Ladies Please review my profile...
Posted: 11/27/2009 9:36:17 AM
Add some interests. Get a couple of other photo's up.
For your about me section.
My friends and fellow employees think that I am a blast to be around

^^^ Well, what makes you "a Blast" to be around? expand on that. Also, you should try adding other things as well, if you have any hobbies, what you like to do in your spare time, if you have any future goals, Things you would eventually like to do in life.

Is there any after hours clinic's where he could get that checked out? Up here we have them so that if you need something checked out but isn't classified as an emergency, then they are available to go to. If not, then trying any of the above suggestions will hopefully help.
best of luck to him.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this thread was not posted to discuss the anatomical science of the anus. It was , however, written to discuss experiences about giving/receiving Anal Sex.
Here, ill even quote it for you in case you've forgotten .(because we all know how our memory's go with old age)

I've always been intrigued by a woman giving it to me in the ass with a strap-on. It's something about the shift of power from the man to the woman that makes it so appealing.

Tell me your anal adventures with women, have you ever had a girl stick a carrot or rubber dolphin****in your ass?


Well would you look at that! No mention on discussing the circumference of the penis vs the circumference of the anus.

If you want to discuss that scientifically, there IS a forum for just that.

review my profile please
Posted: 11/23/2009 4:18:02 PM
Its...not fantastic and could use quite a bit of work. I wouldn't put down anything about past relationships. From a woman's point of view, that's a turn off. Get another couple of pictures up.(perhaps of you smiling?) try to put down some things that you see attractive in a woman(not in looks, but personality wise and what-not). You should expand on your interests, do you have any hobbies? Any other interests then what you have down? Any goals for the future?

What is proper timing for cell? IM? date?
Posted: 11/22/2009 4:14:41 PM
It really all depends on the person. I started talking to this guy a few weeks ago, the first night we started talking i added him on msn, then that very same night we spoke on the phone. Since then we talk on the phone almost every night and never run out of things to talk about and since he lives in a different city just over an hour away we've yet to meet.
Like i said, it really all depends on the person.
Depending on the vibes you get from them, it could take you a week or a few days to meet and it may take longer.

Good Luck

agreed. I
But what about when he was saying that having anal sex was a mess? Is he not in fact the pot calling the kettle black when he thus goes on to inform us that he enjoys putting his mouth and tongue on something where bowel movements exit and is yet so apposed to actual penetration because of said mess?

Yes, i did judge. But at least even if i am apposed to something I can still be open minded and say Yes, it could be very pleasurable for some people, but it is just not for me or in my comfort zone instead of calling women (or men) undignified and without respect for doing what feels good to them.

If some one does not agree with you he is ignorant. All I said I don't like or I have anal.

You aren't even open to the possibility of it. Maybe your afraid you might actually enjoy it ?
So what your saying, is that anyone who likes anal penetration is not dignified and are without respect?


you get the urge to Fart what do you do?

Well, I've never had the urge to pass gas when I've received anal sex. The only think I've experienced from it was intense pleasure and the most amazing orgasm.

Someone who isn't even open to the idea , not necessarily agree, but at least open to the idea that it could be a very pleasurable experience, yes i call them ignorant. It is indeed NOT a degrading act and it does not leave someone less dignified or without respect.

What to do
Posted: 11/20/2009 10:19:16 PM
Ahh but siblings will always give the "third degree" when it comes to their siblings. lol even my own sister will always rip on me for who i date and practically interrogate whoever i'm dating at the time and has the privilege to come to any family function. But definitely ask her out if your interested in her. She may be the shy type who is just waiting for you to do just that. Who knows, She may be the type who is too shy to ask someone out herself and might think that you may think that she's "too young" for you.


Edit- Woah! no where did the OP say anything bad about his divorce. Just because two people are divorcing doesn't mean it wasn't a mutual agreement(Ie: they may have just fell out of love or some other scenario) Its obvious that there were problems in the marriage or they wouldn't be getting a divorce, but at least he's not ranting about what a B!tch his ex was like i see so many others do in the forums.

