In 1957, Charlotte was host to visits by two men who personified the concept of dualism. We have heard of the yin and yang. In physics, we see particles with positive and negative charges. In the Zoroastrian religion, there is the all-good, all-wise, Creator Ahura Mazda who is opposed by the essence of evil and chaos, Angra Mainyu or Ahriman.
Where there is light, there is the darkness that proceeds and follows it. Where there is love, hate exists to define just what love is and make it so precious. Where there is peace, there is discord, strife, enmity, conflict. and struggle.
In the struggle for civil rights in this country, we had two men who were poles in opposition: Martin Luther King Jr. and John Kasper. One man a young, Baptist preacher thrust in to the role of leader in the non-violent fight for racial equality for African Americans. The other a Columbia University educated, fanatical, right-wing, vitriolic, and violent anti-segregationist.
One man organized and led non-violent marches, sit-ins, rallies, and boycotts across the country. The other traveled across the south, organizing protests against court desegregation orders, inciting riots, and possibly the bombing of a school and several synagogues.
One man founded the Southern Christian Leadership, whose purpose was to:
"...harness the moral authority and organizing power of black churches to conduct non-violent protests in the service of civil rights reform."
The other man sought recruits for the White Citizens' Council (WCC) , a white supremacist organization whose goal was to fight racial integration and protect "European-American heritage."
John Casper came to Charlotte September 1st, 1957 intending to sign up members for the
White Citizens' Council and speak against the integration of Charlotte public schools. He led a rally on the steps of the Mecklenburg County Courthouse before a crowd of 300 whites. According to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission ( www.cmhpf.org/educationcivilrights.htm) website article about this day, Kasper told the crown to rise up against the school board.
"We want a heart attack, we want nervous breakdowns, we want suicides, we want flight from persecution," Kasper declared.
Another source reports:
He distributed leaflets featuring a photograph of a black man kissing a white woman and urged his white followers to "load your shotguns."
Kasper called for students to strike and picket the schools. He tried and failed to start a Mecklenburg White Citizens' Council. Though there were other anti-segregation groups in Charlotte at the time -- including Kenneth Whitsett's Patriots of North Carolina -- Kasper just did not fit in with the Charlotte way of doing things.
Three days later, 15-year old Dorothy Counts was to enroll at Harry Harding High School. Three other black students were to enroll in other schools across the system. How much worse could the racial climate have been had Kasper succeeded.
We remember the Martin Luther King Jr., a preacher, father, civil rights activist, orator, Nobel Prize laureate, scholar, and man of peace. But such a man may not have come upon the scene at the time he was most needed had there not been his pole, his adversary, his Ahriman: John Kasper.

While the opening rounds of the Class 4A section tournaments featured a number of upsets, order was restored by the time the section championship hardware was raised. In seven of the eight section championship games the team with the higher seed won the game; six of those teams were the top seed in their section. The relative lack of a Cinderella team makes for a star-studded 4A field, and it also made the job of seeding the top five teams very difficult.
Coaches from the eight teams that qualified for the state tournament got together on Saturday morning to discuss the participating teams and to determine which teams should receive the seeds. Per Minnesota State High School League rules, seeds are given to five teams in the tournament; the other three teams draw their quarterfinal opponents at random from the teams seeded 1-3. Seeds four and five play each other in the first round.
Following are the seeds for the state Class 4A basketball tournament along with their quarterfinal matchups on Wednesday at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
#1: Apple Valley (28-1)
While Park Center could've made a case for the #1 seed- they were the one team to defeat Valley during the regular season- the Tyus Jones-led Eagles were certainly a deserving recipient of the tournament's #1 seed. The Eagles, undefeated champions of the South Suburban Conference and the #1 team in the final Minnesota Basketball News poll, blew through the Section 3AAA playoffs by defeating their opponents by a total of 115 points. They defeated seventh-seeded Rosemount in the section finals, a team that threw the section bracket into flux by knocking out #2 seed East Ridge in the first round. Apple Valley's making their sixth trip to state in school history with their last trip coming in 2009.
Valley' reward for the 28-1 season? A quarterfinal showdown against the Brainerd Warriors, the Section 8AAAA champion who also went 28-1 on the season. Like Apple Valley, the Warriors' one loss was a two-point loss; unlike Valley, the Warriors had to face the section's #2 seed in the finals where they defeated Elk River 74-68. Playing an outstate schedule against a lot of 3A opponents hurt the Warriors when it came to assessing the teams on strength of schedule; also, with the rest of the 4A field hailing from the Twin Cities, the Warriors were likely an unknown when compared with the metro-area teams. Brainerd's making their tenth trip to state and their first since 1991; they've got one championship in their trophy case, a title won in 1954.
Apple Valley and Brainerd tip off the Class 4A tournament at 10am Wednesday morning.
#2: Park Center (26-3)
The Park Center Pirates put themselves on the map early in the season, knocking off Apple Valley 72-70 in the Breakdown Tip-Off Classic back on December 8. The Pirates eventually ascended to #1 in the Minnesota Basketball News poll when they knocked off defending champion Osseo ten days after their win over Apple Valley, and they held that #1 spot until Osseo got revenge on them in early February. Park Center ended up winning the Northwest Suburban by a game over Osseo, then defeated the Orioles 73-71 in a thrilling Section 5AAAA title game last Thursday. Led by Quinton Hooker, the Pirates are making their third appearance at state, their first since 1997.
They'll take on Lakeville North in the quarterfinals, the runner-up to Apple Valley in the South Suburban. Lakeville North was the runner-up to Osseo last year, losing the championship game on a buzzer-beating shot by Osseo's Ian Theisen. The Panthers made it through the Section 1AAAA playoffs relatively easy, defeating their first two opponents by a combined 71 points and then beat #2 seed Rochester John Marshall 61-47 in the section title game. Lakeville North is making their third appearance in the state tournament; prior to splitting into North and South, Lakeville High School had state tournament appearances in 1995 and 2004.
This one's the third quarterfinal of the day at the Target Center; scheduled tip is at 2pm.
#3: Edina (22-7)
After an 0-4 start to the season, Graham Woodward and the Edina Hornets kicked things into high gear, winning 22 of their next 25 games and wresting control of the Lake Conference away from Hopkins to boot. The Hornets defeated the Royals twice during the regular season to take the conference crown, then defeated the eight-time champions in the Section 6AAAA finals to earn their first trip to state since 1991. Edina's enjoyed a phenomenal 2012-2013 school year in boys sports- in addition to this trip to the state basketball tournament, they won the state AA hockey championship and Lake Conference crown in football this past fall. This is their seventh trip to state and they've won three titles, the last coming in 1968.
They'll take on the Andover Huskies, the champions of Section 7AAAA. The Huskies were the #4 seed in the section, but they trounced the #1 seed St. Francis by 18 in the section semifinals before getting by third seed Forest Lake 41-37 in the section title game. With a 10-19 record they're the longshot team in the tournament, but they've played top competition all year long as a member of the Northwest Suburban Conference. They're making their fourth trip to state and their first since 2007.
This quarterfinal is the last of the 4A quarterfinals on Wednesday; game time is scheduled for 4pm.
#4: Woodbury (25-4)
The Royals are back at state for the second straight year, looking to add a title to the one they won in 1983. Co-champions of the Suburban East Conference, they've won 17 of their last 18 games, including a victory over conference rival Stillwater 52-44 in the Section 4AAAA title game. Woodbury was the only #2 seed to make it through the section playoffs, a very balanced section that featured three teams in the final Minnesota Basketball News top 10. This is Woodbury's seventh trip to state.
They'll take on the fifth-seeded Eagles of Eden Prairie, winners of Section 2AAAA. Eden Prairie finished in fourth place in the Lake Conference but rolled through the section playoffs, winning each game by a minimum of 15 points. They're currently at 21-8 for the season- 18-3 against non-conference competition- and are making their fourth straight trip to the state tournament and ninth overall.
Woodbury and Eden Prairie have the noon game on Wednesday, the second of the four quarterfinals.

