matt, that article is a Master's Thesis in anal sex prep!
If I were to mention just one aspect of your preparation (which is my intention), I would solve the entire "poop problem" via a disposable enema, or a reusable cleansing system that gently sends water into your ass and leaves you fresh as a daisy. Use it just before the big (pun intended) event.
Even Walmart carries the devices, but you can also go to an adult store and find various styles. And single-use enemas are at any drug store.
The wedding stuff is for friends and family who want to attend.
I must have a very jaded and disagreeable group of straight friends, because when they are invited to a wedding – especially by a distant relative or semi-casual acquaintance -- they are not very enthusiastic. Sometimes, if the event is to be held in a different state (or country!), they look at it as a form of "gift extortion." I can't say I blame them. :blink:
I had my underwear stolen by a guy who turned out to be one of the worst lays in my life, and when I had to take the NYC subway home from his apartment, in freezing January, I was not a fan.
Another time, a guy asked me – while in the Monster, again in NYC -- if he could have my underwear as part of going back to my place. The sex lasted two minutes -- two unsatisfying minutes, at that. But I gave him the underwear all the same.
So, I'm still waiting for an experience that makes it worth the $15 I'm out for a new pair, lol. And I don't have an attraction for collecting. If you do collect, just be sure to give the guy a good night's fun, I would say.
Unlike a lot of the replies – and there's no right of wrong in it -- my experiences with water sports haven't carried strong overtones of dominance or submission. As well, I tend to like it when it's reciprocal to some degree.
It's something that I don't pre-screen sex partners for their enthusiasm, but if it happens organically -- like while sharing a "take a break" shower -- you can generally count me in. :cool2:
Let's smoke it up! :cheers:
Or, raise your ratio to 0.690 – which is a sexy number, and will possibly keep you from having your downloading privileges suspended. :cool2:
From my perspective, those who have children – even partly as an insurance policy for their own elder care -- is a sad reason, indeed.
I don't have children. I don't want children. I'm a bit too eccentric to provide the constant oversight and sacrifice required. I enjoy the company of some of my friend's kids at parties, especially if they're thoughtful and bright for their age.
And I'm saving enough money for retirement so that I've got a spare bedroom for a private-duty nurse, if ever the need may arise.
So many possibilities, to narrow down to one.
For a variety of reasons, I'll choose a dark horse – The Abandoned (2007), starring Anastasia Hille and Karl Roden. Shot mostly in rural Russia, it is beautifully filmed, intelligent, and quite horrific – a tale of family evil, interlaced with some time-shifting themes that caused a lot of casual viewers to "not get it" and assign low reviews.
I also think this film suffers from a title that's shared by at least two other movies in the past decade, which is confusing and unfortunate.
The IMDB description for The Abandoned is really quite nondescript, but, anyway:
"An adopted woman returns to her home country and the family home that she never knew, and must face the mystery that lies there."
I have watched it possibly 20 times, and pick up nuances and subtle plot lines with each successive viewing. The unique Russian locale, plus some visceral gore and excellent special effects, make this one to recommend.
Should I buy liquor after the difficult month to get rid of stress, or put money on interesting activity (hobby, going to theater…)?
Why buy liquor to relieve stress, when – with a bit of searching -- you can score some meth?
Ah, I was just kidding, really I was. Say no to drugs and all that.
I'm concerned that the phrase "buy liquor" suggests that you'd be purchasing large bottles to consume at home, possibly on your own. So I would rather see you enjoy two or three cocktails (max) in an evening with friends, and spend any other disposable money on something memorable, like a play or concert. :hug:
SIoSI purchase a "onesie" (for hanging around the house) from the great charitable cause, the Warwick Rowers?
The STARZ network has really set some new benchmarks with its series, American Gods. Season 2 is on order for mid-2018.