LMAO
Oh man did that ever make me giggle LOL. Like you DAVE i had to re-read that over quite a few times to really understand what he was saying.

Its like im always saying, Ignorant people will write ignorant(and sometimes non-legible) posts. I don't think he gets that were not just discussing female anal play, but also male anal play. Some guys love having a woman "give it to them" and some men think its a gay act. IMHO they are very closed minded people who cannot even admit that it could be a very intense(and atleast one of the best) orgasms they would have received. Although it could be that they are uneducated(and i don't mean schooling) in the fact that there are other anal toys other then a dildo , strap on and bum plugs.

sepperated and getting a divorce IMO not a big deal. Is this friend a woman or a brother to said woman who you want to ask out? If you two had started seeing each other you have to ask yourself, "Am i willing to travel 40 minutes away to see this woman and would she do the same?" 9 years difference isn't a big deal either. In my experience(and im only 23) I've dated guys older then you are lol So definitely not too much of an age difference.
Ask her out. The worse thing that can happen is that she says no right? Only then(if she does say yes, and i do wish you all the luck with that) can you talk about the 40 minute distance between you guys.

Why woman with strap can't he find the real thing.

Its called BOB- Bend Over Boyfriend play. Just because a man likes anal play(be it fingers or some type of toy) doesn't mean that he needs to find another man to do it with if his SO is as open minded and as adventurous as he is.

The anus is designed for intake it only designed for shooting shit and Gas.
Who wants to put his penis into shit. Did you look at it after you pull out
soaked with this yellow stuff smelling Sulfur, How can you stand the smell.

As someone who has received and given anal sex, i can attest to the fact that there is no smell(unless you just had a bowel movement before indulging in anal sex and that would be a little bit gross) and if you or your partner(whoever is on the receiving end) are clean and its been more then just a couple of hours or so after said bowel movement, there is not much if any mess to clean up..(other then the obvious proper cleaning of said penis or toy before using them for any other type of play)

If you make a survey 99% of women would not touch the dam thing only
sexually undefined so called women can do. Those women has a small penis

I would love to know where you got the impression(and/or statistics) that only 1% of the female population likes to give/receive anal sex. I'm sure that you cannot speak the female population. So your saying that said women have a small penis. I call that being very open minded. (Then again, us women who have a "small penis", I'd call that a clitoris)

Your entitled to your opinion, but do yourself a favor, don't reply to a thread if your going to be totally ignorant on the subject at hand. I'm sure you wouldn't be so closed minded if you had experienced an incredibly intense orgasm from anal play.

I also have to ask, are you setting up a double standard for yourself ? Do you like giving your SO anal play and are so apposed to receiving it yourself ?

lol i saw the title of the thread and all i was able to think of was "Bend over... and take it like a man" LOL
I dated two different guys who loved ass play. They loved taking it and i loved giving it just as much. Its all about one's comfort zone. There are some guys(and not just gay men) who like getting anal and there are some who just like finger play, then there are the closed minded ones who think that its a gay act. Like i said, its all about what your comfortable with.

Women who don't shave
Posted: 11/20/2009 5:12:30 PM
^^^^ that made me giggle lol

I shave, i'v always preferred to being completely hairless from the neck down lol If not shaved in the nether regions then at least a very short trim. I like my men to be the same way- I'd rather not be picking things out of my teeth or gag on a piece of hair when i'm going down on a guy.