E3 2013 - Alienware's new 18 gaming laptop to turn out to be one of the hottest mobile gaming platforms 2013. Featuring quad-core Haswell i7 processors and running dual NVIDIA 780M GPUs in SLI the Alienware 18 is a beast of a laptop. From the video it appears to be about 2.5-inches thick and I can only estimate that it weights a few pounds.
The unique "Alien Glow" accent lighting around the edge of the chassis is a nice touch as in the back-lit keyboard. One would think that such a monstrous system would rival a furnace in heat production, but Trace says that it appears to manage heat dissipation well as the base nor the surface were overly warm to the touch.

Change to my Paleo challenge...
Saturday, June 15, 2013
No, no, I'm not giving up on it. Au contraire! I'm extending it until the 13th of July.
I know it seems like a random date but it isn't. My Zumba/Bokwa teacher has asked a few of us to do a Zumba/Bokwa demonstration during a street festival on the 13th of July. We've done it before. It usually lasts about 20 minutes and although, at first, you're thinking "Oh no! What have I left myself in for?", once the music starts you just forget about the people watching you and you just have fun!
I want to keep up with my Paleo challenge until then to see if I can bring more changes to my body i.e. lean out and muscle up!
So I've changed the end date of this challenge on my ticker: 27 days to go. I've been going for 2 weeks now and although, there have been and still are some tough moments (making a sandwich for my son's lunch was one of those tough moments: that bread was mighty tempting), I am feeling amazingly well on this diet. The biggest change for me so far is not suffering from painful bloating at the end of more or less every day anymore.
I'm not saying I will stay 100% Paleo for the rest of my life, but this experience is making me question whether or not I will reintroduce quite as many grains as I used to eat before.
There will, however, be two days during which the Paleo diet will pretty much go out of the window. First, on the 28th of June: I'll be having a Girls Night In at mine's as an early birthday celebration and there are new things I want to cook for my friends and a few of those recipes aren't Paleo + there WILL be alcohol!!
Secondly, on the 30th of June: this is my actual birthday. My son and I are going out for a meal and a movie. There WILL be treats and I can guarantee they won't all be Paleo-friendly. Not that I care cos it'll be my birthday!!
But talking about Zumba/Bokwa demonstrations, it is not the first time I've made a fool of myself in the streets. Here I am, Zumba-ing in the street last April:
And, as if that were not enough, here I am Bokwa-ing in the street during the Freedom Festival in September last year:
Just a couple of food pics today -
1) The breakfast of champions! Omelette made with WHOLE eggs (I don't like this "egg white" business - the goodness is in the yolk!), tomatoes and fresh parsley:
2) A beautiful salad taken from River Cottage Veg Every Day: Tahini-dressed salad of courgette and green beans:
I also forgot to let you know that I passed part 2 of my Holistic Nutrition course. I am now getting starting on part 3 and the lessons are Calories, Proteins and Amino Acids and Diet Theories.
Before I sign off, thank you to everyone who left a cheery and encouraging comment on my previous blog. I had a bad beginning to my day but things got better and your kind words helped me there. You guys are the best!
Good night Sparkfriends!

Whole egg is correct. The public is mislead about cholesterol in foods. It's beyond ridiculous with people throwing out the best part of eggs.

That zumba/bokwa sounds like an amazingly fun time! LOVE the pictures of you doing it previously. And I totally agree about the egg thing. I usually use one whole egg with 2 egg whites. Food looks great!

Some of you are going to look at this Snoopy Sno-cone Machine ($25) and your childhood is going to come flooding back to you...sticky summers spent working way too hard to get a few tiny ice shavings you could coat in sugary deliciousness.
The rest of you won't get it, which means you obviously didn't have enough fun and high fructose corn syrup in your youth.
omg, i had one of these as a kid. my mom might still have it in storage. i swear it took forever just to get a little tiny cup of snow!!

