Durrasch -
(laughing) I think that this is the most unlikely forum that I can imagine for a theological discussion. Or maybe not so unlikely - I have come to learn that people who have their head on straight about sex tend to have their head on straight about other things as well. I will only add two things:
a) I know it's a lot cooler to be cynical, but I think that humanity is a lot less of a failure than you seem to. Flawed, no doubt, but still rather amazing on the whole.
b) I fully agree that the Sophisticated Designer concept is no more reasonable than the God of the Gaps. But rather than me wasting this forum's time any further, I recommend reading "The Goldilocks Enigma" by Paul Davies, if anyone is interested.
And thanks for playing.....

I'm not trying to convince anyone to believe in God. But the argument that there can be no God because "bad things happen to good people" is just silly - an unbelievably anthrocentric view of the Universe. Since when does God owe us anything? Pain and suffering are as much a part of life (and death) as quasars and DNA. The simplistic concept of "reward and punishment" is also just plain silly - do good and you're rewarded, do bad and you're punished. That sets up God as Pavlov, and humans as Pavlov's Dogs. If there is a God, He/She/It is a lot more sophisticated than that.
Reading this thread, I am struck once again by the way in which the experiences of men and women on these sites are so totally different. The women get more attention than they can shake a stick (or anything else) at, and their problem is how to filter out the gold from the dross. The men, on the other hand, have to be extraordinarily patient and hope that a pleasant connection gets made once in a while, in spite of themselves.
Not a complaint, just an observation. Although at the risk of being accused of falling prey to the "grass is always greener" syndrome, I'd say that - at least in this one minor aspect of life - you women have the better end of the stick (warts and all).

To answer a question asked a while back (somewhere up above) - yes, it matters if they are natural or fake. To me, anyway. I find fake boobs to be a major turnoff. I'll take a natural mouthful any day over artificial cleavage.
OK, a few replies from my own personal experience:
If by orgasm you mean ejaculate - no, once the dam truly breaks, there's no squeezing the toothpaste back in the tube. And it takes time to reload (the older, the longer).
But I've found it possible to reach the "pulsating" stage, and then hold back just enough to keep from ejaculating. If I hit it just right, I can then keep pulsing without ejaculating. When that happens, I even get temporarily partially-soft, but then I can get hard again within a matter of minutes. And sometimes there's no need for an "intermission" at all.
Not a trick that I could have managed when younger, but there are SOME advantages to maturity. (*smiling*)
And no, it is most definitely NOT torture - it is exquisite. I guess it's as close as a man can come to experiencing the kind of pleasure that a woman can experience with multiple orgasms. Close perhaps, but I'm sure not as good, because the final orgasm with full ejaculation is always the best. But the latter is always accompanied by a feeling of loss, oddly enough, because it means that the pleasure of lovemaking has come to an end. At least temporarily. [OK, girls, please don't write to me about the pleasures of cuddling - I like that, too, but there's nothing like the erotic sensation of being buried inside a woman....]
I posted this answer on another forum yesterday, but I see that it's "topical" for your question here as well. So at the risk of repearing myself......
Once I discovered I could masturbate with my hands, there was no need for anything else. But that was not always the case - when I was younger, I masturbated by undulating (face down) on a bed or other soft surface. Thsi was not a problem until I began to actually ejaculate - I did not realize that I was leaving tell-tale stains until my mother "called" me on it. Even wiping afterward with a tissue was not enough to eliminate the subsequent stain. So I had to develop other "techniques", which led to using my hands while sitting up or lying on my back.
Thank you, Ms. Moderator. I just discovered this site yesterday. I've been a Literotica lurker and occasional contributor for some time, so I posted one of my stories here yesterday to see what response it would get. I have to say that I'm impressed so far. The forums seem to attract a somewhat higher grade of response than elsewhere. The biggest attraction for me is the possibility of getting a more intimate peek into the mind of the female. Where else can you go to find intelligent females who are willing to talk staright about sex? You guys (or girls) don't exactly make it easy on us in "real life".....(*smiling*)
I agree with Wolf. I just don't find the male body very attractive. It distracts from the eroticism for me, so why muck up the fantasy with it? If one woman is great, two beautiful women exciting each other is even better. Allternatively (and perhaps connected in some manner), I think that many men are somewhat homophobic. I freely include myself in that category. The mental picture of a man in an erotic situation - even a heterosexual one - can be disconcerting in a way.
OK, a serious answer. I have to agree that once I discovered I could masturbate with my hands, there was no need for anything else. But that was not always the case - when I was younger, I masturbated by undulating (face down) on a bed or other soft surface. Thsi was not a problem until I began to actually ejaculate - I did not realize that I was leaving tell-tale stains until my mother "called" me on it.