8 month old up through the night again
Posted: 11/17/2009 8:10:30 PM
I co slept with my son too off and on for the first couple of months... even now when he's not feeling very good after a vaccine he gets to sleep with his mama. But he's learned that he has his own bed to sleep in and mama has her own. I understand what your saying and i really do appreciate your opinion along with everyone else's :)

On the lighter side of things- he finally slept through the night last night. Yay! Though it could have just been a fluke, I am trying the no cereal just before bed, he had a full bottle, so im hoping he'll sleep through again tonight.(Off topic- he said his first word last week, i was pretty excited, got it on video lol)

birthing stories!!!
Posted: 11/17/2009 5:56:46 AM
I was able to walk around after getting the pitocin and having my waters broke. I was told that it helps getting you dilated faster. In fact they encourage you(at the hospital i was at) to walk around, you just obviously can't leave the L&D floor. Different hospitals different policy's maybe?

birthing stories!!!
Posted: 11/17/2009 5:42:40 AM
LOL my goodness , some of these stories are hilarious.
I think im in the running for one of the easiest pregnancy/delivery. Didn't find I was preggers until i was 5 months along(no morning sickness, nothing. I had actually lost a significant 37lbs in the first 4 months and only gained 22lbs). My son was 11 days late. I had my last profile done on a monday(in which i got a couple of lovely 4D pictures of him) the next day the hospital called me at about 11:30 in the morning to let me know i could go in anytime to be induced. My doctor(who i hope i have again if i have any more children later on) broke my water at 6:20 that evening , I swear i had an entire lake in there, it was like i flooded the floor lol they made me walk around for about an hour(after i was fitted with a lovely IV of pitocin(sp?) and saline.
I was pretty adamant that i was not having an epidural or drugs of any kind. Just under 3 hours later and non-stop contractions that didn't go every 4 or 5 minutes, it was like one big long contraction I practically begged for some type of pain meds. Got a needle on the ass of Demerol(which by the way did nothing to kill some of the pain and only made me really high which was not a pleasant experience). At about 10 that night my nurse(She was absolutely fantastic, as were all of my L&D nurses were) and I had a long 1/2 hour chat about why i didn't want an epidural lol I finally ended up getting one 4 hours after the start of my labor.
I slept for the rest of my labor. All in all it took just over 11 hours and at 5:09 Wednesday morning I had my beautiful baby boy who was weighed in at 8.2lbs. It only took me 15 minutes to push him out. There was a lady in the room across the hall from me, we fully dilated(sp?) at the same time and our boys were born 15 minutes appart. lol my doctor had enough time to finish with her, clean herself up real fast to come over to my room and deliver my son.

Anyone had to subject a child 6 or older to surgery?
Posted: 11/17/2009 4:13:41 AM
My son has never had to have any surgeries, But I can kind of speak from experiences, i had 16 ops myself before the age of 8. I'd probably try and explain to him what he has and why he needs the surgery (as nappy had suggested) just like my mum had done for me when i was little. I would make it as simple as possible though and not use too much medical jargon.

8 month old up through the night again
Posted: 11/15/2009 5:05:13 PM
Lansmom - I agree, i'v never let him cry for more then 15 minutes and certainly not not for an hour. I breastfed him as much as i could for the first6 and 1/2 months and supplemented with formula since he was born because i just wasn't producing enough milk.
I have a nightlight in his room, its not very bright, but its so that his room isn't entirely pitch dark.
As for what he's eating through the day, breakfast he eats a variety of things, cereal, a bottle, a little bit of scrambled eggs and a piece of toast with homemade Jam and thinly sliced fruit. then he usually snacks on some fruit and dry multi grained cheerio's before he goes down for a nap. He wont sleep for more then an hour and 1/2. For lunch, grilled cheese(which he absolutely adores) veggie soup with chicken and usually homemade apple sauce with a different fruit in it as well. since he's eating pretty much everything that an adult can eat its a variety of things- veggies, fruit , pasta, beef, pork or chicken/turkey. A bottle and cereal before bed. He wont take a pacifier at night, though he'll take one during the day, but he usually just play's with it lol. He's dry about 95% of the time when he wakes up.
I was just pretty surprised when he started waking up through the night again. I'v tried changing his routine a bit, but nothing has seemed to help yet.

