It isn't Rocket Science - it's SEX! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Remember, this is COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS, SO BE HONEST!
Oh, and in case you think that lone voter is me, it isn't. I haven't voted yet. Really. No, really.

REALLY!
I was going to vote but then I considered that this "anonymous" poll wouldn't really be anonymous for me if I were the 2nd voter--because when I viewed the results I would see the votes of two voters and I, of course, would know how I voted so.....

But it's good to know that the first voter wasn't you. I'll go vote but the 2nd voter isn't me, really. No, really!! ROFL
Right!!!
Hee hee... I *knew* it!! LOL LOL

I was waiting for just that second voter!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

God, I was worried there that everything thought I was a sleeze or something. I'm totally laughing my fool head off!!

ROFLMAO
Sheryl:

You're a riot!! Sure you are!!
Now listen here LI... I was **wait-ing** THAT WASN'T ME... because if it were EVERYONE would know about my sex life, now wouldn't they. I know, I know... I was the only one logged in at the time... psst.... over here... here... go buy yourself something pretty... and hush. That wasn't me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
Okay Sheryl I read your poll...as you asked..

did you expect me to take it as well????
and yes, you are a riot

It's about time we as MBers talked about sex with a little candor...this poll definitely belongs here! Thanks!
Well yeah, TR, that's the general idea. But if you don't want to or are uncomfortable - don't do it!
So Sheryl, why are your buddies suddenly getting so touchy? Is it a touchy subject? This sex....
I didn't understand that question about having done something kinky......where was the kinky stuff, it all looked pretty normal to me...... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
LOL...Sheryl..I was waiting till more folks voted..I seen only a couple women voted..and 1 man..and well..ya know..it's kinda obvious who is doing what...
I really did NOT want to offend anyone, but we were talking about it over on the poll I wrote yesterday, and I just thought - hey, what the heck, eh?

If anyone is truly uncomfortable, or it goes against everything you are, please feel free to skip it.

I'm a hugger - so HUGS to everyone (unless you're a chick and checked off that hetro sex with same sex question - then stay away!)

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Just kidding, of course... get over here... BIG BEAR HUGS!

<small>[ November 04, 2002, 09:14 PM: Message edited by: new_beginning ]</small>
No..not offended in anyway...was just waiting to get more votes in there..I did vote by the way..
Oh good TR -- you know me, I was worried. Hugs!!
sheryl,

hun...You know me..I'd take the poll..I have nothing to be ashamed of..and well..there is a lot of things you didn't ask that I have done..but
I won't get into those here..
Oh ME TOO... FER SURE... I ... um... uh, just didn't want to write them... yeah, that's it... I'm hip... I'm with it... I am one hot mama... there's LOTS of things I could have written... really... REALLY.

For God's sake QUIT LAUGHING!
LOL...silly girl..

Now there are some on your list I HAVEN'T done..
and have no desire to do either..

but hey..I was young, and stupid once..but I grew up..
Had to bump this to get it above the 'number one in the toilet' thread. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />
Wee early morning bump before I head out for the night, morning... whatever. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
Sheryl...loved the "thumb" question...a well placed thumb could beat a penis any day....and if he has palsy!!!! OK...I'm done...
T
Do pickup trucks count for the 'sex in a car' question?
OK, Sheryl, I voted. For the record, I tried to vote last night when there were 0 recorded votes but I couldn't fake the questions intended just for ladies and the good ole MB pollster was too anal to let me leave those questions blank! Speaking of anal - <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />
Morning my fellow sex fiends! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Twyla Honey, I wrote the questions JUST as you would have!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Oh... Dan-O ... pick up trucks deserve a special mention!!! It takes a special person to contort into that small space <naughty, naughty>... but then again with the king cabs they have now... LOL

Oh well... yes, let's call them cars!

And Dave, you little scaredy cat you! Everyone was FINE reading MY little responses all alone out there!! Ya... hmmm... so for a select few who know my penchant for persimmons.... shhhhh....
Hey, my responses are a bit different than I would answer normally. I am postpartum so haven't gotten back to doing some things. Plus after DD#2 I couldn't feel safe emotionally so we didn't have the intimacy that we had prior to. Although I had to laugh cause we're working on 'rechristening' different areas of our lives, and we have two kids now.....
This was a fun poll! LOL

But I'm still blushing at some of the questions! LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> LOL

Baby
Sheryl,
So...which is "better" a whole line of checks (uh huh, done that) or no checks at all? Or... why not have a line for "No idea why vegetables are in this list." ?

You can thank your lucky stars I'm not figuring out how to make up polls <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> .

Good to see you, missed you.
Well ya know,

You think of all sorts of things AFTER the fact, like... a check box for "Never tried, never will" on the kinky stuff... and how divorced/divorcing folks would probably rather not think about any of this at all, or how someone in the 'just found out' phases of infidelity might be hurt by the questions... or even, that someone might be post-partum and the LAST thing they want to think about it something going 'in there'...

Sigh.

Oh, and regarding death by blushing... no kidding... I'm 43 years old and I was giggling like a mad-woman writing some of the questions.

I was a slut in the 70's and it fared me well in the 'what I won't try for a smile or a dollar' catagory. Remind me to tell the story of how my first serious boyfriend made a weird bet with me to get me to try my very first BJ. Let's just say that the local cemetary was involved. I know... I know... you just can't imagine...
Are we past the second voter so I can finally vote?
Funny Jo. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Now get your pretty [censored] in there and VOTE, Woman!

I took it!

I liked it too. Although I did blush at some of them.

And WOW, the results. Whoa! 150+ pollers!

