10. Peggy the Chimp
Key Role: Bonzo in Bedtime for Bonzo (1951).
Oscar-worthy Moment: Playing a chimp raised as a human child by anthropologist Ronald Reagan, Peggy gives a surprisingly understated performance that doesn't upstage the future president's.
After the Limelight: Peggy starred in a sequel, Bonzo Goes to College (1953). But unlike other California cronies of Reagan's, she failed to land a White House job in 1981.

NEW YORK (AP) — Royalty Pharma said Monday that it wants to buy Elan Corp. PLC for about $6.5 billion, but has yet to receive a formal response from the Irish drugmaker.
Royalty Pharma offers to buy Elan for about $6.5B
The $11-per-share offer, which was made earlier this month and applies to both Elan's regular and American depository shares, represents a 4 percent premium over its closing ADS price on Friday.
The news sent Elan's U.S. shares up 54 cents, or 5.1 percent, to close at $11.14 Monday, after peaking at $11.62 shortly after the session's opening bell.
Royalty Pharma, a private company based in New York, acquires royalty interests in marketed and late-stage biopharmaceutical products. It does not discover, develop or market drugs.
The company said Monday that Elan hadn't formally responded to its proposal and that it's been unsuccessful in engaging the company in talks since the proposal was made.
Elan released a statement questioning the timing of Royalty Pharma's announcement, calling it "highly opportunistic," but left the door open for future offers from Royalty Pharma or other suitors, saying that it will consider any "credible" offer.

