I'll take a shot at this.
Q. Do most of you see the "like" button? (Pretty sure it's for paying members only) how do you use the "like" sparingly or generously? (I try & use it very generously w/pictures & only what I really agree with when it comes to opinions)
A. Actually, non-VIP can like a post. You just have to be logged in. I know it's there and I do use it when I think of it. Trouble is, I frequently don't log in, particularly when I'm not VIP, so then I don't see the button and don't think to use it.
Q. Do men realize that some of us read your review history to get a feel for how you write/think/talk?
A. I hope so.
Q. Do most of the men truly think part of the reference check is sharing juicy details between us gals?
(For the most part it's not at all that way, it's yes or no I saw him,I feel he's safe,I would/wouldn't see him again- exceptions to every rule,eg:very good friends may elaborate more)
A. I guess that's a difference between men and women. I for sure would spend time on the juicy details if I were giving a reference. Or maybe it's just the difference between vendor and vendee?
Q. How does everyone feel about sweat? Sure we all do it, but do some of you really believe there's no fun if there's no sweat? Do some of you get really turned off by it? I personally don't wanna "body slide" w/sweat nuru or some lube fine.
A. Interesting question. Sweat is certainly not necessary, but if the woman works up a sweat it really signals, to me at least, that she is into the moment, having fun, and working to please me. Also there's an ego aspect. I'm old enough that my stamina isn't what it once was, so when the woman I'm with is sweaty before I'm exhausted it makes me feel macho and manly and good about my conditioning routine.
Q. Do you believe in specific ways to tell if a women has an orgasm?
(guys I've had plenty alone & w/company, when my nipples were not fully erect...so I think that's a myth -not sure about dilated pupils yet- I have a few tell tail signs I believe in)
A. Sure. The way I know is if she says to me "I'm coming." And I really like it if she does. She could be lying, of course, but I'm willing to take her word. Otherwise, individual reactions are so completely idiosyncratic that I am never sure unless it is someone I've been with often enough to learn her "tells."
Q. Guys how many of you have ever faked an orgasm? Was it ever in the hobby, or more often in civvie life?
A. Yes, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, before I got in the hobby. Paying my money relieves me of any obligation to fake anything.
Q. How many men know (or have heard) that if you hold back from cumming too often it can become extremely difficult to get there & the effects are cumulative -meaning after years of this, the act of ejaculation may not ever happen
Hint:visit gals that allow for more than one pop- my motto as many as u can in our shared time.
A. Holding back is not my issue. Getting there is. Age, ya know.
Q. How many know about edging & understand that sometimes orgasm doesn't have to be the end goal....
It's great,best to make ur desire for it clear.
A. Getting there is my problem, so being prevented has no appeal
Q. Does anyone actually think the FC is somehow less safe (personally I feel it's safer) how many of you tried it?
Like it or not? (hint: lube, lube, lube!!) also I think it might feel more "natural" but I've never
had a penis so what do I know...LOL
A. I also think FCs are safer, and they feel just fine to me, but they do have a couple issues. The first is having to stop and wait for the installation before we can move forward. I always want DATY which just doesn't work that well with an FC in place. If we don't think about protection until I am hard and raring to go, well, with a regular condom at least I'm getting a handjob while she puts it on. Some women don't like to be watched putting in an FC so that leaves me looking at the ceiling and jacking off until she is finished. The second is, as you say, lube, lube, lube. A break for more lube every few minutes makes everything feel much better, but it can be distracting and hard on the mood.
Q. I love the idea of jumping in the shower w/some of you & if my day allows I SO would, however I have a very specific hair routine it's easy (believe it or not) & lasts for a full 2 days....so if it's a fresh hair day (or I hafta be somewhere)
I'm not likely to wet it down... Is this a huge turn off? Being an Xhairstylist 4me it's a small price to pay to only spend 15mi. On it every other day & never have to use product...but hey we all have our opinions, would love 2 hear yours....
A. Nah, I'd rather spend as much time as possible in bed, working on another pop. Besides, I can't go home to the SO with wet hair.
Q. How important is sexy lingerie for ya'all? Do you feel comfortable requesting it?
A. I'm pretty neutral on lingerie. It's what's underneath that interests me. On the other hand, I really like a woman who has her own sense of style so I look forward to seeing what she has chosen to wear when the door opens. Sexy lingerie is fine if it is part of the journey.
Q. How about role play- comfort in asking/ talking about it?
Personally I say- meet at least once b4 making special requests, after you meet you may have better ideas on what you wanna see or experience w/ each other.
A. The times I have tried it hasn't really worked out. I reckon the ladies are working hard enough just pretending to find me sexy.
Great post, Mindy. A nice way to start the new year. I hope others respond.
