Depends on what I'm wearing and my mood. If I have light coloured pants/skirt, I'm obviously going to choose something nude or white or pale pink. Otherwise it just defaults to whatever colour I'm feeling like that day. I admit I tend to veer toward really bright and colourful things a lot of the time (especially thongs), even though I know black is probably considered sexiest as far as guys preferences.
With rough sex and dirty talk, it works well. It feels more raw and uninhibited and ups the intensity. That's really the only time I'll use it in real life. With erotica, I tend to reserve it to those types of scenes as well. I do use it sparingly though, because I'm aware that some people are turned off by it.
Look this up and see if your symptoms match: Chondromalacia Patella (Patellofemoral Syndrome)

It's quite common, sometimes known as runner's knee and young athletes often develop this, either do to misalignment or it can be exacerbated by chronic injuries. If you have crackling/crunching when you squat/flex, it's possible this is the scenario. There is a very quick and painless arthroscopic surgery called a chondroplasty they can do to basically 'file down' the bone spurs and clean up surface defects causing the grinding and cartilage deterioration. It's day surgery and down-time is very minimal. From there, supplements, physio and strengthening exercises/adjustments (see below) and knowing limitations is best for a long-term strategy.

------------

Chondromalacia patellae refers to the progressive erosion of the articular cartilage of the knee joint, that is the cartilage underlying the kneecap (patella) that articulates with the knee joint.

Description

Chondromalacia patellae (CMP), also known as patello-femoral pain syndrome or patello-femoral stress syndrome, is a syndrome that causes pain/discomfort at the front of the knee. It is associated with irritation or wear on the underside of the kneecap, or patella. In a normal knee, the articular cartilage is smooth and elastic and glides smoothly over the surface of the thighbone, or femur, when the knee is bent. Erosion of the cartilage roughens the surface and prevents this smooth action.
CMP is most common in adolescent females, although older people may also develop it. An average of two out of 10,000 people develop this condition, many of them runners or other athletes.

Causes and symptoms
CMP is the result of the normal aging process, overuse, injury, or uneven pressures exerted on the knee joint. In teens, CMP may be caused by uneven growth or uneven strength in the thigh muscles. Growth spurts, common in teens, may result in a mildly abnormal alignment of the patella, which increases the angle formed by the thigh and the patellar tendon (Q-angle). This condition adds to the damage. Symptoms include pain, normally around the kneecap, and a grinding sensation felt when extending the leg. The pain may radiate to the back of the knee, or it may be intermittent and brought on by squatting, kneeling, going up or down stairs, especially down, or by repeated bending of the joint.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis is established during a physical examination performed by a general practitioner or an orthopedist, and is based on frequency of symptoms and confirmed by x rays of the knee. The CMP erosion can also be seen on an MRI, although this type of scan is not routinely performed for this purpose. The patient should inform the doctor about any previous injuries to the joint.

Treatment
Initial treatment may consist of resting the knee using crutches, along with aspirin, Tylenol, or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as Motrin for seven to 10 days. The person should limit sports activity until the joint is healed and may use ice followed by heat to decrease inflammation. When the doctor allows the patient to resume sports, a knee brace may be prescribed in the form of a stabilizer with a hole at the kneecap.
Treatment also includes low impact exercises to strengthen the quadriceps muscles which help stabilize the knee joint. Physical therapy may be suggested at the start of this program so as to help the patient learn the correct method of performing the exercises.
Approximately 85% of people do well with conservative CMP treatment. The remainder still have severe pain and may require arthroscopic surgery to repair the tissues inside the knee joint. In more severe cases, open surgery may be required to realign the kneecap and perhaps other corrections.

Alternative treatments
Physical therapy offers treatments that may help CMP patients. Aqua therapy has the benefit of exercising the knee without putting stress on it and it also strengthens the thigh muscles. Biofeedback can be used to learn tensing and relaxing specific muscles to relieve pain. These techniques have the benefit of no side effects. Massage therapy might be beneficial as well. Calcium, minerals, and vitamins as part of a balanced diet will aid healing and help prevent further problems.

Prognosis
In most teens with CMP, the prognosis is excellent since the damage is reversible when treatment starts before the cartilage begins to break down. With proper treatment and preventive techniques, teenagers will complete their growth without permanent damage to the joint. Only about 15% of patients require surgical intervention. Older people may go on to develop osteoarthritis in the knee.

