Comments about g-Force Rival:
I bought the BFG Rival tires for street and HPDE events. Previously I used the BFG R1s at HPDE events.
After about 800 street miles and a few days at Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course I can see why everyone is impressed with the new Rival tires. They have excellent street manners for an Extreme Summer tire with good ride qualities, outstanding grip and minimal tread noise only noticed on grooved concrete or major tar strips.
When it comes to track use the Rival really does deliver just as the demo videos above substantiate. Turn in is crisp and precise. Grip is exceptional and only about 10% behind the R1s as far as I can tell. The grip plateau at the limit is very wide and allows you to adjust your line even when at the very limit. Braking is strong with good feedback.
As if that were not enough the wear rate appears to be amazing in my experience. After 200 track miles and 800 street miles I measured about 1/32 of wear across the tread with about 2/32 on the side radius as you'd expect on the front tires from negative camber and steering input. Being able to swap the tires to any position on the car means it's easy to even out wear should it occur on some cars.
One really nice feature on the Rivals vs. other tires is that they grip immediately. Track only slicks usually take a few laps to really grip. On the out lap in cool weather (60 F) track tires can bite you and I've almost experienced this myself. The Rivals being a true street tire compound, they just work immediately with no drama. Like track tires however the compound gets sticky with heat so they also improve after a couple laps but are just great to start with.
Several HPDE instructors asked me about the Rival's performance and they were impressed when they observed in firsthand on the track. IMO BFG really hit a home run with the Rival. Everyone that I talked to at the track who had tried them were quite happy and felt they delivered as advertised. No special heat cycling or other break-in procedures were required.
I've driven on enough extreme performance and track only tires to appreciate just how good the Rival tires are. They make life really great for those who want one tire that does it all. You can drive on these everyday with excellent comfort and take your car to the track whenever the opportunity presents itself without having to lug a second set of tires and do the swap at the track. At the end of the day you drop the tire pressures back to street levels and away you go. No dram or work involved. It makes life a whole lot easier.

Comments about g-Force Rival:
The BFG Rival is an amazing UHP tire. I logged over 4000 miles and 80 Laps on one set of Rivals during the 2013 One Lap of America. The dry handling of this tire will make you forget you are on a 200 TW street tire. Very crisp steering response, consistent laps without fall-off and amazing wear characteristics.

Comments about g-Force Rival:
I have been racing for many years and this is the single biggest improvement from a bolt on part I have experienced. The turn in response is so much faster I no longer have to turn the wheel and wait.
The superior performance is enough to convince anyone to buy these tires, but the fact that you will get 2-3 times the life from the Rival is proof that BFGoodrich has delivered a tire that helps make racing affordable for the common enthusiast.
Thank you BFGoodrich, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Winger Could Be Back Sooner Than Expected
Hibs do not need more bad news so hearing that Ivan Sproule's injury is not so bad has been welcomed.
Hibs are relieved to hear that Ivan Sproule's injury is not as bad as first feared. On Sunday, the winger was carried off with an ankle injury at Inverness. There were worries over possible ligament damage when Sproule took a knock to the ankle towards the end of Hibs' 3-2 league win over Caley Thistle. However, following examination by the Easter Road's medical staff, Hibs manager Pat Fenlon has revealed Sproule could return to training before the game against Motherwell on Sunday. Fenlon said: "The good news is that Ivan's injury is not as bad as we first feared it might be. He was obviously in a lot of pain when he came off the pitch, but fortunately the injury has responded to treatment and he could be back in training sooner rather than later."

SFotD: 'Tumbleweed!' Cleverly Tells the History of the Western Staple
Features By Scott Beggs on November 29, 2012 | Comments (1)Why Watch? "History" might be a stretch here (especially since pretty much everything in this fake doc is, well, fake, but it's a fantastic premise given the perfect, tongue-in-cheek execution. Switching between sweeping location shots and antique newspaper clippings, this fun short from the Justin and Jared Varava channels Ken Burns by way of Monty Python to take a slightly existential, slightly silly look at a tumbleweed that won't tumble. It's innovative while sticking to the usual rules of the genre, and it proves once again that the desert west is perfect for dry humor. What will it cost you? Only 6 minutes. Skip work. Watch more short films.

WISDOM is the Knowledge you've gained ... After you could have used it! _Me
i've jo and shown off with my brothers. would do more. wonder if they would be down but haven't made a move.
I love to read about it, could never do it with my bro, maybe if he looked less like family, and was a nice guy.
