Sorenson Countersues Apple

pinqkandi writes "MacCentral is reporting that Sorenson Media is countersuing Apple over a lawsuit Apple initiated in April claiming they have exclusive rights to Sorenson's codec. Sorenson, claiming Apple's lawsuit against them has severly hurt business, is seeking judgement against Apple in compensation. Apple originally brought on their lawsuit when Sorenson teamed up with Macromedia for Flash MX. Looks like good old Steve is back to his old self :-)"

    Attention Slashdot subscribers: As you probably know VA Software, the company that runs Slashdot, is in financial trouble. Their stock price has been in the doldrums for months and they will soon be removed from the NASDAQ. We have it on good information that VA's board have now given up hope of saving the company and will declare it bankrupt in mid-August. At that point the company's remaining cash will either go to paying its debts or returned to shareholders, that includes YOUR subscription money.

    Our recommendation: If you are thinking of taking out a subscription to slashdot, don't bother. If you already have a subscription then it may be possible to save some of your money, email CmdrTaco or one of the other site janitors and ask to cancel it. Do this as soon as possible.

    Slashdot is using censorship! It is trying to eridicate free and open discussion like we know slashdot to be, it has the following RESTRICTIONS in place to Censor you

    They claim they don't, but they do, wonder why their are so many trolls, crapflooders and lamers on slashdot, because they are fighting for their rights! Slashdot is trying to silence the trolls. Remove the filters, the trolls get bored, and slashdot will be troll free!
    • Lameness filters (It blocks a lot of legitmate posts)
    • Unnessary posting delays. Hasnt taco learned to touch type? A lot of posts are typed in less than 20 seconds and it is a ANNOYING DELAY! 2 minute ban? Come on, so some are faster then others, big deal, some people have more to say than others
    • Broken moderation system, The whole point is to sort the gems from the crap, yet a lot of posts designed to make a LIVELY DISCUSSION are MODERATED as flamebait! Come on, not everyone likes X, but just because some one bashes it dosent mean its Flamebait. Flame bait is more useful for DIRECT INSULTS and not legitmate discussions.
    The "troll" moderation reason is fragmented and broken, why? Because they are trying to use an obsolete usenet term on a realtime discussion, "trolls" can cover a huge blanket of ideas.
    • Crapfloods, a meaningless flood of random letters or text, which the lameness filter does a crappy job at trying to stop, besides trolls have written tools using the opensource slashcode to generate crapfloods which bypass the filter
    • Links to offensive websites, the most common one is known a http://www.goatse.cx, a awful site which shows a bleeding anus being stretched on the front page. Trolls sneak these links in by posting messages that look legitimate, but infact are sneaky redirects to the site. Common examples include rd.yahoo.com, www.linux-kernel.tk, goatsex.cjb.net, and googles "Im feeling lucky".
    • Trying to break slashdot, this is actually a good thing, as it helps test slashdot for bugs. Famous examples include the goatse.cx javascript pop-up, the pagewidening post and the browser crashing post!
    Subnet banning, this bans a user unless they email jamie macarthy with their mp5ed ipids. This is unfair, and banning a subnet BLOCKS A WHOLE ISP SOMETIMES, and not that individual user! This can cause chaos! But real trolls use annoymous proxys to get around this so THIS JUST BANS LEGITMATE USERS! Also, they are trying to censor some anoymous proxies, mainly from countrys like africa, so this yet more DISCRIMINATION!

    But, the issue that concerens us the most, is the COMMENT QUOTA. A discrimatory system that stiffles discussion, cripples the community and will ultimateley destroy slashdot unless it is removed! Annoymous cowards are allowed only 10 posts a day! This is unethical! Users with negative karma only get two! That is DISCRIMINATION! How would you like to only be able to speak once a day, just because of the color of your skin. That would be racism, and slashdot is discrimitating on people just because of a negative number in a database! BOYCOTT SLASHDOT! LET THEM DIE!

    Please read this Jamie. You need improvement.