Did any of you read the source material book by Neil Gaiman? If so, are you happy with the show's adaptation thus far?
Anybody within the sound of my typewriter keys watch Season 1? Who were your favorite characters? Favorite scene? Random thoughts are also welcome.
Have you seen (or wish to revisit) the much talked-about gay, human-god sex scene? Here you go…

Write something, dammit.
On the small screen, I will indulge in a bit of fantasy and name Lieutenant Worf and Wesley Crusher.
From the earliest days I could lay my hands on a Honcho or similar magazine, I'll have to give the nod to Cole Carpenter.
(I know he made lots of porn, and yet, for me, never enough!)
uh, link?
Agreed, link please. I don't know whether the inference is that Lucas models alleged to have caught something via fleshlight, but that would leave me thinking, "How many other body parts/toys/you-name-it did they have contact with during that same period?" :afr:
John, I agree with many of your observations. Most certainly, Lutherans deserve a shout-out for their status as poster child of declining U.S. church attendance. From the start, they suffer one huge, additional hurdle when compared to, say, Catholic churches – no substantial immigration of believers from the faith’s roots (Germany and Scandinavia).
Even as a pre-teen, I would sit in the pews of our family's Missouri Synod church (the conservative Lutherans!) and observe the tiny number of parents with children, and all the seniors, and wonder how long that particular church would survive. As it turned out, they owned enough land, in a desirable section of the city, to ensure their existence for decades – regardless of attendance and operating income, aka offerings and estate gifts. (And let's tax these, while we're at it.) 
With respect, I would tend to disagree with an earlier poster's comment about U.S. organized religion sustaining its numbers going forward because people tend to "find God" as they age, become infirm, etc. This may have held some weight in past generations, but I feel that today's young and middle-aged people moving to non-belief have done so because they've given it long-term, considered thought; have access to a far greater array of relevant discourse in media, both pro and con; experience less societal "stigma"; and in general, are less likely to revert.
If I'm ever on a burning plane as the last engine explodes. I do reserve the right to have whatever religious conversion comes to mind.
I am letting all GT readers know that, at this moment, I certainly DO need a shower.
However, I am waiting for my lawn service to come over to give them hell for the state of my grass, and as you know, the five minutes you rush into a shower, is the same five minutes they will arrive. So, I wait to clean up.
TPBM has some kind of problem with their feet. Share as much horrifying detail as you like, it is a chat board, after all. :crazy2:
I didn't realize they were half-brothers until I looked them up on Wikipedia. They had an interesting upbringing, sometimes in comfort, sometimes in near-poverty, with bohemian (hippie) influences.
I will choose Pablo, even though he has the shorter resume, on the strength of his current performance in American Gods, a show I also adore. As well, I've never seen Liev in Ray Donovan, though I hear he's very good.
Moving away from people, THIS or THAT – gazpacho or clam chowder?
There was no voice in alternative music quite like Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries.
She passed away suddenly today, at age 46, no cause announced as yet. She was reportedly in London for a short recording session.
Feel free to add any reminiscences about her, the group, what memories may stir.

Did you have a favorite Cranberries song? Linger? Zombie? Dreams? So many others. RIP, Dolores.
Novelty song time – the 1960s/70s TV comedy, Bewitched, had a theme song that was very memorable. But most people may not know the song had a vocal version, sung by Steve Lawrence. In video form:
If you search around, you can find an audio-only file that's better quality than this one, which features some very early "romance clips" from the series.
_Bewitched, bewitched
You've got me in your spell
Bewitched, bewitched
You know your craft so well
Before I knew what you were doing
I looked in your eyes
That brand of woo that you've been brewin'
Took me by surprise
You witch, you witch
One thing that's for sure
That stuff you pitch
Just hasn't got a cure
My heart was under lock and key
But somehow it got unhitched
I never thought my heart could be had
But now I'm caught
And I'm kind of glad to be bewitched
Bewitched, witched_
I appreciate that the article cites some original research, and some numbers which can be believed or disbelieved.
My overall sense is that this form of sex – call it bud sex, it's catchy -- has been going on, at about the same rate -- for millenia. There will always be people on that point of the gay scale who will feel most comfortable expressing their homosexual urges in this rather limited fashion.
It seems there aren't too many Chit Chat readers from the Netherlands, but I would add that people you might recognize from the Netherlands include historical figure Anne Frank, actress Famke Janssen, and (former?) model Marcus Schenkenberg, a real hottie.
