    You never know! Sharon Stone was in Middlesbrough for some event a few years back!

    But come now, John Cusack and Cameron Diaz are the only ones? I bet there's one or two more you could possibly spy on a nice outing to the right streets in London. :D

    we never go anywhere near london :D

    If you make disgustingly suggestive comments about women you're a mindless perv that needs to get a life. No one is suggesting anyone is a rapist in waiting.

    instead youre suggesting that one comment defines an entire human being. which is clearly !!!!!!!! whichever way you look at it.

    I suppose LA is out of the question then? :D

    Still, has to be a few footballers around Newcastle although I can't say I'm overly familiar with how attractive Newcastle players are considered to be.

    I know someone who claims to have met Shola Ameobi. Apparently they had a game of Pro Evo once. So the story goes, Shola chose to play as Manchester United... tsk, tsk...

    No it was being commented on what he would do with her. A very very common discussion in male only conversations. I remember being shocked when I first went into the workplace at 14 and heard it :D
    Well 27 years later and it's still the same!

    Well the missionary position can get a bit boring after a few years, nothing wrong with making it a bit more exciting.
    If you look in every sexual help book, what's the first thing you see every time? Have fantasies, that's what. Every single time. It's the experts saying that, not me. I just happen to agree with them.

    Well yeah, it should be in private, of course, but sometimes you can accidentally get overheard and leeway has to be given.
    Which is I think where the OP comes in.

    It's a shame that in 27 years attitudes haven't improved! ;)

    You won't be surprised to learn that I have no desire to know about your sexual activities that should be private and not for an internet forum!!:eek:

    By private there should be no way that anyone else can hear.
    Lost my soulmate so life is empty.

    I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

  • You were as I'm sure you know but then again probably you think the comments were 'harmless banter'. :rotfl:

    Why should I or anyone else have to put up with this kind of talk in a work environment.



    This is just splitting hairs, talking in this way is not a discussion in any way I recognise.

    I wouldn't have put up with. Dropped a male friend of a few years, as (after a few years) belatedly discovered had a 'thing' for me. Made me feel sick. Ugh, was my friend.
    Oh well...

    on the contrary, with the waning influence of the religious attitudes have improved immeasurably.

    id rather deal with a bit of harmless banter than some nutter demanding that everyone wearing two fabrics or eating shellfish be stoned to death and/or sold into slavery. or a complete nutter in a frock and gold necklace telling the world that gay people are the biggest threat to humanity.:rotfl:

    27 years ! Try 27 hundred years. It's inbuilt to us. Society might try to clean us up a bit, but it's never going to work.

    What I choose to share on an internet forum is up to me. I haven't told you any details anyway. If you can't stand the generic way I talk about sex, then I'm sorry for you, it's not something that should be locked away anymore, it's not unclean, nor unhealthy, it's a normal part of life.

    I doubt everyone who discusses anything about anyone, is going to go to a private sound proof room to do so. There is always a chance to be overheard.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Sadly you probably have a point that some people feel the need to behave in this way.

    It's entirely up to you if you want to discuss about your private sex life on the internet, I just happen to think that the only person you should discuss it with is the other person in the relationship. Just because I believe it should be private doesn't mean that I think its unclean or unhealthy.