Prevention
Proper exercises are the best preventive measure. Since tightness of thigh muscles is a risk factor, warming up before athletic activities is recommended, as well as participating in a variety of sports rather than just one. Stretching exercises increase flexibility of the quadriceps, hip flexors, and hamstrings. Strengthening exercises such as short arc leg extensions, straight leg raises, quadriceps isometric exercises, and stationary bicycling are also recommended.
It was hard to rate some of these because I found that I had the tendency to go with my gut impression (or stereotype) when I hear these words so I had to think on a couple of them and not see them as so black and white. There's still a lot of subjectivity though - obviously the ones I rated highly, I'm still seeing more of the positive side of the coin. The ones I rated lowest have certain red-flag connotations for me that are harder to get over (gambling addiction potential, love at first sight naivete, stealing/fraud morality, dangerous sex practices implications/repercussions).

I'm not totally risk-averse on many other points though - sometimes it's worth the gamble. Certain things (attitudes/spirit) are more attractive to me than others. And at the same time you don't want Mr Safe-bot wandering through life and never willing to take a chance on anything.

I agree completely. Few occasions or outfits allow the back to be shown, so it is a rare and fancy sight. It's beautiful though not sexually provocative ; not for me at least. My reaction to it is more among the lines of "(sigh), what a fine and beautiful lady", as it exposes their vulnerability somehow. Shoulders and neck provoke a similar reaction for me, to a lesser extent.

The midriff is the exact opposite in my opinion ; it's more of a provocative cheap thrill. That's probably why a lot of guys voted for it so far, as it provokes a strong sexual response. Of course the context can change that perspective, like if it's shown on the beach or at an exotic location ; it's still going to attract attention, but will not be perceived as provocative then because it's going to be a bit more appropritate/expected.

The legs are in-between for me. They're both very elegant and sexually explicit.


Yeah, the midriff is all about being situation appropriate. At a bar or club it definitely gets attention. I've always reserved that look for certain clubs where everyone is kind of dressed semi-trashy and you're not looking to meet someone to actually date. That and beachy days, resort towns and outdoor music events.

Showing a lot of back is very sexy Ash, but especially tied into legs and cleavage. A very short, backless, plunging front, evening dress and a pair of heels combined with your most glamorous make-up, hair and jewelry should turn any man into finger putty. It sure does me. When my wife dresses like that for going out to a fancy social function or an upscale club, I really want to go ahead and take her before we're out the door.

She has a few dresses like this one you posted and she knows how I love to see her in them.



Yep... that's why I buy stuff like this too. It's like drop dead sexy without looking as obvious as something where your breasts are hanging out. You can still look classy. Plus it's the illusion of more nudity too... no bra and probably no panties. Plus when I'm backless it just feels more sensual - when there's a bit of a breeze along the spine or against the back of the neck. Or when someone puts their hand on your bare lower back as they lean in to say something to you. It's way sexier and more intimate than just having a guy staring into your cleavage while he talks.

Everyone knows that a girl's personality, to a guy, vastly improves when she has a great ass and a nice set of tits.


This girl probably has a great personality.


For some reason I've always thought the back was one of the most beautiful things to expose. I find it very sexy/classy. Next would be legs. I wasn't expecting the midriff to be as popular as it is actually. It's definitely a hot look, depending on how you wear it and where... but yeah, backless and bare legs is one of my favourite looks.

Having an affair is far different than cheating while dating, in my view. Worlds apart. My husband could break me as a human if he did that to me. I never did let someone have that power over me while I was just dating them.

Why am I pointing out the difference between the two? Because I've seen some people talk about 'cheating while dating' in the same heft as 'an affair during marriage' - and 'people always get hurt' . . . and that, really, depends on who you are.


I agree to a certain extent - but it really depends on the nature of the commitment and the people involved. I don't see a marriage certificate necessary though to feel the weight of cheating or an affair - especially in this day and age when I find a lot of people my age are more reluctant to sign the deed.

