Who the fuck designed iPod headphones?
I know Apple are all about perceived obsolesence and making you want the new, "upgraded" version of the product you've already got about 3 months after it was brand new itself. But headphones designed to fling themselves out of the wearer's ear? That's just unbelievably cunty.

Grr. What cataclysmic design flaws have got your goat lately?

Put it this way
When you see someone get kicked in the bollocks, hard, on TV or in a film, and all the men wince, the vast majority are wincing in projected pain. Very few people know what it's like to be kicked full in the bollocks, but knowing what a slight knock feels like makes us imagine a proper clobbering is the worst thing in the history of the world

well it keeps my options down sadly
it's a bit bewildering how anyone could have sex with someone (which is pretty intimate) and yet after having done something that leaves you physically and mentally exposed to some extent, not trust them enough to say what went wrong. But then I'm an old-fashioned sort

But I'm so bad at making people feel bad. I can't say no (that's given me plenty of problems) and I can't tell someone that he's just not good at that and we should try other things. I know that would be the fair thing to do, but they always look so dissapointed... It's like hitting a puppy.

You're obviously a very kind, generous person
But Amberl is right, sex has to be entirely mutual or it just won't be, y'know, proper sex. No way are you going to enjoy yourself if you don't REALLY want to be doing it in the first place
(, Wed 21 Apr 2010, 14:59, Reply)
Oh, but I do enjoy it
It was only that bit that I couldn't understand why it was so important, as I didn't feel anything. Everything else was very good.

My actual boyfriend has had me shivering, literally (and I mean literally), unable to control the movement of my body, to the point of breaking on laughing, unable to stop, just because it feels so good everywhere, from toes to head.

I wouldn't have sex twice with a guy if he doesn't make me come at least once.

It's good to teach children these important life skills
Sex-Ed would have been a lot more helpful if, instead of just showing us how to roll condoms over bananas (I'm sure they chose huge bananas to make us feel adequate...), the slightly embarrassed male teacher had just locked the door and said,
"Look lads, it's quite simple: use a condom, it'll spare you a world of misery. See this picture - yep, that's what they really look like, just remember the clitoris is there - pay attention, Jenkins, this is important! Boobs are terrific fun but be careful with nipples - try tweaking your own if you need a guide. On a first date, don't ask if she takes it up the arse, and if you do make it as far as the bedroom then err on the side of caution as she won't enjoy being slapped across the face with your turgid cock.
