A Brief History of Mine.
I was born on Sunday the twenty eighth of January Nineteen thirty four, the fifth child of what would become
a family of eight. We lived in a small village about four miles from the Port of Dover in the County of Kent. My father worked for the Water Company, and we had a Company House.
My earliest memories coincide with the start of the second world war when I was five years old. At first not much happened, but when France was occupied we were in range of not only the Luftwaffe, but also long range artillery guns. This is when things started to get interesting. Dover was obviously a prime target, as was a large Radar installation on nearby cliffs. The Battle of Britain took above our heads, which was a great spectator sport for we young lads. At that age we did not think of the Human cost of an aircraft being shot down, and of course they were not all "The Enemy". Later, daily air raids eased off, and night raids became m ore regular. For a while we were living in what was virtually a Battle Zone, with bombs, shells, the noise of the local anti aircraft guns, now mostly at night. By day we walked the mile to school in the next village where two "Schoolmarms" did their best to give us an education.
After a while things quietened down, and several camps of troops sprang up around the area. These were soldiers from many countries assembling for the invasion. We children soon found that the Americans (Or Yanks as they were collectively called!) were good for chewing gum and candy.
When all of camps closed after the invasion things became more or less normal. The odd "Doodle Bug" passed overhead on it's way to London, which would start the AA guns going again, but we thought nothing of this. In January 1945 my second oldest Brother, a crew member in a Lancaster Bomber failed to make it home. Now we had to face the true cost of war.
In 1949 I left school and started a job with a man repairing agricultural machinery, but I was not content with that. Years earlier I had become interested in Aircraft, which was strengthened when my brother joined the R.A.F. so, with visions of the wild blue yonder, on my Sixteenth birthday I enlisted as a Boy Entrant into the Royal Air Force. Unfortunately my rudimentary education was inadequate for Aircrew, so I started training as an aero engine fitter. Eighteen months later I entered the Real air force working on real aeroplanes that actually flew.
When I was Nineteen I met, and Married my first Wife, Betty. Betty never really took to Service life. With partings when posted, irregular hours, and such she was unsettled. However, we still managed to produce five Children over the next eleven years!
In 1964 I left the Air Force and began working for a living. Over the next Sixteen years I had several jobs. These were mainly in engineering, but I spent a couple of years lorry (Truck!) Driving. This of course put more strain on our marriage, with me sometimes away for a couple of days. We agreed to part after our youngest sons' Eighteenth birthday, when he became an adult. This we did. By then I had recently started what was to be my last job. I got a Government job at the local R.A.F. station.
I now spent Ten years alone, which was ended when in 1990 a recently widowed lady moved in next door to me. Naturally, after a while we became close, and we got married on July Fourth 1992. We now live in the small village of Sporle in the county of Norfolk, poor, but Happy!!
Well there you are. Any questions, criticism?

THEN AGAIN...I went to the sprint store to get my wife a new phone yesterday. The phone guy asked if she wanted them to transfer her pics, because it could take a while if she had a lot. So she opens up her phone and starts scrolling through pics to find out how many she had.
Right there, dated January, was a pick of my cock. It was a pic from a year ago, but because of the file date, I know she put it on her phone really recently. I wonder who she's been showing my dick off to?

I've known plenty of women that weren't shy about their carnal desires. Most of them still thought dick pics looked more silly than arousing

Which ironically doesn't actually sound all that different from what my own position was, now that I think about it. Pauline was VERY... uh.. enthusiastic, to put it mildly, but if I wasn't the one asking (and asking often) she would get upset that I apparently wasn't interested in her enough.
Well, I'd propose another thought experiment.
Supposing every poster (male and female) on halforums was unmarried and unattached. Call it, aliens whisked us all to a parallel Earth where our spouses and children never existed, never to return, whatever.
If we proposed a random weekly match, where each female was given a random male poster for a one night stand of guaranteed obligation-free sex, how many female Halforumites do you think would decide to sign up vs not sign up and continue with traditional "gatekeeper" gender roles? And how many males do you think would sign up, even knowing that as they would greatly outnumber female participants even in a 100% participation situation they stand an excellent chance of ending up with nothing? How many on both sides would participate? How many would continue to participate if it cost $10 a try? $100?
GasBandit
The very nature of a trap is that it snares a victim that thought it was pursuing. That she let herself "be caught" doesn't change that he had to chase her. She didn't proposition him, she just responded positively to his advances.And yet you're the one with the friend who got entrapped by sex, right?