Now, on the thread about having sex with cousins and family members, I've responded with my experiences with my brother when we were younger (check it out). It was great fun, at the time we considered it "cheap thrills", mostly jerking, and sucking (one time I wanted his cum and when he said he was ready to pull out, I held tight and swallowed his salty jism saying, as he **freaked out** that I didn't hear him). After that period of time, we faded into time with high school,working, girl friends, moving away, then wives. I have been recently widowed and wanted to bring my boys to be around the family. I had just returned from a month getaway that got extended to an additional month. I was having a great time with my boys and my brother with his kids. One evening while at a lake beach while the kids were all asleep in the tent, I noticed through the moonlit night that my brother dropped his shorts for a pee. It was nothing to me, just thought it as anyone has done before but as I usually do didn't shy away. He came over and was nonchalantly fondling his cock. We started talking about life in general but then we were casually talking about each others personal sexual stamina and what we liked and how he could never get naked without popping a boner in minutes (changing in public or public showers he never could do), he was sporting a hard one at the time, and mentioned that I never seemed to get hard like he did as he has seen me nude sunbathing and skinny dipping. He also was discussing how he could not last no more than 5 minutes before blowing his load with his wife or past girlfriends. This has been a problem for him. I gave him advice about control and edging since I had the same problem until I learned some control but I have always enjoyed being nude, especially in public. All the while when we were talking I was thinking about our childhood fun and how my brother is married str8, he started talking about how my cock was thicker than his though about the same length, so without hesitation dropped my shorts to air out. We continued to talk as he commented on my cock especially the cool bridge attached to the gland at the top of my cock. He then just grabbed my cock to give it an inspection as he has not seen it in twenty plus years. (unless he seen me taking a leak before) We realized why we were up and about to begin with, which was to get some more supplies from the truck about a mile hike from the beach. So we started off in the dark and both decided to hike in the buff leaving most of our clothes on the path bringing just a pair of shorts on the slim chance of running into somebody. Along the way, we got caught up on our sexual experience with our wives and what they like ect. while giving advice and techniques. I was wondering if he would like to play around some but not wanting to let him know that I would be into it. We finally got back to my truck and the parking area was empty and moonlit so I dropped the tail gate and grabbed a six pack from the bed and crack one open as my brother joined me. I could tell he was checking me out good like a peep show with a 3min limit. He of course was sporting a raging hard on since the beach. He started to feel and stroke my cock saying I am going to make you hard like mine so I don't feel uncomfortable sitting with a woody, that did not take long indeed. He started jerking his own cock good now and since I was just getting started, wanted it to last more than minutes, reached over and took his warm hard cock into my palm to stop him. I said I will teach you control; like I was some kind of cock jedi. I edged him several time and then got him to take breaks and relax in between while polishing off a couple of beers. I got back into it this time jump off the tailgate when he was semi-hard and took him in my mouth and edged him to the point of and stopped. This drove him nuts! This time I gave him about ten minutes not allowing him to stroke his cock until he got semi again. I kept taking his mind off of his cock while having him help me with some mechanical work on my truck. Nothing gets rid of a hard on like wiring a switch that was cut. It was a turn on for me cause he was nude while helping. We grabbed our supplies and just before we started to head out to the beach I made a bet on who ever cums first wins and it was game on. Along the way he would be trying to win and each time he got close I would distract him, some ways were to trow a rock into the woods and say I hear someone, start talking about shit that would get his mind off, and had to topple him over when he stopped and try to win. Lets say we are competitive. We got to the end where the beach starts far away from the tent area where I had beached my boat. My brother laid on the beach and was going at it while I jumped into the lake for a swim just when I could hear him moaning close, I totally drenched him. I coax him into the lake and we swam around for a while and when we came out we both had the tiniest little peckers and ballsack from, well I don't have to tell you guys. He was about to concede and go back to the tent and I said you can't get off that easy so I told him to get into the seats in the boat and we would see who wins. Once sitting he said he couldn't get hard and I said bullshit, I got in between his legs grabbed his shriveled balls and sucked his lake washed, pecker until he was hard. The feel of his balls in my hand got me hard to the point I thought I could win. I sat back down to pound my own cock, then omg he returned the favor and put my thick cock in his mouth to suck, it was awesome and I was thinking he had not done that since I was a kid. after a bit, we were both sitting with our legs touching, jerking like no tomorrow. I now was concentrating on releasing a couple of days load, stroking in the usual way feeling the urge building up from my balls, AWE SHIT, I felt the warm distinguishable splattering of thick cum on my leg knowing I just lost the bet with my brother as I looked to see his throbbing cock dangling about eye level driving me nuts. I did not stop as I was about to do the same thing, he watched as I blew my load mingling the cum together making a larger puddle on my leg as i congratulated him on lasting as long as he did and winning fair and square. Just before we jumped into the lake to get cleaned up, I let him know that I am ok with playing around with him and there is nothing wrong with brothers taking care of their needs and he was as well. Over the next couple of days, I convinced him to go swimming at high tide in the ocean off the rocks. he said he didn't have shorts and I said you have underwear, and I jumped in without anything and he went in his tighty whities. When we got out still naked I offered to wring out his undies with him to dry. This time he got to check out my cock over in the daylight, we just hung out naked then left. He has told me he wanted to go nude swimming since but we didn't get a chance to before I ended my vacation and now that I back he has told me he feels better going skinny dipping and has done it once since I have been back and he would like me to move back to be closer to the family and he enjoys me being around and has used my advice and now last ten mins with his wife, (he still needs to work on that)
i get to rim my younger brothers ass on a regular basis. he shares my en suite. so pretty much everytime he needs the toilet, he's asking me to come in.
ummm....do you know what 'rim' means....you don't get more intimate than that!
The fantasy of 2 adult brothers messing around makes me want to cum. So hot!
I'm 18, and have an AMAZINGLY good looking brother who's 16. We get along really well. We never used to do anything together until about 2 years ago - I was 16, he was 14. We went on holiday to Italy, we were staying in this Villa and we shared a room. Our parents went out on their "alone time" night they have once a week on holiday, and it was about 10PM and we were both so tired. We got into bed and about two hours after we got into bed, he started jerking - obviously assuming I had fallen asleep.
