Prove Your Manhood Every Time you have Sex

January 4th 2009 11:01

A condom that measures the size of your manhood, why would you bother? If you were a well-endowed bloke then you have nothing to prove, if you are not, chances are you won’t want to advertise the fact.

Obviously Curiosite the makers of the Condometric feels there is a need for such a product. The Condometric condom has a ruler printed on the side of it (imperial and metric versions are available), so next time you have sex you can measure the size of your mans member.

It is designed to fit a penises sized from small up to 25cm long (hmm not sure many women could fit one that long). They are availble in four fantastic flavours, Natural Power, Cherry Rider, Katana Lima and Papito Banana .

Not sure who the target market would be for this type of product, I suppose it would be a great joke gift, or Kris Kingle. What do you think? Great idea or totally tasteless?

The Mixed Tape

December 21st 2008 05:36

We moved house recently, which always ends up being a trip down memory lane as I search through old boxes of treasures that have lain buried for years.

As I was sifting through one particular box, I was swept back to the late eighties, by a small time capsule in the shape of a mixed tape.

Wow a mixed tape, full of so much emotion. Unlike nowadays when with a couple of clicks on your computer and hey presto you have a CD compilation of all your favourite songs. The mixed tape was a well thought out labour of love, most people in their late 20s to late 30s understand.

There was the mixed tape that you put together for yourself with all your favourite songs, which sometimes entailed you listening to the radio all day with the play, record and pause buttons all pressed down. When you hear your favourite song come on the radio, you run to your stereo and take the tape off pause. How heartbreaking it was when the tape ends, and you are only halfway through the song and you need to quickly turn the tape over, or worse find another tape, by which time the song is nearly finished.

Mixed tapes were also something you gave or received from friends or lovers, full of ‘meaningful songs’. I found one from an early boyfriend with the songs “Gold” and “True” by Spandau Ballet. As well as “You spin me round”. That particular guy got a mixed tape from me with “I just died in your arms tonight,” by the cutting crew, “Electric Blue” by Icehouse, and Madonnas “Crazy for You”.

Another boyfriend I had lived in a different town from me. His mixed tape had “I miss you” by Klymaxx (?).

When I broke up with said boyfriends, my mixed tapes included songs such as “Love Bites” from Def Leppard.

Wow so much emotion stored in one little piece of plastic. Were you a giver or receiver of a mixed tape? What was on them and is there a story behind them.

Caught U Lookin

September 14th 2008 03:24

Have you ever had one of those rare moments when you locked eyes with a stranger, out in public and felt an instant connection, or fireworks, and then thought to yourself, what if?
What if the situation was different, and I could meet that person? Would it go anywhere?

I remember a couple of situations. One time when I was living in London, I was going up the escalator from the Jubilee Line at Waterloo and he was coming down. Our eyes locked, and I felt a jolt of energy surge through my body as we smiled at each other. I snuck a quick look over my shoulder and caught him sneaking quick look over his.

I smiled to myself all the way home, actually I was probably grinning like a Cheshire cat on the outside too because everyone that passed me smiled as well. Apart from those Londoners that are freaked out by friendly strangers and assume you are a nutter.

Another time, I was in a bank in Australia, and there was an attractive guy standing at the next teller. I saw him looking over at me out of the corner of my eye, I looked at him and he smiled and said “Gidday”. I said “hi”. We both carried on with our banking business for a while, he kept looking over, and every time I looked, he smiled. I finished my banking first and walked out; he turned around as I was leaving as if he was going to say something. Should I have lingered outside? Should I have made a move? I bottled it and left.

Anyway, the point is incidents like that can really brighten up your day. So much so that there is now a website dedicated to these missed connections. The website, called caughtulookin.com, allows people sign up and leave a message without fear of embarrassment or rejection in a public place.

It costs £20 and you would have to hope that your anonymous flame knew about the site too. Perhaps in London or other big cities where it is difficult to meet someone, something like this is a great idea. This really appeals to my romantic side, but my practical side is not so sure.

