SAVAGE LOVE
I'm a 24-year-old straight female in a relationship. The sex is great, except for one thing: My boyfriend is so fucking quiet while we are having sex. No words, no moans, a stone-cold facial expression. I know he is enjoying himself because he always comes and he initiates sex as often as I do. However, his stoic demeanor makes it hard for me to really get into stuff that isn't directly pleasurable for me. It's hard to be motivated to choke on someone's cock when they look and act like they can't even feel anything.

I've mentioned this to him several times after sex, and he just laughs it off and then says something like "Do you expect me to scream like a girl?" I've told him that that's not at all what I expect. I just want some sign of life! One time, I purposely remained completely silent during an orgasm, like he does, and he became very self-conscious. He didn't believe me when I told him I came, and I asked him how he likes it when I'm quiet. He thought this was funny, and then things went back to normal.

Why is he so quiet? What can I do?

We're Not In The Library

Stop treating this like it's a problem, WNITL, even if you experience it that way, and start treating it like a challenge and a game.

Give him a blowjob, choke on that cock, bring him right to the edge, then pull his cock out of your mouth and say, "Do you like that? Are you close? You want me to keep going?" Then look up at him and slowly stroke his cock—not fast enough to get him off, but not so slowly that you'll have to start that blowjob all over again—and wait for his response. When he says something, his dick goes back in your mouth. When he stops talking, his dick comes back out. Or if he's fucking you and he's getting close, wrap your legs around his ass and pull him in and hold him there so he can't thrust. Then say, "Feel good? Getting close? Wanna finish?" Don't let him budge until he talks; don't let him continue if he stops talking.

Be playfully, sexily confrontational, WNITL, and you'll be able to extract the feedback you want during sex while helping him get over his insecurities about how men are supposed to act during sex.

The Worst Oil Disasters in US History: How You Can Help
COMMENT
"This is Casey Kasem counting down your Top 11 oil disasters.

Coming in at #11 a treat from the Great White North: The Odyssey Oil Spill of 1988 spilling 40 million gallons 700 nautical miles off the cost of Nova Scotia.

At #10 a spicy Italian meatball from 1991 when 45 million gallons were spilled when a tanker exploded and sank off the coast of Italy and continued leaking it's oil into the ocean for years later.

Coming to you at #9 a rumble off the coast of some jungle in Angola, in 1991 more than 51 million gallons. The tanker exploded, and the exact quantity of spill is unknown.

Oui Oui Oui, that's right at #8 the 1978, 69 million gallon classic about a young tanker's rudder that was broken in a severe storm, where despite several ships responding to its distress call, the ship ran aground and broke in two. It's entire payload was dumped into the English Channel off the coast of France.

At #7, another hit from South Africa in 1983, when 79 million gallons were spilled when a tanker caught fire and was abandoned before sinking 25 miles off the coast of Saldanha Bay.

At #6 in the Persian Gulf way back in 1983, 80 million gallons flowed out when a tanker collided with a drilling platform which, eventually, collapsed into the sea. The well continued to spill oil into the ocean for seven months before it was repaired.

At #5 From out Comrades in Mother Russia back in 1994 when 84 million gallons gushed forth from a broken pipeline in Russia, which leaked for eight months before it was noticed and repaired.

At #4 from 1979 those terrible twins Trinidad and Tobago where 90 million
During a tropical storm off the coast , a Greek oil tanker collided with another ship, and lost nearly its entire cargo.

Coming in at #3 making a run for border a hot tamale of a spill from Mexico in 1980. An accident in an oil well caused an explosion which then caused the well to collapse. The well remained open, spilling 30,000 gallons a day into the ocean for a full year for a total of 100 million gallons.

Coming in at #2 a true American tale It took place 100 years ago and was much bigger than the current BP spill [though it still needs to be totally played out.] It is known as the "The Lakeview Gusher" and began in 1910 when an oil line in California failed and exploded releasing a geyser of 90-100,000 barrels of oil a day and lasted for a year. releasing an estimated total of 378 million gallons.

And your #1 oil spill of all time.
Kuwait, during the 1991 Desert Storm Conflict, that Sad man Saddam the Iraqi Despot ordered his forces to open the valves of several oil tankers in order to slow the invasion of American troops. The oil slick was four inches thick and covered 4000 square miles of ocean. for a total of 520 Million Gallon, making it the #1 Oil Spill of all time."

"I love young love.

I was in love when I was 16 - he was 17. We kissed and humped the year away and when summer came, I missed his call (he was going to visit his dad for the summer) and my mom, thinking that I had seen the message, threw it out.

So we ended up breaking up.

Flash forward 3 years and we run into each other again. We decide that since we had never slept together, that it was a perfect time to do so. So we got a motel room, got naked and couldn't stop laughing. Fun but awkward.

Flash forward another 15 years and I run into a friend of his on the bus to work. He takes my number, gives it to my ex and voila! Yet another call and it turns out that we worked across the street from each other for years.

We spent 4 weeks meeting at lunch and having drinks and once again humping and kissing.

The night we were finally going to make love for the very first time - his dad died.

So yeah - we never did the deed.

Its been 11 years since I've seen him. He's married now with a kid. Almost immediately after our "lost moment", I met my current BF who I love dearly (11years and counting!!) but to this day, nobody ever made me tingle they way that guy did."