It got me so hard, just thinking of him stoking his huge cock (I'd seen it from walking in on him at home before, but I swiftly walked out). Pretending I was still asleep, I rolled over and put my arm around him and cuddled up to him. He slowed down a little and started to stroke my leg with his left hand and saying my name. Not sexually, just trying to wake me up. I slowly pretended to wake up, and brushed my hand over his rock hard cock. That alone got me horny.
I turned my lamp on and told him I'd been awake, told him I didn't care if he jerked. I said that three weeks is way to long to go without jerking, so being open about it is probably the least embarrassing way of doing it. He agreed and said "well, you can go back to sleep, I've got a while left to go though." and laughed. I just replied "I might join you"
We jerked together for a while, and then I started stroking his upper-leg, to try and slowly get closer. I stopped jerking, and sat there watching. He seemed to like me stroking his leg, so I went a step further and kissed him - not just a peck. This kiss lasted for a good 2 minutes, and I've got to say, he's amazing. I got on top of him and kissed him.
"you've got what you wanted, now help me" he said. I remember thinking it sounded like he'd scripted it out, as if he'd fantasised too. He just grabbed my head and pushed it down. His was my second dick, my biggest (and he was only 14!). He held out for a long time, but had a huge load he dumped all over my face.
Now, we often have a little fun - usually at least once a week. We've never fucked, but we've done pretty much all else. I like to jerk him, and kiss him. He likes me to suck him, and rim him. But we've both had a go at it all.
has he ever sucked and rimmed you?
i think i know what you are meaning to ask? and the answer is no. so far it's pretty much just been me rimming his ass. i've got to jerk him off and his cock and balls have been in my mouth but that is about it. he won't let me fuck him although he wants to fuck me in the ass. but i've never had a dick in my ass and don't like the idea of it. i think i'm more into him than he is into me. we've never kissed although i would like to have him in my bed every night so i could do the dirtiest things with him.
i'm lucky the whole thing even started. i am a straight acting guy and in all honesty unless i am really horny i don't even think about guys, i prefer women more. its just i am obsessed with asses and when i see a guys naked ass, i get turned on so long as it is either muscly, beefy or a bubble butt. anyway i used to fantasise about my uni mate for a long time until it finally happened with him 1 day (long story). and after it did happen, because i lived far away from my mate, i was craving for male ass. but because everybody knew me in the area, i couldn't just go to a gay bar. so as i said me and my brother share my en suite and i started picking up his dirty underwear and masturbating by smelling and licking them (yer i know its weird but when you are desperate and horny it happens). anyway i thought he didnt know, but when our parents were away on holiday after a drunken night out. he stumbled into my room for no reason, went for a piss, didnt close the door and all i could see was his boxers around his ankles and that ass ive been dreaming about totally nude. i have a different method of masturbationg, where i lie face down and rub my dick on the bed or put a pillow underneath, figuring he was drunk and knowing that i would never have this view again, i took my boxers off under the covers and started rubbing my dick on the bed. then what i didnt expect happened and he kicked his boxers off and literally came over to my bed and just jumped on me pretending it was a joke, i didnt know what to do at this point as i didnt want to get caught masturbating but i was so horny at the same time. so i dont know what came over me but i grabbed his ass and squeezed it tight and pushed him off me (to show that i was just trying to get him off). so we were both laying face down and my hands still grabbing his ass tight. he grabbed my head and turned around and just took me down to his dick. his cock is not that long but its really wide and circumcised and his balls looked full and juicy. and i did the best i could with it. but obviously it was the ass i wanted to dig into. suprisingly he knew that, he turned around and told me to taste it directly, i asked him what he meant and he said he knew i was doing something with his underwear as they constantly moved position and then he came in after i fell asleep and noticed the area of the boxers that covered the ass had a wet patch on it. he was still puzzled so and dont be disgusted, he made sure he left a pair as dirty as he could (i didnt pay that much attention obviously doing it in the dark) and the next day they looked as if theyd been cleaned! and he thought it was hot so he figured come in that night and get his ass rimmed. nonetheless i was happy to oblige and feasted on it until my tongue got tired. i did rub my dick in between his cheeks but he said there was no chance and went to his room. next day a bit awkward, didnt speak at all, then night time he came in, used the toilet, opened the door and said well then do you want to or not. obviously i wanted to. and this pretty much happens as often as possible. it takes place mostly in the toilets unless my parents are out then he pretty much wants to be rimmed anywhere in the house.