Are you celebrating National Running Day? June 4th is the day when "longtime runners reaffirm their love of running and beginners can kick off a lifetime and life-changing commitment," according to the National Running Day website. But what if you are a runner who can't seem to reach their goals? It's possible that you are making one of the most common running mistakes.
What's your running goal?
For many new runners, the goal is simply to get lean and fit. Many seasoned runners set goals to improve their race times or to run a marathon. Regardless of the goal, however, both new and veteran runners benefit from maintaining a healthy weight.
Believe it or not, however, that healthy weight may be illusive. In fact, it's common for many new runners to gain weight or for new marathon runners to put on weight during training. Seems counter intuitive doesn't it? But you'd be surprised how common it is.
Get training tips from ultra marathoner Dean Karnazes
I recently talked to one of the fittest runners around. Ultra marathoner Dean Karnazes and I talked about one of the how to avoid this most common running mistake and how to get more out of your training. Check out the full interview so that your summer is full of productive runs and healthy fun.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Byrd, Donald (Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture)
Trumpeter Donald Byrd's unique sound, a combination of sharp intonation and vibrant tonal clarity, landed him in the center stage of the jazz world when hit Manhattan in 1955. Byrd's tenure as a hard bop sensation was but one phase of a varied musical career that has led him through the uncharted waters of jazz fusion to become a leading figure in jazz education.
Named in part after the black leader of Haiti's independence, Donaldson Toussiant L'Ouverture Byrd II was born in Detroit on December 9, 1932. His father was a Methodist minister and amateur musician. Young Donald Byrd learned trumpet within Detroit's public school music education system, which at the time was well developed and highly regarded, where he played alongside tenor saxophonist and flutist Yusef Lateef and baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams.
At 18, Byrd joined the United States Air Force, and played in a variety of military bands during his three-year stint. Discharged in 1955, he went to New York City and made his first bebop appearances as a member of pianist George Wallington's Quintet.
By December of that year, Byrd had joined drummer Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Evidence of Byrd's disciplined work ethic is that between his Air Force stint and his early years as an emerging bebop trumpeter, Byrd managed to earn a bachelor's degree at Wayne State University, then received his master's from the Manhattan School of Music.
When left the Jazz Messengers in 1956, he became one of New York leading jazz trumpeters, gigging with drummer Max Roach, and tenor saxophonists Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane.
Byrd first recorded for Savoy Records as both a leader and a sideman with drummer Kenny Clarke, bandleader and pianist, Hank Jones, composer and tenor saxophonist, Ernie Wilkins and others. His soulful, clear-toned improvisations were featured on several other labels before he was signed to an exclusive contract with Blue Note Records in 1958.
That year he teamed up with his old Motor City friend Pepper Adams and they co-led a band for four years, recording a succession of hard bop hits. The band also introduced several new players, including pianists Duke Pearson and a 20-year-old Herbie Hancock, who recorded a half-dozen Blue Note albums with Byrd in 1961.
During that same period Donald Byrd earned international acclaim, spending several months playing at festivals throughout Western Europe, where he had the good fortune to study music under the renowned theorist, Nadia Boulanger, who had had a profound influence on American composers, including Aaron Copeland, George Gershwin and Quincy Jones.
Energized by this experience, Byrd soon crossed into a new realm of gospel and blues, with the simple melodic and spiritual tunes performed in the 1963 album, A New Perspective, criticized by jazz mainstreamers, but clearly an expression his ability to fuse jazz expression into other musical idioms. His soulful, powerful entrance on the tune "Cristo Redentor" is considered one of his finest performances.
In the mid-1960s, Byrd became head of Howard University's jazz studies program, and simultaneously taught at Brooklyn College in New York City and served as composer in residence at Rutgers University in New Brunswick. One of the first leading jazz musicians to also teach in universities, he paved the way for jazz studies as a college curriculum and as a means of recognizing the African-American origins of jazz.
In 1969, with other trumpet players like Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis producing their own brands of jazz-fusion, Byrd released Fancy Free, with a more commercial lean toward funk-jazz fusion. Later teaming up with pianist and vocalist, Larry Mizell and his vocalist, trumpeter and clavinet-playing brother Fonce, Byrd released Black Byrd in 1972, performing also on flugelhorn. Much hated by jazz critics, the album combined three idioms; jazz, R&B and funk and became Blue Note Records' number-one seller at the time.
A year later, Byrd, now a professor of ethnomusicology at Howard University, invited four of his students to join the Blackbyrds. The group had several hit albums, including Flying Start with the hit single, Walking in Rhythm that landed on the Billboard Chart at number 6, and number 4 on the R & B chart. Eventually, the Blackbyrds earned three gold records and three Grammy award nominations.
As mainstream jazz performers suffered through lean times in respect to popularity and record sales, Byrd's experiments with electric and funk-influenced jazz paid off. After receiving his PhD. in 1982 from the Columbia Teachers College, Dr. Donaldson Byrd relaxed his performing career to focus on advancing university-level jazz education programs.
In the late 198's he returned to his jazz roots, teaming up with alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett (http://www.jazz.com/encyclopedia/garrett-kenny), tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, and bassist Rufus Reid on a series of Landmark sessions recorded between 1987 and 1991.
In 2000, the United States' National Endowment for the Arts named Byrd a Jazz Master, the nation's highest honor for jazz musicians. In May 2007, as part of the NEA's Jazz in Our Time concert series, he performed at the Kennedy Center as a special guest of keyboardist Ahmad Jamal.
Byrd lives in Teaneck, New Jersey.

College Hockey:World Junior Roster Filled Out
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Hockey today announced the completion of its roster for the upcoming 2005 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship, adding 10 players to the preliminary list released last month. The United States will enter the tournament as defending champion after skating to its first gold medal in the 27-year history of the event in Finland last year.
The U.S. will defend the gold on home soil, with this year's tournament taking place from Dec. 25, 2004, through Jan. 4, 2005, in Grand Forks, N.D., and Thief River Falls, Minn.
Highlighting the list of new additions are seven 2004 National Hockey League draftees, including four drafted in the top two rounds. In total, prospects from 13 of the 30 NHL teams will suit up for the United States.
Among the top names of the 10 that were selected is Boston University forward Chris Bourque. The son of Bruins legend Ray Bourque, Chris has recorded 12 points (3-9-12) in 15 games for BU this season. Bourque was a second-round pick of the Washington Capitals last June. A first-round pick, Robbie Schremp, who plays for London of the OHL and is a native of Fulton, N.Y., also made the cut.
Boston College freshman Cory Schneider was chosen to back up Michigan's Al Montoya in net. Montoya was the goaltender last year when the U.S. won gold. Vancouver's first selection in 2004, Schneider owns a 3-0-3 mark with a .920 save percentage and a 1.92 goals against average on the season so far.
Michigan forward Kevin Porter (Detroit, Mich.), a 2004 Phoenix Coyote draftee, brings the number of Wolverines on the roster to five. Michigan is one of three universities sending multiple players to the tournament, joining Wisconsin and Minnesota, which each have two players on the roster.
The two Minnesota players were added today: defenseman Alex Goligoski and Nate Hagemo. Goligoski was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in June's Entry Draft. Hagemo will be eligible in 2005.
USA Hockey National Team Development Program standout Phil Kessel is the youngest player on the roster. Kessel, a 17-year-old from Madison, Wis., and one of the most highly sought after college recruits that has still not signed, has 15 goals and 27 points in 11 games for the NTDP this year. Moorhead High School defenseman Brian Lee, also a 17-year-old, will make the short trip to Grand Forks after opening the season with eight points (4-4-8) in just two games.
Rounding out the roster additions are Clarkson forward Shawn Weller and St. Cloud State defenseman Casey Borer. Both were third round NHL draftees in 2004 with Borer going to Carolina and Weller to Ottawa.
Among the prominent names overlooked were Wisconsin forward Robbie Earl, a former USNDTP player who leads the Badgers in scoring and had two goals and an assist in two wins last weekend against Minnesota-Duluth, a team coached by Team USA coach Scott Sandelin.
A media conference call with Sandelin and other USA Hockey executives is scheduled for today at 2 p.m. EST (1 p.m. CST). More details will be available then.