Looks like women want men to work on their muscles, and men want women to do something with their butts.

You did a good job, Sheryl. Thanks. I really did find the results interesting. And I do believe this kind of Poll is totally appropriate here, it wasn't offensive to me in the least. It was tastefully done.

Jo

Jo
Bump!
Hey Sheryl!!

I'm one of the very few who have sex every day!!! WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Mitzi <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
Gosh, even with all those kidlets running around, eh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Keep on keepin' on, and HAVE FUN! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Did somebody say sex? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I voted, but I was wondering why you think anal sex is kinky? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

-HD
Well, my dear Mr. HD, I at *first* had written the sea monkey thing, but then decided that I should tone it down, had the space blank, and thought, "Hmmm... wonder if I should fill it in with something tamer?"... so... ended up with the anal sex thing.

You did notice that something like 100 folks have done that, didn't you? I do think if I'd used the sea monkey thing only ONE OF YOU would have checked that box off, and of course, I already know it's you, so the anonymity is gone, blah, blah, yada yada...
Thank goodness there's no monkey business in that survey! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Well, ya know... I looked on the main forum page and there are 23,000+ members here. That's twenty-three-THOUSAND! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Are only 200 of us willing to anonymously talk about our sex lives?

And what about ME? The WRITER of said thread, who either looks like an enlightened chick or a sex maniac!!?? I am far from anonymous <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> .

So please, EVERYONE... this is so interesting... especially the fact that you always hear guys talking about how the boy-part size is of upmost (pun! haha) importance, and yet this poll says that men don't think that at all. Which is it? See... things like this are VERY important to clarify.

I also did a little figurin' this afternoon, and at that time, 63 men had answered, but on the questions that said *I am a man* only 62 responded... so someone's a fibbin'... scewing all my scientific data!! ROFLMAO
Sheryl (aka Enlightened Chick):

Patience, Patience, Patience. Imagine if several thousand got on to poll, the system may crash. So are you going to publish, from time to time, some useful findings in the survey? Can't wait....
Hi again Logically Irrational,

I really do appreciate your name. I suppose that is obvious!

So, nobody's really looking at this dumb ol' thread, so why don't you tell me a little of your story?

I honestly (and this may seem like the truly stupidist thing I say all day) don't post here like I used to (it has been over three years, after all, and the marriage I came here with is gone, but a new one began a year ago, and... oh, there I go again, trying to fit an entire paragraph into parenthesis)...

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, anyway, your name interests me, and I haven't met you before my very scientific polls, and I may just disappear from here (haha, that's really a joke, I'm like the bad seed)... but it could happen... so while you have my undivided attention, could you tell me a little about yourself?

If you don't wanna, that's okay too. I'm not into pressure... well, except for... oh, nevermind. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Either that, or we've got an MB member that needs a different type of counselor. Maybe one from Sweden or Switzerland?

I would love to see the results all typed up here in this thread, nice and pretty to look at when my heart desired. Any chance that could happen.

Jo

p.s. When K showed up on the EN's board Slappy thread, I thought WE WAS IN TWUBBLE! Mostly YOU.

PS - they may not point up, but they aren't quite yet swing-low-sweet-chariot either!
Hi ya MERCY!!!

Did ya take the poll, hon? Sheryl has written two of them. But the sex one is the funnest, has pictures and diagrams and everything. Sheryl posed for the female pics, and Medic for the male ones (kidding).

It's MY Birthday in December!

What day is yours?

Jo

Oh mercy, well...

David and I got a divorce, he couldn't forgive me and decided to pay me back with more affairs of his own. We did try and I don't hate him at all, but I do see him for the man he really was inside - and it wasn't really very nice.

I have been married to a wonderful man for just over a year (yeah, it was very quick - 8 months after the divorce) and he's fabulous. It's been hard though, didn't do the closure we should have (he was in the same boat, just gone through a divorce)... and he's in Canada, so there's big-time immigration issues (esp. since 9/11)... but I love him to pieces, and he makes me laugh, and he's full of light... just a super guy.

It's so nice to hear of your continued recovery. Lord knows how hard it was to forgive myself too... and isn't wonderful to look at your face in the mirror and see love?

whoa!! ur post brings me to tears!! im sorry!! my H and i almost ended up that way.. i pray we continue to work through it all. God allows for divorce with adultery i think simply because it is such a devestating act. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

wowowow.. u'd marry AGAIN?? lol.. i wouldnt. NO WAY HOSE`!!! but YAY for ur happiness!!!!

huggles!!
mercy
Thanks for the hugs, which feel so good, especially from a dear old friend who went through all the crap with me!

You know, I was married to David for 20 years. It wasn't all bad, and I am blessed to have had three children with him, and that we don't hate each other. We aren't 'friends' exactly, it's strange. My husband has the same sitch with his ex-wife. They talk, that's cool, sometimes they fight, hey, understandable... life goes on... you don't go from love to hate in a snap... and sometimes, I don't know that you *ever* get to hate with someone you loved that much.

I married again because I love being married. I love being one half of two, knowing there's a hand to hold in the storms of life, and a warm body who loves me next to me while I sleep. I got lucky. I went so quick I could have ended up with a fruitloop, but instead I ended up with a prince of a guy... I am lucky, and I am blessed.

He's got four brothers, actually!!

He's cute! And so... ROCKY!!!! Reminds me of... um... gosh... somebody, who?... I can see him playing though...

My husband is a guitar player, was in a punk band in his late teens/early 20's... very hot, huh?

My ex looks like Nic Cage, but with really bad breath.

So that's when all the fun stuff happens! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Bedtime is between 2 and 3 am and the alarm goes off at 6:30am.
