Are there seriously people around that have never heard of Stronger? That song was played on every radio station, shopping mall, gym and in every mainstream bar and club non-stop back in the day. For at least two years straight I was hearing it at least once a day somewhere - not kidding. Good tune. Brings back some memories.



Personally I've always had a soft spot for his song, 'Amazing'. Gold Digger is an obvious mainstream classic as well, but 'Amazing' just has that vibe.

And this is coming from a girl that doesn't really listen to much hip hop.

And ok... huge admission - I have been to a Kanye concert. Yeah, I know - I can hear your collective screams. Someone took me and it was free. He does put on a good show - from what I remember anyway, I was really drunk that night.
I prefer average length and girth. Proportional. I don't want to gape or get wrecked or end up with a pink sock. For me, there is such a thing as 'too big for anal'.
I support the Marmite ban... innocent toast slices everywhere can now breath a sigh of relief. That is some scary-tasting spread.

I've never heard of Irn Bru, but if it contains uppers, I want some!
He spent the night in jail before that court appointment yet his hair still looks style-pouffed. Damn, what kind of hair gel does this kid use?


I'd vote for detail, however it can depend a lot on the story.

As an aside - I'm actually struggling with this right now with a new piece I'm working on. It's a lot more contextual and psychological and spans a considerable amount of time with multiple sex scenes. I'd initially intended it as a stand alone story because I've seen multi-part stories suffer with views. I think some people see the ominous "Part One, Part Two" in a title and skip over it in favour of something that involves less of a time investment. Having said that, I don't want to skimp on the detail or rush anything and at 9200 words right now, I feel like I haven't devoted enough to the sex scenes. To get it just right and dial up the heat, I think I'm going to have to make it a two-parter as I delve into the second draft.

Anyway, in general, I'd give the nod to the details however unless you're writing a very stylized piece of smut, I think there needs to be equal effort put into setting the scene, giving context, developing characters. There are some stories I've read where I really believe in the characters and others where it feels like two-dimensional cardboard fuck-bots. I'll read the latter - "hey cool story" - and probably forget about it just as quickly. Then there are others where the story stays with you for a while, makes you think and you remember it even years later. Some authors (like LadyX for example) are extremely skilled at this.
Ooooh, this could get dangerous! *runs off to make wish list*

Congrats to Lush and Nicola on making this dream a reality! Very exciting times!

I make my own beetroot chips, they are delicious.


Oooh... I've never even heard of beetroot chips! Might even be a palatable way for me to handle actually eating beets.
There aren't many veggies I don't like, but I've never quite found a taste for beets and radishes. 'Chipped' might be a whole different story though. smile
So... was just thinking on this a bit more and had a thought - is she into dirty talk when you are together and is she verbal during sex? Because if she's uncomfortable with that and is more of a silent type, that can also explain why she's trying to avoid the sexting thing. Some people feel awkward verbally expressing themselves that way or 'trying to sound sexy'. If she told you she was basically just doing it in the beginning to keep you happy and out of fear of losing you, then now... several years later... she's likely feeling more secure in the relationship and is acting more herself (and less to impress you or keep you on the hook).

A lot of people get lazy in relationships once they've been together for a few years because they're not in 'chase' mode, they're in 'chill out' mode - and more apt to default to their natural behaviour... which in her case may be discomfort with dirty talk or being verbally seductive or provocative. Not everyone is into that kind of thing. She is more conservative than you. Also since you started out as best friends, it's probably easy (and even natural) for her to default into neutral mode again when you're apart.

I definitely think you'll have your answers once you're back in the same town and in normal dating/relationship mode again where you see each other more regularly. If she's still stand offish about sex, then you'll have a bigger decision to make on the future of the relationship. People change a lot during university years, as you said. It's possible the friendship part of the relationship (since this is where you began) is taking over the passionate part because of the distance. Since it's not too far out, I'd just hang in there see where it goes once you're both established in the same town. I guess my only caution would be to make sure she's really in it for the long haul and this is what you both want if it's going to limit where you look for jobs. I think that would be unfair to you otherwise.

Hang in there! smile
A few years ago I really got into the maxi dress, flats, oversized sunglasses thing. I still have a soft spot for them - they're really breezy and fun to wear. And let's not forget the scarf dress trend!

I love the minis too though. And casual mid-thigh summery dresses.

I'm not sure if I prefer one over the other. They all work, depending on the occasion - although I find maxis better as a casual boho/beachy kind of look or for more lowkey evenings and will more likely do a short and sexy mini hemline for nighttime, partying and going out etc.

Yes I can. If you buy it in Chinatown or in an alley it is a fake.