Jerking Off Techniques - Male Stories about Jacking Off

Over 40 Years of MasturbatingSoft and Freshly Shaven Balls
I am in my fifties and my wife works a five day straight graveyard shift with two days off, which gives me a lot of experimental jack-off time. I have tried some of the different techniques I have read in here. Like the banana one , cut the ends off, take out the insides and lightly wrap it with packing tape (so in case it splits) then microwave it for 5 seconds. It felt so good I did not even get out of the kitchen, had spunk coming out the end all over the floor. A lot of these techniques have been interesting to say the least but not all are for me. I see a few guys on here like wearing their girlfriend or wife's silk panties or clothes (more power to ya) because I know where your coming from (tho wearing is not for me). I have an oversized silk handkerchief that I have had for a long while and it does give an erotic touch, I have cum in it so many times I can't count and I love it. I tripped on this site a few months ago and have been reading as many of the older stories as I can along with the newer ones to keep caught up. Even the pictures and videos are good. I'm a straight male, but there is something about seeing a penis spurt cum the really turns me on. Especially my own. In one of the back articles (about a month or two ago) I was reading where one guy shaved his ball sack and shaft, I was thinking, REALLY, would this really make a difference? I have heard of this before, but not thought about it for myself. Well I thought it was probably about time to give it a try, and why not if I didn't like it, the hair will grow back. After reading the article I headed for the shower. Striped down and got in, I proceeded to lather up my cock and balls and very carefully I shaved them clean, just my sack and cock down real close to the inside end of the shaft. While shaving I got this raging boner (which made it easier to shave), but with the shaving cream on there and as smooth as my cock felt I had to jack-off right then. So with my left hand on the shower wall and my right hand wrapped around my now rock hard cock it was not long before I had spunk going down the tile wall in the shower.(Good thing I was in the shower), I finished off, cleaned up, got out and dry off to head for bed. Now mind you I have just had a crazy jack-off session in the shower. I lay down on the bed. I was laying there on my back naked with my legs spread open and my freshly shaved balls hanging down between my legs. The feeling of those balls in a soft, freshly shaven sack was exceptionally erotic, just rolling my balls around like two huge marbles between my fingers. I did this for maybe 15 minutes or so when my cock just got rock hard again. The smoothness of my sack alone almost makes me cum. I grab my cock and start giving it these long slow up and down strokes the full length of my now really smooth and hairless staff. Again I shoot spunk all over my hand and stomach. Wow. I even like the way my cock and balls look shaven. The next night off for my wife, she comes to bed and starts to fondle my newly scaped cock and balls. She loves the way it feels especially when she is licking and sucking on them. Needless to say she jacks me to a quaking orgasm and proceeds to massage the love juice into my balls when she is done. Well, not to be out done the night after that my wife now comes to bed with a completely bald pussy. Shaven clean. I must have ate on that pussy and finger banged it for over an hour, (I know she came at least three times). Even the smoothness of my balls rubbing up against that bald pussy was so sensitive, I can get an erection that seems like my cock is going to split. We now do this more then we shag. This guy in the articles I read is a jack-off genius, there will never be hair on my balls and cock or her pussy again. I know a lot of these techniques are not for everyone but the exchange of ideas is what helps us all find new and fun ways of masturbating and reading any of these stories, for me, gets me rock hard. The saying is "different strokes for different folks"… Ain't it the truth… Keep stroking those cocks.

Fantasies while MasturbatingTruth or Dare
Last Sunday, I was over at my friends house. Me and him were alone in his house watching over our dogs. I get extremely bored and decide to play some truth or dare. He says dare so I tell him to legit t-bag one of the dog's toys, he ask pants and underwear off and I say yup! He does and that's when I saw his cock for the first time....I was not pleased, he was really small. Our friends then call us to go back to the house to go sing happy birthday to our friend. A couple of hours pass when I say that we need to go check on the dogs again. We go back to his house and check on the dogs. Once again I get bored and suggest a game of truth or dare we play for about an hour and the we stop for like 5 minutes. I then say 2 more final dares, let's end with a bang! He says ok, I dared him to run around the room naked...HE DOES IT! I then really get a good look at it, its not as small as what I saw a couple hours ago. I now hope that in the near future I will be able to dare him to let me give him a BJ and really have some fun!

Fleshlighta friend showed me his fleshlite
my friend that I used to masturbate with showed me his new fleshlite and said it was the greatest tool. He knows about my love of masturbating, so I asked him if he would get a fleshlite for me because my wife did not like me masturbating. I was worried that if it came in the mail and she found it, I dont think she would understand. so after a week he brought it over. it just so happend that my wife was away for a week. After I read the insturstions, I got naked, warmed it up, and then very slowly I slid it onto my throbing cock. It was amazing. I just couldnt get over the way it felt as I thrust in and out. I stuck it under the matress and an pumped away till was about to cum. I stopped for a while cause I didnt want to cum yet. the urge passed but I was still hard as a rock. then I just thrust in an out real slow I enjoyed so much I didnt want it to end too soon. now the build up is so great that I had to cum. when I did I came an came so much. I did not think it would stop cumming. it left me weak in the knees. I want to thank the person who came up with idea for the fleshlite. its the most wonderful toy. I used my fleshlite twice a day till my wife came home. now I want her to leave for two weeks!!!

