Poor men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, 50 alone - nothing to do with men. With men, I actually do fewer - 3-20. But the quality is usually higher with men. It is not just a question of quantity - quality matters greatly too. My masturbation orgasms used to be flatter and my partner sex orgasms used to be more multi-dimensional. But now I have no orgasms at all.

If I ever get orgasms back (do you think I will? now that three factors might be at play - stress, Topamax, and biking - I feel rather hopeless), I will go for the maximum number of orgasms with men. In the past, I used to be slightly embarrassed of the high number I can do and felt that I am a burden. Now, I will feel proud. If I ever get them back.

I like my breasts very much. What I do not like at all is the idea of having the whole reproductive equipment OUTSIDE the body. I would feel insecure with it. For something as critical to the species as that to not be protected.. no, I think this is faulty design . But since it has worked fine so far, it probably gets a passing grade.

You cracked me up - what were you going to say?

And more on the blood smell - when my son was born, for several days he had that same amazing smell and I realized that it must be the smell of my womb. It is the best smell in the world, honest. Very sweet and clean.

But I so much like the convenience of Mirena IUD that I am not inclined to go back to smelling sweet blood monthly. Mirena is just so convenient from all angles that it simply cannot be beat.

I do recall that smell. I have miscarried a few times are due to recognizing that smell, I know what it is not just regular monthly stuff. Smells never leave us. Our since of smell triggers our brain more so then any other sense does.

I totally agree. I think that is why we sometimes cannot articulate what is attractive or off-putting about a person, and the secret is in his smell.

Wow, you miss a day on these boards, and you miss a lot!!! I love being a woman, even though I certainly don't love my period, painful sex and the other aforementioned things in this thread. I love dresses and hair and shoes and shopping! And multiple orgasms!

But being a man would have its benefits, too. Pee standing up (well, women can do that, too, but it's more difficult, takes some practice), being physically stronger than women on average, make more money, don't need to shave your pits, and a few other benefits.

yes, for bearded males, the scale is overall in their favor with respect to shaving: no legs, no pits, no face. Much less times spent on self-care daily, agreed. More time to devote to productive activities (e.g. making more money).

women can get there, too ("no shaving"), it just costs a lot of money and time

Yes but remember why we shave--for men. Think about it, there's no real reason why we need to shave other than to satisfy our partner.

Maybe I have been thoroughly indoctrinated, but I simply enjoy the look and feel of hairless, smooth legs, with a man or alone. I just like it. Sure, I might just be a product of the society.

I could care less if I shave. W/ 3 kids I don't get much time for a good shave. There is always a kid in the tub w/ me or outside the door wanting something. So my legs are way fuzzy. Nothing some nair can't fix.

This is not funny but in a way it is. My H knows he is in for a lucky night when everything is freshly shaven. Then sometimes he screws up and gets angry w/ me and w/ himself. When we go to bed he realizes that everything iss clipped. It's funny/sad to hear him quietly whisper "oh man".

I Love being a female (but as somebody who truly leans to asexual, I couldn't care less about orgasms and all that crap. As much as I love to fantasize... it's too much effort, imho).

But gah, I think being able to pee while standing up would be so great during travels. How I envy men each time I walk into some horror like bathrooms in a gas station on highway. And having period while travelling and exchanging those things on horror bathrooms on gas station where the line by female toilets is longer then meat lines during USSR time? I'd exchange all orgasms in the world for a penis in the moment.

(yes, I know they invented a... thing for women to be able to pee standing up. I don't own it. DOn't send it to me for xmas).

VH,

I hear you, sister, but ALL orgasms? Really?

Girlfriend, you are NOT hanging out in the right, teepees.

In terms of life expectancy, women are the preferred gender, too.

Isn't that individual? Men usually live less healthily in general. Take more risks. But not sure if they all are so depressed about living stastistically shorter.


And seriously, what's with all the male bashing?

I guess... or I am just not indulgent when it comes to some pleasures.

dunno... as I said, too much effort. And I love to travel and being female is a big restriction (see, I will never get to trot around Iran freely. And many other places).

They did? Wow...lol missed that ad, I guess.

Not all it's cracked up to be, promise...we trade that moment of convenience for the utter sheer hell that is a kidney stone if we get one (hurts for everyone, but we've got a little more "piping" leading from the bladder to the the light at the end of the tunnel, and more narrow...debilitating, as I hear). Additionally, there's nothing more embarrassing than when the "after pee shake" doesn't really do the job, and you walk out of the bathroom with that telltale wet spot on your jeans. -_-

That, and men's bathrooms are absolutely heinous...I prefer women's restrooms. I have to clean both at work. Y'all win by a mile there.

There are several products to help women pee standing up...

But you don't actually need a product, just a little adjusting is all...

My orgasms are like nothing these days due to anti depressants. I don't need to masturbate anymore. It's sad and I hope one day it will return. Earlier this year after going on Cymbalta my sex drive started to return, but then I had to take this pill for 2 months and i lost it again. Now it's slowly coming back but I don't know if it will ever return. I am thinking of taking some male libido pills from the pharmacy.

I really need to stop reading this stuff while I eat my lunch.

Another argument for the LOL button!!!

Yeah, I've been thinking a "LOL" button would be quite handy.

I'd happily trade an extra 5 years of life expectancy if I don't have to bleed once a month, have stomach cramps and mood swings. Us men are also pretty much guaranteed an orgasm when we have sex.