its annoying though, that i cant just go out and find myself a beefy ass to eat or meet guys online (just in case, someone i know, knows them). so i havent had that much man on man action. though ive figured the best way to do it and stay discrete is to find somebody who i defos think will be into it and wants discretion too. most recently with a lad i work with. hes not amazing looking and didnt really notice him until he was wearing his trousers baggy and below his ass. he reached up and i saw his bubble butt. for some reason, i knew i could have him because i never seen him with a girl nor did he have any stories about them to tell, i was sure that he was a virgin too. anyways i got him to join the gym, just because i wanted to see his ass in the locker room. and the thing was just amazing, it literally jiggled from side to side when he walked in front of me. and when he took his briefs off i had a bit of pre cum. anyways i wasnt a master of seducing men so i didnt know how to go about doing it. so we were meant to go to gym which i knew closed early on sunday so i delayed myself to make sure we missed last entry. buzzing off a pre workout drink, i told him we couldnt waste the energy and may as well use the dumbells and bench in my house. so went back and started doing various exercises, at first i thought nothing would happen because i wouldnt dare initiate it and decided just to get some cheap thrills by watching his ass in action. so i thought what better way that to have that ass facing upwards so i told him to lie face down on the bench, gave him a dumbell in each arm and told him to stretch them back, he managed to do about 5 so i told him i would spot him. so i kind of climbed over the top of him, to assist him from the top and behind, i helped him do a couple of sets and on the last set increased the weight, the weight was quite heavy and i was finding it hard to "spot" him and then had the idea, pretend like i couldnt hold the weight from my position and gave away with my dick landing on his ass, left it for a few seconds, got a rapid boner and moved my ass in a circular motion, as soon as he moaned i knew i had him. and continued the circular motion whilst giving a few thrusts, he just moaned and said "thats big" referring to my dick (which actually isnt big but i did have a raging hard on at this point). so i took his vest off and started kissing his back, moved down to the lower back soon enough, and pulled his shorts down with my teeth. and licked his ass with 1 big lick from bottom to top, he moaned and started rubbing his hard dick on the bench while i dug into his ass. he didnt mind me putting my fingers in either. i figured i had a free house and just took him to the bedroom, fingered and sucked his asshole with my tongue and luckily he was eager to be fucked. his story was, he likes girls but can only get hard and wank over gay porn, although he wasnt a virgin and on a boys holiday to a european destination, met a guy at a hotel, told his boys that he wasnt up for a night out, went round the guys room and lost his virginity. i am looking for my next guy, plan was a phone call to a gay friend from uni, told him only about the colleague and exactly the kind of guys i want and exactly what i want to do from now on. showed me some of them on facebook, some of them look hot. then sent me pictures of his hairy bubble butt and told me i'd have to fuck him first (he has a boyfriend, guess that doesn't matter), so next weekend got a hotel booked, going to drive down and eat his ass and hopefully at least another guy over the weekend. sorry had to tell you all this but this stuff is recent so im very excited.
I have a roomie who's really hot... his older brother is even hotter...
I've sniffed their underwear, swapped their underwear with mine and even swapped underwear between them...
When my roomies brother is here we all get really drunk and they always end up passing out...
One thing with them both... they are deep sleepers and when they are drunk you really can't wake them up...
Once they both had been using the same kind of underwear... my roomie had been using them some days before and his brother had been using his the day before until he was talking a shower the same day before we went out...
They both passed out on the couch and I started to feel them up and before I unbottoned their pants I put my roomies hand on his brothers jeans bulge and his broters hand on his bulge...
I unbottoned their pants and again now I put their hands on each others boxer bulges...
I undressed them untill they only was wearing their tight boxers and while I was sniffing their bulges I rubbed them with their own hands...
I put my roomies hand inside his brothers underwear right on his cock and balls and his brothers hand inside my roomies underwear...
It was so hot to stand there on my knees right before those young hot brothers and watch their hands touching each other...
Now I stripped them down to nothing and I put my roomies underwear in his brothers face and his hand on the underwear so they would stay there just in front of his nose and I did the same thing with my roomie... then I put my roomies hand around his brothers cock and his brothers around his like if they where jerking each other of...
Then I started licking their balls...
I took away the underwear and their hands and started to lick and suck their cocks and soon they both where hard... Then I did the same thing with their hands... My roomies hand around his brothers cock and the same thing around...
I don't dare to make them cum because I'm affraid they might wake up then so I just let it be at this stage...
I moved them a bit closer to each other and made them lay on their sides... so close that their cocks where touching each other...
Then I made them lay next to each other like they just where sitting in the couch and jerked until I came... my cum landed on their cocks, balls and their stomachs...
I put my roomies underwear on his brother and his brothers underwear on my roomie and carried my roomie in to his bed and his brother to his bed and before I went to bed I sucked my roomies brothers cock again... I love his cock...
I have big hopes for next weekend when his brother will come back...
I've wanted to have sex with my brother or a pair of brothers/twins for the majority of my life, but have never had the opportunity. Does anyone know how to meet a pair of brothers/twins that want a gay threeway? any forums or groups for fans of brother sex?
I need help guys, im bi, and in the closet. I first realized im bi when i was a young boy, and my older brother (by 4 years) would have me play with his ass. I liked it, ans liked when he played with mine. Eventually we found our moms dildo, and wed fuck each other with that. We tried various things with each other, and eventualy stopped and pretended it never happened. Now hes 24 and im 21, i wanna come out to him, cause he came out to me.....but when i do, i wanna seduce him. Hes got a great ass, nice cock, and hes a twink like me. I just wanna have him pound me and drop his load in me a few times....id figured id introduce the idea by coming out to hime by showing a vid of me getting fucked. Let me know if any of you have any advice on how to do this.
^Somebody is trying to troll...
Yeah when younger me 16 him 17 we at home havin a beer or two and suddenly he said can i smell ur ass?so i let him part my cheeks and sniff my smelly ass crack!horny as!!
so not that any of you will care. but i got no one else to tell! but things have got more exciting. not sure why i didn't start with guys earlier. so much more easier than girls and less of a headache! been going to the gym with my brother a lot and we've started talking more openly about things like he'd be walking on the treadmill and saying "bet you wish you had your tongue in my ass right now". rimmed him a few times in the gym. and we agreed if he could fuck me, he would let me fuck him. so i did and the whole thing was overwhelming. can't even describe the feeling. it turns out he has a lot of fetishes. he likes to have his ass eaten when it is dirty. i'm crazy for him right now so i'm happily obliging.