Damages for the Injuring or Killing of an Animal in Swiss Law By Dr. Eveline Schneider Kayasseh1 I. Introduction On 1 April 2003, after perennial preparatory work and heated public debates, new provisions in the Swiss Code of Obligations2 and the Swiss Civil Code3 became effective which brought about a change in the legal status of animals as well as reflecting the special significance of some animals to their keepers4. The main aim of the statutory changes, some of which will be discussed in this paper, was according to the legislative body the improvement of the legal position of the animals. Furthermore, the lawmaker wanted to accommodate in the law the changed perception of animals by the general public. To that effect, the focus of the legislator was on animals with which persons interact on a daily basis out of sentimental interest and which will hereinafter be called "companion animals". II. The Legal Status of Animals Due to the prevailing Roman legal tradition Swiss law did not differentiate between things and ani- mals before the legislative change in the year 2003. In fact, animals were not separately mentioned in the law of property at all, which simply referred to "things". As in other countries, animals were not legally recognized "persons" either and, if they were not living in the wild, were normally in the property of a person. On 1 April 2003, Article 641a of the Swiss Civil Code came into effect. Article 641a holds the follow- ing: 1 2 " Tiere sind keine Sachen. Soweit für Tiere keine besonderen Regelungen bestehen, gelten für sie die auf Sachen an- wendbaren Vorschriften." 1 Eveline Schneider Kayasseh, J.D. magna cum laude University of Zurich, Switzerland 2009. All the topics men- tioned in the present paper are discussed in detail in the author's doctoral dissertation "Haftung bei Verletzung oder Tötung eines Tieres – unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Schweizerischen und U.S.-Amerikanischen Rechts" (Damages for the Injuring or Killing of an Animal – under a Comparative Perspective of the Swiss and U.S.-American Law), edited by Schulthess Publishing House, Zurich 2009. 2 Systematic Compilation of the Federal Legislation, SR number 220. 3 Systematic Compilation of the Federal Legislation, SR number 210. 4 Amendments were also made to the Swiss Penal Code and the Swiss Prosecution and Insolvency Law. Howev- er, this paper focuses on the legal position of animals as well as damages for the injuring or killing of an animal. 1 1 2 ( Animals are not things. Insofar as there are no special provisions relating to animals, they are governed by the provi- 5 sions that apply to things .) Probably as a result of opposition in the Swiss parliament and the prevailing fear of certain interest groups that animals could be deemed juristic persons, no separate category for animals was intro- duced into law. The new law simply states that animals are no longer "things", but it does not clarify their actual position within the framework of the law. Moreover, the "special provisions relating to animals" mentioned in paragraph 2 are predominantly improving the position of the animal's owner or keeper, and not of the animal itself. It crystallizes from the legislative material that Article 641a of the Civil Code is primarily of a declara- tive nature and animals do still not have an acknowledged legal personality and thus remain personal property; neither have they gained legal standing. It can be said though that the result is a compro- mise but more clarity would have been desirable. Nevertheless, Article 641a of the Civil Code is a step in the right direction: animals are no longer things in Swiss Law, which is in itself a remarkable achievement. III. Valuation Concepts in Swiss Law A. Tort Law 1. Preface: The Valuation of Property There is no definition in Swiss law as to what constitutes damage (Schaden). According to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland6, damage is measured based on the difference in the plaintiff's wealth immediately before and after the defendant's tort. In other words, damages (Schadenersatz) are measured based on the idea that the plaintiff's balance sheet shows a pecuniary loss (loss of net worth) as a result of the defendant's actions. One whose property is damaged, converted or de- stroyed is not entitled to recover for sentimental attachment to the property, except if the defen- dant's actions amount to a qualified injury of a person's individual inherent rights (violation of the plaintiff's personality)7. Generally speaking, if personal property is completely destroyed, the cost of replacement with an equivalent is to be reimbursed. The same applies to mere harm to property, if the costs of repair together with other costs are disproportionate compared with the replacement value8. If the harm to the property is minor, reasonable costs of repair as well as any remaining diminution in value consti- tute the measure of damages. 5 Unofficial translation by the author. 6 See e.g. Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, decision no. 133 III 462, page 471. 7 Articles 47 and 49 of the Swiss Code of Obligations (Systematic Compilation of the Federal Legislation, SR number 220). 8 Adjustments might be made if the replacement goods are worth more than the original. 2 In order to recover damages, a plaintiff must not only prove harm, but also unlawfulness of the de- fendant's action, fault and causation. 2. Traditional Approach with Regards to Animals In keeping with the animal's legal status of property, the measurement of damages followed the rules developed for personal property. So in principle, if an animal was injured or killed, its owner was entitled to recover the animal's replacement cost or expenses incurred as a result of the curative treatment of the animal (veterinary expenses), as the case may be, as long as the latter were not higher than the replacement value. It has been noted by some scholars though, that the courts would not have ruled out the recovery of higher veterinary expenses in any case9. 3. Current Approach with Regards to Animals a) In General In 2003, Articles 42 paragraph 3 and 43 paragraph 1bis of the Swiss Code of Obligations came into effect. Article 42 paragraph 3 specifically deals with veterinary expenses, while Article 43 paragraph 1bis foresees the possibility of recovering the sentimental value of an animal to its owner (Affektions- wert) under certain circumstances. These provisions quite clearly acknowledge that some animals' worth is not primarily financial, but emotional. Articles 42 paragraph 3 and 43 paragraph 1bis have in common that they are only applicable if an an- imal is kept in the domestic environment and not for pecuniary or profit-making purposes10. The exact meaning of this phrasing has not been clarified by a court yet. It may be said though, that the animal in question must be kept privately and in a certain spatial proximity to its owner or keeper, as the case may be. Additionally, the sentimental interest in the animal must at least outweigh pecu- niary interests. If pecuniary interests prevail and/or the animal is not kept privately, it is regarded as a "commercial animal" and damages will be determined according to the traditional method. b) Veterinary expenses Article 42 paragraph 3 of the Swiss Code of Obligations, which deals with the recovery of veterinary expenses for companion animals, holds the following: "Bei Tieren, die im häuslichen Bereich und nicht zu Vermögens- oder Erwerbszwecken gehalten werden, können die Hei- lungskosten auch dann angemessen als Schaden geltend gemacht werden, wenn sie den Wert des Tieres übersteigen." (In the case of animals that are kept in a domestic environment and are not kept for pecuniary or profit-making purposes, 11 medical treatment costs may be asserted reasonably even if they exceed the value of the animal .) 9 It has to be pointed out, though, that no cases were officially reported. 10 The same precondition applies to several other provisions which have been added to the Swiss Code of Obli- gations and the Swiss Civil Code as well as other laws in 2003. 11 SWISS AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Swiss Code of Obligations. Volume I: Contract Law (Articles 1-551). English Translation of the Official Text, Zurich 2008. 3 In other words, courts can allow recovery of veterinary expenses incurred as a result of an injury to a companion animal, even if these costs are higher than the animal's actual value. Obviously, the im- portance of the animal's value for determining the proper measure of damages has become less but it has not been eliminated completely due to the reference to the reasonable nature of such costs. So what constitutes reasonable treatment costs? From the legislative material it can be gathered that the courts will have to consider how a reasona- ble owner in the position of the plaintiff would have acted if he would have had to pay for the in- curred veterinary costs himself. Thereby the judge has to consider the emotional relationship be- tween a human being and a companion animal as an established fact recognized by our society as well as by the law. c) Damages for Non-Pecuniary Loss (1) Sentimental Value of the Animal (Affektionswert) Before the legislative change in the year 2003, the term "Affektionswert" - generally speaking, the sentimental or emotional value of a thing to a person – was not mentioned in any of Switzerland's laws. Corresponding to the notion that most animals that are kept as companions have an emotional value to their keepers, the legislator recognized that where a living creature rather than a mere thing has been harmed unlawfully, the plaintiff should be in a position to claim damages for the sentimen- tal attachment to the animal. Hence, paragraph 1bis was added to Article 43 of the Swiss Code of Ob- ligations: "Im Falle der Verletzung oder Tötung eines Tieres, das im häuslichen Bereich und nicht zu Vermögens- oder Erwerbszwe- cken gehalten wird, kann er dem Affektionswert, den dieses für seinen Halter oder dessen Angehörige hatte, angemessen Rechnung tragen." (In the event of injury or death of an animal that is kept in a domestic environment, and is not kept for pecuniary or profit- making purposes, the judge may take into account to a reasonable degree the emotional value of such animal to the keeper 12 or the persons close to him .) According to the legislative material and the interpretation of the law, the keeper needs not neces- sarily to be identical with the owner, and his or her relatives have a separate claim for compensation too, if they can successfully prove a qualified attachment to the diseased, injured or killed animal. Further, compensation for the sentimental value has to be made on top of the replacement costs or the veterinary expenses or even in addition to all of these costs, depending on the circumstances of the case. The idea of awarding compensation for the sentimental value of an animal to its owner/keeper and/or relatives, which constitutes non-pecuniary loss, and the associated difficulty of determining whether and to what extent someone has suffered such loss, as well as the legal qualification of this award, have been hotly debated13. Additionally, the lawmaker and the doctrine voiced their concern 12 SWISS AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Swiss Code of Obligations. Volume I: Contract Law (Articles 1-551). English Translation of the Official Text, Zurich 2008. 13 In Switzerland, the concept of damage (Schaden) traditionally only concerned pecuniary losses which can be assessed in damages. 4 about the difficulty of differentiating between the "sentimental value of an animal to its keeper" and compensation for emotional distress caused by an injury to individual inherent rights as per the Swiss Code of Obligations Article 49. The sentimental value of an animal represents to the keeper14 a real, if non-pecuniary, value and may be defined as the whole of the positively perceived aspects of the human-animal relationship. The compensation of the sentimental value has to be paid on top of the replacement value and the re- ward must reflect the intensity of the relationship between human and animal. (2) Reparations for Severe Emotional Distress Sometimes an injured or killed animal does not only have a sentimental value to its owner or keeper which must be compensated but the plaintiff also claims to have suffered emotional distress due to the circumstances of the case. Swiss law grants a person who has suffered qualified emotional dis- tress due to physical or mental injury or an unlawful injury to his or her individual inherent rights the right to recover non-pecuniary damages in the form of "satisfaction" (Genugtuung) under certain conditions (Articles 47 and 49 of the Swiss Code of Obligations). As a general principle it can be said that only significant violations entitle a person to a monetary compensation for emotional distress. This is because damages for non-pecuniary loss are handled with some reserve in Switzerland and therefore no satisfaction is due for insignificant harm. In connection with the present discussion, Article 49 paragraph 1 of the Swiss Code of Obligations is of particular interest: "Wer in seiner Persönlichkeit widerrechtlich verletzt wird, hat Anspruch auf Leistung einer Geldsumme als Genugtuung, sofern die Schwere der Verletzung es rechtfertigt und diese nicht anders wiedergutgemacht worden ist." (If individual inherent rights are injured, the damaged person may, where there is fault, claim compensation for damage sustained and, if the particular seriousness of the injury and of the fault justify it and has not been compensated otherwise, 15 claim payment of a sum of money as reparations. ) The gravity of the offence may justify a monetary award for instance in the following circumstances: an animal was tortured to death, it was severely mutilated or in other cases of malicious intent and/or cruelty to animals. d) Punitive Damages Punitive damages are not a concept of Switzerland's legislation, and the Swiss Federal Court stated in a decision of 2004 that punitive damages are contrary to Swiss ordre public16. 14 And/or his or her relatives. 15 SWISS AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Swiss Code of Obligations. Volume I: Contract Law (Articles 1-551). English Translation of the Official Text, Zurich 2008. 16 Decision of the Federal Swiss Supreme Court no. 5P.91/2004 of 24 September 2004. 5 B. Contractual liability In many instances the animal's owner may have been injured by tort and breach of contract simulta- neously (e.g. in many cases where the defendant is a veterinarian) and may therefore lodge a claim under both theories. If the animal's owner bases his or her claim on breach of contract, the senti- mental value of the animal to the keeper may also be recovered, due to the reference of Article 99 paragraph 3 (contractual liability) to Article 43 paragraph 1bis of the Swiss Code of Obligations. IV. Conclusion In Switzerland, animals are no longer things but they are not legally recognized persons either. Re- cent new provisions in Swiss Private Law allow the owner17 not only to recover the replacement val- ue of a companion animal, but state that a reasonable compensation may be demanded for the sen- timental value and/or incurred veterinary expenses. The expenses incurred as a result of the curative treatment of an animal are no longer capped at its replacement value. However, the newly intro- duced provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations are not applicable where a commercial animal is injured or killed and conditions apply. 17 Owner, keeper and/or his or her relatives, as the case may be. 6

