    Reading some of the questions asked (in the drug and sex boards especially) over time has made me wonder this. I've seen some of the silliest questions that you'd think people would have no trouble figuring out for themselves--like "How do you give a blow job?" or "How do you smoke pot?" Whatever happened to the good ol' days of trial and error? Are people really so neurotic now that they have to look it up online first before experiencing anything? Your thoughts..

    Trial and Error?......either by dangling his dong out his pants for everyone to see or by man-groping every guy's crotch in sight and comparing sizes?

    Well...maybe that shit will fly in san francisco but i wouldnt encourage that type of curiosity in public

    Re-read the thread... um, I think sometimes looking up things on the internet is a good start- you can at least get an idea safety wise about stuff and then experience.

    what im saying is if he's so insecure about his puny insignificant miniscule cock of nothingness, then maybe he should talk to his father and ask him why he gave him such shitty genes otherwise keep it in your pants where he and nobody else can see it and i dont have to hear about your groin until your crying because i just smashed your tiny lil balls with the worlds smallest violin

    I think yes and no. I think people could miss out on a lot of one-on-one relationships if they get too into it.. I think if people "abuse" it, like get addicted to it, it coule be bad, but if you are using it to somewhat better yourself it can be a good thing. I always say how different high school would have been for me if there were myspace.. i dont really know why, but the internet is definitely a whole new window to the world..

    This is why we should all be required to walk around naked, so we know what we're getting and don't get shafted.

    well i remember buying a book on sex when i was 17/18 but only to get ideas on what to experiment on... it actually came in handy in later relationships too. i still have it somewhere i think...

    kids/people are curious... and don't want to seem dumb with their friends and/or sig others trying to learn these things out of no knowledge at all... or i know that's how i felt growing up

    Good point. I wonder if, then, the internet has enabled people to have overall higher self-esteem because they're going into situations more confident. Hmm..

    I'm just amazed how easily you can get information these days. As a kid, if you wanted to know something you had to go to the library and search the card catalog, but in the end, fat chance you actually found what you were looking for.


    Now, ask the right question and the world is yours. Hmm... as for that question.....[​IMG]

    do men with small penis' scare you? such anger. on the net you have a choice whether to read a thread...in life, you cant always avoid a guy with a small pcker flashing you or someone groping you unwanted...you can react, but the choice isnt yours......
