Gee Mykayla, tell us how you really feel! (JK) Sounds like this Julian is a whole lotta eye candy. It also sounds like between the new "Jenna's Velvet Jewels" and "Velvet Thrust" it could be a VERY interesting (not to mention, velvety!) evening! Thanks for the heads-up (pun intended)!!

Oooooo, me likes the looks of that.

Okay, what I was able to find after a google search, it is indeed a sexual position. The man is laying down, face up, and the woman is on top of him, also facing up supporting herself by her arms and legs with the torso area remaining elevated (picture the "crab walk" position we all used to do in elementary school). Sounds rather advanced and requiring a tremendous amount of arm and leg strength. So, there you go.

Regardless of whether this behaviour in your eyes is right or wrong, this is his mother. Mothers are sacred to their sons. He may agree with you 100% to your face, but, if he has any respect at all for his mom, he is not going to dis her to her face. I'm sorry to tell you this, but this is one argument, discussion, whatever you want to call it, you WILL NOT win. When my DH and I first married, my M-I-L was terribly critical of everything I did. From the house work to the cooking to the kids (think Marie from "Everybody Loves Raymond"). Okay, a slight exageration. She was more the quiet critical type. Tended to "cluck" alot (you know the thing with the tongue that says whatever your doing at the moment is so not the right thing-LOL). Anyway, when I would complain to the hubby, he would molify me, make nice with me, then say NOTHING to his mother. This was not an isolated thing to our marriage. It is rare the son that will attempt to correct their mother. (How do I know at this moment that Howard will absolutely respond to that statement? JK-Howard) Anyway, as I've aged, I've learned that you basically have to take these kind of things with a grain of salt. This is how she has always responded to him as a mother and you should also remember that, unfortunately and like it or not, you are a threat to that relationship at this time. I don't mean that in a nasty way, but rather she has always been the number one female in his life. There is competition for that affection now and she must have time to adjust to that. I know this all sounds incredibly unhealthy, but, as Howard stated, it is all very normal. I'm sure it isn't what you want to hear, it certainly wasn't what I would have wanted to be told at that time. But, look at this way, imagine what a loving grandmother she could be someday!

To answer your original question, yes, there is such a thing as an anal yeast infection. Yeast likes a warm, moist environment, be it the vagina or the rectum. Yeast is present in the GI tract which, of course, includes the rectum. This "intense" itching that you are describing would tend to lean more towards yeast than a possible healing abrasion or tear. Keep in mind also that yeast likes the various "sugars" that can be found in some lubricants (these can be listed several different ways in ingredient listings on the product). Keep this in mind for the future and check your lubricant to see if you are using one that possibly contains this as it can certainly make a nice food source for the yeast. The most important thing you can do at this point is to talk with your doctor about the problem and go with his recommendations. Remember, this is absolutely nothing that they haven't heard in the past so don't let embarrasment keep you from discussing this with them! Good luck to you.

I just can't narrow this down to one: 1. Shopping, shopping, shopping (for anything or anybody) 2. Mick's Oreo cheesecake 3. Hair salon for cut and color 4. Long, hot baths (alone or with my sweetie!) 5. Reading a really good book ALL day 6. Going to Vegas for a long weekend and spending a ridiculous amount on room service 7. While in Vegas, going to our usual adult store and spending about an hour looking, laughing and buying!

You know, the previous two posts are what I like most about this board. I don't mean to embarass ya'll, but, how great is it that we can get a response from both sides of a couple? Ya'll are two of the main reasons I read this board. You are so open and sharing with each other and with all of us. Thanks so much for that. (BTW, both of those post belong on the "sweetest thing" contest.) This is very hard for me to admit, but, the one thing I regret the most was early in our relationship I had some real problems with addiction. It wasn't alcohol or illegal substances but prescription meds. I had some accidents and health issues at that time and was prescibed pain meds and others that are highly addictive. I didn't know where to stop and things got out of hand. There were several of the meds that definitely affected by personality. To put it bluntly, I was a bitch. My DH never once made me feel alone or abandoned. He stuck with me through it all even when I was physically abusive to him once. He had every reason to leave me but didn't. I will spend the rest of my life making that up to him and showing him as much unconditional love as he showed me then, and has continued to ever since.

That's interesting Mikayla, I can smell Everclear a mile away. It does go down smooth, though (until it hits the tummy, then LOOK OUT). I make homemade limoncello with Everclear sometimes, vodka when I don't want it quite so strong, and I guess I'm just used to working with it but it has a very potent smell to me. Did you ever try pure grain alcohol? I mean the kind you buy back in the woods from guys named Bubba or Coot? Back in the day, that was one of our few choices because we were underage (not to mention stupid!) and it was cheaper than buying a six pack from the same guys. Curl your toes and, God, talk about a burn going down. Regardless, you are right, Everclear is the number one ingredient in the college "hunchpunch" (gotta love that Hawaiian punch and Everclear) and about put me on my ass one night. Typical frat party with barrells of the stuff and, sad to say, I was underage and didn't know any better. Found myself, just in the nick of time I might add, half naked with a guy that would have been very hard to live down at that college. He had slept with everyone and, I think, everyTHING in the county at one time or another. YUCK! Never, ever let that happen again to me.

Not sure how I missed your part of this post but when I did see it I had to go do a search on the lipstick vibrator. Man (or woman, as the case may be), I gotta get me one of these! That is too cool and what a turn on to know you have with you all the time and for ANY time that might arise. Hehehehe.