Jerking off is AwesomeHorny as hell
Right now I am in the middle of two day masturbation session. I enjoy coming here not only for a change of pace to looking at internet porn, but this site stimulates me and I feel all of you stroking your cocks as I stroke mine. I am at such a peak right now my head is spinning and my body is all a quiver. I have been alone so I am locked up with nothing but a raging hard on lubed with vegetable oil. I totally enjoy my naked body and the way I make my penis feel. My penis shaft, balls, my gloryhole, taint and ass are now competely shaved. My pubic patch is tightly trimmed with my penis standing erect at just passed 6. It is not particularly fat, average all around I guess and my penis sticks straight out. Pre cum is flowing from my tip and let me tell you it tastes awesome, can't get enough I won't waste a drop. I am middle age about 5' 10 165 lb.s very little body hair and in decent shape. I used to think I was straight but the thought of masturbating or being entered or entering another male is all I think about while masturbating lately. Right now I'm hard and hoping if your reading this you are too and wishing I was next to you stroking, or sucking your penis. Again I must confess even though I enjoy pussy the male penis has me hypnotized. I find myself consumed with reading, watching and masturbating to men stroking their cocks other mens cocks along with gay, twink and tranny porn. (I make it a point to try and find body types and penises like mine so I can fantasize the penis on screen as mine). The whole time my penis aching as I try to shove my penis through the screen so my cock and ass can be the one being tugged on or being penetrated. After 3 hours of watching all the above porn my hard on has lead me all over the house trying to find something new to place my erection in. The mirror loves me as I stroke my penis slowly, continually changing angles to see every part of my body switching hands so as not to miss one loving stroke. I bend over the counter spread my cheeks as I rub my taint and anus letting my fingers one by one enter my ass. Again as I close my eyes I can only dream of someone coming up behind me and slowly entering me. Being shaved it feels so smooth and slippery adding to my heightened pleasure. Now I walk back to the computer totally naked in love with my erection I can't take my eyes off of it. It is the most beautiful 6 cock I've ever seen. Once again I go back to watching porn sitting in my leather recliner. I stand up occasionally to lap up my juices off of the recliner and enjoy the smell of my ass sweat. I do not touch my penis just allow what I'm watching to control my erection and flow. I am extremely enjoying two young guys and two asians with penises my size rub on each other. I like as their penises rub against each other in the missionary position with one of them stroking both of their penises together with one hand. My penis is back to full erection watching one male enter the other slowly and adoringly, thrusting into his partner as the bottom has his legs spread wide open letting his partner bury himself in his anus. I can put myself in eithers place. The way the top is stoking his partners penis, caressing it using his partners pre cum as lube to massage his penis has me edging like no ones buisness. I stand up once again totally fixated on my erection and touching every piece of my genetalia. My balls are tight to my body, my heart is beating through my ear drums and my penis is screaming for me to grab it and release the aching in my groin. Once again I walk away, I grab a playtex glove wrap it in a towel folding it over the towel end making a cheap and inexpensive fleshlight. Going to the kitchen closet I grab the vegetable oil put a capfull in the glove and once again retreat to the bathroom setting this homemade vagina or that tight little twinks ass, on the sink and enter it. Now hands free I'm enjoying my penis going in and out and in and out with my penis now shining with the vegetable oil looking like it is soaked with pussy juice which adds to the visual. Watching myself is one of my favorite things to do masturbating, I can't imagine why any human male or female doesn't want my penis right now! My face tells it all, that image in the mirror wants it and wants it bad. I tongue kiss myself as I continue exploring my whole body with my hands and continue thrusting in and out of my handmade orrifice. Just strokes away from cumming yet I stop, calm down and back to the internet for more porn. Why do I do this to myself. Watching two males one straddling the other lowering himself on his partners erection squatting up and down watching his penis drip and slap all over his partners stomach is almost to much to bare. Once again I walk into the kitchen begging for something to jump out and make love to me. I notice the papertowel holder which is made of polised wood has a nice knob on the end. Sticking stuff up my ass such as vegetables, candles, plungers, broom or mop handles, my wifes vibrator are in the moment great penis substitutes. (For those of you who have not inserted anything in your anus you are missing out on a tremendous errogenous zone. The erection and orgasm from massaging your prostate is unsurpassed). I grab more oil lubing both my anus and the knob on the towel holder. Now I grab the full view mirror set it up to watch as I slowly lower myself on what I now envision is another mans erection, yours if I can. My anus is so tight it takes a while for my opening to allow this knob inside. I'm doing the stroking so I control the tempo. Finally I'm past the knob and inch by inch I lower myself down the shaft. I know from experience which angle is best to hit my prostate and my ass is griping the shaft with every up stroke and pushing out with every downstroke taking it all in. I open my eyes and look at my face in the mirror, let me tell you it loves what I am doing. I can't focus. My balls hitting the shaft, the pre cum puddling on the floor and the pain and pleasure in my anus is almost unbearable. My legs are giving out. I'm pounding my ass as hard and as fast as I can my erection flopping freely all over the place. I close my eyes I ask the penis in my ass are you ready to cum the shaft is as hard as ever I fantasize you cumming, I grab my penis stroke it about 20 times and can no longer hold back. I grunt and groan screaming yes as my penis erupts in about 5 pulsating spurts with the rest dribbling out onto the floor. I fall to the floor 100 percent spent, finally enjoying the pleasure of this two day long masturbation session. I remove the shaft and still in my frenzy I close my eyes lean down and allow myself to taste my pleasure juices. I look in the mirror one last time more in love with myself then ever knowing that even though I imagined this being a male penis in my anus and me thrusting my penis in a males anus I most certainly would enjoy an annonymous encounter with someone of the same sex. Happy masturbating men.

Urgent Need to MasturbateGreat Cums
I love to go to the county swimming pool and swim several times a week. After, I love to take a shower with the other guys there but in the far end. The area used to have a seat so someone could shower seated but the chair has been long since removed. I have privacy on three sides. I get nice and warm under the water and clean myself up giving special attention to my dick and balls. Then when really excited I let myself go, get hard and jack off. I don't know if others know what I am doing and the thought they might is exciting. I am told I have a very handsome body and I love to show it off. This helps me have the most wonderful cums.

Start by going to a local shopping centre and perving on the sexiest women you can find.this is just to get your balls full so when you drive home your cock starts to really jump about in your pants and leaks precum also.make sure your cock isnt rock hard when you get home . Just try to keep it semihard. Eg rubbery. Now with your dirty thoughts from shopping centre slowly start to undress until you have nothing but underpants on and now rub your cock through your underpants until theres heaps of precum. By now you should feel dirty and fucking horny , so the real fun starts now. Go to your bed and get those underpants off and spread your legs in the air and flick your underpants around your arse lightly and gently tickle your nuts which should be real tight by now. Now with your semihard cock push it down around your arse and rub knob around your arsehole .if you can get it to go in even better. Now do this until your cock gets so hard that it starts to stand up and gets a real bone in it . You should have a lot of precum around your arse by now so start to tease your cock by fingering your arse using your precum as lube and even getting some more off the eye of your cock which should be dripping with the stuff by now.now pay alot of attention to your nuts cause your cock loves nothing better then you shaking the cum around in your nuts and tickling them. Now your cock needs attention and this is when you think about the sexy thing from the shopping centre with the tights on and tight top. Every guy knows the best way their cock likes to be wanked . So go for it with both hands jerking your cock and tickling your nuts and arse with your other hand do this until you cant hold it anymore . Now gather your dirty thoughts about someone sexy and fucken spread those legs further and touch everything between your legs and watch as your cock starts to buck a few times and then it starts to pump and pump and pump massive thick sperm everywhere over your stomach and chest remembering to keep playing with that arse and nuts until your cock runs out of juice but keeps twitching. So dont stop until your cock stops twitching because you might run out of sperm but your cocks still bucking. By now your nuts should feel like there inside your stomach which means youve just been a very naughty man and loved it too. So wait a few days before you do it again because the fuller your nuts are the more precum youll have. So enjoy.........

Unique or Strange StoryThat Time of Year
I live near a remote part of the Potomac River and this time of year the mud is great for a really special jerk off. I bike down the C and O Canal tow path several miles to a spot I know. Park the bike and hike in a quarter mile or so. Then I get naked and walk along the river shore a bit. I love to have the mud squish between my toes and have the wind and sun on my naked body. At a certain point on the shore the mud is just the right density. I love to lay on the mud and make a hole with my middle finger. Then I stick my hard dick to the opening of the hole. I always make it too small and too short. I take some thin mud from the water or some spit and lub up the hole and then slowly ram my dick in as far as I can. The hole is only, say, one inch deep but my dick is 6 inches. The pressure of the head against the firm but wet and yielding mud is heavenly. Sometimes I will make several small holes like this to get that feeling over and over. There is no hurry. If the mud is just right, its like having sex with the sweetest, wetest, tightest virgin in the world. The mud is warm on my body, the sun is warm and there is always the possibility someone will see my bare butt humping up and down! The cum is very different than with the hand or a divice: feels deep and the pleasure rises slowly and the orgasms are long and shoot every bit of cum juice I have into ole Mother earth. Clean up is messy but, oh, the cum is so great its worth the trouble. Ecstacy!