My brother is one year older than me and married with two kids. When I was 17 and he was 18 he was desperate for money he was behind on his car loan I started working at 13 and worked ever since so by the time I was 17 I had £3000 in the bank. We shared the same room and one night he was almost crying which I had never seen him do he had 24 hours to pay up on his load or they would take it. He was begging me for the load $700. He always had a thought that i was gay or at least bi, but we never discussed it. He came over to my back and sat on the edge in his briefs. I can not tell you how hot he is and was. I asked how long before he could pay me back cause if he did not have it to pay him what would happen to me he said I could pay and will pay $50 a week. I said you know I am gay right he said I thought so but what that have to do with it? I said I want you to fuck me like you fuck a girl and kiss and stuff and each week if you miss a payment the same he had this stare like someone who saw someone was crazy grin. He said what if I can not get it up to fuck you I said oh you will! He got in bed we started kissing first with out tongue I was groping his crotch and he started to get hard. I started sucking him and he was loving it. I handed him ky and he fingered me with it and with my legs spread knees over his shoulders shoved his cock in he lasted longer than me at about 5 min I shot all over his abs. The next week he paid on time but the next week when he handed me the $50 he said can I fuck you I broke up with my gf. Until the load was paid we had sex even on weeks he paid. For a year after that I would suck him off if he got home from a date we never ever talk about this any more but it was good and we are close brothers.
Sorry everyone I forgot I had more or less done the short version last month. Did not mean to more or less repeat it.
Many of you guys have expressed a fantasy to have sex with twins and some have also expressed or had sex with their brother. I have experience both but not quite as you are thinking at the moment. I am a fraternal twin and have done everything with my twin. Separate from that with my older brother neither knew nor know that I played around with the other. I am from a large family so us kids used to share bedrooms and beds. My twin and I had a double bed for a few years and then bunk beds. We fooled around for years when it started I don't exactly remember.
The first recollection is fooling around in the bath when we were eight my twin stood up and his cock was hard after I had rubbed it with my foot under the water. I remember pulling him to me and I instinctively moved my head forward and started sucking his dick. After a few seconds he pulled away and said 'what you do that for?' or something like that. However I do remember my response as if it was yesterday ' I thought you would like it' the rest of what we said is hazy but he must of liked it because he put it back in my mouth. As we slept together in the double bed we would often be spooning each other when we woke up and would often cuddle just before we slept. I vaguely remember other times we fooled around with our cocks touching and me sucking him, but not often we were just kids and didn't really have any idea what we were doing we just knew it felt good.
Before the incident in the bath my older brother by 6yrs had started to fool around with me, he was going through puberty and his cock was much bigger than mine and he had pubes which was all new to me .I was mesmerised by him. It was all done in secret and I was told not to say anything to my other brothers and sisters and parents. There was no force or threats made to me by my older brother I wanted to be with him. I would sneak in to his room at night (he was the only one to have his own room, the box room,) he would embrace me and kiss me and we would froth together he would spunk all over my cock and stomach, he would also play with my arse not putting his finger in but just rubbing it around and around I would sometimes suck his cock when he asked but he didn't ask that often. I was a passive participant but I did not mind I loved to please him. I do remember that when he cum I didn't like the smell of it. It's funny now because I love the smells and scents of men.
This happened many, many, many times over the next few years I never had anal sex with my older brother although I know I craved for him to do it as I got older but just never asked him, although I knew he was in to arse play. As well as lying together rubbing our cocks he would stand up and I'd jump up and straddle his body with my legs around his back and my arms around his neck whilst he would hump his cock into the cleft of my arse, ha always kissed as we did this. As we both got older he obviously got bigger in the cock department as elsewhere and I would be sitting astride his hefty thick eight incher .I remember I used to love to jump on him feeling his hard shaft in my arse cheeks, and then feeling his hot spunk. There were other things that happened that made me know he liked my arse, as we got older he would spank me, he would also part my cheeks whilst over his lap and wet his two fingers and tap my hole for about ten minutes I used to like that and remember the exquisite sound it made and the feeling, opening it up a little. I so wanted him to put his finger in but he never did.
The only thing he ever put in my arse was rather bizarrely a needle. This was done when no one was home and started when I was about 12yrs old. He would place me naked over his lap and would part my cheeks and gently just prick me with the needle around my hole. It was bizarre but extremely simulating so much so my young boy cock would harden instantly. When I think about it now it gets me hot it's so hard to explain. The short pin pricks were electrifying and I craved it asking him at every opportunity when we were alone to do it, I remember he used to smile every time. He would also open me up by parting my hole with his fingers and then just pricking me with the needle on the fleshy walls by about a cm or two inside I just loved that and would thrash around on his lap. It is strange and with all my knowledge now and accesses to porn and info on the net I have not come across this fetish (I suppose that's what you call it.) In all the years we fooled around I never cum whilst with him although in the early years that was impossible the last three I was able to cum but it wasn't about me I wanted to please him.
We continued to fool around until I was 15 and he was 21 he then left home and got married and had a family we never did things again and we never spoke about it. I have never come out to my family and did marry and have children myself but am now divorced and solely gay. If I could have told someone it would have been him as I know he would have understood but sadly he passed away a few years ago, I miss him and I love him.
