Topic UFC 158 George St Pierre vs Nick Diaz

Unfortunately it takes ages for fights from recent PPV cards to make their way to regular television channels and they're pretty strict about copyright take-downs if people try to post fights later on youtube, for example.
Over the past year or so, I think they've been pretty good about showing a lot of free fight cards on television on FX and Fox with bigger names though. Some of them are pretty decently stacked. I think that helps gain more fans, who then, after being hooked will feel compelled to shell out the $ for PPV, but in the meantime it gives the sport more visibility and nice freebies for fans.
Topic Too Slutty
Posted 17 Mar 2013 10:49
To me, there's nothing 'too slutty' as far as sexual acts, attitudes and roleplay goes (that goes for both men and women). Not everyone is sexually compatible and people are into different levels of sexual exploration and not all of it is 'classy/pretty'. That doesn't make it bad - it just means it's on a different energy and intensity level. If it's providing sexual pleasure and release and is consensually enjoyed, then anything goes. Just like human personalities - people's 'sexual personalities' vary widely. As long as nobody becomes overwhelmed or bored with their partner(s), then it's all good.
Even as far as 'promiscuity' goes - if a person is staying healthy (protected, taking care of themselves) and it's not become a point of sexual addiction where it's negatively impacting their lives, then I don't have any issue with it. The only time it becomes an issue is when someone is maliciously 'playing' someone to get laid. If everything is up front, there's no commitments or false promises - then who cares. It's just sex. It can just be for recreational pleasure too. Our biology would attest to that, despite all the social conventions and meaning we've attached to it.

I think the co-main event turned out to be more exciting than the main event on this card, but loved seeing GSP get that well deserved win.
PPV is way too expensive, agreed.
Have you ever tried the free live online streams? They're worth checking out, especially for some of the weaker cards.
Topic Marmite: YES or NO?
Posted 16 Mar 2013 09:09
I haven't tried marmite, but I have tried vegemite back when I was in Oz. It is definitely an acquired taste and not one that I think I'd be able to easily acquire...
If marmite is similar, then I think my tastebuds will take a pass.
Topic high heels
Posted 15 Mar 2013 14:46
About 4.5 inches, without. They are very sexy for sure. You can do a beautiful 'delicate' looking sandal or a sleek stiletto heel that can feel very glam.
Most of the good shoes have at least a bit of a stacked platform base though (thank god). They are much more comfortable and I think they often look better too. I dislike the super heavy platforms though, where you look like you're wearing heavy clogs with heels. It's all about proportion.
Topic High School Phone Pics = Sex Offenders for Life?
Posted 15 Mar 2013 13:01
There's a lot of inferring going on with the circumstances, ie: the boy even being a "boyfriend" of the girl. That was never stated.
Actually, that's not an inference - that's a fact, as per the article that I quoted above.
News Article ]
Students said it all started when two teenage girls sent naked photographs of themselves to their boyfriends using a Snapchat app, thinking the images would be deleted within 10 seconds, 1010 WINS’ Eileen Lehpamer reported.
The circumstances surrounding why the pics were sent isn't known (whether they were requested/coerced or proactively sent). Either scenario is possible though. Regardless, you're looking at a lapse in judgement by the girls at best and some level of relationship peer pressure at the worst. Both are common stuff when you're in high school. They're already suffering in spades for their social mistake and don't deserve further blame.
Edit: For the record, I don't believe the boys should have a 'sex offender' label either.

Topic High School Phone Pics = Sex Offenders for Life?
Posted 15 Mar 2013 10:57
The girls sent pics to a guy, because that's sometimes what girls do. We can call it stupid if we like, and yes, it probably qualifies as such. But they didn't intend on distributing their photos, the recipients are the ones that did that.
Exactly. Plus they're just teens, and they obviously assumed some level of trust with their boyfriends. Sad.. if they were a few years older, they would have ended up on those 'my ex-gf' type sites getting posted and passed around with no control. I feel bad for those girls - it's difficult to erase those footprints all because of a miscalculation of judgement and trust in the wrong person.

