POLL: Do you do facials?

Not in a million years. The thought is gross and really undignified.

If a little doesn't make it into mouth and gets on face, 'll live.

Once in a great while a full-on facial is OK, just b/c my partner likes them.

Expect to 'em fairly regularly - totally comfy with the idea.

They're central to our lovemaking and that is typ. how cum(s).

You will be able to change your vote.

I can't speak for Tish, but I do get confused by your wording as well. Better to ask for clarification then get angry, right?

That's all I was doing, asking to see if she was associating nice and polite with effeminate. Glad to know I'm not the only one, I was afraid

I think what's she's telling you is that any man who likes to do something that she doesn't like to do is an insensitive, sexist pig, and any woman who likes to do something that she doesn't like to do has low self-esteem. At least that's what it seems like to me.

Just to repond to a couple things that were posted.

<>

-Discussing an issue and deffending a position isn't normally considered to be a bad thing, especially on a message board where the purpose is to question and discuss issues.

<>

-Yeah, its pretty easy to strike a nerve when you insult people and make inflamatory comments attacking people for being sexist and/or insecure. I wouldn't be in such a hurry to congratulate yourself on that.

<<*someone* feels the incredible urge to write a book going on and on and on with a defense justification. Emphasis on “justification”. >>

-The Oxford English dictionary says: Justify 1 show the justice or rightness of a person, act, etc. 2. Demmonstrate the correctness of an assertion. 3 provide adequate grounds for conduct etc. 4. (esp in passive) (of circumstances) be a good reason or excuse for. 5 just, right.

At first I thought your tone was intended to be insulting, but then I double checked my dictionary and I realized you were complimenting me. SO thank you :)

By calling my post a "book" I take it to mean that you didn't read it. I'm sorry if it was too long for you. If you want I'll send you the Cole's Notes ($20.00, shipping and handling not included, sorry, no CODs). I would send you some ritalin, but I'm not a pharmacist. If you had read my post, you would have realized that it was not all directed at you. Also, it was only a page long. A small page. I think that it is reasonable to write as much as it takes to communicate the ideas you want to share.

<>

-I don't recall saying that. In fact I'm pretty sure that I didn't say anything of the sort. In fact I have never been party to a facial with anyone, and have never had strong fantasies about it. I don't know why you thought that I did.

This brings me to my next point - <>

-THis is almost funny. FIrst of all I would never say "such and such is key" and I don't refer to anyone as "chief". I am definately not from new york. In fact, I don't really see any similarities between david and myself at all. Just because people don't agree with you, doesn't mean that they are the same person. It seems like you are having difficulties conceptualizing the individuality of other people.

The only thing in your post that I agree with is the part about the date. Oh, and the part where you commended my ability to justify my reasoning.

Wow, this amazes me. Based on this survey at the moment, 56% of women do full-on, intentional facials, at least once in a while! As a prior poster said, I would have guessed this would be much rarer than anal ... apparently not!!!

By reading those numbers I see that only 31% enjoy even doing it, 57% participate in them atleast once in awhile(whether they enjoy it or not), and 42% don't do them(trickling out during a BJ is not a facial). Try doing another poll asking women whether or not they like doing them, to get a better idea of what the results of this poll means. I am not surpised at the results. Anal has the potential to cause damage to your anus, and the most that will happen with a facial is your eye will be irritated for awhile if you get some semen in it. I think many women would choose a facial over anal. You also need to remember that women who seek out a sex board and are comfortable discussing sex are going to be more open to things that many may not be. I certianly don't think this poll means much in the grand scheme of things, especially considering only 43 people have voted. Get it up past a thousand, and maybe I will start to take notice ;o)

this poll does not represent women in general. most of my female friends find it disgusting or degrading. and even the men that did this with me said most women aren't into it. i would venture to guess the numbers are much lower.

-people keep saying stuff like this about anal sex. I tried to do a little bit of research on this a while ago when it came up that someone was convinced that they'd end up incontinent. I'm not saying that injuries like that can't ever occur, but when I did a search of medical journals I couldn't find anything to show that it happens. Even in a study examining young sexual assault victims, none that were sodomized had any permanent injuries to the anus. My search doesn't cover stuff before 1980, and I don't have access to a lot of journals before 1990 so it may mean that most of the research on the subject was done previously. My thoughts: the anus is comprised of two rings of muscles. If these are not torn, and that would probably require a lot of force, I just don't think injuries would result. In reasonable consensual sex it doesn't seem likely to me. HOwever, I'm not an expert on this by any means so if anyone can post more information that would be great.