I gonna call him and go do it now I think. Happy jacking

ExhibitionismMy bike led to so much.
When I was eleven I passed the examination for the local grammar school, and a little later I was bought, as a reward, a bicycle. It was great: I went almost everywhere on it, even on quite long journeys -- I had the young boy's faith that nothing bad would ever happen to him! One day I was quite far from home and got caught in the rain. By the time I got home I was soaking, and my mother said she would have to get me a waterproof. My brother, four years older than me and now a motor-cyclist, said, 'He needs a cape', with the authority of one who had been a cyclist in the past. Two days later I was bought a cycling cape: fawn in colour and lined with smooth rubber. From the beginning I loved it: wearing it was great, and whenever I put it on my cock grew hard. I didn't understand this, but I enjoyed it. When I was alone in the house I would put my cape on and swish it round me, revelling in the feeling and the smell of the rubber, and the sound of the material rustling and slapping -- and the rigidity of my prick. I was expected to look after the bike myself, and one afternoon had it upended in the garage while I mended a puncture. I had the inner tube on the floor while I found and patched the puncture, and looking at the tube, thought,'That's about the size of my prick'. There was an old inner tube on the garage floor, and in a moment I had cut a length of it off and was trying to pull it on my already-stiff penis. Of course, both rubber tube and I were dry, and I had no success, but it was evident that the size was about right. I spent a minute or two spitting into the tube, and tried again. That was better, but more was needed, so I went on spitting and working the tube between my fingers to even out the liquid. That time was more successful, and I managed to pull the rubber tube most of the way onto my prick. Gripping myself through the rubber, I slid the tube off and back on to my prick, and it felt good, so I went on doing it, and it got better each time. My prick became harder and I felt as I never had before, as I went faster and faster, and harder and harder, and my prick demanded more and more of these wonderful sensations. I had to stop when I thought I was going to pee, but I still had hold of my cock in its rubber sheath, and no pee seemed to be coming, so I gently went on stroking. Once, twice, thr ... Suddenly I was thrusting my prick into my hand as fast as I could, and it swelled mightily, and then a series of pulsations took over and my prick spasmed again and again, each time blowing something out into the tube. Seven or eight spasms, and then it was over, and my prick felt wonderful, but too sensitive to go on touching, even though it was the hardest it had ever been. Very slowly, I pulled my prick back, a millimetre at a time, then equally slowly, pushed forward. The sensations were intense: wonderful but terrifying. I repeated the movements, and decided wonderful was winning, though only just. I went on, thrusting and withdrawing, and feeling another spasm whenever I moved less cautiously. I should have gradually got back to my former speed, but my mother called that tea was ready. 'Coming.' I replied, and carefully withdrew from the tube and tucked one end of it into the other to avoid spilling anything, wiped my prick with my handkerchief, did up my fly, and washed my hands before going in to eat. The spunk-filled tube was concealed, but I looked forward intensely to resuming its use as soon as possible. That evening I put the repaired tyre back on my bike and concealed the length of now part-full inner tube in my jacket pocket. It took hours for bed-time to arrive, but then I was able to strip off and get into bed with the length of tube. When I went to pull it on, I made the delightful discovery that it slipped very easily on: the fluid my cock had spurted out was a wonderful lubricant, and with no delay I was gliding in and out, the length of my prick enclosed in the rubber sleeve, fully rigid, and radiating pleasure. It wasn't more than a couple of minutes before I felt more spasms coming, and I speeded up to meet them, and then I was pumping more liquid into the tube, with great delight as I did so. Just as before, my prick became very sensitive, but just as before I was able to very gently start again, and this time there was no interruption. Taking my time(my prick's time really, for it dictated how slowly I must move), I returned to faster thrusts, and after a much longer period of pumping this time, I rejoiced in shooting a third instalment from my prick into the inner tube. This time my prick began to soften, and I gently withdrew it from the rubber tube, once more tucking one end into the other before hiding it under my bed, ready for further use. In fact I used it (or its successors) once or twice a day for the next few years, and although I now need a much larger section tube, I still take great pleasure in the same kind of masturbation -- and today I am able to carry on stroking hard after I have cum.

I was doing Buddhist meditation at a retreat house in rural New England and after a couple of months I was ready for a change. We were supposed to be totally celebate - no jerking off - and I had been true to that and ready to explode. I was working in the kitchen and a fellow who was on the permanent staff asked me = we were NOT supposed to talk but he did anyway - if I would like to walk to the pond about a mile through the woods later that afternoon. I whispered yes. Anything was great.

Memorable Wanking, Jacking Off, and General MasturbationMy best friend and I ...
I'm a married man 35yo and I love to masturbate. My wife loves it too and sometimes we just masturbate each other instead of having sex. When we were still dating she allowed me to penetrate her up the ass, but after that one occasion she never wanted it anymore. Last year I had a very strange thought and very fast I put it off my mind, but it kept coming back to me. I wanted to penetrate our best friend John ( not his real name). He has a very nice ass very firm and bubbly. So one day when both of our wives were out shopping I asked him to watch some porn together so we did. I notice he was hard and I ask him to JO together and he went for it. Then; I told him what I wanted, he got very upset and wanted to leave my house, but he didn't to my surprise he stayed and sat down to finish the porn. I grabbed his penis and stared to stroke his penis and balls. He got very horny; then I put my finger down his hole and as I was masturbating him I was touching and rubbing his hole. At that point he allowed me to take his pants off and I had him half naked on the sofa. Then; I went out on a limp and asked him to roll over and go face down and he did. When I saw his beautiful ass, I was at full so horny that I almost cum just looking at his ass. Then I put a lot of saliva on my dick and in his ass and started to push my way through his virgin ass. I had to stop many times because he felt too much pain but with a little bit more saliva my dick finally when in all the way to my balls. When I was going in and out of him it was heaven his ass is so tight and seems to hug my dick inside and the way he was moaning with each of my thrust was just so much pleasure. I cum inside him and it was such an intense orgasm. My cum kept coming out of my dick like a river that when I got my dick out of his ass my cum just pour out of his ass and the cum rolled down his balls. When he got up I saw he also had cum. We both cum at the same time he was rubbing his dick in my leather sofa while I was penetrating him and he said that it was a very intense orgasm for him too. After we cleanup he made him promise to never talk about what we did ever and to never ask him to do that ever again. He even said not to watch porn together anymore. So I did, but I needed to share my story with somebody and I know there are guys that will not like my story but I think every man have some fantasies and an ass is an ass however you look at it and his ass, man it was good!!!! Now every day I masturbate thinking of that beautiful ass of my good friend John.