Husband Watching Doctor Fucking Wife
Bang My Wife
I was out at a Country bar one evening with this married couple that I had met at this bar a few months ago. It was a normal night and not much was happening. The guy had went to the
hroom and when he left, his wife whispered to me that he had given her permission to take me home with them and fuck me, if I was into that kind of thing. She said that he wasn't sure of what my reaction would be, so she was tasked with asking me. I said that I would be okay with it if her hubby was. When he came back, she went to the Restroom and we talked. I told him what she had said and that I was okay with it if he was. He smiled and said that he was totally cool with it. He confided that he was also submissive. We agreed to pay our tab and go to their house.
I was more excited then them because I am very closet "bi" and this was my opportunity to push the limits. Given my conversation with the husband, I had a feeling that I could get some cock myself if I played it right.
We got to their house and those two started kissing. I went over and started kissing his wife. After a while of heavy petting, she suggested we all go into the bedroom and get naked! One in the bedroom, I laid her on her back and started to lick her pussy and suck on her clit. She was soaked and I swear she must have came within seconds after my tongue was inserted in her snatch. After about 10 minutes of pussy eating, I told her husband to come over and taste how good she was. He dove right in! I then started to work on her tits and straddled her face to fuck her mouth. Her husband was still eating her out and watching me fuck his wife's face from behind. I then told him to stay at the foot of the bed and I slid down and stuck my cock inside her wet, warm snatch. I told her husband to stay on the floor at the foot of the bed and watch as I fucked his wife. That would be a hot view for him. After about 5 or 10 minutes of fucking her, I got off and slid to the foot of the bed and told her husband that I wanted him to taste how good his wife was. He started to slid up to eat her pussy but I stopped him and said that I wanted him to lick her juices off my cock. He hesitated for a moment, looked up at her, and receiving a wink from her, engulfed my cock with his mouth. After a few minutes of this, I stopped him so I could once again fuck his wife. As I was fucking her, he stood up on the bed and said that I was now going to taste how good he tasted, and stuck his cock in my mouth. I wanted to concentrate on blowing him, so we switched positions so I laid on my back, his wife on top fucking me, and he straddled my chest and was fucking my face.
It wasn't long before he was fucking my face hard and shooting a nice warm load of semen in my mouth! All along, his wife is riding my hard cock and having orgasm after orgasm. It wasn't long before I shot my load deep inside of her. Afterwards, we laid there for a few minutes. When I noticed that her husband was hard again. I told him that it was time he tasted my load. So, I made him go down on his wife and eat her snatch while I blew him again!
We all were satisfied many times that evening. I even watched him fuck his a wife that night and we both fucked her a few times.
We haven't done it again yet, but we still hang out at the same bar and I can tell they are still interested. That was two weeks ago so I am rushing it? lol
Sex With Sister-in-law
My older bro married his wife when she was 15 and i was 12. she let me start fucking her a year later, it started one night when he was gone on the road and we were watching tv lieing on a daybed, she let me feel her up and finger her pussy under the covers, but we could'nt do any more because her little sister was there [fucked her too another story] but the next morn i got up early went to her room where she was waiting man it was so hot fucking her knowing who she was. we're still fucking off and on last time was about a year ago and its still hot.
Licking Cock While Fucking Pussy
This is how I learned to be bi. I dated a couple in Mobile whose wife loved watching her husband suck my cock after I fucked her.
She was riding me as I was lying on my back and she pulled off my cock to sit on my face. As I was enjoying her wet pussy, I felt her husband put my cock in his mouth and ....Viola...I was hooked.
Soon I was licking his cock and balls and her clit as he fucked her.
Ladies, this DROVE HER WILD.
They had taught me what it's worth to enhance the pleasure of licking, sucking, and tasting a women who's wet.
Now I'm HOOKED and would love to share this wonderful expereince with the newly bicurious.
Men Licking Pussy While She Is Getting Fucked
This is how I became bi
I was dating an incredible couple in Mobile (for over 3 years till they moved to Miami) and she asked me to lick her pussy while her husband was fucking her.
I had already fucked her and cum on her face with him watching and we had done so many other things together, dp, 69, so many
s combo's I still dream about it.
When I started licking her clit with his cock right above my forehead, I could see his cock sliding into her pussy and it drove me wild as well.
The way she trembled was amazing.
We fucked for over 3 hours that day and this was how it began.
I'm telling you....providing a visual during a fucking makes the fucking more exciting.
And the way she moaned could have been a porn Emmy.
Helping people have "memorable sex" is what makes me seek all this again.
Men - lick her pussy.
Ladies - lick her.
EVERYONE should try this if they think they like sex....."you ain't seen nuth-in yet" till you've seen a woman tremble with this kind of orgasm.

