Even if you are kidding you wouldn't be alone. I had sex before I ever masturbated, I was 18 when I lost my virginity, 19 the first time I did it for myself. Before we had sex my girly and I would do other stuff, but my first orgasm that wasn't a wet dream was (literally) in the hands of my girlfriend when I was 16. That's why I've never understood people that claim you "have to masturbate" in order to enjoy sex. That's like saying you have to eat a hamburger before you can enjoy a steak, it makes no sense. You might be a 2 pump chump your first time, but it's not like you HAVE to jerk off before you can have sex. As for the option of "Fap? I have sex" while it's true that people will masturbate in a sexually active relationship, I find the more often I have sex the less I want/need anything else. It's been a good two months since I've masturbated, but I've been having sex regularly in that time.

Well pack your bags, we'll leave tonight.

In other words he shoved a phallic shaped veggie up his ass for some thrills (prostate stimulation anyone?), passed out from the pain, and thought that claiming a suicide attempt was easier/less embarrassing than admitting he gets his jollies from things in his butt.

Went out to dinner, had dessert at home.

What a coincidence Sтεαм, my new desktop is Christmas themed too. Though I went with Angels.

It's funny, in the US no one is "American" even if they're heritage goes back 5+ generations of being in the US, people have to identify themselves as whatever ONE of their ancestors was. I know many people who will say "I'm Irish" because there name is O'Hara. That is probably true, but they've married with so many people of other descents that someone from Ireland would most likely laugh at them. However, my wife's grandmother was born in Sicily but immigrated to the US, so she really is Italian. Her kids half Italian, and my wife quarter Italian. So I have no issue with my wife saying she's of Italian descent, because mostly she is. Me? Well my Mother's adopted so I'll never know 100%, that said I consider her adopted parents as my grandparents so in polite company I'll just say what they were (if I know). My great-great grandfather on my Father's side had a British father and a German mother. When he moved to the US he changed his name to his mother's maiden name because he killed someone and was trying to avoid the law. This was in the late 1800's. We don't know of what ancestry his wife was. My father's mother has a German maiden name so we assume somewhere in her heritage there was a German. But, it could have been long ago, or mixed with any other heritage. My mother's adopted Father? His grandparents came from Ireland (and for some reason settled in Wisconsin). My mother's adopted Mother? She knew (Alzheimers) but never talked about her heritage much. Been in Southern Virginia long before the Civil War, so most likely British of some variety. But since the last of my ancestors to hit the shores of America was 4 generations ago, and since we don't know a great deal about many of them, I'm American. I'm not a "native", but I figure we've been here long enough to be comfortable with that setting.

Like Bear said the Mayan calender "ends" in 2012, but it really doesn't. It just repeats. The Mayan prophecies (or whatever they're called) mention dates well past 2012. The Mayan decedents have been in the news lately saying it's all BS. The movies depict these huge meteors hitting the earth, but NASA and all other space agencies/watchers see no evidence of anything close to hitting the earth (and they'd be able to see it by now). The world was supposed to end due to Y2K, 9/9/1999, etc.

Yup, Bugs Bunny was famous for that. "As you know rabbits can't add, but they do multiply" A kid isn't going to get that, but the parents who were watching (only 1 TV per house back in the 50's) certainly did. I love watching the cartoons I grew up with now just to see the innuendo I missed. We took my brother-in-law to see the live action Scooby Doo's in the theater. I laughed my ass off at Scooby and Shaggy in the back of the Mystery Machine "talk about toasted" and "hydroponics". Kids don't get it, but the adults sure as hell did.

Snick I remember quite well. If I recall Clarissa Explains it all ended up there, and it always ended with "Are you afraid of the Dark?" Bear mentioned "All Grown Up" to me Rugrats flushed down the toilet when they brought it back and introduced Dill. I mean it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I think I could still sit down and watch Doug or the original Rugrats and be entertained. When I switched to DirecTV from cable I was pleased to find I had a channel called Boomerang, which is all the classic cartoons. Scooby Doo (greatest cartoon ever), Looney Toons, Flinstones, Jetsons, etc. So it's nice to know my kids will be able to see what a cartoon was meant to be. I was watching Looney Toons when my nephew came over the other day. He had never seen it, but he sat down and watched and was enthralled. He loved it. Then later on we were watching Sponge Bob and he looked at me and asked if Scooby Doo was on because he'd rather watch that. Pretty cool to see a 5 year old who just started seeing those cartoons recently want to sit down and watch them instead of "his" shows.

Oh yeah, they were pretty good too. They were like the 2nd era of Nicktoons, I was almost to the age of not watching Nick anymore when they came out.

I know what you mean. I have a five year old nephew and whenever he's over we watch Sponge Bob (Dora and Diego are actually ok) not to mention the new Nick Toons. They're funny because they're stupid and disgusting. Not funny because they're funny. My parents could sit and watch Rugrats or Doug and be entertained, Spongebob makes me want to shoot myself.

Who comes up with stuff like this? I mean who has the time, or seriously worries about things like a cartoon bear not washing his hands? Little Mermaid Story Lion King Story Rescuer's Story They've all been out there for years. Sadly people screw around with videos (especially years ago, Rescuers is over 30 years old). Don't think it makes for a bad influence though.

The top picture is me standing in the Gulf of Mexico just off St. Pete Beach. The 2nd one is at Blizzard Beach water park at Disney World. That was from my vacation in September/October, I live up in Maryland.

