A woman went to her doctor for advice.

She told him that her husband had developed a penchant for anal sex, and
she was not sure that it was such a good idea.

The doctor asked, "Do you enjoy it?" She said that she did.

He asked, "Does it hurt you?" She said that it didn't.

The doctor then told her, "Well, then, there's no reason that you shouldn't 
practice anal sex,  if that's what you like, so long as you take care not to 
get pregnant."

The woman was mystified. She asked "You can get pregnant from anal sex?"

The doctor replied, "Of course. Where do you think attorneys come from?" 
 
Wishing all LGBTs and the whole wide world
a very happy New Year.

Re: g_b Have you ever asked your barber?

[asfan]

What's wrong in using one's shaving razor??  I use my "Fusion"  and it does the 
job excellently.

God helps those who help themselves.  Amen.

Tintin use a hair removing cream like Veet, Anne French, etc. on your pubic, 
perianal (around the anus) and axillar (arm pit) areas. Do the elbow test of 
the product before using it and follow instructions on the product package. On 
some skin types they give allergic reactions. Many use the products in those 
areas without any harmful effects. If you have a pre-existing skin condition 
please ask your doctor before using these products. In such cases a pair of 
scissors should help you trim your pubic hair atleast. If your partner is fond 
of rimming then your perianal hair will need to be removed.

I had a brash college mate (straight) who used to ask a barber near our college 
and the barber would take him "behind the curtains" to trim/shave his 
pubic/axillar hair. No shame, just a financial transaction. And, yeah!,  no 
prejudice either :-) If you have a close friend who can do this for you then 
you are through. :p


Waxing will hurt - BIG TIME!  It's called a Brazilian Wax. A macho friend of 
mine was reduced to tears as the waxing was being performed on him. Just 
looking at him whimpering on the bed put the fear of the Lord of Waxing in me. 


Another option is expensive laser hair removal. But, as far as I know, in India 
they don't do it on those areas in salons like Kaya, etc.

Dear All,
A long-time ago, The Doctor (Vikram) posted on GB Listserve and thus let me 
know about that great comic strip called TJ and Amal


I have been hooked to it since and it has now reached a rather interesting turn 
(Call it redemption song) where the neo-hippy TJ turns out to be a ---(well 
read the comic dah'lins, cant tell you in advance, can I?) --- and redeems 
himself by flushing his business (and past) down the toilet (Literally) at the 
urging of his new found love, the cute Indian med student 
Amal

Re: g_b Hiding Bisexuality Increases Risk of Depression

[Deep]

I am one of "these gays" who have been propositioned by bisexuals who
pretend to be completely gay. Those lying bisexuals are heaped with
scorn and abuse by the likes of me - without the slightest of remorse.
My point is: Be upfront about your sexual orientation (bi/gay) when you
are seeking to meet folks in the LGBT community. If my PlanetRomeo
profile clearly mentions that I DO NOT want any interaction with
bisexuals/married men/prostitutes/etc., I think bisexuals/../.. should
respect that and keep off. Don't you think so TinTin?