    LESSON ONE

    I am not sure if it was because I grew up in a household with
    brothers or whether I would have had the same feelings and
    inclinations had I been an only child but I do know that from the
    time of my earliest memories I have been fascinated with penises.
    Let's talk about the "basic penis." I regard oral sex as the
    highest form of expression of love that can be exchanged between
    two people. Hopefully this information will help you to break down
    any barriers which you might have that would prevent you from
    expressing your love in this way and from receiving a
    reciprocation from your male companion.
    First things first. LOOK at the cock. I do not mean a
    cursory glance not a hurried, surreptitious examination. Take
    enough time that you convince your companion that some kind of
    treat is in store for him provided he will allow you to do with
    him, and particularly with his cock, exactly what you want.
    Place him flat on his back on your bed, in a well lighted
    room. Take his cock in your hand and LOOK at it. He probably will
    not have the will power to stay soft, but then again you are
    worshipping his very essence. Few men can stay soft under these
    circumstances, when it is apparent that the person LOOKING at his
    cock is worshipping.
    When you first start to touch him, his cock will become hard
    and be in a state where your examination will be meaningful.
    Wouldn't it be nice if going to the doctor for an examination was
    as enriching?
    The cock must be hard if you are to be able to note the
    important parts-those parts sensitive to stimulation by your lips
    and tongue.
    The first thing you will note is whether or not he is
    circumcised. Circumcision is not universally practiced: there are
    advantages and disadvantages to penises in both conditions from
    the standpoint of providing oral caresses that bring the highest
    kind of delight to your man.
    Next take a close look at the shaft of the penis itself.
    There is a bulbous part of the organ near the outer end, slightly
    larger in diameter than the shaft, which is often called the head.
    Technically this is the glans penis (comes from the Latin glans
    which means acorn. Look at it closely; does kind of look like an
    acorn doesn't it?)
    The outside perimeter of the glans penis is the corona. This
    joins the head to the shaft. This is the most sensitive spot on
    the penis. It is toward this ridge that you will direct most of
    your attention when you are giving head. Follow this ridge around
    to the underside of the penis. You know that I like to call it the
    underbelly. I am particularly fond of the underbelly!
    You will notice a point of juncture where the two ends of
    this irregular circle come together. If your partner is not
    circumcised, this will also be the point where the foreskin is
    attached. This tiny area is easily the most sensitive spot on his
    entire body, and it is possible to bring your partner to climax
    simply by gently tapping the tip of your tongue directly on it.
    Spend time caressing the glans and those areas immediately
    surrounding it.
    Beneath the glans is the shaft of the penis. The shaft does
    not have many nerve endings and does not, therefore, provide a man
    with any high degree of stimulation when caressed either manually
    or with your tongue to the exclusion of the glans penis itself.
    It always amazes me to note the number of confirmed cocksuckers
    who believe that sucking up and down on the shaft will get the guy
    off. That's not it folks! If it works it is because the back of
    your throat is playing tricks on his glans penis. Your throat is
    giving head to his head!
    Beneath the shaft are the testicles (balls, jewels, call
    them what you like, but let's not ignore their significance). The
    testicles are extremely sensitive to pain and are not usually
    considered subject to erotic stimulation to any particular degree.
    Not true! You can add a high degree of pleasure for him by paying
    the right kind of attention to the balls!
    Now lets go back to the shaft of the matter. The opening in
    the tip of the glans penis is the meatus. Here is where the cum
    spurts. (I could have said semen is ejaculated but I did not want
    to sound too professional).
    There are other parts of a man's body which respond with
    alacrity to oral stimulation.
    Many men are particularly sensitive around the nipples. The
    first time I kissed my partner's nipples he shot before I had the
    chance to even get near his cock. While I have not been able to
    duplicate this in the laboratory setting (he hates to go near the
    lab with me) my partner still gets extremely turned on by my
    lingual nipple caresses.
    So LOOK at your partner's penis. Study it. Learn its areas
    of special sensitivity completely and be ready to apply your
    knowledge to his body with your tongue and with your lips when you
    bend your loving head over his cock. There is nothing that you can
    do which more clearly shows your love for him than the worship you
    can provide his cock!

