Basically any car (assuming I buy brand new) or truck I want all get in the area of 22-27 MPG and cost between 28 and 40 grand...bugger...oh well, my Silver's still running strong so meh...

I don't think I will buy new until after my mid-life crisis.

Pleasures of anal sex outweigh potential health risk

By: Matt Combes

Issue date: 2/4/08 Section: Edge

This just in: anal sex is no longer just for us gay people.

As more individuals realize that I work as a sexual-health educator, I realize a growing trend of heterosexual men asking me the same question - "Matt, how can I get my girlfriend to try anal?" That is right, ladies - your men are curious about the exotic destinations you offer.

Usually, when approached, I refrain from laughing out loud and quickly tell the gentlemen to try praying and perhaps jewelry. But this begs the question of what the allure of anal sex is and how it differs from the more traditional vaginal entry.

The most recent U.S. data from a national representative sample comes from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, which was conducted on more than 12,000 men and women ages 15 to 44. Results showed that 34 percent of men and 30 percent of women reported engaging in anal sex at least once, said Cory Silverberg, a certified sex educator onAbout.com.

Since the advent of safer-sex education pamphlets, the level of risk anal sex brings about has changed with every new printing. But, the gist is anal sex has more inherent risk than vaginal or oral sex, even if you do use a barrier.

Why is this so? Because of tighter, wetter, thinner and non-lubricated tissues, there is more risk of tearing, and, in turn, more risk of a sexually transmitted infection. In addition, the rectum brings in a slew of nasty issues that aren't as prevalent in other situations including Hepatitis A, E. coli and many other little bacterial and microbial stinkers.

So why go for it? If done properly, anal sex can raise stimulation to a brand-new level. It's tighter, more sensational, and let's be honest - it makes you feel kind of nasty and naughty.

Always make sure you are ready both physically and mentally for sexual activity.

Also, always use protection. You want to avoid sheer/ultra sensitive condoms; you will get enough sensation with a regular condom and a slight percentage of better protection. Also, avoid condoms with spermicidal lube; you won't get pregnant through this hole, and the nonoxynol-9 can cause sloughing of tissues and cause higher risk of STI transmission. Take your time. It is going to hurt at first, but with patience and some foreplay, it is all go.

Finally, buy a large stock in a lube company because you are going to be using a lot. I suggest brands with numbing agents to help your partner along.

So, anal sex is in. Why be left out?

I MIGHT buy new once I have a stable job and a very stable home, but I really don't see it happening. Its not having a brand new car that I like, its everything I do to it once I get it that I like.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I am up tight about our two euro used cars, don't want to imagine how I would be with a new version.

Because the B&C choices are way up there in price

A guy on ESPN just said the super bowl was a good old fashion beat down. Beat Down???

Seriously now, it was 10-7. It was good football game. New York did out play the patriots, but calling this game a beat down is just ignorant. I still personally believe that the Giants offensive just got plain lucky at the end of the game. Their defense busted ass to hold the Patriots to 7 but its not like the Patriots D didn't do a fine job to keep the Giants at 10. Their defense won that game and should get all the credit because Eli was not really that impressive. He just didn't screw up.

I think we need to implement a "no posting about the Super Bowl" rule in here, at least for a couple months...

eh zip it mk just because u wanted to see them go 19-0. the final score was 17-14. the giants played great on both side but their defense did do incredible! and the pats defense didnt have an answer for the run. Pretty much the pats just got out played the whole game.

Talk about knowing how to piss a guy off.

I had a TON of audio links in there that I would love to have back.

[topgun 262]

Ok, its project cheapo surround sound. I have the sub-stage and mains done (Dual MAW 15's, Fostex FE127's), now need to do the center channel and surrounds. I'm thinking FE127's for the center and Tangband 3" ones for the surrounds...

Idears?

pucking airsoft. roomie has two guns, i get stuck with the one that doesn't shoot as hard. i hit him twice as many times but his actually brought blood.

funny finish though, very movie-tastic. his was a shotgun, mine walther p22. we're hiding in different rooms down a hallway and we both run up on each other, first shots miss so we cock the guns again, right as we get next to each other we reach out and grab the other's guns with our non-dominant hands, fighting to keep the guns pointed away from us. he's starting to work me towards the couch so he can push me on to it, but i know what he's doing so right as he pushed me back i pull his shotgun behind me and sit on it, he loses his gun, i barely have my gun.

we call a truce.
