How North Americans lose their edge?

Allowing that Okinawa is currently part of Japan...

And with tongue in cheek regarding Okinawan supremacy over westerners vis a vis the martial arts...

Perhaps this is the reason: http://www.boston.com/news/daily/17/sex_survey.htm

Well, I hear tell that at least their shins are pretty hard.

Isabella Rossalini gets my vote.

Actually, we lost our edge by getting so unusually fat. Diabetes is skyrocketing even among our young as continue to gorge ourselves on what could be history's most unhealthy diet (of choice), whilst attributing our girth to genes and comfort eating, ignoring the substantially less substantial figures more common in the parts of the world our ancestors are found in. At least we'll keep our cardiologists busy.

On an unrelated note, look at those average loss of virginity and shed a tear for the woefully stupid way we teach (fail to teach) sex ed in this country.

Kevin,

Is Callista a callipygian woman?

Seriously, this is a fun? Thread! One the will scare away women’s input…you just watch.

Why is it fun? Well… I had this discussion in Europe a few years back and the question was:

“What is the definition of sex”

European women will give one definition; American women another, and so on. But then, of course, every woman is different and every one has her own ideas of what sex with a man should be.

Same for men of different nationalities.

The counter argument as to who has the “most sex” is that usually that “sex” is of the ” slam bang, thank you maam” kind, more like a bodily function. Image

Americans have been accused of that by the European women. Supposedly we are too busy, work too much, drink too much, watch too much football, we are insensitive, too uptight, too prudish, hate foreplay, we think sex is strictly a matter of bodily parts, etc. Image

Are we really that insensitive?

This topic on the Italian forum would generate lots of women’s responses. Here I’ll bet we will be lucky to get three or four, and that’s stretching it. Image

PS. But I can understand the reluctance of some women to speak up on this subject. They would appear as to provide a "libido" signature and become the target of the idiots surfing this page. Believe me, there are many.

So I recommend being careful with any riposte.

If I could stop laughing long enough to think of some kind of reply - I'd try - but it's hard to type when you're shaking with laughter...

Thanks for the laugh guys - don't stop now you are on a roll! Image

How about this one:

What's the difference between a prostitute, a mistress and a wife?

Funny, and funnier...

But first how about definitions of prostitute, mistress, and wife?

I'll take the first one: [Latin prôstitûta from feminine past participle of prôstituere, to prostitute : prô-, in front. See pro-1 + statuere, to cause to stand.] Image

Anyone like the English counterpart? __STRUMPET__

Bad... very bad!! Image

As for the differences involved between those three - I'll wait and see if anyone bites first. It's an old joke - can't blame me for the punch line. And it's not PC either - and I could care less. As if it looks like it from my intro to this thread! Ha!

That's just the mood I'm in! Image