Men Eating Other Mens Cum From Their Wifes Pussy
I love watching another man sliding his cock in and out of my wife's pussy as she is having orgasms. Then when he shoots his hot cum inside her they have simultaneous orgasms. It is especially exciting if I am licking his cock and her pussy while they are fucking. When he pulls his cock out of her pussy I love to lick and suck him clean of their love juices, then I love to lick and suck his semen out of her vagina. I love the taste and feel of it.

There are a group of women and men watching this exciting sex show starring me. Then we all three cum and I feel hot semen shooting deep inside my ass while another penis is spurting delicious semen into my mouth and my cock is shooting my cum into a welcoming mouth. I would love to be the star of that show.

Bisexual Swing Clubs
We've been to the Swinger's Palace in Pittsburgh, and had a good time. It's a house that's been converted into an on-premise swing club. They have bi nights the first Saturday and third Friday (or perhaps it's the other way around) of each month where straight single guys are not allowed, but bimale activity is accepted the other days as well as they accept CDs, TVs and TSs. They have a hot tub on the main floor, and party rooms on the second, three open rooms (including a couples room where single men are not allowed) and three private rooms. We had a really good time there watching other couples fucking including watching a "shy" woman doing three men, and being watched ourselves including a threesome with a bi male. Hopefully we can go there another time.

I am a married man looking for a man to develop a relationship with. I am bisexual and would like to meet another guy. My wife is into watching me and another guy get it on and hopes I can find a guy to develop a relationship with. She is also open to perhaps sharing in the experience with me if the situation was ideal. We are professionals and have a diverse array of interests and friends. I am looking for a down to earth guy who is serious about fostering a friendship with me and is willing to go slow to eventually incorporate my wife. I would not be interested in one night stand types. We enjoy going out and like many forms of entertainment. We are down to earth people who are discret and completely disease free. We would like only the same to reply.

I am a very dedicated man and committed husband who is very curious due to my relationship with my spouse. My wife is a drop dead sexy very well curved in right places black woman with very big black nipples and is very orgasmic that loves being taken by a hung black man. She loves the idea of a sexy slow soft encounter with a woman. She wants to see me suck a big black dick. She wants to see me get taken by a big dick as he slams it to me. She wants to see him suck my cock also. She wants me to put his clock in her pussy and lick her clit while he is buried deep in her. She wants me to lick and suck up his cum out of her when he has exploded deep in her. She wants me to make love to his big long and thick dick.

I'm a hopeless romantic, he is not. so i would like to find someone that enjoys those things too. getting or giving flowers for no reason.

