The act of placing one's hands in one's crotch to cover up an involuntary erection, particularly at work, thus making it worse.

Random,
Love your av - is it Huwey, Dewey or Loius? Mone of my fave films of all time...
There is a mounting body of evidence to say that the phenomenon we call Global Warming is linked inexorably to the Sun, and it's cycles of solar activity. Man-made greenhouse gasses have a slight negative effect but if we stopped all emissions, worldwide, overnight - this would have little impact on the solar cycle and hence the inevitable consequences - which, if those scientists who don't follow the orthodoxy of the scientific 'concensus' are right, will likely be a mini ice-age - or certainly a prolonged cold snap.
The conventional scientific view could be seen as a way of passing the burden on to us, the consumer - after all, we're paying for 90% of the 'greening' of our homes and environments through taxation, and directly via purchasing greener cars, greener houses, light bulbs etc...
Someone on R4 the other day was seriously postulating a personal carbon allowance for everyone - that could be traded/bougt/sold. Nice idea on the surface - but dig a little deeper - they (being the powers that be) would need to monitor every aspect of your life in order for this to work. Every purchase, mile travelled, household expenditure. Without that monitoring it would be unworkable. Is it too far a leap to join the dots with the whole ID card campaign? After all, who can gainsay those who only want to save our planet?
I believe passionately in recycling, alternate fuels, the whole notion of stewarding this beautiful, majestic planet we live on. But, unfortunately, the foundations of our western way of life rely on consumption - and this, inevitably, wrecks our home planet. Look behind many of the motives of those who rattle the drum for climate change and you'll find the age old problems - money and power. I think (though I hope it won't come true) that we may well sleepwalk in to an even more controlled and monitored state than we live in at the moment, and we'll do it willingly - after all, we're saving the planet, right?
Phew, sorry for the rant but it's a subject I feel strongly about...
BTW for anyone who wants an alternate view could have a look at

Well, I post here occasionally. I'm not active - I have an interest. That may change or it may not - but I think I have a right to be here. So do you - just cause you don't 'actively participate' so what? Your opinion, input and whatever you bring to the SH community should be just as valued, IMHO.
Sounds like you've come across some neanderthals who've adopted the 'If I can't shag you, then f**k off' attitude. Just ignore them, they'll disappear when they realize this place isn't an automatic ticket to all the girls/guys they want!
Just my 2p'north

I don't use any foam, soap or gel - just a nekkid razor (well, one of those buzzy 3-blade ones). You can be quite firm and not get knicks! Honest!!
And if he does, you'll just have to kiss 'em better... :twisted:

I have a friend who had a very positive FFM experience in Amsterdam a couple of years ago... the girl they played with was really in to it, and far from it being a 'clinincal' transaction they both felt it was a really warm and positive (not to mention horny) experience.
Just another side of the coin.

Think I might have said this before - Earthchild may recognise
I'm a man without a soul, honey
Who lost it while parading it
In a town full of thieves
Y'see I didn't wanna be
With any people I know
But God knows I didn't wanna be alone
I thought if I acted like someone else
I'd feel more comfortable with myself
So I showered down
Left my little room
Jumped in my car
(for protection from hostility)
Well, it ain't easy to be bold
In an unknown city
I was feeling strong mouthed
But weak willed
When I ran into the cure for my ills
Don't tell me what your name is
I want your body not your mind
I want a feeling worth paying for
Before I say good-bye
But as I was talking
I couldn't look her in the eyes
I just kept wondering
How many men
Unleashed their frustration
Between her thighs
There'll be no sleep 'til the morning
There'll be no lullabies
Coz the Devil's borrowed my clothes
Just for tonight
Well, my adrenaline was curdling like cream
As I was being led by the hand
Through the sound of sirens
And the distant noise of some drunken jazz band
Through the stench of disinfectant
That infected my head
Through the darkness of a corridor
And into a strangers bed
Well, I didn't wanna hurt your feelings honey
But I couldn't suppress my own
I had to pull myself out of this nosedive
By proving something to myself
She was lying on her back
With her lips parted
Squealing like a stuffed pig
I was going through the motions
Faking the emotions
Wriggling around like a lizard in a tin
Trying so hard to cleanse myself
I was turning into somebody else
I was trying so hard to please myself
I was turning into somebody else
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else
Come my love, with your desire
Out of the blue ... and into the fire
The The - Out of the Blue (Into the Fire)
Mmm, very darkly horny song... :twisted:
Ahh the old dilemma. I keep thinking that I'd like short hair again - but then I remember just how long it took to grow, and the year or two of *really* bad hair days (cos I had it shaved at the sides and long on top I looked like a comedy monk for at least 6 months) till it was long enough to tie back again.
So I'd keep it if I were you. It'll be in fashion again soon.. It's what I'm going to do from now on, unless I go bald on top - mind you, would be one hell of a combover though... :scared:

I love this book - and the follow up, The Deeper Meaning of Liff. I had to be helped out of my chair the first time I read it I was laughing so much.
Favourites - Hove; the look that someone has when they realise the person they're talking to won't stop for a very long time
Wetwang - a moist penis
There are some great places in Somerset and Wilts - like Limpley Stoke (the actions of a swinger who'd rather be watching 'Stenders?) and Friggle Street (a meeting place for covert frottagers?)
Any more?

I think we've lost the art of being courteous - for many I think its because they're not sure of how it will be perceived. I know that many men feel uncomfortable holding a door open for a women (maybe because they think they'll be accused of sexism) and feel that doing it for a fellow bloke is somehow not on. It also extends in to the 'me me me' generation who think that gaining an inch at the expense of someone else is worthwhile (especially in driving!) so tend to be petty in all things.
I get the sense that as we get more wrapped up in material lives we become less and less aware of the effects our actions have on those around us - the kids dropping litter just don't see that it willl f**k up the environment - after all its only a burger wrapper, right? This spills over in to all walks of life, and people gripe about how rude others are, how crap their town is, how the country is going to the dogs - and the media feed it with an incessant parade of the extremes on the fringes - so it becomes the norm. It creates a cycle and people feel disempowered - often adopting the 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' position.
I once read somewhere that in order to change the world around you, first change yourself. I totally believe this - but the hardest thing is keeping the change going if every one else seems to be doing the opposite!! Mind you, even doing it yourself can be a great de-stresser - so be polite, be courteous, hold that door open, let that person out in front of you, smile often, have patience, treat others as you would want to be treated - and slowly, we may just make a difference...

PS sorry for the long post - pet peeve of mine...
Hmm - I know how you feel, mine waxes and wanes sometimes - I'm sure there's a cycle to sex drive just like anything else. I'd go with it and see what happens, it can be nice laying off something for a while, makes you discover it anew when you get back in the groove...
Here's to mellow times
:smile2:
and the rediscovery of your mojo...
:rascal:
