Hilarious post. So, if you have a small butt you are a masterbator?! Well, that lets me off the hook. What I mean to say is, my butt is not exactly tiny, er, let's just put it this way, I am not sure his theory is correct. On the other hand, let's just keep this ambiguous. Most men have no butts at all so they would be harder to spot and categorize. As far as the climaxing scenario, I would need to think about that, reflect on past experience so to speak. I hope the rest of you will have a little introspection on this as well. Since you appear to be British I would imagine your fantasy might be rather kinkified, or at least I would expect so. The British have this interesting reputation of all starched shirt on the outside but inside they would probably make even Ravi blush. Excuse me while I google this Rose chap... >