If the article says this:
Students said it all started when two teenage girls sent naked photographs of themselves to their boyfriends using a Snapchat app, thinking the images would be deleted within 10 seconds, 1010 WINS’ Eileen Lehpamer reported. Instead, those pictures got passed around and posted on the social networking site Instagram.
People have assumed the girls just randomly decided to take naked pics and send them off but why is everyone assuming the boyfriends weren't trying to convince the girls to send them the naked pics in the first place. That's often the way it goes, to be honest. Guy says "baby, send me pics!" or sends off a dick pic and expects naked pics in return and that starts to get the sexting thing rolling. Maybe the girls were trying to dodge it for a bit but then reluctantly end up giving in and taking pics and sending them, assuming they would be deleted in 10 seconds. Then guys, anticipating naked pics, quickly screen-capture them and pass them around.
I'm not saying that's for sure what happened, but would it change anyone's assumption if the girls were cajoled, pressured or coerced into sending them in the first place?
Topic Pudding!
Posted 14 Mar 2013 08:29
Hmm....
When I was a little kid, my neighbours had a cat named Pudding that I used to play with sometimes.
Otherwise, I think of pudding as the pre-packaged stuff I ate on elementary school trips, or the alternate option to jello in hospital cafeterias.
Topic Marriage and children - like or don't?
Posted 14 Mar 2013 06:35
If I ever write about an engagement or wedding, it's usually because one of the characters is having hot dirty sex with someone other than their fiance/hubby/bride. So in that case, it can definitely work in erotica.
Otherwise, writing about domestic things like a settled marriage, minivans and kids is very 'unsexy' to me, so I wouldn't be including them in a story, nor would I have a desire to read about it.
I guess it can work in MILF, mature or love story categories? I don't really venture into those categories but I can see why it might work as a backdrop. Maybe readers who are in that stage of life would enjoy reading about it, although in a short story it would have to be kept to a minimum just to create the distance from the action. It might work better in a novel or novella though.
Overall, I can definitely see some people wanting to read about characters they can identify with. I typically do the same as far as age/status goes with both what I read and what I write.
Topic Please do not contact us about "low" votes on your stories
Posted 14 Mar 2013 06:15
Good post, Mazza. That's exactly why I haven't set mine to require comments with votes. Often this results in a lower score, but really - the scores on the site are rather generous as a whole, so it's all relative. For example, even though my last story received an EP, I was never on the Top Author List nor did the story manage to hit the Top Stories of the Month list for more than about a day or two during both months. If one is concerned about being on those lists and getting a perfect score then the 'comment-to-vote' option might be the smartest route to take.
For me - I still think it stifles the amount of total votes and reader-friendly environment. All one has to do is look at the comment to vote ratio to get a feel for this. As another example, one of my stories has 251 votes but only 107 comments. That's a significant number of voters that didn't want to comment, yet to date that story has a score of 5.0 - so not all non-commenters are looking to vote something down. They may just not be the type to want to type out comments with everything they read or they may feel like their vote speaks for itself.
I definitely prefer a more 'open' option setting for readers. I hate to force people into doing anything or making people feel obligated to hand out 5's and glowing comments for fear of hurt feelings or reprisal from jilted authors and their friends. That might mean taking a few lumps with your scores now and then, but overall I think there's more positives than negatives.

There is something called "Labia Stretching" for those girls that want a little more lettuce in their salad bowl. I believe it's like a body modification thing used in certain cultures and in some BDSM circles. http://www.labiastretching.com/

Huh? Those don't have much in common with boobs. They don't weigh enough to get pulled down much with gravity.
I didn't mean getting pulled down. More that breasts begin to sag because skin loses elasticity (as you age). So does the face, skin under the arms, and anywhere where there is looser skin to start with. If a female has large labia (naturally), then I assume this skin ages as well so it might be thinner/droopier etc. Like when they say old men get saggy balls. I'm sure the pussy undergoes it's own kind of 'transformation' via the aging process... (wow, this whole post is giving me bad visuals.. lol).
Topic Do you REALLY like when he cums on your face?
Posted 13 Mar 2013 05:16
It depends. It fits with some kinds of sex, like power exchanges or a certain tempo of intensity when I want to feel dirty and slutty. Then it works. It's almost like a certain sexual mindset but the guy (and the sex) has to build me up to wanting it. Then it's really hot.
If the sex is moderate, no dirty talk, nobody's breaking a sweat and the guy is just mindlessly pumping along and then expects to pull out and go for the money shot facial... uhmmm no... That doesn't work. It's gotta be earned and feel natural based on the sexual interplay preceding it.
As well, if a guy wanted to do this all the time , it would be a problem. You've gotta mix it up. But now and then, when it vibes with the sex, for sure it can be sexy.

And of course, UrbanDictionary has references to such.
Trimming the lettuce just took on a new meaning for me. Thanks Ash, life just became interesting again.
I once had a friend bring these terms up during some fun girls' night convo. They're good ones too! :)
Burger in the Bun
Inner Labia that you can barely see, they're sort of swallowed by the outer labia. Like a hamburger that has a large bun but a small patty inside. The opposite of burger out of the bun
Once I took her panties off I realized that she had "burger in the bun".
Burger out of the Bun
Large floppy labia that hang "out of the bun". Like a hamburger that has meat patties that hang outside. The opposite is burger in the bun.

I don't think the size and length of meat curtains change with the amount of sex you have.
I haven't seen old pussy (and I would like to put this off for as long as humanly possible in life.. so please don't send me links, to those that enjoy them lol), but I would think that age would affect elasticity and suppleness of skin down below as well, so maybe it makes them look more pronounced than they would have been when a woman is younger??
That's my best guess, based on what all skin naturally does. Look at what happens to a woman's face and breasts as she gets older. Chances are good that her pussy lettuce is going to end up looking a little wilted too.
Topic The smell of WHAT????

