Magda, biting is good. In the right places at the right time, of course.

And there is more than enough of me to go around, my dear.

So, we need to add a large room to the castle in Ireland purely for the communal consumption of large bowls of ice cream. *scribbling down notes* No problem; can do...huge bath, big library, comfy leather chairs....

Magda, I have been in that situation...flat broke with no money to scrape together. I made a wire candle-holder for the recent ex's 21st birthday. She loved it, and it was still in a prominent place in the house until she packed it a few days ago.

SpaceAnJL...full-cream custard, fresh vanilla and creme fraiche...oh, my...

DancingNeko, we're here if you need to vent or just need a hug or two...just let us know. I hate to see people stressed and unhappy in here.

Hmm...a dungeon...might be do-able...

VerseExplorer, the castle will have several guest rooms, so feel free to visit any time!
*jotting down more notes* We're going to need a bigger island...

Wow. Sorry about that. I seem to have written a lot more than I intended. I'll go slink off and refill my coffee...be right back.

-EDIT-
SpaceAnJL, "Don'tgonearthe Castle"! Hee hee hee! Does that mean we can hire an Igor, too??

Well, I don't have an SO as such.

However, I do have a friend who goes by the nickname of Ghost, who's a self-proclaimed mad scientist, and he's into what they call "extremely large-scale model rocketry."

Specifically, the kind where you'd need to either be A) in international waters or B) working at Cape Canaveral to legally launch the suckers.

Being as materials for this sort of work can be pretty expensive, he's currently in the theortetical stages.

That said, I'd probably wind up spending the cash on buying materials, equipment, and such so we could go from the theoretical stage to the experimental stage.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Tristan, I'm sorry I offended you. I hope you know my comment was directed at the dense, sexist men who think every woman in the world should sleep with them and bow to their prowess. I seriously doubt any lover of yours has wanted or needed a vibrator, but many women find themselves buying one because their husband doesn't please them. It's the men who complain they don't get enough sex that might need to take a look at what they may be doing wrong.
I was pissed off and incoherant because of it, and I apologize.

Macavity, not sure if you've posted here before...but welcome to the Imponderables!

PR, no, I was not personally offended. I know that you were pissed, and I was trying to salvage some of the dignity of the male in your eyes. I thought that by trying to make you smile, that would prevent you from going on a rampage and forcing me to run away screaming.

I respect your opinion on all things we discuss here, and I didn't want one person to ruin your sunny disposition...but I failed, so I decided to try the humor angle... :hugs:

Unless you know how I can go back in time about 18 years with a big scary gun, I don't think there's much you can do, but I appreciate it.

OK, sorry, that gives a bad impression. I have a reason, I promise.

Morning all...wow chatty morning is it? I have to say Chris that I am somewhat reminding of a song my mother used to sing to me " everybody hates me, no body likes me, guess I'll go eat worms"...it continues with long worm eating descriptions which I will spare you. I'm sorry your experiences have made you feel the way you do and I hope you have better ones in the future, but I think it would help if you approach women with a little less " I am doomed and miserable" in your soul. It kinda bleeds out and tends to make women think you're on the rebound from a nasty divorce.I wish you good luck:)I know many a guy in the military and I will say they do think of sex more ( mainly due to the long stretches they go without) but I wouldn't say any of them feels women are only good for one thing. It may be a case of who you're hanging around with. Like attitudes tend to gravitate together.Anyway, enough said. If you'd like to chat about other topics like nice stuff to buy an SO, dream vacations, why kermit the frog was so much better with Jim Henson's voice, then ponder away, but if all you want is the ladder discussion, then maybe you could try call of the bitches chat room:)I am not trying to make you feel unwelcome, just direct you to an area you might find more to your taste. If you're ok discussing whimsical and fun stuff and all, we'd love to have you:)

SOOOOO ANYWAY...PR- I say you go right ahead and write a nice sex manual ( good descriptives by the way) and I bet you'd sell a ton. Then you could become a world famous sex advise columnist and travel the world( visiting us of course).

Tristan- I think homemade presents can be the best thing ever. Actually I truly believe it's the thought that counts. I mean that in the sense of when you get a gift that is perfect for you and it's obvious someone paid great attention to who you were before picking the gift out, the gift is wondeful whether it cost $1 or $10,000

SpaceAnJL- get your butt over to the recipe thread and post this instant missy!!!Those sound drooly and delicious!I shall even give you an instant link http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=23626&m=375548#375548

The silence of testing is oppressive in here...At least I brought my brand new copy of Finding Serenity and I have you guys to keep me company:)

Morning, MSG!
Even when I do have money, I try to make presents for certain people. There's something more "me" in giving a creation rather than a purchase. Example; last christmas I made my brother a set of steel full-gauntlets (armor) that were 'wrapped' in a hand-made, carved wooden box. He loved them, and has them on display in his 'castle' bedroom. There's no way I could have bought something like that that would have had the same impact.

Finding Serenity...I hope it helps you today!