Personally, as much as I enjoy those moments, I think if it was meant to be I would have met those guys in a situation that was more convenient. And as much as I walked away imaging us getting married and living happily ever after, I know the reality is, we may not get along or they may have been an A@#hole, or married or just a player. By not meeting them, I can carry on in a delusional state of bliss enjoying the moment.

A sly way to avoid difficult conversations

August 13th 2008 03:32

First, we get mobile phones that send text messages, meaning we can avoid having difficult conversations with people like, “I don’t want to see you anymore,” or “I can’t make it tonight my cat is sick.”

Now there is a new phone service called Slydial available in America. The service allows users to connect directly with someone’s voice mail, without their mobile phone actually ringing, thus risking them actually answering

Have you ever had a time where you wish that everything at that exact moment would last forever. Where the way you feel, the person you are with, the place you are at, even the smells around you are just too perfect too want to let go. Yea.. but it's crazy because the same exact person in the same exact place with the same exact smell that made you feel incredible 1 day can make you feel pain you have never experienced the next. And you try so hard to get just a taste of that moment back where you were on cloud 9 and nothing could bring you down but you can't. Then you try to let go but your mind keeps getting stuck on the fact that something so bad was once so good and can't understand exactly why. In the end you are happy to have one moment in time where for once in your life everything was perfect that no one can ever take from you. And you are left with the realization that times change, even when you don’t want them to..

It’s crazy how things work out.. Just when you think you have everything figured out, something or someone comes into your life and changes it. I don’t know how many times I’ve said "I know my true friends" or "I know what my life is all about" or my personal favorite "I give up on love". But then a friend stabs me in my back, my life does a 180, and my heart wants to give 1 more guy a chance. And even though this constant change leaves me feeling like I’ve lost control at times.. somehow everything ends up clicking. You just have to come to grips that there are some things that you can’t control and realize that just because you can’t control them doesn’t mean you should just give up on them. One of my favorite sayings is "Never give up on something you can’t go a day without thinking about" because to be honest, the best things in life come from situations you can’t control.

Isn’t it crazy how much you can miss a person. You miss them so much that you can’t cry because you know it won’t bring them back, but you can’t get mad because it’s something you can’t control. And the dreams, man the dreams.. they seem so real; it’s like they are standing right infront of you waiting for a hug. But when you reach out, you wake up and realize there isn’t anyone there to hold, just a pillow.. And it’s not like it only happens at night because you find yourself in a constant daze, daydreaming about them. Thinking about the things you would do or say if they were to just walk through that door. Then just thinking about them makes you all excited and you look at the door.. but no one is there.. It gets to a point where you can almost see them, almost hear their voice, almost smell their scent, and almost touch them. But like Brandy said in her song, almost doesn’t count.

Want to know something.. this thing called life is full of scandals. Friends will turn on you without warning, explanations or sympathy. Infact they will walk all over u then flip the script and blame you for being in the way. The blind aren't the only ones who don't see what’s infront of their face; some people will never realize what they lost no matter how much you try to make them see. The people you look up to like your siblings, mentors, friends, and even your parents have secrets.. life changing hurtful secrets that you may find out unintentionally one day, forcing you to question the credibility of the lessons they preached to you for all of those years. Bad things happen to wonderful people, great things happen to the shadiest people, and karma doesn't always make its way back around. There are liars, cheaters, jerks, and ignorant people.. and universities do accept them and employers do hire them, so you can't always trust your surroundings. You will have days, weeks, and months where nothing seems right. Nothing is 100%, there is always room for the unpredictable in the highest probabilities..

YES it's true, life is full of unfair scandals but that's why there are mobiles to call, ears to listen, shoulders to cry on, addresses to email and best guy friends that live around the corner to let you in and make you laugh at all times of the night

. I wish there was a law limiting how many times your heart can break, how many tears you can cry, or how many people you are behind before it's your time to shine, but wishes aren't always reality. My suggestion.. when you are down, don't take peoples advice of thinking about the others that have it worse than you and suck up your pain. Give your pain justice.. cry, complain, get mad.. then move on because the easiest way to fly to higher limits is by letting go of your deadweight..