The commercial video is hilarious. Looks like it's eau de sweaty pussy. Love the cinematic ending when the guy is smelling his fingers like a perve. I can't imagine anyone buying this to wear in public, although it's great as a gag gift.
This is also probably ideal for creepy guys that can't get laid so instead they can just spray this onto their fingers and sniff or douse their fleshlight with it and enjoy the fragrant fruits of their imaginations.
Or cheating guys can keep it on hand as way to get out of a tight jam. "You stink of pussy! Where were you tonight??" "Relax honey, I wasn't fucking around. It's just my new Vulva cologne."
Topic I am hung up on the Jodi Arias murder trial...
Posted 11 Mar 2013 20:28
When i first started watching this trial i felt the same as everyone else, she's a murdering bitch! Hang her now!. Today, after everything i've reviewed i just think this shit could have been avoided had the correct course of action/decisions been taken/made. As far as intent to kill? i think the evidence they have would be a lot more definitive than what it is, as far as proving premed. I would not find her guilty of premeditated murder, sorry.
Out of curiousity, how would you feel if this was your older sister on trial?
Re premeditation. It's on record that her defense team tried to plea bargain her down to second-degree murder to avoid trial and Martinez rejected the offer. Plea bargains mean that you're willing to cop to a lesser offense than what you actually did and what you think can reasonably be proven in court. Whether they can prove first degree with the evidence they're allowed to bring into trial is another matter, but let's be real - if her story was legit on any level, you're not going to try to plea bargain up to a worse charge than what you know you're actually guilty of.
If she was my sister, I would quietly support her in her process through the judicial system because she was my blood. That wouldn't change regardless of premeditation or not.
I also don't have a witch hunt mentality with her, I knew nothing of the case until recently and didn't really have a vested interest in either side. To me, looking at the facts, I believe it's first degree (but not death penalty). I started paying attention to the case because it's rare to see a defendant take the stand in a trial like this so that's when I picked it up on youtube when I get a bit of time. I find the art of cross examination fascinating (although not a huge fan of this prosecutor's style). As well, my 'non-erotic writing' deals with themes of female sociopathy and crime so the psychological dynamic of this case is interesting to me for other reasons. But on a human level, it's a tragic story for all parties involved.

From what i understand she never argued back, Doll. You would be more accurate to say 'i was once capable of being an abusive person' ( verbally). That was from watching my Dad, being a blue collar grunt, reacting instead of thinking. I'm the Man you're the woman i'm the boss, what i say goes. Actually, it was a one time incident with her, she made her point and i accepted it. Some girls out there seem to not have a problem witgh being yelled at, ridiculed, and slapped around by thier husbands , boyfriends.
I wouldn't say i got help for my problems, i would say that i grew and devloped into a better person through the concept of thought and understanding. Give it a try and see how it goes for yourself if you like.
Ps. that article that you refered me to? with the boxes and 9mm? also said she's a witch and reminds the journalist of Regan McNeil.
Demons made her do it.
I didn't really read the article. Just wanted to find a fact point about the gun to show you because you asked. It was randomly selected.
And... I've done some charity work in the realm of violence against women, child abuse and battered women. I'd be the first person to back her if there was credibility to her claims. I've also read similar sentiments coming from experts in the field of battered women and battered women's syndrome (as it's used as legal defense). Show me the evidence. Until then, coming from a proven pathological liar like her - sorry, cry me a river.

yes, and abuse can be physical and or psychological. I've been with women that can't handle even being yelled at due to past abusive relationships. This one woman would cover hear ears and curl into a fetal position when i raised my voice to her. Later she would tell me " I've been thru this shit before and i'm not going thru it again" I brought my points to an older female co worker at the time , seeking her advice. She pointed out to me that even though we may be a couple, the fact is that i don't own this woman, she's not my property, i don't have the right to treat her anyway i want. Get the picture?
But, i wouldn't expect uneducated, pipefitters, carpenter's, roofers, other tradesman, and the type of women that would date these types to understand this.
Seeing two people have a 15 minute argument over a backpack being too heavy isn't proof of abuse, as a psychological condition. It's proof of an argument. You cannot extrapolate that incident (especially as it was described) to imply she was being psychologically abused by the guy. You need to look at the evidence as it's presented.
By applying the same logic, if I was standing there that day and saw you yell at that woman, by virtue of witnessing that event, it's reasonable for me to extrapolate that you are an abusive man, right? I could even testify to this moment in court if it ever came up and it would look pretty damn bad for you. Although really, if you needed to have it explained to you by an outside party that yelling at a woman while she curls into the fetal position and covers her ears is a bad thing, you're hardly the one to throw stones at 'carpenters' and 'pipefitters'... I'm glad you got help for your problems though.