My twin brother and myself fooled around until we were 15 or 16 we progressed to fucking each other although over time he became to dislike it as I got bigger (not that big guys I'm only 7 inches,) and I stopped fucking him. He still continued to fuck me for a while but over time it ceased. He got a girlfriend and it just stopped naturally I suppose. He never sucked my cock but I would nearly always blow him, I remember his sweet cum I loved it. My older brother never sucked my cock either but both sometimes would jerk me off, my twin to orgasm in later years but my older brother would always stop before I came I don't know why? And I never finished myself off in front of him again I don't fully know why?
My twin also got married and had a family, and during a difficult time (bereavement) he had avoided meeting me to talk to me as it would have been too hurtful emotionally for both of us, as I was also feeling the same way. When we did meet he was emotional and he mentioned our time together. 'Me and you shared things together and as well as being your twin brother I'm finding this hard'
We just embraced and I didn't say anything about what he'd just said, that was twenty years ago and we have never spoke about it again.
My own experience of incest is now just a memory, although still quite vivid and is ignited in my dreams and occasionally when I wank off. And yes I do like reading incest about brothers but not other family members it's just not my thing but others should do what they want. I do however like Josman but have never had any feelings about my own dad.
I have tried to relay how I felt and the reasons for why brothers 'fool around' I think the vast majority of us do when we are young as we don't know initially that society says we shouldn't we are just naturally exploring our bodies and we find out we like what we do and how we feel. More importantly is there was no coercion used and I actively and passionately took part I do not regret my times with my brothers as I love them very much. I have recounted this before on another forum but just about my twin I have never recounted my time with my other brother it has been hard but even though he is not here with us anymore I do not believe he would mind me getting hot under the collar recalling it, in actual fact he'd be smiling.
The Lee Twins: it's vintage porn, the twin arrives at 1:07
Well, I actually had a sort of borderline experience. Like most brothers, we did have a certain amount of "let's dance on the bed naked" and "let's bop our peeners together just to be naughty" BS, but that doesn't count. Not hot or steamy AT ALL. There is no possible way that I could become aroused even thinking about it retrospectively.
However, I did have an experience with him one time that was potentially steamy, and I might have been able to get away with giving him a good hammering, stoned as he was. One time he came over to my place and smoked up some marijuana, which I declined except for one obligatory and unwanted puff.
Now, I did not like being under the influence of marijuana, so I eventually excused myself to go to bed and lay down, hoping for it to pass soon. I started drifting off to sleep, and I hoped that he would go back to our parents' house. However, he ended up stumbling into my room, stark naked, and snuggling his cute young body up against me. Well, being the noble sort of person that I am, I merely thought "dear God," gave him a little pat on his thigh, and turned over and went to sleep. Besides, I'm a bottom.
The funny thing is, I am gay, and he is straight. I am wondering suddenly if he is secretly bisexual, and the whole thing was a closet-bi, dysfunctional effort to get into bed with me. Seriously, the way he was arcing his back, that kid was ready to be drilled. Maybe I ought to call him up and talk to him. Hmm...nah, he was just stoned.
Anyway, that is my weird pseudo-incest story.
No, I do not think brother/brother incest is wrong. However, the thing is, if you are an older brother, harsh reality is that he will always be "that conniving, little brat," and you will always be "that priggish, egotistical, pretentious, pompous jerk." Even if two brothers could overcome the effects of sibling rivalry enough to give it a whirl, I doubt it would change their relationship very much. There is no way to make your brother anything to you besides your brother.

This is a classic and a goodie:
One of true gay fetishes, twins and brothers.
My real brother is kinda a dick. I've never remotely been attracted to him. He's not ugly, but his personality is a complete turn off. However, my step brother and were very active together from a pretty young age. Like maybe 13 or so.. Started small... Jerking off together led into playing doctor and started with the touching of each other... then came oral... then anal... we pretty much did it all. Both of us our married now in heterosexual successful marriages, but we always reminisce about our glory days. We've had a couple close calls where we almost did stuff after marriage, but haven't actually gone through with anything.. Neither one of us wanted to be guilty of cheating... So we haven't done anything since our early 20s. Which sucks... Almost 40 now, and I'd give anything to have his cock pound my ass now! Thankfully I have several dildos to get myself by, but I think the next time I have his cock within reach, I'm going for it.

I played around with 2 brothers when we were teenagers, jacking each other and trading head. One was my age and the other was 2 years older than we were. Both brothers were really good looking. The older brother and I only played once and I played with the one my age pretty frequently for about 3 years. I never let on to either that I'd been with his brother. Both brothers were very close and even had to share a bed because their bedroom was very small. I have no idea if they ever messed around with each other but I fantasized about it all the time.