Yes, that's a given. eBay is more of an issue though - they often use stock photos and authenticity promises and jacked up prices. I know it's a huge issue which is why I avoid eBay like the plague. I had no idea until recently that even smaller items like cosmetics are being faked and sold as real - which is even scarier thinking people expect they're buying MAC or Dior and putting god knows what on their faces. That's to say nothing of the fake prescription drug business which are actually killing people because they think they're getting their heart meds online and it's just placebo. I would like to see major criminal charges in those cases. In person, unless you're buying from an official retailer, the buyer knows it's fake, but online businesses can be damn sketchy.

And sometimes buyers don't care - they just want the look. I know in NYC there were bills that were discussed last summer about charging fines and possible jail time for fake-goods vendors and even the bargain hunters looking for knock-offs. Canal Street and ChinaTown have always been hotbeds for it. Quite honestly I would like to see that whole industry taken down - more so because it's an eyesore on street corners and because it filters into the eBay and online criminals who are actually swindling customers and able to skirt corners without serious penalties because of international laws.

Personally, I'm not a fan of 'the look' of most of the more popular copied designer items - I hate monogrammed bags, for example. Many have been so over-copied that I feel like it actually has ruined the appeal of the authentic items as well. I tend to be drawn to the smaller trendier brands - more affordable luxury and less mass-produced. And if I am going to drop cash, I will do it at an official store or verified big company e-tailer.

I have two friends that admit they still buy fake Gucci, Prada and fake jewelry on occasion and swear by it - especially for traveling or clubbing where they don't want to worry about their real stuff getting stolen or ruined. One friend had a white Balenciaga moto bag that I have to admit looked damn good for a fake. But for me, it's like ugh - I'd know it was fake. It would bother me and I'm against the ethics behind it as well, so I've stayed away from the whole scene. I just buy what I can afford - there's no point in pretending.

With the divorce rate as it is I sometimes wonder if it does really exist. Maybe it exists but we don't undestand what it is. Is it meant to be transient or fixed, fleeting or permanent, unique or transferable?
If it is different for every single person does it really exist or is it a state of mind?


This!

I've wondered exactly the same things - no real answers (yet).

Plus the notion of "TRUE love" implies there's a lot of 'fake love' being spread around as well. I think of the number of times someone is in love and believes "this is it" and it's real, only to break up with that person at some point and a year or two later look back on the relationship and question the whole thing.

Some people throw the L-word around rather casually (they're in love with different people every month), so it can definitely be seen as a state of mind as well. I've come to the tentative belief that real and enduring reciprocal love exists but is rare and is best recognized with time. You have to get past the initial stages of infatuation and lust to really understand what you have - and in some cases, that might take years. In the meantime, for many people the 'love-drug' is a fun high, a fleeting yet temporary fix.
No, this thread isn't about fake online profiles - it's about fake and counterfeit goods.




You've probably seen them - fake bags, shoes, rolexes, make-up. Sometimes you're told it's a replica and other times you might even risk being swindled. E-bay is a mecca for the counterfeit goods market - they are making counterfeit brand name clothing, shoes, make-up brushes, nail polish, watches and jewelry.

Back in University I remember going into this little on-campus shop where the woman would *wink wink* take you into the secret back room where there was a plethora of fake LV's, Guccis, Burberrys and D&G bags, sunglasses and watches that she'd brought into the country.

It's technically illegal in most places now (because you're ripping off the brand's copyright and costing the industry billions) but it still happens in back rooms, through contacts, and knowing the right street vendors, especially in NYC. Many people don't care if it gives them the same look at a fraction of the price. The general thought is that brand name prices are overinflated as it is and fashion is fickle. "Why pay $4K for a purse when you can get a reasonable replica for $120."

What do you think of this practice? Is it fair game 'on the sly' as long as the buyer is told it's a fake? Do you buy replicas to save same cash on pricey fashion items or do you think there should be a more serious crackdown on the fake goods market? And... should vendors and buyers be fined or criminally charged if they are caught?

One thing that's clear - if they can make it, someone else can fake it. Weigh in with your opinion!

Just once, but we'd stayed up all night and I was coming down off X and he was taking forever to orgasm (a side-effect for guys). He just kept going and going. I fell asleep for a bit and then woke up again... apparently I hadn't missed much, he was still going.

Finally told him we'd have to try again later (I was getting sore). I rolled over and napped while he continued to chafe his dick with his hand for another hour.
Better joints that track perfectly and come with indestructible cartilage and synovial fluid - because a trick knee can ruin your dreams and in general mobility is important and there are far too many people suffering with joint disorders, issues, as well as the general wear that comes with the ageing process.

I would also add a gene that stops production of body hair from the neck down on women - because it would be a waxing/shaving time saver.

Oooh, and maybe even add small but powerful wings that can emerge from the back, on demand, so we can fly and skip those nasty traffic jams.

Sexually, I could get into the benefits of things like increased spinal flexibility and longer tongues, but I digress...

i slept in my oven during the winter to keep warm.


Now I don't have to worry about a guest bedroom when you come visit!

One person just doesn't use enough dishes to warrant the use of my dishwasher though. I use it to store my cast iron lol.



