POST: I was convinced by a buddy of mine who was spotting me to push out one more rep on the bench press today at the gym. I am not particularly used to bench pressing because I do not do it often. Specifically, he said that when I couldn't do anymore, to signal him and that he would guide me along one last slow rep up.

He was actually doing very well. He kept to the backyard, and didn't wander off too far from the house. I could call him, and he'd come running back home looking for pets.

It's meer fantasy, just as he probably wouldn't actually have sex with various women at a time at a bondage party - I probably wouldn't actually have sex with a girl. 2. Straight porn is aimed almost entirely at satisfying a mans senses - Gagging blow jobs, anal sex from the male POV, hideously faked orgasms. I very rarely come across a scene of a co

So at this point, I no longer venture down that path. I know that she will be physically close and touching each other, as they share a passion for work-out, acrobatics, lifts, and circus-like stuff.