Oh, yes, yes, yes to the strawberries. This came about quite by accident though. We were staying in a really nice hotel in Vegas several years back and ordered room service breakfast. Strawberries were included with powdered sugar. Things got frisky and I reached over and just grabbed one and I think just laid in my belly button. One thing led to another and pretty soon we were eating strawberries off of each other from about any place you can imagine. Now, every time we stay in a hotel that offers room service (which we make a point of doing now!) we ALWAYS have strawberries with breakfast. Not much into chocolate though. I'm too much of a neat freak and can't stand being sticky (although I will tolerate whipped cream-go figure). I have always had a little fantasy involving bananas. Wonder what the DH would think of that!? Just might have to give that one a try before too long.

Having been in the medical field for years, I developed a latex allergy from the gloves. For probably 10+ years my hands stayed constantly inflammed and unbelievably not a single doctor I worked with could diagnose exactly what the problem was. The doctor I have worked with for the last 9 years was the first one to suggest a possible latex allergy. Started wearing vinyl gloves and haven't suffered a day since. One comment Glennbaker1 made about Astroglide caught my attention. Is their something in this product that can aggravate those with a latex allergy? I have used Astroglide for probably six months or more and haven't had any problems. I don't ever want to get back to the point I was at before so just thought I would ask. My DH and I are starting to explore anal, and seeing that I am something of a neat freak, I purchased some of the lambskin condoms for him to use. I agree with babeinwoods, using these will allow you to continue using the toys that you love (although it gets a little expensive as the lambskins are not cheap). It is amazing, when you start looking for it, how many products in everyday use contain latex. Just about anything rubber these days contains latex. A tremendous amount of medical supplies contain latex including IV tubing, syringes and so forth. We have started to carry latex free products for our patients who have this sensitivity. Some have allergies so severe, that simply breathing in the powder from the gloves can induce a violent reaction.

Joey 9817, you crack me up. Another idea is to try one of the newer razors that have come out that have the built-in "slick" strip. They are usually made with aloe or some other type skin protector. This helps to provide an additional skin protector and also to prevent irritation when adding pressure to get the last few "nubs". A couple of the ones I have tried are Gillette Venus and the Schick Quattro. They give an incredibly close shave without so much of the irritation.

My DH definitely knows I'm on here and posting. However, I will say he doesn't know that I have changed my id. I did this because I have shared this site with my adult children and I'm just not ready for them to be able to identify exactly who I am. He also gets on and reads the articles, but, as yet, hasn't posted. I can't really see him sharing on here because it just isn't his thing to speak out publicly about sex. I can't tell you how much this site has improved our sexual relationship. After 22 years, we were definitely in a rut and in the last year and a half this has COMPLETELY turned around. He is very receptive to the info that he reads and also to me sharing what I have learned. I will second the thanks to Mikayla and add Mikayla's Man, Howard, Tyger and the many others that take the time to share, encourage, teach, and, on occasion, call us on the bullshit we have spent a lifetime believing. It's uplifting to know that there are many others out there that have the same insecurities, fears and misconceptions and not one of us is alone in this crazy thing we call love.

Seeing that I'm only about 5'2" I can't really give the OP much help, BUT, am I the only one here that wants to comment on Joey9817? Come on ladies! This is a ladies man if I've ever heard one (and I mean that in the best possible sense). Your wife is one lucky lady to have you. I think there are many guys out there that could learn a tremendous amount if they shared the same attitude that you have. To your wife, from one very lucky lady (my DH shares a very similiar opinion about pleasing me) to another, hang on to this guy with both hands (and a couple of looonnnggg legs). BTW, Howard, I totally agree with you on the man's shirt thing. This past weekend on our little romantic escape, I did just that. I snuck one of his white dress shirts into my suitcase along with a pair of fuschia satin panties. I thought he was going to lose it before the fun ever got started! Try it ladies if you haven't ever done this (which I had not). He thought it was way hotter than some of the lacy, see-through stuff I have. For those of you like me, i.e. very short, it can make even the shortest legs look amazingly long. And to the OP, be very proud of that height. I would give anything for just a couple of those inches. Well, maybe not ANYthing. HA.

This isn't really "advice" but I had to relate a "what happened to me" story. This past w/end, the DH and I had a very nice romantic little get away. Stayed in a very nice hotel that provided HBO. Years ago we used to watch the show "Real Sex" and really enjoyed it so we were pleasantly surprised to find it on one night. One thing led to another and things started getting hot. My DH begins to play with my clit and instead of rubbing in circles as usual, he applies direct hard pressure without moving his finger around. Lo and behold, and to my great delight, I lit up like the fourth of July and off I went. He has never tried this before and I'm not sure what possessed him to try it that night, but, thank the good Man above he did. He tried it again the next day, but it didn't work the same and actually was quite uncomfortable. It was back to the light circular motion. Anyway, I guess the moral to the story is orgasming can take different things on different nights to accomplish. You are severely limiting yourself if you can only get off in one position. I found it easier to figure out the "how" by playing alone first then teaching my DH what works and what doesn't. Toys can be a huge help in this because there aren't too many positions that you can get into that you can't use some toy to move the process along. I was never able to orgasm doggy style with intercourse alone. And, on top of that, I am not a petite woman, so it was hard to reach the clit in this position. Out came the vibrator and, may I say, WOW. Cowgirl? it takes a cock ring with a mini bullet, and HELLO! Reverse cowgirl? the DH's finger works every time. Missionary? a small bullet. You get the idea. Very few women can orgasm through intercourse alone (Mikayla, I am soooo jealous of you!). It takes a little ingenuity and creativity, but it is possible, it may just take a different route than you are used to. Start thinking outside the box and it can be accomplished. Good luck to you.
