If Men Had Boobs | Attractive Containers

If Men Had Boobs | Attractive Containers

Makes me wonder how they would take it?

It is soooo true! I know exactly how it feels not getting your ‘size’ when you are ‘bigger’ than most…and YES, I do also believe that male bra designers prefer smaller boobs, or what happened to the ‘larger‘ than ‘large‘ “Attractive Containers“ designs?

I realized today that male bra designers prefer small boobs. I can prove that because it is nearly impossible for anyone with big boobs to find a bra that is even remotely attractive. For those of us who are well endowed, it seems that bras are for utilitarian purposes only, that is, to hold those boulders up where they belong. No, instead of those cute, colorful bras for the tiny-titty-B-cup-and-under set, we get white, black or tan (and sometimes pink!!) industrial strength bras whose only embellishment might be some itchy lace. Let’s put some of that lace on your y-fronts, shall we, boys? And let’s not forget to mention that these same behemoths have shoulder straps that could double as seatbelts. Jesus fucking Christ. Have some imagination, will you? … … to read more, click here : If Men Had Boobs

Ich Liebe Dich!

Posted by Viola

Ich Liebe Dich!

Ich dachte mir das ich fuer meine deutschen Freunde auch mal eine deutsche category anfangen koennte und mit ‘Ich Liebe Dich’ anfange. Was sagt ihr denn dazu? ;-)

Ich liebe dich!!

Die Musik ist von “Silbermond”

LYRICS:

Ich habe einen Schatz gefunden,
und er trägt deinen Namen.
So wunderschön und wertvoll
und mit keinem Geld der Welt zu bezahlen.
Du schläfst neben mir ein,
ich könnt dich die ganze Nacht betrachten.
Seh’n wie du schläfst,
hör’n wie du atmest,
bis wir am Morgen erwachen.

Du hast es wieder mal geschafft, mir den Atem zu rauben,
wenn du neben mir liegst, dann kann ich es kaum glauben,
dass jemand wie ich so was schönes wie dich verdient hat.

Refrain:
Du bist das Beste, was mir je passiert ist, es tut so gut wie du mich liebst,
vergess’ den Rest der Welt, wenn du bei mir bist.
Du bist das Beste, was mir je passiert ist, es tut so gut wie du mich liebst
Ich sag’s dir viel zu selten:
Es ist schön, dass es dich gibt.

Dein Lachen macht süchtig, fast so, als wär’ es nicht von dieser Erde.
Auch wenn deine Nähe Gift wär’, ich würd’ bei dir sein, solange bis ich sterbe.
Dein Verlassen würde Welten zerstören, doch daran will ich nicht denken.
Viel zu schön ist es mit dir, wenn wir uns gegenseitig Liebe schenken.

Betank’ mich mit Kraft, nimm’ mir Zweifel von den Augen.
Erzähl’ mir tausend Lügen, ich würd’ sie dir alle glauben,
doch ein Zweifel bleibt:
Dass ich jemand wie dich verdient hab’.

Refrain:
Du bist das Beste, was mir je passiert ist, es tut so gut wie du mich liebst.
Vergess’ den Rest der Welt, wenn du bei mir bist
Du bist das Beste, was mir je passiert ist, es tut so gut wie du mich liebst.
Ich sag’s dir viel zu selten:
Es ist schön, dass es dich gibt.

Wenn sich mein Leben überschlägt, bist du die Ruhe und die Zuflucht,
weil alles, was du mir gibst, einfach so unendlich gut tut.
Wenn ich rastlos bin, bist du die Reise ohne Ende.
Deshalb leg’ ich meine kleine große Welt in deine schützenden Hände.

Du bist das Beste, was mir je passiert ist, es tut so gut wie du mich liebst.
Vergess’ den Rest der Welt, wenn du bei mir bist

Ich sag’s dir viel zu selten,
es ist schön, dass es dich gibt.

The Seven Wonders of the World

The Seven Wonders of the World

by Author Unknown

Junior high school students in Chicago were studying the Seven Wonders of the World. At the end of the lesson, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following received the most votes:

1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids
2. The Taj Mahal in India
3. The Grand Canyon in Arizona
4. The Panama Canal
5. The Empire State Building
6. St. Peter’s Basilica
7. China’s Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn’t turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, “Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many.” The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.”

The girl hesitated, then read, “I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to touch…
2. to taste…
3. to see…
4. to hear… (She hesitated a little, and then added…)
5. to feel…
6. to laugh…
7. and to love.

The room was so quiet; you could have heard a pin drop.

May this story serve as a gentle reminder to all of us that the things we overlook as simple and ordinary are often the most wonderful - and we don’t have to travel anywhere special to experience them.

Enjoy your gifts!

Am I Supposed to be Nude?

Posted by Viola

Am I Supposed to be Nude?

There are no real “ground rules” or norms when it comes to having a massage in a medical setting. Usually the massage therapist will leave the room so that you can (in your own time) remove your clothing before you lie on the massage table under the top sheet (normally face down). There is no need for you to rush or worry that your therapist walks in on you, as he/she will always knock and ask if you are ready before coming into the room.