I the male actually like the best of both worlds mmf-bisex where the wife/gf gets to start by watching and playing with herself while 2 guys play starting with sucking with her guiding us, then to her saying she wants to see the 2 guys fuck and how hot it is getting her. Then the porn that shows a man fucking a woman missionary and as he is fucking her the other guy fucks his ass. Or the one guy is getting pounded hard, while he eats out the woman.
the female here, watching 2 guys fuck is so hot, especially with a more dominant girl guiding them into doing it. I get so soaking wet watching mmf-bisexual porn with my husband.
One December day we found an old straggly cat at our door. She was a sorry sight. starving, dirty, smelled terrible, skinny, and hair all matted down. We felt sorry for her so we put her in a carrier and took her to the vet. We didn't know what to call her so we named her 'pussycat.'
The vet decided to keep her for a day or so. He said he would let us know when we could come and get her.
My husband (the complainer) said, 'OK, but don't forget to wash her, she stinks.' He reminded the vet that it was his WIFE (me) that wanted the dirty cat, not him.
My husband and my Vet don't see eye to eye. The vet calls my husband 'El-Cheap-O', and my husband calls the vet 'El-Charge-O'. They love to hate each other and constantly 'snipe' at one another, with my husband getting in the last word on this particular occasion.
The next day my husband had an appointment with his doctor, who is located in the same building, next door to the vet. The MD's waiting room and office was full of people waiting to see the doctor.
A side door opened and the vet leaned in - he had obviously seen my husband arrive. He looked straight at my husband and in a loud voice said, 'Your wife's' pussy doesn't stink any more. We washed and shaved it, and now she smells like a rose. Oh, and, by the way, I think she's pregnant. God only knows who the father is!' Then he closed the door.
Now THAT, my friends, is getting even!

I am very much bi and an exhibitionist. Still, I love watching others as well.
One of my most memorable times with a couple was hen the husband only wanted to watch. I loved knowing he was sitting on the chair, watching. I did my best to give him a great view as I made oral sex and had intercourse with his wife. He realized that I was serious about loving to be watched - he soon was up and walking around for the best view.
When we got together the 2nd time, he was nude in the bed with us. mostly watching but sometimes participating, having his cock sucked by his wife a I pleased her in various ways. When she returned from the bathroom, she was very surprised to see her husband's cock being orally serviced by me. I motioned her over and soon we were sharing his cock.
9 to 5 ......... or .....
A man wakes up in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, �Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a pile-up on the freeway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, but..... something happened. I'm trying to break this gently, but the fact is, your willy was chopped off in the wreck and we were unable to find it.�
The man groans, but the doctor goes on, �You've got $9000 in insurance compensation coming and we have the technology now to build you a new willy that will work as well as your old one did -better in fact! But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's $1000 an inch.�
The man perks up at this. �So,� the doctor says, �it's for you to decide how many inches you want. But it's something you'd better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before, and you decide to go for a nine incher, she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before, and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time, she might be disappointed. So it's important that she plays a role in helping
you make the decision.�
The man agrees to talk with his wife. The doctor comes back the next day.�So,� says the doctor, �have you spoken with your wife?�
�I have,� says the man.
�And has she helped you in making the decision?�
�Yes, she has,� says the man.
�And what is it?� asks the doctor.
�We're getting granite countertops.�
Be Happy
D i c k
I'll admit it...I get very turned on watching two guys together - mostly sucking, though, rather than fucking, although that's fine too if they start out sucking. HOWEVER, if there are three or four males where the first one fucking the second one, who is fucking the third one, who is fucking the fourth one, all at the same time - that's even better than watching them sucking each other off!
It would be nice to have another man in the room with us . We always wanted to have a 3 some. Being watched or watching someone fucking my wife is a fantasy of mine. Also would love to suck on a man cock while my wife watches us.
Im 4yrs married to a lovely woman...problem is I've be fucking my wife's ex husband (and his new wife) for about 3 yrs. To be honest I cant get enough of that big ass dick of his.
I love watching my husband being with another man. Everything from watching them kiss, all wrapped around each other, to the sucking, and I can't wait to watch the ass-fucking. I get hotter watching my man do the sucking, because it's about seeing this man that I love in a different-than-usual role. But I get hot watching his enjoyment of being sucked off as well. I'm a bit proud of his talents actually. I like watching him so focused on what he's doing, and knowing how much he enjoys swallowing all that cum!
I've watched male on male porn and it can be a turn on, especially if it's two big manly men, which for me is usually tall, broad shouldered, real muscles (not body-builder type), one of them with some good manly body-hair, and at least one has to have some facial hair, even if just stubble. Men kissing men is just awesome for me. As for the rest, I find porn too staged and showy. I haven't watched two strangers in person... hmm, maybe I'll add that to my list.
But when it comes to watching my husband, it's more about watching him do something out of the ordinary. We have been with a few guys over the last few years, and we've enjoyed it all. I definitely want some attention as well, but I like to sit back to watch the men when it's their turn. I can wait to join in after they have some fun together. (I've been thinking though that maybe one of these times I should have more than just two men there... once they've shot a couple times each, I need more attention!! and they tend to get worn out. I think I'd like to line up a few others so my own pleasure can keep going on, and on, and on....
Maybe I should change my profile. I stated there that snowballing is out of the question for me however, that is assuming sex with strangers. I still think swapping cum around puts a person at risk for an STD, but in a polyamory relationship anything goes with me. If I can be sure that the woman in a triad is only having sex with her husband and her husband is only having sex with her and me then it's ok. If we were actually living together I can easily see myself eating a cream pie and sharing it with another member of the household or any combination of swapping it around. Hell, I don't even know if I can make another man cum in my mouth. If any wives out there would like to show me how to satisfy there husband I'm all ears (and mouth, tongue, fingers, etc.). LOL At this point I'm not interested in fucking or getting on with anyone's wife. It would be nice if she joined in, but just sucking cock with the guy's wife or significant other present would do for me. Too many chefs spoil the broth as far as I'm concerned. I spit and don't swallow....where I spit is up to whom I'm with.
Women with a strapon is a very erotic experience, I've had a few use one on me (7" is a nice size), often the wife of couples I have seen, either I bring one along that I have for just such an opportunity, or they already have one. Most of the women even have orgasms while using the strapon, just getting off from the sensations of the strap between thier legs, and the thought of fucking a man. The best part is that they all have been very attentive, sensual fucks - they want to make sure thier partner gets the pleasure he is expecting. Probably the most erotic experience I have had (and shared) was fucking a husband while the wife fucked me - we all had some very intense orgasms from that one!!!!! BTW, if there are any fems in NJ - both myself and my strapon are ready!!!!!
this is my biggest fantasy I would like sucking on a dick In front of his wife or girlfriend and fucking each other in front Her and if the husband Or boyfriend want me to service his wife or girlfriend
The reason I was having the same problem was because I subconsciously was needing to get a better orgasm from fucking my wife- therefore I was denying the b/j squirt in favor of fucking my wife.
A man staggers into an emergency room with two black eyes and
a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally the
doctor asks him what happened.
Well, it was like this, said the man. I was having a quiet round of
golf with my wife, when she sliced her ball into a pasture of cows.
We went to look for it, and while I was rooting around I noticed
one of the cows had something white at its rear end. I walked
over and lifted up the tail, and sure enough, there was my
wife's golf ball........stuck right in the middle of the cow's
butt. That's when I made my mistake.
"What did you do?" asks the doctor.
Well, I lifted the tail and yelled to my wife, "Hey, this looks like
A suspicious husband hired a private eye to check on the movements of his wife. In addition to a written report, the husband wanted a video of his wife's activities.
A week later, the detective returned with a film. They sat down together and proceeded to watch it.
Although the quality was less than professional, the man saw his wife meeting another man! He saw the two of them strolling arm in arm and laughing in the park. He saw them enjoying themselves at an outdoor cafe. He saw them dancing in a dimly lit nightclub. He saw them take part in a dozen activities with utter glee.
"I just can't believe this," said the distraught husband.
"What's not to believe?" the detective said. "It's right up there on the screen!"
"I simply can't believe my wife could be so much fun!" the husband replied.
Be Happy
D i c k
P.S. My husband is bi and I am not, but I don't mind watching him and he never plays with out me there but not playing, watching fully clothed, some men have a prob with that but that is thier prob and my husband won't play with them.
We like to play with cpls who like to eat cream pies.We will play in the same bed. He is fucking with my wife and i'm fucking with his wife.Whem we cum i will lick and suck his cock cleam and he will do the same to me. He will then suck his wife pussy and i suck my wife pussy.BI. guys try it you will like it.BI>.