Thanks for all the posts... some make me feel not alone. My older brother and I shared a room and when we were about 10/12, I remember after giving each other back rubs, he took his clothes off and I felt compelled to do the same (or he coerced me). Next thing, he's on top of me rubbing his hard dick against mine. I don't even remember the experience that vividly but it definitely created a new path for my mind to explore. The following weeks/months/years (don't remember how long) I remember wanting him to do more to me (we never did) but I did quite often purposely expose my dick while I was 'sleeping' and he would take his flashlight and shine it on my dick and masturbate. Whenever I would make a movement, he'd cover it up (thinking I might be 'waking') only to turn it to me again after he though all was clear. This went on for a while but never led to anything more. I have another younger brother and one night he and I were watching tv while the rest of the house was asleep. I remember exposing my dick and he looked at it and asked me if we could fool around... or something like that. I don't know how it led to this but next thing you know, he asks me to put my dick in his ass. I did, and am not sure for how long, but I don't know if it was enough for me to cum. That was the only time we ever fooled around. Not sure what went on between my other brothers but wouldn't be surprised. They both married, my older brother though committed suicide last October. I miss him so much and hope that our experience didn't play a part in his depression like it does with me. I am also suicidal (not only because of that) and regret the things that happened when we were young... I know I should just be able to accept it as a 'natural' thing that happens but it messes with me (or has messed with me) a lot. At the same time, I like reading the stories as fantasy but unless you actually experience it, you don't know how psychologically damaging it could be. Don't get me wrong, I love my younger brother a lot and we are the closest out of my 3 brothers (now 2) but it still is something you don't necessarily want to have looming in the back of your head while you experience time together. We actually talked about it without really talking about it more recently (I am 33 and he is 32) and I just told him that I never think about it and that it is just water under the bridge. I think that actually helped us both??? But my older brother and I weren't that close and I think a lot had to do with our encounter (and some other factors). I am generally 'messed up' with my sexuality and blame much of the onset on, not him, but that experience. He knew I was messed up too and I wonder if he ever blamed himself?

I wish I had a brother!
My little brother sucked, IN THE BAD WAY, don't get carried away. He
wanted to know what oral sex was like, so I happily obliged. It wasn't
a real intimate experience, he didn't what me to touch him, didn't want
me to move, he was just humping my mouth, HE NEVER EVEN CUMMED!
That's right, he got bored and finished without finishing, LAME.
He never even did me in return. Fooled me once, so shame
on him, fooled me twice and thrice, so shame on ME.
you can always rely on Jeremy kyle...
okay my brother was the first dick i ever had, he was the first to fuck me i sucked him off he was the first to ever piss on me, i think he came to me when he could not get pussy
SO hot. Love that you guys did buttcheek sex (it's actually one of my favorite ways to cum, since I cant stand rubbers but like to fuck, and it feels almost as good). And very cool that he had his first orgasm on your stomach. He may not be gay, but I bet you he'll never forget that.
Me and my brother shared a room so saw him nude lots and he saw me and we did puberty at the same time almost so wanked off together.
my roomie has a totaly hot older brother.
both are really sexy and I've seen them nude before.
one time when they bothe had passed out in my roomies bed I pulled out their cocks trough their flyes and played with them. since they where nex to each other, facing the other I could make their cocks touch each other.
I pulled back their foreskin and rubbed their heads against each other.
soon both where hard.
I licked and sucked their cocks at the same time as they where touching each other.
this was the first time I came without using my hands.
my underwear where all soked in cum when I left them that night.
Love all incest.gets me horny
wish i had a brother!!!
i don't get what people think is so horrible about brother-fucking. it's not like they're going to have kids.
I used to suck my bro off when he was asleep never got his cum though
great topic
Had sex with my brother as teens
me and my boyfriend had his straight brother over to stay with us awhile back, and so of course we all end up getting really drunk . . anyway, drunk talk turns to penis size and my boyfriend and his brother end up whipping them out to compare ... anyway, i of course had to be the drunken judge - examining each very carefully - but i had no measuring tape of anything like that, and so I just had to get them to stand face to face, hands on shoulders, so that is could put them side by side . . needless to say, two drunk young guys both got raging boners in no time as i sort of mashed and rubbed their cocks together and rubbed their cockheads into each others pubes, but the straight brother soon got kind of freaked out and put his away . . even so, i have jerked off to that memory many times, lol
It doesn't bother me either. Especially if close in age. It's all part of curiosity, playing "Doctor," etc.
I have a friend who is one of 12 siblings. He tells me all the brothers fucked each other as young teens, in the bath, after sports. As adults, some are straight, others are gay. No one was damaged, no one is in therapy.
ok i hesitate to share this . i guess i am a bit paranoid. when i was about 14 and my brother 16 we lived with our grandparents. they had a guesthouse that they used to call our playhouse. it was cool had a complete bathroom, bedroom, living room and kitchen. so one time we were over there doing i dont know what and he looks at me and says" oh just suk my dick" I tell him " well whip it out" . he did and much to his suprise i went down on him. he ended up fucking my face and cumming a pretty good load in my mouth which i swallowed. nothing happend again for a few years. right before he was going away for college he walked in on me fingering my ass and jerking off in the "guest house" . i tried to cover up but he was like its ok man i gotta do stuff to. he takes out his dick and starts to jerk it. it had grown over the past few years. i ended up sucking him and he told me he needed to fuck so i let him fuck me. i was still a virgin at 16 i mean back then being gay was not something you talked about. it hurt like hell, but i took it and some time later i got excited and could JO while he was fucking me . he fucked me and came inside me . when he would come back from college and i would ask him if he wanted to do it again he denied it ever happened.

So made a triple with the Wyeast 3789 Trappest Blend and the FG is 1.001. It tastes fine, though high alcohol, with a slight sourness, but I am thinking I should expect that from the Bret in the 3789. Any thoughts?
What specialty grains did you use? Some tend to have unfermentables and will leave you with some residual sweetness. How much sugar? All fermentable = drier. What was your mash temp? Higher temp less fermentable. Lower more fermentable.
The grain bill was very straight. 14lb belg pils, 4oz aromatic malt, 3oz Belg Carmel Pils. 2.5LB's of sugar were added to the beer three days after fermentation started. OG was 1.081. Just was shocked to see 1.001 as the FG.

