Well it seems Carol is expecting me to perform in front of others so I have been researching ways not to let her down. Apart from finding something to make everyone want to join in, or waiting till everyone is legless anyway and otherwise occupied, one trick seems to be choosing numbers with limited range and no tricky notes to reach, such as Kylie (if I'm a gurl) and Stereophonics (if I'm a boy). As I'm a boy I hope everyone can sing along to stereophonics :color:

Of the times I've gone to a club as a single male I've only not been 'lucky' on one occasion (about the same number of times as when I've been to clubs with a swinging partner).
But I put that down to not being afraid to chat (and hopefully be interesting) to people without "I want a shag" tattooed on my forehead.
Further words on this in reply to the original post would probably be wasted. The only way to find out about swingers clubs is to go to one, with an open mind and - if I can say it without sounding horribly cheesy - an open heart as well.
Clubs vary a lot, but on the whole I'd say the clubbing scene for most newcomers (like the swinging scene) is nothing like you would ever have imagined (please read that literally, not as an advert - I just mean whatever your views and impressions are beforehand, they will probably change radically.)
Hi - Mark's just PM'd me saying there's a big backlog of reviews on the clubs pages. Running a couple of 'hobby' websites in my spare time and with the time pressures of normal life I know how hard it can be to keep everything up to date. Maybe a dedicated 'club review' thread in the forum could be a possibility?
Back on the original post of this thread - I'd add my support to everyone else that has posted here; but also say maybe let's not blow it up too much - the comment might have been a crass attempt at breaking the ice or just someone opening their mouth without their brain in gear and probably regretting it later. We all make mistakes. Not saying forgive or forget, but maybe writing it off as a one-off bad night might be a simple and positive option too.
I think the singles going into the couples room is a bit off - someone (pref a regular) should have reported it and the management come down firmly, but after the fact it's much harder to do anything. Again, I'm not wanting to play devil's advocate so much as just try and see a way forward. The sort of behaviour you mention always gets my goat, but of course I have usually thought of a contsructive/witty/sensible way to handle it by the time I get home rather than on the spot when it's needed.
Better luck next time - and rest assured most clubs don't see such behaviour (quite interested to know which one it was - PM me if you don't want to name and shame but feel ok about letting me know).
All the best xxx Chris :therethere:
Happy bithday Lucy!

I'd say keep it. It's obviously tongue in cheek and as original as any. Does anyone really think you are the celebrities or multimillionaires and who cares if you were - you are who you are and, from other peeps perspective, the people portrayed in your SH posts and the impressions you create when you meet people, not yourname!
I for one get a genuine good vibe from you - and you had the humility to even question your name - so until proved otherwise you're both cool with me and you can use any name you like!!
:happy:
Great film - especially Laura Linney as the wife subjecting herself to 'de-flowering'. Liked the Kinsey website too - some great links, including a dictionary of misleading words and some great advice on handling discriminating behaviour (eg behaviour offensive to gay, transexual people etc) and common pitfalls, how to defuse tension rather than just increase it by sticking up for those attacked by attacking the attackers.
1. How long does it take to put your white boots on
2. How long does it take to take them off again
3. Do you always take them off?
I think men vary enormously on how much friction they like. Sometimes you can be quite rough, others prefer it exceedingly gentle. For uncircumcised men, the end bit is often particularly sensitive. While some men like gentle biting they are perhaps in the minority - certainly, if I think a pair of teeth is coming anywhere near my penis I can't relax enough to enjoy it!
Varying it a lot probably works for most men. Think of it as a performance (is that why it's called a blow "job"?) and do it impressively.
Then there's classy phrases . . . .
The two nicest I've ever had are
* "May I rest my head in your lap?" (seated in a lift at a posh hotel late at night - I was so slow I literally thought she just meant 'rest' it!! - at least for a few seconds . . .)
and a mindblowingly tasteful: (said in a matter of fact tone before diving under the bedclothes)
*"Excuse me - I have to go and worship"
I agree that porn films are a good intro.
A (bi-lady) friend of mine and her (bi-male) pal had a vigorous end-of-party discussion the other night as to whether men or women are better at blow jobs. Any opinions?
I know we've had 'best songs' to have sex to, and one for best romancin' would be cool, but what about erotic songs?
Madonna has done some great ones, and the recent (uncensored version) of Khia's "My Neck, My Back" was brilliant.
My personal fave is one by the little known artist and feminist icon Karen Finley called "Belgian Waffles".