"BLACK, DARK"
Two More Gulf Spills?
COMMENTS
"I TRAVELED down to the Gulf to work on the spill in the first half of May, and it was amazing to me to see how much oil and gas development there is down there. When you get out of the mouths of the "passes" (channels) and into the actual Gulf, the near-shore (~1 mile out) area is lined with platforms like beads on a necklace. Spills happen all the time down there. I think that most of them (especially those that are leaking more than a sheen) are reported-- if not by the operators, then by one of the MANY people who are out there-- shrimpers, oyster harvesters, sport-fisherpeople, etc. There is a very good response infrastructure down there for these spills, which are much smaller in scope than the BP spill, and they get stopped and cleaned up pretty fast. The biological productivity of the area (lots of brackish water, sunlight, warm temperatures and nutrients) is able to "keep up" with this kind of low-level release-- in fact there is a pretty good ecosystem community (primarily oil-eating bacteria) that has evolved in response to it. The big difference with the BP spill (of course) is its scale and magnitude. Nothing can keep up with millions of gallons of oil hitting a wetland or shoreline to the point that inches or feet of oil collect in one place. A bay that is facing the right (or wrong) direction with respect to winds and currents essentially becomes a "catchers' mitt" and the oil just keeps coming in unless it is intercepted by booms and skimmers, or some other response effort. In my opinion, I think that this is still a very weak part of the response effort, and as lava-lamp blobs of oil will continue to surface and then smear random pieces of habitat (for a long time, and over who knows what kind of geographic extent), BP needs to be pressured to develop this response capability MUCH better.

Just FYI (and as an example), the Delta National Wildlife Refuge, which is about 10 miles down the Mississippi Channel from Venice, LA, had a spill of about 100,000 gallons (approx) of crude oil the week before the Deepwater Horizon blew up. This happened when someone who was dredging a channel hit an old pipeline (between an off-shore platform and an on-shore collection facility) that wasn't marked on the map (a universal problem with pipelines in areas that have been under development for a long time). Response crews started cleaning up before the owner was identified (it turned out to be Chevron).

I am most definitely not saying that this is "alright" or "no big deal", but I guess I am saying that if anything, this spill is shining some light on what is actually involved (in terms of damage but also in terms of response-ability and infrastructure) in oil and gas production on the Gulf of Mexico, and (perhaps) will cause people to more fully evaluate the risks inherent in the benefit we get with domestic oil production. And then when you start looking at Canada (tar sands), Azerbaijan, Niger, Ecuador, etc., etc., you have to realize that as bad as it is here (and it could- and needs to-- be a hell of a lot better), it can be a lot worse. We DO have to do better, and my only "hope" from this whole event is that it will become the trigger for a transformative reevaluation of what we (as a society- both within the US and globally) are going to do for energy for the NEXT 100 or 200 years."

"TRUST AN oil company worth billions of dollars or more to report their smaller spills? While we're at it, let's trust china to clearly label the percentages of lead or cadmium in all exports. Or we can just trust all motorists not to speed. Yeah, thats a good Idea.

Check it out, folks. I did the Army thing for awhile. We knew that if you spilled fuel or oil in the dirt, there was gonna be a major cleanup directed by german authorities(stationed there) that involved everyone digging a Really Big Hole to move all the contaminated dirt. So we faithfully reported every spill and leaking vehicle...YEAH RIGHT! If we could get away with it, we did.

Dont think about the oil companies; for just a second forget the massive finances backing each operation. Think down to the lowest-ranking worker on a rig(or for that matter, on a ground well). Now, each worked has recieved a briefing about reporting spills, how much consitutes a spill. That was possibly a few hours worth of instruction, presented at least partly as a formality.
Balance that against being the guy who actually reports a spill. What does a worked at the bottom of a food chain think will happen to him(or her) if he or she happens to be the one who brings the EPA to the site?
At the very least, it will mean extra work for everyone, plus the threat of attracting the attention and anger of corporate higher ups....
The official rule is, 'report all leaks and spills' (over some small amount)
Unofficially, though? 'If no one else notices, no one else needs to know.'"

A Cheapskate's Advice on Affording Anything You Want
"Most people do not understand that buying new is really financially dumb.

Buying used always saves you a lot of money in the long run. You just have to be smart about what you are buying.

I just got a 1 year old Mac Pro quad core tower for $900 less than new. It's identical to what I can get in the apple store right now, but it sat on a desk mostly unused instead of a cardboard box.

Photo gear, there is a LOT of used lenses out there. I wont buy new lenses ever. I get L series canon glass for 1/2 the price of new. Heck I just picked up a Canon T2i used! That camera has been out for 2 months! Someone bought one and though it was too complex.

I don't know when being financially sound became "cheapskate". It's silly to apply a derogatory term to making smart decisions on money.

Remember: Credit=bad Cash=good. Because with cash you not only pay far less by avoiding finance charges, but you can usually get another 10% knocked off the price by holding the wad of cash and asking for the lower price."

"Q: I heard veggie burgers are made with a toxic chemical. Should I be staying away?

A: Forget the Caramilk mystery. How do meatless food sculptors get soy to look just like corn dogs, pulled pork, ribs, wings, nuggets and stuffed chicken Cordon Bleu? The whole thing fascinates me, sometimes enough to lure me into a bite. But do I ever think they’re good for me? Not a chance.

They’re all made with soy protein isolate (aka textured vegetable protein, aka soy meal) and have little to do with whole soybeans.

These substances derived from defatted soy flour are mostly used in pet foods, but sweetened up with sugar and spices, taste pretty good. Scarier question is, what are these foods processed with?

Soy oil is generally separated from flaked soybeans – leaving defatted meal that’s ground into flour – using a chemical called hexane, one of the volatile organic compounds that constitute natural gas, crude oil and gasoline. It’s an air pollutant and neurotoxin that might sound familiar to you if you’ve read recent stories about hexane poisoning dozens of workers at an iPhone factory in China.

The stuff is great for degreasing and dissolving – it’ll even remove Crazy Glue – and is widely used to extract oils from all kinds of seeds and veggies.

The problem is that not all the hexane evaporates during processing. A small residue is left in food. [...]"