For soda drinkers, the days of having to buy, lug, store and recycle thousands of soda cans and bottles per year may finally be over.
Israeli firm SodaStream International (SODA) provides a home-based solution for those who are ready to save on the cost of buying soft drinks, enjoy the convenience of creating a variety of carbonated drinks at home and reap the health benefits of drinking sodas that contain fewer calories and more natural ingredients.
Their innovative SodaStream machines allow users to carbonate water at home and add a variety of flavors that are similar or better in taste than conventional sodas. The company also sells carbonating bottles, CO2 cylinders and flavors.
A SodaStream representative demonstrates the product in Atlanta. Getty Images for SodaStream View Enlarged Image
With this convenience and cost savings also comes an environmentally friendly product, the company claims.
"An average American family uses 2,000 bottles and cans in their home every year," said Soda-Stream's CEO Daniel Birnbaum. "It's an incredible number. It's probably the highest amount in the world. In Europe, most homes will use about 1,200 to 1,500 bottles and cans at home in one year."
It Takes Oil To Make Bottles
The environmental cost of making the packaging of these bottles is very high. Water is necessary for manufacturing and it takes four times the volume of the package to make a plastic bottle, explains Birnbaum.
"It uses oil to manufacture and globally, sources such as the EPA claim that the world burns about 100 million barrels of oil just making soda bottles and cans in one year," he said. "And 100 million barrels is a lot of oil. It's 20 times the amount of oil that spilled in the BP spill in 2010.
"So, what SodaStream is doing is telling that story. And consumers now have a choice. They might not have had a choice five years ago, but now there is a choice. All you have to do is open your tap, you get fresh water out of your tap, and now you can transform that into your favorite soda in seconds."
The brand has been around for more than a century, but the firm relaunched the product in 2007 and went public at the end of '10.
Today, the company has more than 5.5 million consumers in 45 countries and distributes its products via 60,000 retail stores worldwide. In the U.S., it has a presence in 15,000 retail locations, including major retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), Williams Sonoma (WSM), Macy's (M), Target (TGT), Wal-Mart (WMT) and Costco Wholesale (COST).
Europe is a more established market, generating 49% of SodaStream's revenue. In the third quarter, sales rose 31% from the prior year in that region.
"The company has a long and successful history in Europe, where even today the company is posting meaningful growth despite high levels of household penetration in several markets and an established retail presence across the geography," states Canaccord Genuity analyst Scott Van Winkle in his research report.
The Americas generated 33% of total sales with an 80% year-over-year burst. It's a promising market for the company, as its consumer penetration is much lower in the U.S.
"(The U.S.) is representative of the biggest soda opportunity that we have," said Birnbaum. "Just last quarter, we sold over 2 million of our syrups in the U.S. alone, out of just over 7 million worldwide."
"The company has benefited greatly from outsized distribution expansion in the U.S. as retail buyers looked for real innovation in a moribund housewares category as lift from Keurig coffee makers started to wane," wrote Deutsche Bank analyst Bill Schmitz Jr. in his report.
Asia-Pacific is the other major emerging market. SodaStream launched in Japan in 2011. Next year, the company plans to enter India. China may follow.
The global market for carbonated soft drinks and sparkling water is estimated at more than $260 billion, with major players such as Coca-Cola (KO) and Pepsi (PEP) dominating the scene. SodaStream views this as a tremendous opportunity to expand its footprint. In addition, it enjoys a 90% market share in almost all of its markets.
As part of a new global advertising campaign, the company launched an ad featuring hundreds of soda bottles and cans disappearing with every use of the Soda-Stream machine. While the campaign successfully ran in the U.S., Sweden and Australia, it was censored by the U.K. advertising body due to its risk of "denigrating" the bottled drinks market.
While SodaStream was able to run a different ad, this incident provided the company with even more publicity. The banned ad's views on YouTube jumped from 50,000 prior to the ban to more than a million within a few days of the ban and 2.5 million most recently.
SodaStream offers 150 different flavors. Most have two-thirds less sugar and calories than leading brands. It also does not use high-fructose corn syrup, preferring natural cane sugar instead. All-natural mixers are sweetened only with cane sugar. Diet versions use Splenda or Stevia, while its flavored water syrups use unsweetened all-natural flavor essences and contain no calories, preservatives or artificial ingredients.
In addition, the company has entered into co-branding agreements in its flavors segment with major players such as Kraft, Breville and Campbell's (CPB). It now offers Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, Country Time and V8 syrups. Management expects more partnerships in the future.
Benefits Of Israel
SodaStream has 20 production facilities in nine countries. Five of those are in Israel. The company is building a new 1-million-square-foot facility in Israel, with the first phase expected to become operational by the end of 2013. It also received a grant from the Israeli government for this facility.
Being headquartered in Israel provides the company not only with an advantageous corporate tax rate of 10% or less, but also the ability to enjoy Israel's free-trade agreements with Europe and the U.S.
Its balance sheet is strong with no debt. Gross margins stood at 54% as of last quarter. The company raised its revenue and profit guidance for 2012.
The company has seen some competitors enter the market, primarily in northern Europe, as well as Cuisinart in the U.S.
"We welcome that type of competition," said Birnbaum. "It demonstrates that the category is legitimate, it will help expand the entire category. Because at the end of the day, we want home soda making to replace packaged soda."