There is of course the question whether to take off your underwear during a massage? It is up to you. Many people keep their knickers/briefs/panties on. Some prefer to be completely nude. Sometimes tight-fitting underwear gets in the way of massage work, especially if your problem areas are your lower back, hips, buttocks, or groin. A thong for women or briefs for men should do the trick.

In some countries such as North America, a licensed massage therapists must make sure that you are always properly covered by a sheet or towel if you do remove all of your clothes and ONLY the area which is being massaged will be uncovered.

About tipping, I have asked some massage therapists and also associations/boards, but they said tipping isn’t appropriate in a medical or clinical setting. There is no reason though why you can’t show your appreciation by referring friends, family or even work colleagues. It would be different if you get a massage at a spa or maybe a hotel. If you were pleased and like to tip, a 15-20% tip is the going rate, but than after all, it is up to you.

You do not have to make conversation with the massage therapist. Some people prefer to talk throughout the massage though. It is up to you. I think it is best to shut up, close your eyes, enjoy! That’s what most people do and it is the most relaxing. You’re having a treatment after all and you’re not at a cocktail party!

But, be sure to say

If the room is too hot or too cold
Should you experience pain for some reason
Or if you have any questions related to the massage

And of course, if there’s anything you forgot to mention during the consultation, don’t hesitate to be open about it. There is also no reason why you should experience pain during your massage. It is a myth that it is only effective when you experience pain. A lot of the most effective types of massage therapies are gentle. They don’t even involve deep pressure. In fact, too much pressure can be the cause for muscles to seize up.

So what if you are self-conscious about a particular part of your body? That happens and people are self-conscious for different reasons.

Some of the most common reasons are:

Weight issues - overweight
Excessive hair growth on the body
Acne - spots - skin conditions
Feet - I found that a lot of people have issues with their feet
People also seem to have issues with scars

We are all a little self-conscious at times, but I think it should never stop you from seeking health care. Be it visiting doctors or seeing an alternative practitioner. Still, you can always ask the therapist to avoid a particular area, if you are bothered by it. Or how about choosing a therapy where the treatment is done without the use of oils or lotions, where you remain fully dressed such as shiatsu or Tai massage?

We are all different, have our preferences. Some men don’t feel comfortable being massaged by a male therapist. Some of the reasons may be outdated social media or maybe even of fear of getting an erection during the massage. By touch anywhere on the body, the parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated and activated, therefore erection is a normal, common physiological response that happens. Nothing really to worry about!

How about women? Some prefer female massage therapists as they say they feel more comfortable. I have had massages of male and female massage therapists and thought about it and personally I don’t really have a preference. I think it is the mood I am in when I receive massages that make the difference in therapists.

It’s a bit disappointing that so many have preconceptions, as unfortunately men who decide for a massage profession are often not prepared for the discrimination they face when clients request female over male therapists, clinics and spas stop employing them, and it does not matter how skilled they are.

Personal thought:
How about challenging your preconceptions by asking to meet the therapist before booking an appointment?

Do Pregnant Women Have Better Sex and Orgasms?

Do Pregnant Women Have Better Sex and Orgasms?

To me pregnancy is amongst the most sensual, sexual time in a woman’s life, but not many think “orgasmic” when they see a pregnant woman in all her “belly beauty“.

Did you know that pregnant women often top the list of expressing lustfully sexual desires? Increased sexual appetite? And also intensity? Quite often that comes as a surprise to their partner’s delight or even confusion with every “ripening” day.

After all, us women ‘suffer’ from hormones during that time. Most of us are blessed with better hair and skin and it makes us feel more gorgeous than it ever has. Well, it certainly has had that effect on me many years ago.

A lot of women experience increased sexual urges during their first or even their second part of their pregnancy for reasons beyond their control and mother nature is speeding up a woman’s sex drive. Vaginal lubrication increases. Breasts get larger. And not to forget the flow of blood to the genitals increases for heightened sensitivity. The woman literally becomes a “passion playground” for herself and her partner.

In a pregnant woman’s third part of pregnancy, her dream state changes. Dreams may increase and may even become more of sexual nature. More erotic… more physical… more varied… sleep becomes lighter, which makes it easier to remember and recall dreams, visions and also her nocturnal orgasm(s). And of course, sharing her nightly “visions” with her other half could be the cause for even more ‘real life action’.

Feeling more sexy, the increased genital blood flow, greater sensitivity of the vulva and not to forget unexpected fantasies add to a more orgasmic woman. It may even be that this is the time where some women experience spontaneous multiple orgasms during love making.

During pregnancy, many couples experience some of their most intense love-making. Sex is a way of staying connected. Both physically and emotionally, which is crucial factor during this time. Mutual happiness tends to decrease post-birth and as sexual intimacy is the most vulnerable area, staying intimate makes couples feel closer and they also more easily re-connect post-partum.

Go on, make the most of it!