In my case we had been living together for years and were for all intents and purposes 'married' aside from the official stamp. Toward the end there were serious red flags and doubts but for some reason I still felt reluctant about parting ways. When he cheated it was, in a way, a good 'emotional last straw' as you mentioned. It was easier to end it and not consider the 'what ifs' because I lost total respect for him and the way it was handled and it was like an emotional window just slammed shut for me. It was easy to walk away, even while he was remorsefully trying to get me to reconsider. Had I not found out about it, I probably would have stayed and continued trying to bail a sinking ship. I never blamed the other girl - even though she was aware of the whole situation. He was the one that had made the commitment so I placed the blame squarely where it belonged. I was hurt, definitely, but I can be quite cold and matter of fact about things like this and I don't like to show weakness. I just did what was necessary to move on with my life without excessive drama and tears. Everyone reacts to such things differently maybe depending on one's outlook on life, commitment and fidelity. Whether we'd had a white wedding day or not - I would have felt the same about it. It just would have involved more paperwork.

*She wants to communicate with you a lot: Texting, Calling, Emails, Messages etc.




This is probably the biggest one if you're looking for "does she like me right now" rather than do I have potential down the road. If she's not responding to these things within 24 hrs, chances are high that she's not that into you. That doesn't mean you don't have potential to spark some interest later on at some point but just that there's no current crush/desire there.
I haven't read the books but from what I know about the characters, the choices seem fine.

I think people are just pissed that they're not really big-name Hollywood actors.

As SJ said, people scream and wail at casting choices and then fall right in line when the movie comes out and start swooning over the same people they petitioned against. I'm sure the same will happen here.

At the risk of getting piled on I just wanted to add...there once was a time when more marriages survived than failed. When cheating wasn't a norm or expected (50/50) outcome in a relationship. That said, what our society has become is a disposable society even in regard to individual relationships and I can't see how that can be treated nonchalantly. It happens...yep. All the time. But like I stated, once upon a time it wasn't the norm. Once upon a time "no-fault" divorce was not a part of our vernacular.

Please don't take this a judgement because I'm not passing judgement on you or anyone else. I'm just saying...there once was a time when the "institution of marriage" was actually an institution. When the institution was respected, almost sacred. I'm young and maybe this is pie in the sky thinking but there was a time when our society wasn't so disposable.


I think that marriages were more robust back in that era because divorce was frowned upon and women were less likely to be in the workforce and have their own money so they didn't really have the same kind of freedom to make decisions like going at it as a single mom or facing society as a 'divorced woman' - so *I think* they were probably more likely to suck it up if a spouse cheated and work on forgiveness and keeping the family unit intact while keeping the actual scandal very 'hush-hush' in the community. That whole 'boys will be boys' mentality coupled with blaming those slutty wanton women for tempting their family man that maybe just experienced a moment of weakness because of his biology seemed to be the norm. I believe there was more slut-shaming back then too - the division between a good married christian woman and a woman that had sex out of wedlock with married men etc. The culture was more focused on maintaining the nuclear family and working it out.

I'm sure cheating stats have gone up since then due to more opportunities as both genders are likely in the workforce, meeting more people, getting online and broadening their social horizons when they're bored etc. There's just more candy out there to think about having a taste of. There is also, as you said, a more disposable outlook now to relationships and marriages. But... I'm not so sure it's about the cheating stats - I've always seen it as more financial viability to leave a spouse that pisses you off or cheats and more opportunity as a divorced person to meet new people and not be stigmatized. To seek your own happiness rather than suffer in silence etc. When someone cheated back then, you were more likely to see it as a marital-blip rather than cause for divorce. I might be wrong, but that's always been my take on the differences between past and present.

I agree with your sentiments though. It's one of the major factors that plays into my commitment phobia and jaded outlook on marriage. On the other hand, I'm happy that people today do have that option to leave a bad marriage if they want to. Personal freedom and happiness has always been more important to me than any institution that would seek to trap you. Being stuck in a bad marriage with a cheating spouse and limited by my options to leave, therefore being forced to put on a smiley face and bake another apple pie seems far more depressing somehow.
Yes... but it was during a phase of doing really bad and self-destructive things in general - so it kind of worked with my reckless spirit. I don't recommend it. I definitely have never (nor would ever) touch a man with kids - that line was never crossed. I don't condone it, but I try not to judge too much. I hate to sound jaded but it's just so commonplace that it's lost a lot of its shock value. That's not to make light of it - I've been cheated on as well (although not in a marriage) so I know both sides of the coin to some degree. I don't have much of the 'cheaters blood' running through me personally though - I have always been extremely loyal when in a relationship.
I think boxer briefs are sexiest, followed by boxers. Not into briefs. And please - no thongs.
I definitely enjoy it and can get off on it, but not at the expense of penetration. I would rather have several shorter rounds of penetration than mostly oral with just 20% of the time allotted for penetration.
What turns your head the most (in a good way) when you're out and see a woman dressed to impress?