8 month old up through the night again
Posted: 11/14/2009 8:36:19 PM
I'v been trying to give him more in the evening before he goes to bed.. but he wont eat anymore then roughly 4/3 cup of cereal and around 3/4 to a full 8 oz bottle. I'v also tried putting him to bed later... but that didn't work either.
Thanks for the advice, I think im just going to sum it up as a late growth spurt and ill try the gripe water with his bottle before bed. I miss getting a full nights sleep lol... was nice while it lasted lol

well, thats what i was thinking , but i remember the nurse telling me that growth spurts happens at 3 month and 6 months ( i don't remember the others). He is incredibly active now, he's crawling, sitting up by himself and for the last month he's been pulling himself up in front of furniture and cruses along in front of it , I just thought that i may have been doing something wrong, like i wasn't feeding him enough during the day.(and he's constantly eating something lol)

edit- yeah, he is teething, He's been teething for the past 3 months, but nothing has broken through yet

8 month old up through the night again
Posted: 11/14/2009 6:33:11 PM
My son started sleeping through the night at 5 months. When he turned 7 months he started waking up once a night again, usually between midnight and 1am.
Now at 8 months he's still getting up once a night no matter what time i put him to bed.
He's up in the morning usualy between 7:30-8, has a pretty big breakfast then he naps for about an hour and 1/2 through the day between 11 and 1 has his lunch... a snack then dinner, then finaly before bed an 8oz bottle of formula and a bit of cereal after his bath. Now when he gets up through the night he'll eat an entire 8 oz bottle.

Does anyone have any tips on how i can get him back to sleeping through the night again?

Condoning Atheism.
Posted: 11/9/2009 9:24:31 PM
Well.. that's just one children's version of the bible. My cousin 6 provinces away sent up a big box of things last year for an early baby shower gift. Lo and behold there was a children's bible. It was an 11 paged cardboard book covered in brown fuzzy material and on the front of the book it looked like a bear(had little ears that stuck out a bit too), now im not religious but i think its very cute. Thankfully i read the thing before i read it to my son and luckily there was no stories about burning in the eternal flames of hell. What I did like about it , it's called "Tiny Bear's Bible" , was that the stories all rhymed and were no more then 10 sentences or less.

I agree though, most Children's Edition bibles shouldn't be given to them at all, I have one from way back when i was 10 or 11 from my grandmother, If i would have gotten that a lot earlier.. it would have scarred the hell out of me too.

Baby loves every food I've given him!!
Posted: 11/6/2009 2:57:50 PM
when i started out my son on potatoes... i started him out on sweet potatoes when he was 5 months ( he had been on rice and oat cereal since he was three months.. and formula/breast milk just wasn't filling enough) now at almost 8 months(in just a few days) he eats almost everything and anything... when he was on strictly puree's i made my own, which i found was cheaper to do then buying baby food which gave him a lot more variety then they have on the shelves.

^^^^ I agree with terbear .. the things you said in the "first date" section should be in your "about me" section. When you actually do write something up for the "first date" then it could be something along the lines of what you could see yourself doing on a first date, whether its coffee, a movie or whatever.

do young women lust after older men?? or is this a mith??
Posted: 10/29/2009 1:43:36 PM

i once went out with a lady 22years my junior and we fell in live but it wasn't to be, because i was married.

Now.. its not the age difference that bothers me... but. come on, you were married. Maybe you should have waited until you weren't married then maybe something would have came of it. A statement like that bugs the hell out of me.. does commitment not mean anything anymore ?
Anyways.. aside from that, your welcome. Some women(and men) have a preference for dating older people and vise versa. I mean, look at Celine Dion and her husband Rene, there's a 26 year age difference.( sorry, their the only people i can think of with a huge age gap and are still married lol) So some can make it work.. and with others.. there's not a hope in hell that their relationship will last.

lol that i understand wazhiz ... but i didn't notice him asking about a particular age LOL .. so if indeed he was asking about his own age.. then yeah no, i wouldn't date anyone who was 50... nor anyone who was in their 40's .... 37(as of right now) is as high as ill go.

