"Yum" or "ahh"? ,your choice

[Tomas Rueda]

catwoman: I was not expecting that said by you. as far as I can remember you were the first person to argue about the point.

Perth: IT'S AN INNOCENT, RIDICULOUS QUESTION THAT I ASKED!!!
and now I know why I should not have posted my B-day in.

(sighs)

and now that you know that I'm 15 going on 16, you know that I haven't experienced sex on its fullness.

O well, I thought that this website was kind of like a College or scholar forum where Big, inexplicable words roamed.

One point still remains: yesterday, I ate a pear, and I masturbated afterwards, and I believe that the pear was better

[DanaC]

Dont take it to heart Tomas. *smiles* We're just teasing you. When you are a little older you'll understand why we all found it so funny. That aside, you raised some interesting points, you just werent truly able to compare the two yourself. hence we took umbrage ( mildly) at your seeming insistence that one is better than the other.

Seriously, there is a world of difference between masturbating and getting down and dirty with someone who presses all the right buttons and who is just dying for you to press some of hers ( or his, I'd hate to make an assumption there )

When you are a little more experienced in matters carnal, I suggest you think back to this thread and ask yourslef the same question you asked us. You may find your opinion has altered quite drastically, you may not but it would be based on a comparison of both rather than experience of one and mere fantasies of the other.
No matter how much I try to imagine the taste of chocolate ( and when I was a child on a sugar free diet I imagined this a lot) I can only capture the faintest echo of the true taste. It feels quite strong and similar to me at the time, but the instant I eat a bar of chocolate I know I have merely fooled myself into thinking that.

[Tomas Rueda]

Dana,

correct me if I'm Wrong, you are saying that I need more experience to talk about this???

Here is my point, This forum is comprised mostly of middle-aged people, (24-48)

if I started to talk about teenage topics, everybody would show me the door and maybe even be expelled by Undertoad.

so i thought: Ok, what do Middle-aged people mostly talk about?
and then I thought, : Ok, What do I like?

I combined the 2 together and voila! this thread was born >}}}*> <*{{{<

[Yelof]

Tomas you got it wrong..middle aged people talk about boring things

wars and house prices etc


don't come back until you are boring enough, hit the books and get boring for us, thats an order!

obligitory woody allen quote

"don't knock masturbation, its sex with someone you love"


sorry for outing you as a teenager...but did he just call us middle aged

[DanaC]

Y'know I believe he did! But hey.....if the zimmerframe fits....

Tomas, read my last response again please. I did not say you shuoldnt talk about this until you are older or more experienced. I merely pointed out that you are not qualified to compare the two if you only have experience of the one. Not that you cant have an opinion of which may or may not be better.....Just that you were rather emphatic in your assertions that the one you have experienced is better than the one you have not.....

.....Dont feel you have to pander to us in your topics of conversation. Talk about what interests you, just dont be surprised if some of us hold firm opinions on all kinds of things. You never know who might post in agreement and who might turn it into a miniflamewar.

Trust me Tomas if I were to start a thread entitled How men Think and then proceed to give my opinions on how a man's mind works ( or doesnt *grins*) there would be a pile up on the cellar steps of people rushing to tell me I didnt know what the fuck I was talking about.

Dana,

No, it's good to explore your feelings on things, even when you don't have a frame of reference. What is bad is when you start making blanket statements like this one:

and I say that Food is definetly more subtle and pleasurable that sex.

Fact is, you don't know. Food *can be* but *is* is far too definite a term when you obviously aren't old enough to know. When you are, you'll realise how ridiculous statements like that are.

So my problem is not that you have an opinion. My problem is that you've formed the opinion having precious few facts and experiences to back it up.

if I started to talk about teenage topics, everybody would show me the door and maybe even be expelled by Undertoad.

Well, that depends really. There's a lot of topics here that would appeal to both teenagers and us "old folk". Music, movies, video games, books. If you have an intellectual bent, and I suspect you do, there's politics, religion, philosophy and anything else that interests you. Even sex. Just keep an open mind, and try to avoid the broad gerneralisations unless you have the facts to back it up. It's okay to be a teenager here, just don't pull an April and you'll be fine.

Yeah, but how much fun would that be? C'mon, I really wanna hear about this.

Know your target audience, though it is rather hard to do when you're on a BBS and know little about the people with whom you converse.

[perth]

I think thats why people who lurk for a while before posting tend to stay around longer and contribute more.

Seriously, we see all these ""Hi guys! just found your forum! Think I'll stick around" posts from people who never ever ever post again. But when someone new comes on and they don't start with a faux pas, it's almost always learned later on that they lurked for a month or two and already knew us pretty well.

[Tomas Rueda]

Ok, I read what dana and perth had to say and I agree.

But

two questions still linger : 1) what do we do with this thread? so far its 13pages long and I suspect that is no longer relevant.

and

2) originally posted by Yelof:

don't come back until you are boring enough, hit the books and get boring for us, thats an order!

Are y'all tired of me asking ridiculous questions or does the statement above implies for me to leave?

I don't think I've been posting here enough to have dismissal powers (
I have however been on the planet long enough )

No I was just trying to be self depreciating about middle aged interests while at the same time steer you towards reading more books. Books are cool.

Stick around but be yourself, if you think your subject of limited interest start a new thread. You may have been giving opions on a subject you are not yet qualified to, but in general we've been having fun on your thread.

[perth]

1. Let the thread do whatever it does. Who cares?

2. What Yelof said. Don't leave. I'm sorry I was a dick.

[glatt]

And you did a good job starting a thread that has had over a hundred posts already. If it was a bad idea to start, nobody would have joined in.

Yeah, Tomas, its cool. Stick around, for what my opinion is worth since I'm new here myself. I didn't lurk at all, just jumped right in and got all kinds of people mad at me and called Wolf a guy, but I haven't been excommunicated yet, so what the hell? I love your thought that 24 is middle-aged. I guess that officially makes me a pre-historic fossil. I hope nobody decides to burn me as fuel!

[Tomas Rueda]

No problem apologies acepted, just one question? What do y'all talk about? I have pondered on this question for too long (and also I have been on the egde of leaving this forum twice so far)

Not wanting to make it thrice, I ask : What thoughts and concerns do you people converse in here everyday?

I mean, its not like I started this thread by: I believe that if the lenght of the hand is longer than that of te foot means that one masturbates to much.

any way, just my opinion (Maybe I shouldn't have said that, I realy have to shove my fist into my mouth