Sexual Preference - Undecided
At the Orient Beach on St. Martin, the entire 1.5 miles of the beach is open for naked swimming, walking, etc from before dawn to about 8 am. My tiny hotel was on the beach about midway. I loved to get up before dawn and walk to the beach, get nude, hide my suit and stroll down the beach. I could not help but get a hardon while walking along. I was pretty much alone except for the guys setting up the beach umbrellas and doing other chores in the shops. Such a thrill to walk along hard knowing people can see. If someone would be coming the other way, I just went into a jog and raced passed. Every now and then I would meet another guy coming the other way with a hardon or a partial hardon. Very sexy and very attractive. At the far end of the beach there was a spit of land with brush along the sand. There was a narrow path for about 1/4 mile across this spit of land. When I had had about as much nude hiking as I could stand, I would go to the more private other side and wack off. One time I was wacking away and another guy came out of the brush. I just looked at him and smiled and continued stroking. Now, this was highly exciting and before I knew it, three huge ropes of cum shot out seaward followed by a gush or two of cum that dribbled onto the sand. The sensations of pleasure were intense and I felt like dropping to my knees. I just had to sit down. When I looked up, the guy was hard as stone and stroking his dick just like I was. But he was a bit different. He was Chinese, I think, and knew some techniques I did not but would like to. He stroked his dick and then stopped and after a few seconds he came without touching it. And he came hard. Then he stroked his still hard dick again and after a few seconds he came again, this time even harder. His orgasm lasted twice as long as mine!From the look on his face, his pleasure was extreme and he sat down too. We got to know each other and give each other lessons on how to come with the most wonderful sensations that last the longest possible. Masturbation is great alone and even better with a jerk-buddy.

Fantasies while MasturbatingBeach in San Francisco
I finally managed to visit my Uncle J. who lived in San Francisco. He was the black sheep of the family who had left Back East and gone to California (read: hell). I loved him and since I was assigned to Vandenburg AFB as a new Second Lieutenant, the first chance I had I drove up to see him. He was as ever though getting older and still into his yoga and Tai Chi and veggie meals. We talked about his coin collection and his fake Rollox watches he got in China and Laos, etc. You must visit this beach near the Golden Gate Bridge. It will be an important part of your education - one I know you have not received living near Washington, DC. I agreed and drove down there.

Jerking off is AwesomeWanking Crank is Awesome
A crank that's being wanked and tugged on just is the most awesome feeling a guy can get ! I try to let my ball juices build up for a week until they beg to be released. I get myself ready to give my cock a pleasure session by finding just the right porn to jerk my stiff rod to. I like 'masturbation instruction' porn, where you have to work your meat to the 'instructor' on the porn. One I found goes for 24 minutes, and your cock gets a real workout. The sexy instructor tells you when to start & stop, how fast, and what kind of grip to use. She is really getting off to being a cocktease, and I think she thinks about how many spurting dicks have cum for her when she masturbates herself. I found another video of her masturbating herself, and she gets off in six minutes! I love watching women masturbate, especially when they're playing with themselves as they watch porn...they really get into it when they're watching . I like to see how intently their eyes focus on the action, and I know the action just turns them on so much they just punish their clitties n titties trying to cum over n over again. I spurt gobs of cum when they reach their 'Big O' orgasm. I also like huge dildo action; seeing a giant fake cock go into a swollen, gaping pussy makes me jerk my straining boner till I can't hold off, and I usually spurt five or six times to that. There are certain porn videos that I like to try to get through in sequence without shooting my load. This is the way I like to get off, and it's a real dick vs. porn kind of challenge. I eventually 'lose' every time, but I can masturbate myself for hours before I cum sometimes. Other times I just toss off fast and then I try to see how soon I can get my meat to go stiff and get off again. This is real fistfuck fun for me. I usually lose count at five or six, and I sometimes try to wank all weekend. I've probably gone way past six, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I think Wanking Crank is Awesome and getting off to just the right porn, and trying to see what 'challenges' as far as number of cums and how long you can hold off without cumming is the way I wank the best. Anybody else like to do this? Sure would like to read about it here. So thanks for reading this...I better go beat my bone another time..got juices dribblin out my horny wanker from writing this...Happy masturbating, guys !!

Masturbation TechniqueThe Kauai Kid
When I was in my teens, I lived on Kauai. It was there that I got into real exhibitionist and masturbation. My favorite was to get in the car totally nude (I lived in Poi Pu Kai and could walk around the sugar cane fields nude, run nude, etc. Was great!, drive the 20 miles to Barking Sands Beach, park in the far part by the dunes and then hike along the beach nude. The jerk offs were unbelievable. The first time I did this I had to cum so badly that I jerked off half-way there. My dick was as hard as stone and the pre-cum ran down my dick. Just to touch it brought such a pleasure. I did not want to cum because it might ruin my nude hike but I could not keep my hand off it. I felt the pleasure of that cum in every cell in my body. And I did not loose the erection after I came and could hardly keep from stroking myself a second time. I did hike along the beach a couple of miles - totally alone and that was OK. I went to the top of a dune and shot my wads to the mighty Pacific Ocean in three long ropes and a couple of gushes. Don't know where all that cum juice came from. The sensations in my gut told me the first monster cum really did not count. The body can give such great pleasure when I know how to treat it right!

Memorable Wanking, Jacking Off, and General MasturbationNude Yoga
I went to the naturist hotel in Bonaire and really had a great time swimming and walking around nude. I love to be watched and to look at others nude. The human body can be so beautiful and, in my case, leads to great jerk-offs, really great cums.

First Time MasturbatingLate bloomer
Around age 14 I discovered that playing with my dick would make it hard. I thought this was masturbation. Around 15 I remembered a joke from my younger days that looked like rubbing my dick up and down. I'd been having wet dreams every Sunday night and waking up on Monday with a crusty substance in my shorts. Once I started rubbing my dick up and down I had my first orgasm and ejaculation. It was fantastic! After that I couldn't get enough. The only privacy I could get was in the bathroom or after I went to bed at night. I was in the bathroom so often my parents started to worry that I had bowel problems. I had to assure them that I didn't have any problems but had the urge to go every time after I ate. As a teenager you eat all of the time. In the bed at night I still had to be secretive. I would jack off but hold my dick so tight that nothing came out. Sometimes when I was outside alone I would rub myself through my clothes. I could cum this way but it made a mess in my shorts. I continued to masturbate frequently through my 20's and 30's. I could do it so much that my goal was to shoot a load 10 times in 1 day. I never reached that goal. The best I ever did was 8 times. I could still cum multiple times a day into my 40's. I'm now in my 50's and it doesn't come so easy. Some times I can do it every day. Some times I can't do it for several days. From the age 19 onward I've been able to have regular sex with a woman. It didn't matter. Within an hour after having sex I wanted to jerk off. So far I've never met a woman that can give a good handjob. My right hand is better than any pussy I've ever had.