Then again there are women in their 20's who will date the "much" older guys.

for msg 2 - Before you start jumpin in and start replying for all us "female yougin's" how about you stop yourself short and just answer for yourself. ( you know i really don't see how one person can answer for every young female..)

Op, im 22 and I'v dated guys my age and i'v also dated guys much older then I, the oldest guy i'v dated was 36 at the time and others have ranged in between 22 and 36. IMO its like dating any other guy, you'v got to be attracted to them, have some things in common(or not lol). Speaking for myself, i find that older guys/men that i'v dated are more "grounded", they don't want to party all the time ( and yes i know that not every guy around my age wants to party all the time as well)
As for the sex aspect of dating older guys... i find they have more experience, and there not all that quick when it comes to foreplay. I find its much better then with guys my age who don't last nearly as long lol :)

I also think that when they have Sex Ed in school, they should have speakers come in who were Teen Parents and speak about this issue. To let them know what kind of life their facing if they have a baby in their teenage years.

I was watching an old episode Maury Povich(sp?) online the other day when i had read this thread and after i had gone on to the ehealthforums. It was one of the many episodes that Maury had done to give kids(pre-teen to teenager) an eye opener. They had sent them off to a sort of boot camp where they had to take care of actual live babies(instead of the dolls).
I believe they should have that kind of program accessible to teens and pre-teens who want to have a baby, and who are planning to get pregnant. To give them an idea of what it would be like to have a baby while still in HS with absolutely no education(HS diploma is better then nothing.. but don't get me wrong.. further education is better then just HS).

There was one poster on that forum i was looking at (thanks Futureshock for posting that site) she stated that she didn't care who would be looking after the baby while she was at school. None of these girls realize the cost, not just about food, clothing and diapers, but also about Childcare costs. there was another poster actually encouraging these girls to have their baby's and to plan to get pregnant. She stated this bogus fact on how its "riskier" to have babies when your in your 20's rather then your teens, something about genetic mutation. (I think she was referring to the fact that its "riskier" to have them when your over 40... but i wouldn't quote myself on that fact)

I also believe that a lot has to do with how the media is portraying this. A lot of celebrities are having kids now and the media makes having a baby look "so easy".

To baptise.. or not..
Posted: 10/13/2009 7:31:05 PM
I was baptised ... My child is not. My mother and i had a long argument about it one day. I'm not religious and I don't believe in god. I will teach my son about all the different kinds of religions out there and make sure he has adequate information about each. If he chooses to be religious, then i would rather him pick his own religion to follow.

Teenager determined to get pregnant?

I went on to ehealthforum last night and i couldn't believe my eyes. One thread was a 12 yr old girl who found out she was pregnant. Why would any 12 yr old be even thinking about sex ????? At 12 yrs old, Sex was far from my mind, I was thinking about school dances, weekends and summer vacation.
There were numerous threads from 13-16 year old's who wanted to get pregnant.
Its very sad to see that children at 13 want to have a baby. There were a few who stated that their school are some type of a program in which they could bring their babies to school with them.
I think they should have more then just Sex Ed and teaching about safe sex. They should break it down even more and tell them "this is whats going to happen if you get pregnant right now"... and let them know the cost and that any free time away from school will not be theirs anymore(if they even finish school). I agree with the doll concept, But i think they should have to "take care" of the doll for at least 3 weeks or more to let them really know how it would be if that was their real child.

would you cut a single parent slack for having a messy house?
Posted: 10/7/2009 8:08:10 PM
LOL i bet... but i kind of understand where your coming from.. im the youngest of 7 kids( 3 lives with my dad, and 2 with my mum.. the other two kids were already out on their own when i was born lol) when i was living with my mum.. lol there's always a few things out of place. If i was at my sisters(at my dad's wife's place, who would be considered single since he didn't live with her) which was very few and far in between visits .. it was NASTY. Just down right filthy.. the kitchen looked like it hadn't had a good cleaning in a couple of months(or longer) .. same with the living room/dining room.. upstairs.. and both bathrooms.. It was just plain Dirty. I applaud my mum with instilling good hygiene and cleaning skills. I couldn't fathom not having a "clean"(with the exclusion of a bit of mess) house.. or letting something go for more then a day or two. I can cut a single parent some slack for having a bit of clutter/mess in their house... but not for having their house dirty/filthy. I don't find any excuse for that.