    LESSON TWO

    The sad fact is that most people, men and women, do not have
    the slightest idea of how to suck cock. Most seem to think that
    simply by making a cunt of their mouth, closing it around a man's
    penis, and bobbing their heads lustily up and down until he
    climaxes automatically makes them expert cocksuckers. Au
    contraire!
    Consummate skill is required to suck a man's cock and
    provide him with the highest degree of pleasure possible. When I
    first started my quest I really had no one to turn to for advise
    and counsel. It was all hunt and suck. Hunt and suck. Find that
    one technique that could and would set him on fire! I had to
    learn from my experiences and while I would not want to deny you
    the innate pleasure that these experiences will bring I would hate
    to see you lose a great companion because of your inexperience and
    lack of expertise.
    Let's assume that you have taken that opportunity to LOOK at
    his penis. To explore each area of the penis to find the most
    sensitive parts. That you have gotten beyond "Parts is parts" and
    recognize that some parts are more equal than others.
    In order for you to observe your man's reactions and get the
    most information possible about his responses try the following:
    While his erect penis points toward the ceiling, cup his
    balls in one hand and gently, using only your tongue, lick softly,
    but carefully along the entire underside of his erect organ. As
    you suck along the underbelly you will learn those areas that give
    him the greatest pleasure when your tongue is touching them.
    Unless he is made of stone, your partner will provide you with
    vivid clues as to which areas are most pleasurable.
    As you discover these areas of enhanced pleasure concentrate
    on them. For most men the most sensitive area will be the point
    where the ring (or corona) of the head and the foreskin are
    attached. Or were attached prior to his circumcision. By
    continued licking and tapping along this area with your tongue you
    are going to bring forth a geyser. If you are not skilled and you
    want to please him in a hurry I suggest that you get him off in
    this manner in order to become familiar at first hand with the
    nature and delight of his climax.
    As he is getting ready for climax you will note changes in
    his penis. These signs will be the same every time he climaxes so
    that you can prepare for his cum properly. The head of the cock
    may swell somewhat larger then it is during the normal course of
    his erection. He may thrust his hips forward as he wants to send
    his
    body hurtling out his cock with his cum. And for most men,
    immediately prior to the cum, there will appear at the tiny,
    lovely lips at the tip of the cock a clear drop or two of fluid.
    When you see this or feel the opening at the meateus through his
    condom you know that the moment of truth is at hand. Launch the
    torpedoes, full cum ahead!
    Where should you be when you are sucking his cock? Between
    his legs, on top of him, in a sixty nine position? Where?
    Because of the structure of his penis, as well as the structure of
    your mouth, lips, tongue, and teeth, you can provide the highest
    degree of sensation to yourself and your partner by kneeling
    between his legs and approaching his cock from the bottom rather
    than from the side or the top. Don't believe me? Try the various
    positions (I describe in later chapters techniques to be used with
    each position). See what works best for you and your partner.

    LESSON THREE

    Place his stiff cock inside your mouth but do not tighten
    your lips around the shaft. With your head begin a circle motion.
    The cock will slide to different places in your mouth as you
    continue the circle motion. Watch your teeth on this one. A
    kneeling position will suffice but it is also effective when your
    partner is on his back and your head is directly over his cock.
    The circle should be executed in both clockwise and
    counterclockwise motions in a slow purposeful manner. I found many
    guys in New York who seem to prefer this technique above all
    others. I met one guy who could circle a cock for hours and I
    found myself having multiple orgasms while his mouth circled my
    cock. I didn't lose my hard-on after each cum. When the technique
    is performed correctly it means many hours of unadulterated
    pleasure.

    LESSON FOUR

    With your man sitting in an elevated position and you on
    your knees in front of him lift his hard cock to reveal his balls.
    With your tongue find the underside of his balls. Now, while
    resting his balls on your wet tongue, lick in an upward motion to
    the very tip of his cock. It is permissible to use your hands in
    this technique. It is bettor to do this technique several times
    in succession-like licking a lollipop or ice cream cone. I grew up
    down south. And one thing about.southern boys. We learn early how
    to get if off quickly when the need is there. And the lollipop
    lick is the one technique in this book which few men can tolerate
    for long periods of time without cumming.

    LESSON FIVE

    Right now lets discuss a technique that is probably the
    most common cocksucking technique in the world. Take his cock in
    your mouth but not deeply. We will get to deep throating later
    on. It's great, not over-rated, but if you want to be an expert
    at deep throat start with the right techniques and work your way
    down, so to speak.
    Take his cock in your mouth by sliding your moistened tongue
    lovingly over the head until your lips close around the shaft at
    the point just behind the corona. Don't just open your mouth and
    close it around his cock. Slide it in. He will enjoy it much more.
    Encase the shaft of his penis with your hand. Remember the
    shaft is relatively insensitive to any kind of stimulation. By
    enclosing his penis with your hand you give him the sensation of
    having his penis encased.
    Now you have several options. Try twisting your head from
    side to side making sure your moist lips stay in contact with the
    coronal ridge. While doing this gently move your hand up and down
    the shaft. When he climaxes he may want to push your head further
    down the shaft of his penis. He wants to envelop you with his
    cock. As you are learning his climax you will miss the fine points
    if you deep throat at this time. Instead gently suck around the
    corona as he climaxes so that you can intensify his pleasure and
    increase the force of his orgasm.
    As you gain more experience you will be able to tell exactly
    when his climax is approaching and you will be ready for that
    initial spurt out the rubber.