Anyone know any others?
Silk's recent thread prompted me to try and start this thread - how about we share tips on taking piccies? Judging from the personal pages, there's some damn good photographers on here, so how about helping everyone get up to speed on it?
I'll start it off with some pretty basic ones mostly for nude or semi nude -
Avoid tight clothing few several hours beforehand (knickers and bra-straps can leave marks on the skin)
Practice tensing the muscles before the shot - arching the back or pulling in the buttocks can make the skin look more toned and 'beautiful'.
Try to take the shot so the hips are angled - for instance, the person being photographed is sideways on but turning the upper body towards the camera. Practically anyone who just stands face on to the camera has less aesthetic looking thighs than if they turn at an angle.
For a softer look, use a zoom (softens the relative distance between the end of the nose and the face for instance) or high grain film or a soft filter or smear vaseline (very thinly) on the lens.
High grain film (eg 1400 ASA) is also useful because it means you can shoot indoors without flash. Unless you have professional flash equipment, and (worst) certainly a flash that is attached to the camera, flash will tend to 'bleach' the skin tones.
You can get some very funky effects (PM me for an example or i can post it here if anyone wants) using a slide projector. Take a modern art slide and project it across your subject's nude body to wrap her in silky colours. A dark or black background helps.
Check out your subject's most alluring expressions (easiest to do when just chatting or socialising). They are like fingerprints - everyone's expressions are different. See what stimulates those expressions - a joke? talking about things close to their heart? their dreams? It might be something sexual, but the main rule to make a photo look sexy (rather than just pornographic) is to invest it with emotion.
A simple one to get a 'spontaneous' expression is to say to the subject to look down and away from the camera. When you are ready to release the shutter, ask them to look up and click immediately. The face general has a spontaeous expression until it has had time to 'freeze' on whatever it is looking at. Ot ask them to look at the camera as if they were in love with it, or to 'give it some attitude' (not all subjects willl manage this).
If you have a motor drive or put your stuff through Photoshop, all sorts of things are possible. Carol and I did some recently and I only took them with the intention of creating some modern art pics in photoshop - but both Carol and her husband Fred preferred the 'unaltered' shots! (Carol had one up as an avatar briefly). Some times the result is nice even if not what you expected, so use lots of film and fling the cr*p ones in the bucket teehee!
Maybe peeps know of websites with good tips too?

A bit of a long shot, but are there any film fanatics in Edinburgh?
The question is in relation to the coming Oscars telecast and whether you are so into movies that, like me, you are in seventh heaven watching four hours of non-stop coverage in the early hours of Sunday night/Monday morning and having next Monday morning off work. I could spend a couple of hours the next day discussing the ballgowns alone (and often do - though sadly mostly by email unless some peeps party the night before with me.)
If you've got Sky (I think it's only on Sky Movies 1 but it might be on other channels) I'm happy to provide the nice things to nibble if you provide the telly. (I don't have Sky bwhaaaaaaa!)
Alternatively, there's a party at the Filmhouse - it's a good bash (PM me for details) which is more fun going to in a group or at least with one other film fanatic.
I have to confess that I suspect both options are less than thrilling if you haven't seen at least a good proportion of the films nominated (would you watch a horse race and not place a bet?) and you'll need a nap first as it goes on till almost 5am.
OK, my idea of a social night includes some weird stuff like watching the Oscars, but there's some lovely peeps on here so if any of you do happen to be interested . . .
You can try the usuals - reboot if you haven't done so (cures most mousey probs) and if still funny reinstall the driver

Irma Vep is a fab film for all the latex enthusiasts . . .
Anyone know different on this? Do the SH hosts post on here?