Fox TV's Glenn Beck is known for being a blowhard when it comes to the Obama Administration - he recently went so far as to even accuse the president of being a "racist." But whodathunk his ire would land on the country's new green czar?
On Monday, the conservative commentator's war of words turned in the direction of Van Jones, the special advisor for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Beck accused him of being - gasp - a radical.
It turns out that an activist group called Color of Change, promoting a boycott of Beck's advertisers had been co-founded by Jones. Jones, who has been hailed as an environmental hero, is listed on the site as inactive.
But for the record, being a radical isn't necessarily a bad thing. When it comes to green policy, I kind of like the idea of having someone in charge who's a bit of a revolutionary.

If you've decided to commit to healthy living, you likely understand the sacrifices it will take. You will begin to notice words like deep-fried, gravy, and extra-cheese slowly becoming removed from your day to day life. While your heart will thank you, your taste buds may eventually riot. Because if you're getting stuck in the rut of eating the same bland food all the time, a boring routine can cause you to cheat on your diet. And as many people who struggle with weight loss know, cheating can be a slippery slope to falling off the diet completely.
Don't allow yourself to become discouraged, in fact, hope is out there! The key to staying disciplined with your diet is variety and flavor. Consider these ideas for spicing up your life, and spicing up your diet.
Taco Tuesdays
It's a known fact, if you eat tacos on a Tuesday, they just taste better. Tacos are also a great way get your vegetables. Load up on tomatoes, lettuce, grilled peppers and be sure to go with black beans instead of refried. Keep in mind, soft corn tortillas contain less fat than hard shell tacos. Finally, throw on some salsa, or better yet, guacamole, since avocados are loaded with important nutrients, and to really spice things up, enjoy dinner with a low calorie margarita.
Cook with Tea
The Chinese have been cooking with tea for hundreds of years. It's time the rest of the world caught on as well. Using tea is a great way to add to flavor without having to resort to extra sugar or fat. You can substitute tea for water in many dishes including stir fry, or with poached salmon.
Cooking with tea is not only a boost to flavor, but it will contribute to your health as well. Organically grown tea will maximize those benefits. Dandelion root tea is an herbal tea known for its richness in vitamins and antioxidants, and also its ability to help with digestion. It can be used as a rub or marinade, a healthy way to dress up your meats.
Drink your Veggies
When it comes to food, green is good. We know the many benefits of spinach, kale, cucumbers, and collard greens, but trying to eat greens on a daily basis isn't exactly a mouth-watering proposition. However a green smoothie is a fun, delicious way to incorporate greens into your daily routine. You can mix them with tasty fruits such as apples, pears, mangos and bananas which will help your greens go down much easier. Green smoothies are easy to digest, and because they contain a lot of water, they fill you up as well.
Cheese Please
Not all cheese is bad for you, and there are many ways you can enjoy life, and enjoy cheese at the same time:
- Feta: A one ounce serving of feta has 4 grams of protein and only 74 calories. Feta is perfect with salads, sweet potatoes, fruits, and even soups. Feta is a strong tasting cheese so a little bit goes a long way.
- Swiss: Because it's a hard cheese, swiss is richer in phosphorus than most cheeses, and it also contains a good dose of calcium and protein. It's the perfect complement to a sandwich, or an omelet, or to snack on with crackers.
- String Cheese: It's not just for 5 year olds anymore, string cheese is an excellent quick and easy on the run snack item. A part-skim mozzarella serving contains 7 grams of protein. It's hardly even a processed cheese, the "stringiness" is actually how mozzarella naturally behaves, so peel away and get in touch with your inner child again.
- Parmesan: Parmesan cheese is another good one to use in moderation. A one ounce serving has only 110 calories, but contains 450 milligrams of sodium. Parmesan shavings go best with pasta, pizza, or on a fruit plate. Look for Parmesan that has been aged at least 16 months, and be hesitant using cheese that looks too pale.
Pizza Party
Delivery may be the easy way, but making your own pizza at home is how to enjoy it the healthy way. First think about the crust you want. You can try making your own whole wheat based dough for extra fiber and protein, or experiment with something more adventurous like a cauliflower based pizza.
Try making the veggies on the grill to incorporate a smoky flavor. For extra protein go with the leaner chicken sausage instead of pork sausage, or you can try using tofu instead.
Dessert pizzas make the perfect healthy evening treat. Grilled peaches taste great with caramelized onions and fresh basil. Or try one with ricotta cheese, figs and some arugula. Pizza is the perfect food to share so invite your friends over and make a night of it.
In order to stay on track your diet you're going to need to instill some excitement into it as well. Socializing with your friends, making meals for others, and keeping loved ones aware of your goals are good ways to seek their support. You don't have to condemn yourself to a life without flavor just because you want to eat better. These tips are just the beginning, experiment on your own and try something new and exciting today.

