What if she was the best sex you ever had ? (You only found out she smoked
until afterwards. What were you two up to :-)

Or, better reason (better than great sex ? No, but more relevant to this

|Only one (1) question:  what's a NASTAR race?

NASTAR is a national amatuer ski racing organization.  Ski resorts around
the country set up courses (basically easy giant slalom).  Usually someone
from the race team at the resort will set a pacesetting time for that 
day. Then anyone that wants to race will pay their five bucks or whatever and
can take a couple of runs at the course.  A handicap system is used based on
gender and age.  If you're within a certain percentage of the pacesetters
time,  gold, silver or bronze medals are awarded.  It's a way for amatuer
skiers to run a timed race course.  Skiers of all abilities run NASTAR. The
HP racing team used to use the NASTAR courses for qualifying for the bay
area team.  Learning race technique is a good way to improve the ability
of any skier.  This is especially true for intermediate skiers that seem to
be stuck at that level.  A race clinic will teach you edge control and when
you're trying to get down a course as fast as possible you lose the fear
factor.  It makes you more aggresive and that always helps your ability.

For a real good time, strap on a helmet and run a downhill course.  I've run
two downhills and you can't believe the rush as you approach and cross the
finish line.  Everyone that crossed the finish line had a smile on their face.

Considering that it's apparently now legal for women to go topless in
New York State, it would seem to be more fun to hold a Boink in New York,
topless-wise at least.

Hey folks,

 I read somewhere, can't remember where, about the results of a morality
questionaire.  A few thousand adult males in an urban area were polled,
if I remember correctly.  Two particularly disappointing points that stuck in
my head were the following questions:

 1. Have you ever seriously considered raping a woman?
     the "Yes"'s were somewhere in the 10-15% area

 2. Do you think you could ever actually rape a woman if you were
    given assurance that you could not get caught?
     the "Yes"'s skyrocketed to somewhere in the 50-70% area this time.

If this is accurate, then it seems Bart Simpson's "I didn't do it-no one
saw me do it-you can't prove a thing" attitude is more than just a popular
form of entertainment - it's a current attitude in the country.
Any ideas on what we can do about this?

I believe the people are much warmer, friendly, and down to earth

So, if anyone has any suggestions as to where to go and get a good

I am also a professional photographer, so scenic or any photographic

Yes - get a "human" attitude towards "sex"; to say, other people as such
and their needs and peculiarities.

And if you're married and having something more than just fantasies
about raping: talk more with your wife/husband. No, this doesn't mean
talking about the weather or the current supersales at the local
K-mart.

   Ya know the weird thing is that even if they think its wrong, I bet most
   guys would at least be tempted by the allure of a pretty youngster (seems
   to also be true for some male homosexuals and 14 year old boys). 

I certainly would be tempted.  At least by the girls.

   I suspect that this "allure of youth" isn't something that attracts
   most women. A 14 year old boy, no matter how pretty, would simply be
   of no sexual interest to me at all. So am I right ladies and
   gentlemen, is this really a gender difference?


I think there are two gender-specific differences at play here: (1) I am
suspicious that female breeding choices are influenced by "will the
father of my baby stay around to help feed the little bastard" and (2)
males are more likely to be interested in 14 year girls because girls
get a substantial head start on puberty.  How about comparing a 14 year
old girl and a 16 year old boy?

Nah, couldn't be--smokers taste bad (yes, there too), generally don't have
enough endurance, and have pretty much all their senses (not just smell
and taste) deadened to the point they're just not much fun.

On the other hand, recent ex-smokers who are just discovering what their
newly reawakened senses can do can be a lot of fun (just be sure to have
some snacks handy to keep your respective blood-sugars up).

   I need the net's help again on a problem I am having.  I was dating a girl

think that she may be interested except for the following :

   1.)  She is always complaining about men and how there are no good ones out
        there.

   2.)  Every time we do anything except visit (movies, dinner etc.) she brings
        along a mutual friend.  (This may just be because our friend lives by
        herself and is a little lonely)

   3.)  She never states her real feelings. There have been many guys lately
        who she has dated or who just like her and she won't just come out and
        tell them that she is not interested because she is to wimpy.  She
        hasn't had a real date for a while though.

   4.)  She is very friendly so maybe I am mistaking her "signals."

 So I need help in determing nonverbal ways that she may be telling me that she
 is interested in me.  And also just anything that could be a clue without her
actually saying that she would like to get together.  This is driving me crazy
because I have this problem all the time.

   Thanks,
           Chris
