Firewall's up and running, MAC filtering is in place, and WEP is now functioning as well. My new WiFi network is all set. The quirk with Apple's Airport is a fairly minor one: it's just that, when you connect to the router, you have to put a dollar sign in front of the password. I don't know why this is necessary, but since the password is saved in my keychain, it's something I only have to deal with whenever I change the password, not every time I reconnect.
All told, the setup of the WiFi router was quite smooth and painless, with WEP being the only real stumbling block... and at that, the stumbling was caused by a combination of Apple's quirky treatment of third-party WiFi routers and my lack of experience with WiFi in the first place. Considering that the main reason I did this was to get the experience, I can live with that.
Posted by Zathras at July 19, 2003 11:52 PMI still can't believe she-bop was about female masterbation. Of course, I used to think the song "I Touch Myself" was about being "touched".
Posted by: Shaw at July 20, 2003 05:25 PMWell, Annie Lennox sings:
"We know sisters are doing it for themselves.
Standing on their own two feet,
Ringing on their own bells."
I would think standing up to do it would be kind of uncomfortable... ;)
Posted by: Matt at July 21, 2003 02:22 AMI dunno - never asked any 'un if it was or not.
Posted by: Shaw at July 21, 2003 06:51 PMWhy would you think it would be uncomfortable?
Posted by: Sparrow at July 22, 2003 03:47 PMWell, for a man, it can take very little time to orgasm. Women, on the other hand, usually take substantially longer, and can have multiples, which means standing up for anywhere between 5 minutes and a half an hour or more.
Would standing for that long be uncomfortable? I think so, and the discomfort would probably be distracting and retard the speed of the 'conclusion', taking even longer.
Posted by: Matt at July 22, 2003 05:56 PMOf course, a woman can do a "When Harry Met Sally" and fake the whole thing...most women do from what I understand
Posted by: Shaw at July 22, 2003 06:33 PMExcept for the few guys out there that take several hours, and the women that can come quickly/often...and both can be problematic in any position! :p
With rare exception, from what I've heard (and experienced) the woman doesn't have to fake anything if 1) she knows what will make her orgasm from experience, 2) she's willing to speak up, 3) her partner is wiling to do what's necessary. :)
Posted by: Moggy at July 22, 2003 06:44 PMSpeak up or shout out? Why problematic?
Now it's a friggin' Dr. Ruth board...all of this thanx to Cyndi Lauper
Posted by: Shaw at July 22, 2003 08:10 PMWell, I mean that if the woman doesn't speak up about what she wants, obviously she's not likely to get it. (Unless the partner in question is the sort that studies literally everything, including how to sexually please partners...but afaik, that's not something people usually do.)
Posted by: Moggy at July 22, 2003 08:17 PM"The Playboy Advisor" is usually pretty handy for that...
Posted by: Shaw at July 22, 2003 11:03 PMA. Why would a woman fake an orgasm while masturbating unless she had an audience?
B. Every person is different. That said, I've never had a girlfriend that took a half hour to orgasm. There's no way I'd kneel in the shower that long. I've never had a girlfriend that took longer than five minutes tops to get there.
C. It takes you half an hour to get her there? Need a few tips? *evil grin*
*ducking, running, hiding*
Posted by: Sparrow at July 23, 2003 03:14 AMHalf an hour if you do it right - if you come right to the edge and drop back you can go for as long as you want to - see "ESO - Extended Sexual Orgasm" by Brauer and Brauer.

The Playboy Advisor?? They have a really warped sense of humor - apart from most of it being made up, about 20 years ago someone complained his girlfriend was bored. They told the guy the way to liven up his love life was to secretly put an ice cube in his mouth, and pop it into his girlfriend's bodypart as a 'surprise'. I'd be surprised if he got out of rehab in under a year... :)
Posted by: Matt at July 23, 2003 11:00 PMQuiet in here - I guess I went too far - sorry... :(
Posted by: Matt at July 25, 2003 02:33 PMI've read ESO. I've used those techniques intuitively since before I read ISO. I can also masturbate standing up and orgasm in half a minute.
Just because I enjoy gourmet food doesn't mean I don't enjoy a Big Mac, too.
Sex is not a one-size-fits-all-people/occasions.
Posted by: Sparrow at July 27, 2003 12:32 AMLook!!! It's Parrish's Great Painting: "Cow Eating Grass!" Except the grass has already been eaten and...aw, you know the rest.
Posted by: Shaw at July 27, 2003 09:52 PMTonight I found the WORST 80's band name:
CHILLIWACK
Can anyone use "Chilliwack" as a verb in a sentence?
Posted by: Shaw at July 28, 2003 01:03 AM*looks at the expanse of white*
*shouts "Hey Parrish!" to hear the echo*
Chilliwack as a verb? It sounds more like a noun/euphemism to me. Like, "hey, baby, you wanna come to my place and chilliwack?" Though I guess that "oooh, chilliwack me, harder!" would also work. Rather versatile little word. *snicker*
Though "I'm not going to chilliwack Parrish on the living room floor even if he begs next time I visit, if he doesn't start updating his blog!" kinda sounds good. *grin*