Note: I know everyone has different body types and certain things will work for some more than others, but let's assume we're talking about someone who can pull off all of the above (and has a lovely smile and a 'great personality' etc). What body part do you think looks sexiest when showcased?

Is there such a thing as baring too much? And for the guys - does this affect the way you'd approach her as far as one-night-stand material vs possible girlfriend material or does what she's wearing when you meet her not matter at all?

Feel free to post pics or elaborate on what you think looks sexy and what doesn't when it comes to baring a bit of flesh when dressed up for a night out.
I have both varieties and really it comes down to my mood - they're both good in different ways.

I do reach for silicone way more often than glass though.

As already mentioned, when it comes to toys, I have found that you get what you pay for. With silicone in particular, you don't want to cheap out.
Assuming all things are the same (age/looks/personality), I've ranked them in order of sex appeal. If the lawyer isn't a prosecutor though, I'd put him in #2 behind the doctor. smile

Something like this has probably happened to all of us at some point. When we try to warn a friend or give them advice about a guy, it's not always appreciated and can sometimes lead to resentment.

In her case, she obviously doesn't want to hear these things about her guy. I'll bet deep within, you've hit a sore spot (red flag) with her because she probably has those kinds of doubts about him already. Girls who date players are always at least somewhat aware or wary of what he might be up to. Right now, she doesn't want to acknowledge them outright because if she does she has to confront the situation. She's probably not ready to do this or contemplate calling him out on it and losing him. So instead she desperately looks for reasons as to why you are wrong and comes up with a truly ridiculous one - "you're not that into guys anyway" - as though this somehow would affect your eyesight or ability to accurately observe two people making out. lol. From there, she may have talked herself further down the rabbit hole and might be thinking you're trying to break them up because you're crushing on her or something. When we don't want to see the truth, we have to find ways to explain it away. That's what she's doing here. Unfortunately you're just on the wrong end of her panicked thought-processes.

At this point, in her mind, she is supporting and standing by her man - and you are against her man - therefore she is against you. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's where her mind is going. In her warped thinking, being friendly with you is like her consorting with someone who is against her relationship, which she obviously is very wrapped up in at the moment. It also, on some level, makes her feel awkward because she thinks you are probably judging her too for denying the truth and staying with him. So if she avoids you, she's able to secure her happy bubble and not have to be reminded of reality.

I would back off and let her sort through things for a couple of months. I suspect she will slowly start to see more red flags in her relationship and eventually shit will hit the fan and they will probably break-up or she will catch him in the act. Then guess who she will come running to. You, of course - because you already know he's a shady guy and can now commiserate with her, support her, give her advice and rebuild her ego. Wait for it, it's coming. I've been on both sides of this coin and it always ends the same.
I eat yoghurt regularly. I usually prefer it plain - I hate most flavoured varieties and those fruit-bottom cups in particular are beyond revolting to me.

Like you, I've heard of the benefits of probiotics but I don't take supplements on a regular basis. I do take them when I'm on antibiotics to reduce side-effects and bacteria overgrowth. Admittedly I don't know that much about it, but just follow those rules because that's what my mom taught me growing up.
If you're talking about some random strip bar/club - just walk in during non-busy hours (ie. daytime). Ask to talk to the manager or owner and ask your Qs and make your pitch from there. If you want to feel things out more, sit down and have some drinks and talk to the staff (bartenders, dancers working the floor etc) so you can get a feel for how things operate.
If we're just talking about a soft cock in pics, then yeah, I think it looks better hard, or maybe covered up and appearing as a bulge. The reason being if a guy is sending me a naked pic, it's probably to show how turned on he is or part of sexting etc. Now that I look back on it, you are right in that I've never had a guy send me a naked pic of himself with just a limp dick, it's always at least in some semi-hard to a full-blown 'you can hang a towel off this rod' state.

Now, I'm not gonna lie - I do like it that way in pics. In real life, you're obviously going to be seeing it soft though pretty regularly - like walking to and from the shower, changing, getting out of bed or lounging around etc. It's not a turn-off and I would be surprised to hear that guys would feel self-conscious about that. But strictly in terms of pics - yeah, I would agree that hard is sexier. I've never thought of the psychology behind it as far as it appearing more masculine but I can see your point on that one too. Interesting thread!
