itt blogs instruct you how to be a man

I dated a couple women in college that never let me perform on them, but I think that's a whole different issue.

I mean I guess I shouldn't sound so normative about this, there are gay men who aren't into anal sex and stuff, so by extension maybe there are straight people who aren't into oral. but it just seems like a basic component of sexual fun is missing here. TMI, but the few times I did have sex with women I went down on them and it was fun!

there is no normal

you're right, mileage may vary, I shouldn't hold up some standard as if everyone's sexual experience needs to tick off items A through G from the list or its incomplete

it just seems like there's a lot of stigma and mystification attached to women's orgasms in this culture and so I'd hope that more people would try out more stuff to figure out what they want, and I would hope that people would feel like they could talk about what they want, but that's where gender standards make it maybe harder to do that. but I'm speculating here . . .

based entirely on anecdotal evidence it's my experience that cunnilingus is pretty culturally pervasive in 2014. i'm sure it's not unanimous.

yeah I'd agree w that. same could be said for fellatio too probably.

I had never heard of a no-cunnilingus policy until I saw that ep of the Sopranos where Junior beats up his girlfriend for telling all the mafia wives about it.

There are definitely cultural pockets, often patriarchal, where it has some stigma or association (I remember this article making the rounds a few years back: http://newblackman.blogspot.com/2012/08/lil-wayne-and-new-politics-of.html). Also, women feeling self-conscious about their bodies is very much a thing, at least among some women I've dated or have spoken with about the topic.

There's never been a commercial industry telling men that their genitals are dirty and need to be flushed out or scented or w/e, either.

what I'm saying is, this really is just another aspect of the lysol douche thread

presumably the 21st century equality we will reach here will be axe douche for men

From 2006 to 2012, PyroManiacs turned out almost-daily updates from the Post-Evangelical wasteland -- usually to the fear and loathing of more-polite and more-irenic bloggers and readers.

oh, the ireny!

i·ren·ic
/īˈrenik,īˈrē-/
adjective: irenic; adjective: eirenic

1. aiming or aimed at peace.

noun
noun: irenics; noun: eirenics; noun: irenic; noun: eirenic

1. a part of Christian theology concerned with reconciling different denominations and sects.

So did they typo or just use an obcure word?

ppl seem to be taking the dudestick thing at face value but the pledges bit of its kickstarter give the impression it's a windup?

Is it intended humor, or is it intended "humor?" Difficult to say.

A play on 'chapstick' surely?

Observant

Idk if you ppl have the word 'chap' so excuse me

"manly preachers" totally reminded of the POWER TEAM who I would see on late night tv all the time when I was a kid.

They'd break baseball bats over their thighs and tear phone books in half then get serious and talk about jesus for a bit before blowing up a bunch of hot water balloons until they exploded

thank you for bringing this to my attention

power team is the kind of thing you learn about and immediately say wow there must be an everything is terrible video of this, and you'd be right:

oh lord

I'm not sure if it was a knockoff or minor league Power Team but they came to my (public) junior high when they were touring churches in the area. Since they couldn't mention Jesus it was five minutes of "don't do drugs" and then smashing concrete blocks with their foreheads.

All of that stuff is pretty easy to fake if the props have been doctored ahead of time.

I prefer to think God is real and chose to show his majesty through swole dudes breaking objects

yep

wow

“My wife read Book 1 and 2 of ‘I Steal Wives’ and said I needed to read this book, because it’s the one book about us that I would actually like. She was right. She wanted us to counsel with Sven immediately. But I was still skeptical. She talked me into it.

I had a 3-hour phone session with Sven; her first session was a 2.5 -hour one. That weekend Carey and I talked more than we have talked in the last five years. Everything changed. I got my wife back. And all of a sudden we were communicating again and really diving into the deep end of the pool.

The next week, we both had a conference call with Sven. He challenged us more, called us both on our shit, and...I don’t even know what to call it. You just immediately trust him. You know he knows he shit. He’s a good guy, but he is tough, and that’s why he’s so good. He just looks inside of you.

We’re talking again. There’s not just hope for our marriage, but for a far better marriage than we’ve had in any of our 12 years of marriage. This went way beyond anything we could have imagined.”
