I've been dealing with disappointment all my life.
Plim :sad:
I once enrolled on a course on "How to deal with disappointment".
When I turned up the course had been cancelled!

in my experience, just about everybody, when approaching a new language (or when they're meeting somebody who is from another country)tends to ask within the first minutes, a couple of swearwords
thing is, they translate badly, and more often than not, are used in a totally different context and with different meaning.
That is so true! The first words I learnt in English were swear words - I had a good teacher a lovely Scottish guy who said as long as I sprinkle the word 'fuck' in my sentences I'll be alright...
Of course swearing in English is not as delicious as swearing in my own language. It just doesn't have the same kick.
One should always swear in their mother tongue

Interesting one that.. a line towards the end is "I have never enjoyed life so much"
I think, that aria without its operatic context is not clear.
That line actually says "non ho amato mai tanto la vita!" or I have not loved life so much.
Here Placido Domingo plays Caravadossi an artist/painter waiting for his execution. He is going to be executed by order of the town's Chief of Police for having helped a political refugee. To complicate things the Chief of Police covets Caravadossi's fiance the beautiful Tosca and this is his chance to have her by getting rid of Caravadossi.
The aria that Placido Domingo sings is Caravadossi's farewell to Tosca, telling her how wonderful life was with her but now how desperate that he is about to die, etc.
The whole thing ends tragically with lots people dying (melo)dramatically - as good Italian operas usually do!
It would all depend on my mood at the time. If I'm happy or content I'd love to go listening to J.S. Bach -- Double concerto for two violins in D minor
The passion and energy of that piece is just absolute magic. Bliss!
However if I were broken hearted it would have to be Puccini's 'E lucevan le stelle' from Tosca.
Here's dear old Placido singing it...

I propose a new set of scents - those from our childhoods.
Your question reminded me of that fabulous book Perfume by Patrick Suskind where his descriptions of smells and the vivid language were so evocative - great book.
Anyway, as for what smells I would love... it's not something old but I love the smell of wet earth and the smell of dew and flowers early in the mornings.
I also love the smell of bakeries, fresh bread mmm
Having seen a well known couple from here say their goodbyes just now and a few others before made me wonder…
Is swinging best enjoyed without familiarity or being friends enhances the experience?
As some eagled eyed amongst you may have noticed I do live by my screen name – I like to go AWOL from time to time which has the unfortunate side effect of me not becoming too familiar with people in these circles.
It’s not that I’m an antisocial (an antisocial swinger? what an oxymoron!) but simply because deep down and despite swinging I’m a bit shy and it takes me a little while to warm up to someone new to make friends, but once I do I can make the best of friends (then they start to wonder what possessed them to hook up with me)
However if something wrong happens and I lose that friendship it affects me. I hate losing friends and for some odd reason I think sex and friendship don’t always go together.
It’s like the “When Harry Met Sally†syndrome - can two friends sleep together and still love each other in the morning?
Does the term ‘familiarity breeds contempt’ relevant in the swinging scene?

I can't really dress this up any other way, so my question to you dear forumites is:
What do you think of cocks?
I don't know about other men's cocks but I love mine, it has given me much pleasure for most of my life. And I'm not talking about sexual pleasure only. Anyone who has had the misfortune of desperately wanting a pee and waiting for hours to have one will know how good it feels to relieve oneself after a long wait - it feels goooood
The one thing that annoys me though is that my cock seems to have a mind of its own - always desperately looking to hide inside a vagina - well OK vaginas can be rather accomodating so I can't blame my cock for that. But the feeling is constant! Sometimes the bloody thing can get really argumentative, it just won't shut up and demand vagina, vagina, I want a vagina! Being a man is a constant struggle between listening to your cock and listening to your brain.
The brain always loses - I wonder why!?
As for looks - if I told you a woman once told me my cock is beautiful and should be used as a model to cast dildos you won't believe me - so I won't tell you. Or maybe she said she wished my cock was as big and as beautiful as a dildo? I can't quite remember - I wasn't thinking with my brain at the time.
Ah well...
Guys, guys... I think the problem is how you measure your cock and what system you use. Unlike you my dear Brits us johnny foreigners have had it good for ages as we use the metric system.
It's simple really... If some horny lady asks how big you are, tell her your cock size in metric, for example a measly 6 inch cock becomes a 15-centimitre power rod! Whoa we're talking double digits here. Remember most women don't know the difference between inches and centimetres anyway!
As I said the rest of the world have had it really good with metric measures for ages! Forget about imperial measurements, they're crap.

watching channel 4 and icannot beleive women do this for a man omg needless surgery and anethestics for a man omg that is nooooooooooooooo
I don't know if you were watching the same programme I was watching but the women there didn't have implants just to keep their men. It was a lot more complicated than that.
The American and the oriental ladies were in the porn industry and 'used' their implants as an asset. Yes, the oriental lady was unhappy with it and wanted, in the future, to have them reduced but it was obvious her partner was the driving force behind the huge implants but she did say that she wouldn't give up what she's got now because she earns good money.
What I found very sad was the Brazilian girl who had serious emotional issues and I'd say some sort of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. What she needed was counselling not more huge implants. How awful and totally unethical of those doctors to proceed with surgery when she was clearly not emotionally stable. Poor girl.
I agree with the general consensus that in certain circumstances implants are necessary for medical reasons or serious emotional issues for example. It would be extremely sad and tragic if women had breasts implants just to please a man. I surely hope that doesn’t really happen.

or look at another scenario
Bus driver tells child,your not coming on my bus.
Child has to walk home.
10pm and child still hasn't arrived home.
Two days later body of child found in bushs 1 mile from home.
Child had been and then strangled.
if this driver has any ounce of consience...letting that child on the bus...would have been the sensible thing to do regardless of his insurance!
Something like this actually happened a good few years ago when kids had to pay for bus fares. I can't remember the exact details but a girl in South London was ordered off the bus on her way home as she was short of (I think) 10p. As she was walking home she was assaulted.
Everybody was, understandably, outraged at the bus driver. Can't remember if anything was done about that.
Weird things do happen.

The first thing you got to learn before tying someone up is how to free them instantly in an emergency. Then you need to learn about the safe areas and the unsafe ones. Understand how the body works in terms of blood circulation, breathing, joint flexibility...
As for the 'what to do next' ideas will pop into your head once you feel secure in what you are doing. Maybe you'll want to blindfold her and play a guessing game by touching her body with different stuff. Maybe you'll go for the hot and cold treatment. Loads to do, but as with everything else, a bit of preparation can do wonders.
One thing you should never, ever do is leave a tied person alone in the house. So any dreams of tying her up and popping to the pub for a pint or two are strictly forbidden, OK?
Ah... so tying her neck was not a good thing?
Thanks for the advice Tania
Very interesting thread.
If I could add a question please. I have an occasional partner and she also introduced the idea of S&M - she likes being submissive and me being the dom. I have no problems in administering 'pain' but I do still feel at the back of my mind 'be careful don't want to hurt her too much' - we do have the safe word etc. Something stops me hurting her too much and she always ends up saying I didn't go far enough with the pain afterwards. Aha so next time I'll hit harder
Also she likes being tied up which we tried - great fun. My problem is sometimes I run out of ideas of what to do next, especially when tying her up, I have looked at websites and found the Japanese Nawa Shibari bondage very interesting but where do you learn to do that?
Or am I trying to run before I can walk? Any teachers here?
I'm sure she'll get fed up one day and say - bugger off you're a crap dom