There wasn't anything I wanted badly enough to ask for this year. But I picked up a 50" flat screen on Black Friday that's currently hanging in my living room, so that works.

No I wouldn't say they are at all alike. Yes it's their fault for having unprotected sex, but that doesn't mean people should have to resort to dangerous and life risking things. Plus wouldn't you rather know that a child was killed before it had begun to have thoughts? When it's still the size of a golf ball rather than someone carry the child to term and punch a hole in it's head or just throw it away like garbage? The child that happened to started to breathe oxygen, it was alive. I'm not going to try and start a debate on where life begins. But if it begins at conception doesn't it begin before? So that every time you have a wet dream you just murdered your children? Or every time a woman has a period shouldn't she be charged with murder? No you'll never stop murders, because you don't know who's a murderer. No one walks around with a sign over their head saying "I will kill someone eventually". But we do put murderers away so they can't kill again. As far as rape, yes the baby did nothing wrong but that doesn't mean that a woman who's had a traumatizing event should have to carry that with her for 9 months while people stare at her and think "slut" because she's most likely not married.

Growing up we only ever did the Nativity in Sunday School. Because of the separation of Church and State (which I wholeheartedly agree with) you're not allowed to discuss religion in public schools. In history class we would learn the history of Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, what have you, often with teachers from whatever religion telling it to us. The over saturation/commercialization of Christmas will never stop. One day we'll be telling our kids (in the US) about this holiday we used to celebrate at the end of November called "Thanksgiving".

Mine's going quite well actually. My wife and I are soon going to be celebrating our 9th anniversary (from when we started dating), been married for over 3 years now. The topic of wee ones has come up now and then so that's pretty exciting. Sorry to hear your date was a dud Bear. Hope your next one knocks your socks off.

You hit the nail on the head. I grew up Catholic, my mother didn't really practice (Church on Christmas and Easter), my father a non-practicing Methodist. Despite that my parents made us go to Sunday School every week to learn about it and gather our own thoughts and make our own decisions. For a while I wanted to be a preacher I was so into religion. I still believe in God and Jesus and consider myself Catholic. But I refuse to go to a Church that allows pedophiles to roam around and teach people the Word. Off my high horse now. Your story is very disturbing. I am pro choice, but only in extreme cases. I'd much rather see a baby put up for adoption. I can't stand the people who will say "Well I wasn't ready to be a parent" Shouldn't have had sex. There's oral sex, masturbation (alone or mutual) hell anal sex = no kids possible. "Couldn't afford birth control" It's a lot cheaper than a kid. Or again, don't have sex. It's not like breathing no matter what people seem to act like. I've gone months without an orgasm. Does it suck, hell yes, but I'm still walking around. Once a baby reaches the 2nd trimester unless the mother's health is at risk there shouldn't be an abortion. Especially the partial birth abortions. But the problem is, if we ever out right banned abortion you would see a hell of a lot more "back alley" abortions using a coat hanger. Or people "beating" the baby dead (beating on the stomach). Or more babies left in a dumpster. I'm pro-choice because I don't want to see that happen. And if a girl is raped or the health of the mother or baby will be a problem (death or severe injury/illness) then she and her partner/doctor need to allowed to make that choice. It's a choice I hope I am never faced with.

I tend to agree with you, but it will never happen. For much the same reason as Spaz and others below you mentioned. If you make it just a "Christian" holiday again then the economy suffers. Now I don't agree with the groups that think we should change the name and quote "Take Christ out of Christmas". To me it's going to come down to teaching our children and grandchildren the Christmas story as it relates to Jesus.

Did you just seriously compare an abortion doctor to Hitler? You know what, never mind I don't even want to try to get into that type of discussion. You know (not trying to pick on you Raybob) I've never understood the hatred that so called "Christians" have for unwed mothers, abortions, etc. Jesus loved everyone despite their faults and sins. In fact He said "Judge not lest ye be judged" as well as a bunch of other stuff like that. I've never understood why "Christians" want to be up in someone else's business, judging them and their way of life. Only God can judge people. As long as no laws are being broken then why should you care what people are doing? Does it hurt you in anyway?

Agreed. So the 12 year old girl should be shot leaving her child without a mother? That's ok but aborting a fetus is not? I'm not going to tell you my thoughts on abortion, unless you really want to know, but I can't fathom how so many people have this fixation on killing the unclean, but an unborn child is a sacred life? What if that unborn baby gets pregnant at 12 too? Kill it too? Boy that was worth killing it's mother over wasn't it? I don't think anyone is "pro-abortion" that means that you think everyone should be aborted.

Are you talking about that person who was born a woman, took hormones to look manly, had her breasts removed, but kept the female plumbing and had to stop taking testosterone for months to get pregnant? Not really a Dude getting pregnant. In any case, is a man getting surgery done so he can lactate "natural"? No Is a woman who gives birth but doesn't breast feed but gives her infant a bottle natural? No Is it socially acceptable? Yes Are breast implants natural? No Is it socially acceptable? Yes Just because it's not natural doesn't mean it's wrong. Every person has their own sets of morals and beliefs. What works for Spaz may not work for me. What works for me may not work for Spaz. Does that mean I'm right and he's wrong? No. And before anyone starts a rallying cry of "God's law" remember this. The most Christian thing you can do is accept someone for their differences. Jesus said "Judge not lest ye be judged" No one has a right to judge anyone else, especially all these people who call themselves Christians. Jesus said there was a Hell, He never said anyone was in it.
