    Have you ever had a gay (same sex) experience?

    Nope, not into men to be honest, I don't see the appeal from a personal point of view. I do have gay friends, (male and female) and to be honest it was never a big deal to me. As the saying goes whatever you are into yourself once you dont hurt someone. Anyway I have to say, its threads...

    Poll: How Would You Cope With A Change Of Sex?

    Hmmm if it was short term could be interesting to see how the fairer sex lives and to compare sex itself to see which is better and to see how society would view me differently. Long term I couldnt tell you, I am happy being a man and i know no other way so I cant tell you if I would like...

    Tired of Being a Loser

    Howdy, I would change gradually. First thing is not a massive change but will make every other change much easier. .. do something every day that scares you. This may be something as small as a phone call where you have the option of a call or e-mail. Secondly I would start exercising...

(Its said that its the...

    Why do people reject evolution?

    Honestly, I think the problem here is people as this thread shows. As children in general we believe what we are told one way or another. This can lead to concrete belief when we get older.. dad said it was so then it must be. Seriously, if you are religious, and I speak of nearly all...

    Your opinion on Gym Class

    Ever think its like other classes you take in school. Most you don't use again but learning about them gives you a broader view on what you can do in later life. No I am not talking about becoming a personal trainer, I am talking about hobbies etc. Many people read poetry because they enjoy it...

    Incest?

    I have to say no. Not for medical reasons just because the idea repulses me and i am a generally live and let live kinda guy i.e what ever you get up to on your own time is your business once you are not hurting anyone else. The thought of it just seems so wrong to me. I am close to my...