For the first year I lived on my own, I used my stove as extra storage space. I understand. smile

Doll, a girl in class with me this week had one of these. (I actually went over to her and asked to look at her bottle)

My own glass that I carry daily for water died this week. I thought I might look at this to replace it. My conclusion was that it wouldn't suit my purposes, I was worried about how effectively I could clean it. I love my big hello kitty cup with the big straw. Now if I could just find a good replacement.


They are top-rack dishwasher safe. smile

The mouthpiece of the bottle is on the smaller side. You can also buy inexpensive bottle brushes on their site to clean them or use a small brush for things like baby bottles to get inside. Since it's only water I'm putting in it I don't find it difficult just using my fingers and suds on a mini-sponge or even a soaped paper towel to clean the mouthpiece inside/outside and then vigorously shake the suds into the bottle and dump/rinse. They also come in 1L sized, but I find that's too much water to carry around for me so I like the 500mls.

If you like straws - not sure if you've checked out Starbucks cups with straws? I use these for shakes and smoothies and they're great in the summer if you make those shaken iced tea lemonades etc. They're really durable and easy to clean. You just screw off the lid. They come in medium and tall sizes (the tall ones are best, especially if you like using lots of ice).

I want to make my own kale chips - which I hear is super easy. Buying pre-bought kale chips is ridiculously expensive for the amount you get in the bag.
There are these amazing bidet style toilets I've used at upscale places where there's a remote touch screen on the wall and you can specially program it to do different things. The seats warm for you, you can program gentle rhythmic pulsations with the water, stronger ones, swirly anal ones. Then it blows warm air to dry you up.

They are sooo amazing. And kind of a turn on too.

I want one.

lol!! Gotta admit, some of those holes look pretty sexy to me... ;)


LOL... the first thing I thought of when I read the title 'swiss cheese pervert' was that he was going around using his dick to punch out holes in cheese at supermarkets or something.

Although based on this pic, he'd clearly have to have a small one.
Quote by JohnC

Oh indeed, that is also true. But that was not the point of discussion. LOL What to DO about it is another thing. ;)

As for the block all who are not friends feature, I feel that in general tends to prevent good people from communicating and becoming friends. But that is just me.

The issue of keeping tight control over friends lists... again, another issue. ;)


I think (and other girls can correct me if I'm wrong) the practice of sending porn images by PM to someone that's not even on their friend list is *probably* not all that common. I consider those outliers from the norm and I'm guessing most people will agree that it's tacky and a dumb move. I can't imagine someone outside that handful of oddballs saying "it's a great way to break the ice!" lol

Personally I don't find it upsetting, more just a nuisance and occasion for an eye roll. But if someone is genuinely bothered by this, such as in your case, I naturally go into problem solving mode so I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the options available. smile
Quote by JohnC

I consider pictures posted on walls a different issue since friends do that. Nor is this an issue of a mass PM sent to a friends' list. This issue here is PMs containing porn sent to people you don't even know, or have even talked to. You pick a member that clearly states on their profile that they are not interested in that sort of thing and they are in a committed relationship where they ONLY want to see that person.... and you send them a PM with porn attached anyways.


There are oddballs all over the internet but they tend to pop up more on adult themed sites. For an anonymous PM like that, delete and block. It's the easiest fix if it's greatly upsetting to someone. There's also a function under 'settings' where only friends can send you messages. That will eliminate the problem if the person (or their online master) keeps tight control of their friend list.
Quote by JohnC
Course correction... I was not specifically (or only) talking about "selfies". I am talking ANY unsolicited porn from other members that you have not even talked to. It seems folks are focusing on "selfie" pictures and that was not the only "porn" I was talking about.

But thank you all for your posts! smile


Like nudes and dirty pics on walls or porn pics PM'd?

Yeah, I get those a lot - I think some members do a mass PM instead of posting them individually on walls. I tend to just delete without opening though. Porn doesn't offend me, but those kinds of pics/gifs can be repetitive, especially if you've never talked to the person and it's just a random collection. I tend to just skip those messages.

When someone posts dirty things on my wall, I go off the assumption that they thought I might find it an erotic pic, aesthetically interesting or that they found it sexy and decided to share. I don't interpret it as stuff they personally want to do to me or that they're creeping on me or anything like that. Just sexy pics - like clicking on someone's Tumblr etc.

Again, because it's an erotic site and not Facebook for example, my expectations are set accordingly. I know there are some members that only want fluffy kittens and sparkly cute stuff on their wall - but it's an adult oriented environment so I figure porn shouldn't be all that offensive. I enjoy provocative pics, although admittedly some might not be to my taste, so if I don't like them, I just delete.
And... what beach is this?? It is crazy gorgeous! That is the most beautiful water I've ever seen.

I like the sporty suit too. smile


Dani, I love the cut on the yellow one!

I feel strangely drawn to the fringe top trend - and I swear I never thought I'd say that. lol. They just look fun.