    LESSON SIX

    There is one further refinement to this basic technique
    which will heighten his orgasm. If you place your thumb at the
    very base of the penis in such a way as to block the tube through
    which the cum spurts, the semen cannot escape even though he is
    spasming and going through the reflex action of ejaculating semen.
    If at the same time you suck vigorously on the head of his
    cock you can delay his cum for several long moments. When you
    finally allow the cum to spurt it will last much longer and be
    just as intense as a result. Even though you delay the cum for
    only a few short moments you will be surprised by the intensity of
    his cum.
    These techniques are the basis of cocksucking. Do not go
    beyond them until you have become an expert, not only in the
    techniques themselves, but also in the reading and interpreting of
    your partner's responses to such a point that you know exactly how
    he is getting off on what you are doing. When you have reached
    this point, you are ready for the more subtle, more advanced
    techniques.
    Don't be so slavish that you miss out on the fun of self
    discovery. Find out what works for you and for your partner and
    make your cocksucking as individual as your signature. After all,
    you want your man to pick you out in the dark among hundred
    slobbering cocksuckers.

    LESSON SEVEN

    One of the first things you encountered when you first
    started to suck cock was a gag reflex. Most men seem to want to
    force their cocks down your throat as far as they can get it.
    Particularly at the moment when they cum!
    Consider for a moment that the average length of your oral
    cavity is three to three and a half inches while the average
    Caucasian cock length is five to five and a half inches. The laws
    of nature would seem to dictate that getting all that cock into
    your mouth is an impossibility.
    It can be done. You probably know someone who can do it and
    that is why you purchased this book to begin with. It is possible
    to master the necessary technique. I don't want to be boring, but
    if you understand your anatomy you will begin to understand the
    requirements that allow you to take his hard cock into your mouth
    and down your throat. The biggest obstacle to taking all of his
    cock down your throat is the fact that there is a bend of almost
    ninety degrees behind your tongue leading down into your throat.
    So the first thing to do is get the cock past that angle.

    Get past the angle of the dangle!

    In order to practice this, get in a position where you can
    turn your head in such a way that your mouth and throat lie almost
    in a straight line. The best position to accomplish this is to lie
    on a bed so that your head is near the edge with your body
    sprawled across the bed so that your head is tipped sharply back.
    This position will put your mouth and throat nearly in a line and
    will allow your partner to approach you in such a way that
    insertion of his cock can be made so deeply that his pubic hair
    presses against your lips.

    LESSON EIGHT

    Today we will practice mastering physical reaction that must
    be alleviated before the art of deep penetration can fully be
    enjoyed. The natural tendency of the body to gag when a foreign
    object such as a deeply thrusting cock being forced down your
    throat. You can overcome this tendency by completely relaxing
    your throat at moment the insertion is made. It is equally
    important that you maintain this relaxation during the entire deep
    throating.
    Let him put his cock down your throat and hold it still
    while you find the most comfortable way to proceed. Because of
    your position you will not be able to move or to offer him any
    greater stimulation than simply keeping your mouth tightly closed
    around his throbbing cock. If you are able try to stimulate his
    underbelly with your tongue, do it!
    You will only be able to relax and take his cock in this way
    if you completely thrust your partner. Your partner is in full
    control. He must initiate and maintain all the motion. This is
    the only exercise in which you relinquish your control of the
    situation to your partner. He will relish this for the simple fact
    that for the first time he can insert his cock as deeply down your
    throat as he wants to. Now your partner begins an in and out
    movement that is just like fucking. He should start slowly,
    especially if this is a completely
    new experience for the two of you. After all if he hurts you he
    cuts himself off from one of the great pleasures in life. His
    only other requirement during this exercise is to keep the motion
    in the same direction throughout this oral exercise as there is
    simply no leeway for him to vary the motion from side to side.

    One other word of caution.

    Don't let your partner get carried away at the moment he
    starts to cum. At that spectacular moment he will be able for the
    first time to thrust his cock all the way inside your oral cavity
    and that is the most important lesson of this exercise! His only
    other requirement during the exercise is to keep the motion in the
    same against your lips as he cums. Because of your position in
    bed you will not be faced with the problem of swallowing his cum.
    And this is not just because he has a condom on his dick. The
    reason is because he has gotten his cock BEYOND your gag reflex!
    Without the rubber his cum would shoot directly into your stomach!
    If both you and your partner understand what it is that you are
    trying to do as well as the possible problems that may "cum" up
    along the way no harm or discomfort will happen to either of you.
    It is possible that not everyone will learn the "deep
    throat" technique but this inability does not make you any less a
    cocksucker. You must allow your throat to relax completely while
    your partner is thrusting his cock this deeply down your throat.
    To do this long enough for your partner to completely get it off
    is very difficult and may require practice beyond this day. It
    may be that you will be able to take your partner completely down
    your throat, but you will not be able to maintain proper
    relaxation of your throat to until he shoots his load. Hopefully
    your partner will understand that this is not a rejection of him
    or of what he is offering you, and it is my sincere desire that
    you not stop here and think that you will never master the "deep
    throat" technique.
    Continue to practice this lesson. I know couples who have
    devoted ten months to this lesson alone. Continue to practice
    this technique because your practice will allow you to take his
    cock deeper into your throat each time and for longer periods of
    time. Ultimately you will succeed. If you have the desire you
    will get this one down pat!