Well, maybe you can't spell anomaly, but at least you can spell wierd!
Yeah, late 90s, most everybody got married (sometimes more than once) in the early 2000s.

But what I meant by higher percentage was that, if we have (rounded off numbers) a total of 100 males and 10 females, I'm betting that a higher percentage of those 100 males will sign up than a percentage of the 10 females. And that's part of the experiment - the guys know they stand an excellent chance of not getting paired up, and they'd still pay to play at a greater rate, I'd assert.[DOUBLEPOST=1454374645,1454374622][/DOUBLEPOST]

Again, randomly having sex with anything does not have to be a thing. There are both men and women who do not feel the need to do that, and can still have their sexual needs fulfilled.[emoji14]But I'm glad you think that men and women can't be equal until everyone is fucking Gloryholes with @blotsfan.Heh, maybe an optional checkbox

But it already is a thing.
Yes, and "there are" people with multiple sets of genetalia, and "there are" animals born with two heads. I'm exaggerating here for effect. But my point is, there would be more men willing to engage the randomness than females, because traditional gender roles and society still push the "men as hunters, women as gatekeepers" paradigm. There are always exceptions, but for the most part it's effort for the male and selection for the female. That's a large part of what drives the imbalance we all take for granted - and it's so baked-in a lot of people don't even think about it, or consider undoing it icky.
Ah yes, you're "glad" are you

Plus, a woman taking initiative in things like dating is definitely more societal pressure than anything. But many a psychological study shows that women tend to want sex just as much as men. So if what you meant to say was "When women can openly admit to their desires in public without repercussions that men do not face," then your point is valid. But please do not make the assumption that only men high five each other in the locker room about getting laid.
Also, considering that I think your idea of hanging out with women is at work or with the few women on Halforums, I don't know that you have your own adequate sample size. I mean, I made one comment about a boyfriend's fetish once and horrified a bunch of dudes who didn't want to know that much about my love life.

Because:
- I'm monsterously depressed and unwilling to do anything about it.
- I know better than to dip my quill in the company ink. That doesn't ever work out well.
- I don't want to risk incarceration for soliciting a prostitute.
That is, naturally, a large part of what I'm saying. The stigma has to also be burned away.
I'm not saying that doesn't happen.. I just think men are, in general, willing to go to greater lengths. Because they're used to having to go to greater lengths.
That may be an entirely valid point. For the vast majority of my adult life I was not allowed to have female friends to hang out with - even online - if I wanted to preserve a harmonious home life.Also, considering that I think your idea of hanging out with women is at work or with the few women on Halforums, I don't know that you have your own adequate sample size.

I should explain. Though watching the reactions is very fun. 
I am comfortable ogling, leering, making crude comments towards/about, and generally perving over strangers. People who would not know I'm doing these things to them, and would not be creeped out by it. I am a porn aficionado, particularly when it comes to Japanese porn. I happily peruse the pictures on /r/gonewild and other similar subreddits, and in fact I have a separate Reddit account just for these subreddits. I have a variety of techniques to unobtrusively observe women on trains and buses and sidewalks. I don't take pictures of them, but then again I don't need to, because I know there will be other hot women for me to observe later on.
All that changes when it's someone I know, or at least interact with. I have made it a point never to hit on any of the girls here, and if you go through all my posts in all my accounts, I think you'll find I've kept my word. I also know my behavior can be creepy, which is why I encourage people here to tell me when I'm creeping them out, and I'll knock it off. It's like... once I'm familiar with someone, then I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable, you know?
So, ironically, it's because this thought experiment involves Halforumites that I wouldn't be able to participate. If it was perfect strangers, my name would probably be the first on the list. But when it's people I know... well, I respect you guys too much to have sex with you.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if I get grouped with the girls. I'm constantly getting wrongly registered for stuff. Back when I did my national service, I was taken to an entirely different unit from the one I was actually assigned to. But by the time they'd found out, I'd already learned the ropes there, and was actually doing a fairly good job. So instead of sending me to the correct unit, they actually arranged for me to be officially transferred to the one I ended up at.I think you didn't properly read.