Digital pictures are taken by a digital camera. The digital camera provides picture data with a large dynamic range of, for example, 10 bit. Data processing and display devices operate with 8 bit only, i.e. do not take advantage of the high dynamic range of the camera. This is important in traffic monitoring installations, where, on one hand, the driver in a relatively dark passenger compartment of a vehicle and, on the other hand, the bright license plate have to be recognized to provide evidence in court. For this reason, a dark picture and a bright picture are derived from the picture data provided by the camera. This is done by reading, on one hand, the eight least significant digits and, on the other hand, the eight most significant digits of the camera output to provide the dark and bright pictures, respectively. The dark and bright pictures thus obtained are balanced against color, gray, contrast or brightness values of histograms derived from previous pictures. Then the picture data of the dark and bright pictures are mixed to provide a composed picture, in which the dark and bright pictures arc superimposed. This picture permits recognition of both the driver and the license plate.
1. A device for obtaining of pictures by means of a digital camera over an extended range of brightness values comprising:
(a) image detector means for resolving an image into pixels and for generating for each pixel first digital picture data indicative of the brightness of said image at said pixel, said image detector means having a dynamic range extending over a first number of digits;
(b) a picture data memory;
(c) signal processing means including means for reading from said image detector means a second number of relatively low significance digits as second digital picture data and a third number of relatively high significance digits as third digital picture data, said second and third numbers being smaller than said first number; and
(d) means for storing said second digital picture data as a "dark" picture and said third digital picture data as a "bright" picture in said picture data memory.

