If people seriously think they can use a ziploc bag for a condom, they are retarded. They should not be allowed to breed.

I love the irony of your statement. Wouldn't you then agree that if they think they can use a ziploc bag as a condom that they very desperately DO need the advice she can provide?

I have never seen or heard her show, so really don't know the content, but there definitely are people who need straightforward, honest sexual advice, and if an older woman seems like the safe, knowledgeable source they are comfortable asking, especially when they can call in anonymously (I presume), then that seems like a good thing for them to have. Many people grow up in homes where discussing sex is a taboo subject, or are generally kept very sheltered.

Just talking about sex with your friends doesn't mean you're getting or sharing accurate information either. I've had conversations with older people with children who were still somewhat naive on details of sexual function. Obviously, they knew enough to get all the parts to work together correctly to have the kids, but it was amazing how much they didn't know as well. For that matter, peruse some of the questions we've gotten in the biology forum over the years, and you'll see how sheltered some people have been and how much misinformation has been spread to them.

Stop being so childish Moonbear. Can't you see that Cyrus knows everything about everything? Why are you being so juvenile? He's in his 20's for God's sake. A Mature Adult™

By the way Cyrus, I have yet to hear why you think what I am saying is childish, like I pointed out in another thread. You keep calling me childish but never explain yourself. And you keep asking why I bug you? Because you're a tool. I call you out whenever you say something that is BS and you can't handle it. And no, I'm not picking on you. I call out anybody who I perceive as talking BS. You just seem to do a LOT of it.

That doesn't make sense. If you think someone's a "tool" then you wouldn't respond to everything he says trying to prove him wrong. Also, I don't agree that people who talk about sex are pigs, regardless of whether they're in their 20's or not.

I have to say I watched the show once while I was over in the US. I found it rather cringe-worthy; not because of what they were talking about, but because of who was doing the talking. I'm not saying that the older generation shouldn't be able to talk about sex, but when you've got a 78 year old woman advising a lesbian woman to perform some sex act on her partner, and to then describe exactly what to do, it's slightly disturbing!

Poop-Loops, my dad used to do a lot of couples' therapy. Would you and Cyrus be interested in your own thread wherein he could guide you through finally sorting out your problems? It's a shame that you should be fighting like this, what with Valentine's Day coming up and all.

If you're having problems communicating, sometimes a show of affection can speak clearer than words. You need to show the other person that the magic isn't gone; you could surprise Cyrus with an unexpected romantic dinner by candlelight, maybe even a love poem.

You too? LOOK, we are in our 20's. It's normal to US. The people who decide to run those shows are NOT. Do you think teenagers are troublemakers? Probably not. A lot of older folk do.

Which is exactly why it's still running. She's edgy and it attracts audiences. Do you honestly think if it was a man our age running the show, it would keep going? No.

No dice. He said he'd tuck his penis between his legs. He lied. He owes me dinner.

It does work if they are both inside their own ziplock bags and they are zip-locked!

There are plenty of sex-oriented TV shows featuring younger guys, girls, or both... there's this show called "sex secrets" of which the narrator is a young woman. Then there's this one that's a bunch of men and women in their 20's talking about sex (explicitly, and nobody has complained yet about the show being vulgar or whatever), I think it's called sex and chocolate or something... what about the Ed The Sock show. All he makes is T&A jokes and he's been on the air for years.

Friday and saturday late nights there's a show either about sex or featuring explicit sex on like every other channel on my basic cable provider.

I talk explicitly about sex with girl friends and so do they and nobody accuses anybody of being a pig. I think our society is more open about sex than you'd like to think. Where do you live? Maybe where you live it's not.

20 year old guys talking about sex are not perceived as pigs, they're perceived as normal. Now, this is of course context dependent. If you're talking about the latest "conquest" and acting disrespectful of women, yeah, you're going to be seen as a pig, but if you're talking about sex more generally, nope, not a pig.

Why? Because there's no dress code?

Okay, both Poop-Loops and Cyrus, this "love fest" of yours has gone on long enough. This is the official cease and desist, get a room, take it to PM if you must, order. If you can't remain civil to one another, simply ignore each other.

How do I ignore a member moonbear?

This isn't a 'love fest', and I am not laughing. I am seriously fed up with him. How can I ignore his posts? There used to be a button to ignore members...but it has disappeared. I just don't have the patience to put up with this anymore.