Anonymous Masturbator ConfessionsServing the whole family
I have masturbated for many years and have done most of the things written on these pages, however, I want to relay a story I accomplished last week. I have eaten my own cum as well as spurted in dips and sauces and eaten those items and I was looking for another outlet of foodstuffs to spurt my cum into. Well, my wife asked me to start mixing and baking a cake one day before she got home from work. I said OK and went on to begin the process. I am always naked when home alone or with my wife and today was no exception. As I started the mixing process, my thoughts aimed toward my mid section and I began to get semi erect. It was not long before I was sporting a full on boner and was trying to think of a way to relieve myself. All of a sudden, my thoughts veered to cumming into the cake mix. Why not, I thought! As I stroked myself with reckless abandon, it did not take long for that special feeling to rise up in my balls. As I was rubbing and jacked I aimed my cock at the mixing bowl and let out a long steam of precious cum. I let go with such a load I thought I would have too much, but when I finished off my jacking and mixed the cum into the cake batter, it was a perfect amount. It mixed in as well as I would have hoped. I finished mixing and put the cake in the oven at the prescribed temp and left to clean myself off. I was still hard just thinking about what I had just done and had to jack myself again. It was only about 30 minutes before my wife got home and the cake was finished shortly after. When she removed the cake from the oven, she commented on the pleasant aroma rising thorough the kitchen. The cake was set off to cool and then iced with vanilla frosting. (It looked just like what went inside the cake.) After dinner with my wife and two children, we sat down for dessert and I cut the cake for each of us. As I served the cake, my cock was beginning to swell as I was thinking of the ingredients. I watched as each person took their first taste of the dessert. The reaction was one of beauty, they all said how great tasting it was and complimented me on a good job. I was with a raging boner now and tried to conceal it, however, I had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom to release the awesome tension between my legs. When I spurted into the toilet, I was overcome with joy and ecstasy as the whole family had just eaten my cum. I am attempting to do this again with a homemade chip dip. I will be serving it soon and I will let you know how it tastes and works out.

Masturbation Technique Variationsquash away
I have masturbated for the majority of my 53 years and using veggies has been a part of my routine for many years. I have used bannana peels, cukes in my anus, and squash. I want to give a tip I have not seen her. I like using spaghetti squash because they are easy to cut and empy out. Although, sometimes I do not empty the seeds and other insides and create a whole new feeling. Well the tip is after you cut the stem end of the squash off and empty what you want from the insides, take a skewer or some other long, thin shaft to poke a hole thru the non cut end. As you insert yor penis into the cut end(make sure the hole is not too big), use one hand to move the squash and the other hand to put a finger over the small hole in the end. As you stroke the squash off your cock, keep the finger over the small hole. As you pull the squash back onto your cock, take your finger off the hole. This feels like someone is giving you a blowjob and you can last a long time as the squash gives pleasure with no time constaints. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Happy masturbation.

Jerking off is AwesomeThrough the Floor
I was on retreat at a Buddhist meditation center way, way out in the woods of North Carolina. We slept in small cabins one person to a room. I was on the second floor and after a long mindful day I was ready to sleep. As I lay in bed I heard a moaning coming from the room below. I quickly new the sounds: the guy was jerking off and getting considerable pleasure from it. Before I knew it, I was hard and very eager to cum. I got naked and started stroking myself. Then I matched my pleasure moanings with his. This was a real turn-on. Then it got quiet downstairs. I was just about at the peak of my pleasure and ready to shoot my wads onto the sheet when I heard a small knock on the door. My heart went into my throat and I ran to the door stark naked and hard as stone. I opened the door to find my first floor neighbor standing there stark naked with a huge hardon. Well, come on in and stay a spell, I said. We have some business to finsh up here. We jumped into bed and began sucking each other like we were the best of friends. (I did not even know his name.) I came first and shot everything I had into his mouth in a dozen heavenly pleasurable contractions. He swollowed the lot and sucked every bit of cum he could out of my cock. I teased him by bringing him time after time right to the edge of cuming. I loved to taste the pre-cum and to feel his cock twitch and swell as he almost came. Then with huge contractions I could feel the mussels in his cock convulse over and over shooting that sweet, creamy cum down my throat. He tasted so good I could hardly stand it. And he moaned like he could hardly stand the pleasure.

Over 40 Years of MasturbatingAttic Jacking to Jackaddict A Masturbation History
My masturbation history really started when I was pretty young; you can guess how young I was when U read along. I luuvd 2 go to a brushy area near our town's football field with porn mags I'd found and jack off over the soft porn (all we had in those days). I jerked my little hairless wanker as many times as I could, I probably had as many as five or six in a session, almost one right after another. I would start out with just my pants down around my ankles, and eventually one article of clothing after another would come off, and eventually I'd be totally naked and wanking off. This spot near the football field was my 'danger' spot for my 'secret' fun with myself.

Once I was about to ejaculate I felt this sweeeet sensation! And all this white,worm and gooey stuff came out. I felt relieved. So now I start masturbating every other day in the shower,toilet and or public bathroom with my lotion in my pocket.

Masturbation TechniqueRolling to Ecstacy
I am working out with a machine which develops the legs and there are two large rollers attached to weights. The gym is male only and the machine is in a sort of remote spot and nobody is there. I got an idea: I pulled down my pants and just at the idea my cock gets hard. I lower the upper roller as far as it will go and put my hard, wet cock between the soft roller and my stomach. The feelings were great. Each upward thrust was tight and slippery! I could hardly stand the pleasure. I did not cum, though I desperately wanted to, but worked out on other machines returning time and time again to this most wonderful machine. That last time, I just let it go to the point of no return. I stopped, waited in intense sensations then that stabbing pleasure deep within my body and that wonderful pleasure juice shot up on my chest in three large ropes.

I was getting ready to go out on a family meal and I had just taken a shower and was going to get dressed, I always put my jewellery on first and I was still in the nude and I dropped my curb necklace, which was cold and it fell onto my balls and cock, but it made my cock twitch, dont ask me why but the next minute I was laid on my back, I held the necklace in the middle and I tickled my balls and arsehole with the cold necklace, I was shaking it back and forth across my balls and arsehole, which sent me over the edge and I was spraying cum everywhere, all this without touching my shaft, I quickly cleaned up and headed for dinner with a smile on my face. I also like the rubbing between your balls and arse technic, happy masturbating

Over 40 Years of MasturbatingGreat Cums
I love to stay at a Cloths Optional Resort. I can walk around nude and really get turned on, come back to the cabin and jack off. Early in the morning and late at night I can walk around with a hardon - which is a great turn on. There is something really exotic/erotic being around many naked men and women. I love to be seen and find that leads to enormous cums. The cum juice gushes out then squirts over my chest. I find the more fit I am, the most rested and the less stressed the better my cum sensations and the more juice I shoot, gush, drool or whatever. It all feels great!

|Islamophobia Watch alerts us to a report that the Scottish Defence League has been successful in its appeal against Edinburgh council's ban on its planned march in the capital.
From STV:
"The Scottish Defence League has won an appeal to hold a rally in the capital.
"The group previously had a request to march through Edinburgh rejected by the City of Edinburgh Council.
"At Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday it was granted permission to gather on Regent Road on Saturday.
"Anti-fascism group Unite Against Fascism Edinburgh have said the city's residents will be "rightly outraged" by the decision.
"Luke Henderson from the group said: "This is not about freedom of speech; this is about vile racists bringing a message of hate into Edinburgh. They want to divide communities and spread fear and violence. Edinburgh is one city of many cultures and in this town there is overwhelming opposition to racism and organised racists and fascists."
The SDL have previously demonstrated in Edinburgh as well as in Glasgow, where they have been heavily outnumbered by anti-racist protesters.