^^^^ I Agree... there's no excuse as to why you can't keep your house relatively clean, You know the usual, dishes done, bathroom clean, clothes picked up and mostly everything else put away in its place. That's just pure laziness if you can't keep up with that much.

I always make sure my house is in relative order, but i'm not going to freak out if i forgot to pick up a pair of socks... or put away a stack of movies at the end of the night.... and I always find one or two toys hanging around somewhere lol. You can always get someone to watch the kids once a week for a couple of hours if you can't get much of the big cleaning done during the week(floors... laundry and things like that). I know thats what i do, My mum takes my son Saturday 's in the afternoon every week so i can give my floors a good scrubbing and make sure everything is in its place.. and just give the house a good scrub down, other then what i do everyday. Its not hard to keep up if you really tried.

Just wondering how others feel about body art
Posted: 10/4/2009 10:11:49 AM
I love tattoo's... I have two myself, but i am currently spending an hour or two almost every night working on a pretty big back piece to incorporate the two i already have. but a good portion ranging from the middle of my back to partially on my right shoulder. I don't care what anyone thinks about it because im doing it for me and me alone because everything incorporated into it has deep meaning for me.

I find neck tattoos(except for nape of the neck) are distasteful but its not on me so i could care less. People are either going to like tattoo's or they wont. To each their own.

Single parents, are they abusing the welfare system?
Posted: 9/23/2009 7:04:50 PM
Tealwood.. Its funny how you left the other part my post out...
IM not working because im on maternity leave... and because EI Maternity benefits are only 55% of what you made at your last job(or 600+ hours in total if you have never been on EI before for any reason.) It would have been impossible to pay rent/bills and make sure i was able to buy what i needed for my son. So... i don't get the full 809 from Social assistance ... i only get $100 extra a month. I don't have a problem asking for help from them because i know i wont be in the system for more then a couple of years while i get my degree and my business up and running.

I've seen more people come through the social development office who don't have kids, are substance abusers all all they do is spend their checks on their habit then i have seen of single parents.

Well i shouldn't have to justify myself.. but i will anyways. My pregnancy wasn't planned.. it was an accident(and before all you people go ahead and tell me that i shouldn't have gotten an abortion or put him up for adoption.. I don't believe in abortions, for myself, and I didn't want to give my son up to strangers.)
Future.. I didn't know what i wanted to do as a career and i kept procrastinating and making excuses because all i wanted to do was work a low end job and party 6 out of 7 days of the week and then some. So when i had my son i started thinking about my future seriously for once. If it wasn't for my little bundle of joy, I'd be barely getting by after paying rent and spending my money left right and center at the bar.

Edit- I agree with Tito ^^^... the system is getting tighter... you have to meet a lot more requirements now... and the caseworkers work a lot more with you to get you out of the system and make sure you have the skills and education needed so you don't fall back into the system.

Guys *must* bother women who aren't interested?
Posted: 9/22/2009 8:38:22 PM
Maybe its the way men approach us ?
I know i don't like it when out of the blue someone comes up from behind to hug me.. i turn around and have no idea who it is... and then they get offended by me telling them not to hug me because I don't know who the F they are lol ....

That's definitely it... the whole approach. but really OP .. are you speaking of clubs, parties, and other social situations, or are you not only talking about that and here on POF ?

Its not as if you know the person... why not try the friendly approach - and i don't mean going up and beginning a conversation like "hey baby".. because that kind of insinuates that you have just one thing on your mind.... unless that's all your after that night lol You might as well just play it by ear.. and if you get the "Vibe" that she's not interested or anything other tell-tale signs, then why wouldn't you quit buggin her?