The invention relates to a device for detecting and storing digital pictures comprising an image detector for the generation of digital picture data and a picture processing device with a picture data memory.
Furthermore the invention relates to a method of detecting, processing and storing digital pictures with a digital camera.
It is known to take pictures with a digital camera, whereby digital picture data are generated, to process these digital picture data and to store the picture data in a data memory. Such digital cameras usually have a CCD image detector. CCD (charge coupled device) image detectors are well known in the literature, and, for example, described in the books "Laserspektroskopie" by Wolfgang Demtr�der, 3rd Edition, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg New York or Bergmann Schaefer "Lehrbuch der Experinmentalphysik", Festk�rper (solid state bodies), Volume 6, de Gruiter Verlag.
Such CCD image detectors consist of a plurality of CCD sensors assembled in a matrix. Each CCD sensor provides color or gray value information for one picture element (pixel). This information is read as digital number. Good CCD sensors have a dynamic range of 10 bit or more. In principle, at least 210 color or gray values can be represented with such a system. Current picture display systems usually operate with only 8 bit gray values. Therefore, the 256 gray values which can be displayed with such a system are not sufficient to make full use of the complete dynamic range of the CCD sensors.
Such image detecting and picture processing systems are used in traffic monitoring installations operating with a digital camera. Traffic monitoring installations serve to detect violations of traffic regulations, such as speeding or passing a red traffic light, by a vehicle driver. Such traffic monitoring installations would provide an optimal picture for prosecution of the violation, if both the driver in the comparatively dark passenger compartment of the vehicle and the bright license plate could be well recognized. This is not possible with the presently available image detecting systems. Either the dark portions of the pictures are too dark, if the picture of the license plate is optimally visible, or the bright portions of the pictures are too bright, if the driver is optimally visible in the dark passenger compartment. Thus, when a vehicle is photographed with a digital camera, either the driver in the dark passenger compartment cannot be recognized clearly, or the bright license plate is subject to blanketing and cannot be read, depending on the utilized partial brightness range of the whole dynamic range of the CCD image detector. This results often in considerable problems in particular with the subsequent picture processing. The pictures have to be unambiguously identified both with respect to the driver and to the license plate, in order to serve as evidence in court.
It is an object of the invention to provide a device and a method of picture display with which the information obtained by CCD sensors can be taken advantage of to optimal extent.
To this end, a device for detecting and storing digital pictures is provided, comprising an image detector for the generation of digital picture data and a picture processing device with a picture data memory, wherein means are provided for generating, from an image detected by the image detector, both a relatively dark picture and a relatively bright picture.
A method of detecting, processing and storing digital pictures with a digital camera comprises the step of generating at least two digital pictures having different degrees of brightness.
The invention is based on the discovery that, with conventional digital image detecting systems using CCD sensors as, for example, employed in digital cameras of traffic monitoring installations, the dynamic range of the CCD sensors is not taken advantage of to optimal extent. Therefore, the basic concept is to generate at least one relatively dark picture and one relatively bright picture, these pictures utilizing substantially the whole dynamic range of the CCD sensors. By providing at least two pictures having different brightness components, it becomes possible to better recognize the license plate on one picture, the "dark" picture, and the driver on the other picture, the "bright" picture. This is done by reading out the CCD sensors differently.
The dark picture may, for example, be generated by reading out the eight least significant bits of the CCD sensors. These eight least significant bits contain more useful information about the bright components of the picture. The dark picture permits more easy identification of the license plate appearing very bright as compared to the passenger compartment. In the dark picture, however, the driver appears, at best, as a dark shadow only. Therefore, the bright picture is generated using the eight most significant bits of the CCD sensors. These eight more significant bits contain more useful information about the dark components of the picture. Thereby, the bright picture permits recognition of the driver without problems. In this bright picture, the white license plate is seen as a bright area only, which does not permit recognition of the license number. With the two pictures, the dynamic range of a 10 bit CCD sensor is taken advantage of to full extent.
Advantageously, the two digital pictures are combined. To this end, means for mixing the picture containing with the bright components and the picture with the dark components. A single picture is generated, which may look a little artificial, in which, however, both the license plate and the driver can easily be recognized.
Furthermore, picture balancing means may be provided for balancing the images to be detected in accordance with a priori available information, for example when exposures are made at daytime or at night. To this end, a histogram is used giving the statistical distribution of, for example, the gray values of the various picture elements or pixels in a picture. At first, such histogram is generated from a test "dark" picture, in which the license number can be read clearly from the license plate. In such a histogram, a certain high percentage of the gray values is below a certain level. This level serves as a reference. This is a priori information. Then a first picture of a vehicle is taken, with the digital camera in actual use. A histogram is generated from this first picture. The balancing means check, which percentage of the pixel gray values is below the reference level. If the percentage is higher than in the test picture, the picture may be too dark. The diaphragm of the camera is then opened or the exposure time is increased by one step for the next exposure. If the percentage of gray values below the reference level is lower than in the test picture, which means that more gray values are above the reference level, the "dark" picture may be too bright due to daylight illumination of the photographed scene. Therefore, the diaphragm of the camera is closed or the exposure time is reduced by one step for the next exposure. Thus each picture is used to improve the quality of the next picture and to approximate the quality of the test picture. Thus the digital camera adapts itself to the gradual variations of, for example, the daylight illumination.
The least significant bit of the CCD sensor, the field 12 labeled "0", represents the darkest picture component. The most significant bit, the field 12 labeled "9", represents the brightest picture component The intermediate bits of the CCD sensor represent increasingly bright picture components.
The picture data read out of the CCD sensor 10 are filed once as a so-called "dark" picture 16 and once as a "bright" picture in a picture data memory 14 shown in dashed lines. The dark picture is generated by reading out the eight least significant bits of the CCD sensor 10. Accordingly, the bright components of the picture are represented in this dark picture with high precision and are not subject to blanketing. The bright picture 18 is generated by reading out the eight most significant digits of the CCD sensor 10. In this bright picture, the dark components of the picture can be recognized best, as, because of the "overexposure", they are optimally illuminated. Lines 20 represent the reading out of the eight least significant bits. Lines 22 represent the reading out of the eight most significant bits.
The operational sequence of the digital picture processing is controlled by a programmed processor. The connecting lines of the individual blocks in
Both the dark picture 16 and the bright picture 18 are balanced by means of a picture balancing device 24 with a respective histogram 26 for optimization. The histogram contains, as data, information which result from pictures taken previously and optimized correspondingly. This information is introduced into the newly taken digital pictures to be processed. Such information may be, for example, data relating to the light, color or gray situations, or contrasts etc.
The picture balancing serves to selectively optimize only those data of the pictures which are relevant for the subsequent evaluation. In a traffic monitoring installation, these picture data are the data representing the license plate and the passenger compartment. The remaining picture data are of minor importance.
Supplying the picture data of the dark and bright pictures 16 and 18 to the picture balancing device, is illustrated by arrows 28 and 30, respectively. From the picture balancing device 24, the picture data from the dark and bright pictures are, in turn, supplied to a picture mixer 32, as illustrated by arrow 33. The picture mixer composes a single picture 34 from the optimized dark picture 18 and the optimized bright picture 18. This composed picture is stored in a memory 36, as indicated by arrow 38. The composed picture 34 is illustrated as a block in dotted lines in the memory 36.
Mixing of the pictures 16 and 18 is effected by placing the relevant picture components of the dark picture 16, for example the bright license plate and the headlights, at the same position into the bright picture. Thereby, both the passenger compartment with the driver and the license plate can be recognized precisely on one single picture.
The composed bright/dark picture 34 can be outputted from the memory 36 for further processing or for display on a screen. This is illustrated by block 40 representing an output device. Arrow 42 represents the data transfer to the output device.
