I'm quite fond of unusual facts, I'm sure you folks are full of 'em.

Like these.....

    While having sex men reach orgasm quicker,it lasts longer and feels better if they are wearing socks :roll:
    Wearing socks raises the bodies temperature making it more relaxed and responsive.

    Oh jeez :roll: now they have a "scientific" reason!!

    Well, I don't know if that's a fact because if he was wearing socks while attempting to have sex with me, he wouldn't be fucking orgasming at all.......until they were off.

    Socks and sex DO NOT mix.

    :lol::o:lol:
    My very point my dear,my very point :lol::lol::lol: ....... but jeez it's fecking scary to think that they now have a "proven scientific" reason to suggest such an atrocity.
    They absolutely DO NOT mix .... when I told my boy I said if you want one of those "sock orgasms" your doing it on your own baby.ON YOUR OWN :!:

    I did genuinely read that the research had taken place and that was the conclusion "socks = better orgasm"

    If the world were 100 people

    There would be:

    57 Asians

    21 Europeans

    14 from North and South America

    8 Africans

    52 would be female

    48 would be male

    70 would be nonwhite, 30 white

    59% of the entire world's wealth would belong to only 6 people

    and all 6 would be citizens of the United States

    80 would live in substandard housing

    70 would be unable to read

    50 would suffer from malnutrition

    1 would be near death

    1 would be near birth

    Only 1 would have a college education

    99 of them will not see this message,

    because only 1 would have a computer.
