As a virgin who had whacked off for +20 years before his first intercourse at 26, my problem was the opposite of the quick-finish: the stimulation of intercourse was so different to the way I had stimulated myself that I couldn’t orgasm.

Fascinating and hilarious. You might have the makings for the next “M*A*S*H” and the talent to write it.

Agreed: if he had asked her even one question about herself, thoughts, feelings, goals, etc. it wouldn’t have happened. I can understand his objection to the outright guile directed at him, but it also says something about a patriarchical society that the bride’s family had to engage in used-car-salesman-like…

It’s such a nice counterpart to a true story that an Indian friend of mine once told me about a courtship many decades ago.

Every night a young man would come over to visit the young woman who was to be his bride. Every night she would silently nod and demurely lead him into the parlor where he would talk *to* her and…

Oddly enough, I’ve been to a handful of games this year and I think this is the second time I’ve seen him lose (to someone with a very significant headstart).

Haven’t lived in the NYC area since ‘08, but always tried to stay away from the edge (admittedly harder to do these days, with ridership up, and perhaps hard to implement in an altercation)

I would also usually assay the trench and remind myself that it was deep enough to lay in as a train passes —if there’s absolutely…

If that’s your best take-away from this then you’re a partisan hack. According to the piece, McMaster “undermined” Trump once, on a single matter on which he deserved correction. Trump’s saber-rattling could threaten Soul. Charging the South Koreans for protection after we’ve incited the threat seems like a racket.

I seem to recall a recent case where someone either had their probation revoked or extended after they gave an interview or spoke to the press about something.

And text while driving....

Do you actually have any Muslim friends? I do and they don’t resemble your description in the slightest.

30+ years ago I worked with a fellow who drove a corvette with the vanity license plate “VOID”. When I asked him why, he said that if he ever got a ticket he figured the admin people would assume the officer had voided it and not processed it. I don’t know if the gambit ever worked.

Next time you’re on the expressway, count how many sets of skid marks you see. Every single set is a record of something happening that a driver didn’t expect.

Going 5 or 10 mph faster than prevailing traffic? Fine if you do it safely: not running up peoples’ asses, not cutting into and out of spaces that are only…

Like another commenter, I prefer to subtitles to dubbing for foreign films and I occasionally use them when I’m having difficulty making out dialog, but I find that if they’re on I’m locked into watching them instead of the actual scene.

While frightening as hell, a caucasian shepherd seems like overkill. How about if I just take one of the dogs, they’re massive.

Or painting the house, if the wind changes direction.

Sorry, the vagaries of reading on a smartphone —in a bad mood. I misunderstood which comment you had replied to. Apologies.

We’re supposed to tuck down in prep for a possible cra— *hard landing* and, at 6'3" that’s admittedly fairly impossible, but I would like to reduce the chance I’m going to slam my head into the seatback, break my neck and not be able to move while the plane burns around me.

Sure, you’re not gonna let the man dictate your trip, fuck that safety.

An (admittedly odd) habit of mine is surveying the brake lights of cars stopped in front of me at traffic lights. If I can do so safely I try to let people know when one or more aren’t working. Fairly often I spot cars with only one brake light.

Start with Cheney’s. And I don’t care whether it works or not.