    LESSON NINE

    Now lets turn to another portion of your partner's anatomy
    which should not be ignored-the family jewels. Here are two
    objects which can enhance your partner's feelings more than any
    other. Many people do not think of the balls as primary sexual
    objects. Many men are extremely sensitive and just as in lesson
    eight there must be a certain amount of trust built up between the
    two of you before he will willingly let you have undisputed use of
    these two pearls of delight!
    For today's lesson begin by gently licking his balls with
    your tongue. As your partner becomes more trusting you may begin
    to play with his nipples with your fingers gradually increasing or
    decreasing the intensity as you gauge how he is responding. You
    may want to gently caress his cock with your hand while you are
    bathing his balls with your tongue.
    Remember that the balls are extremely sensitive to pain and
    he will lose his trust in you if you do not respect any limits he
    places on them just as you have the right to place limits on the
    back of your throat until you are completely ready to receive him.
    It is possible once you have built up this trust to take
    both his balls in your mouth. He will be more receptive to this if
    you thoroughly wet them with your tongue prior to taking them into
    your mouth. Unless your partner is into the new fad of complete
    body shaving he will have tiny hairs on his testicles. By giving
    the balls a complete tongue bath prior to taking them into your
    mouth, you will have pressed these hairs down along the surface of
    the sac and will not inadvertently cause pain by pulling on them.
    This may seem a small lesson but you will discover an
    entirely new world of sensations for your partner when you take
    the time to get to know his testicles!

    LESSON TEN

    I hesitated to include this into your lesson plan but
    finally I decided that if you are aware of the most safe way to do
    this technique that my responsibility for giving you the tools to
    be the best cocksucker you can be will be satisfied.

    Analingus.
    Putting your tongue to his anal opening.
    Ass sucking.
    Before you even consider doing this, make certain that your
    partner is clean. Immediately out of the shower. Place a piece of
    Saran wrap over the butt. At no time should your tongue come into
    contact with the anal surface itself.
    For this lesson place your partner on his back with his legs
    in the air and his knees close to his shoulders. This spreads his
    buttocks apart and allows you access to his butthole.
    You are probably under the impression that actual
    penetration of the asshole itself is necessary for your partner to
    receive the most complete enjoyment of this technique. Not so
    mojo! The nerve endings around the anus itself have no
    discrimination and you will get him off just as well and as
    thoroughly by licking around the area as if you stick your tongue
    up his butt!
    As with some of your other lessons this technique will not
    usually be enough to get him to cum, but I feel that it is
    important to know all aspects of your partner's body in order to
    give him the most complete pleasure you can. You may find that
    after many hours of oral pleasure you need to have other areas to
    concentrate on in order to give him the satisfaction he deserves.
    Analingus is a powerful stimulant and when combined with
    other activities such as vigorous hand stimulation on his cock
    will cause a rapid and powerful cum!

    LESSON ELEVEN

    For most of our lessons the only thing required is yourself,
    your partner, and a condom. Maybe some Saran wrap. A plastic glove
    or two. Well, another toy that will enhance your pleasure is a
    mini-
    vibrator. For this lesson you may want to start with your finger.
    Then as you and your partner become more accustomed to each other
    you may find him a little intrigued about the vibrator and what it
    can do for him.
    As you are giving head begin a slow playful search around
    his
    ass. Many men are particularly sensitive in this area and it will
    enhance the sensations that your mouth and tongue and throat are
    giving his cock to feel a finger playing with his butt. As your
    partner relaxes and allows you access, gently insert your gloved
    finger into his butt. Go slowly exploring the velvety sensations
    along the sides of his opening.
    When your finger is inside his asshole completely you will
    be at the area of the prostate gland. Massage of this gland by
    your finger will produce some of the most delightful sensations
    your partner has yet to experience. I remember going to the
    doctor for a physical the first time I felt this sensation. I
    could hardly wait to get home and have my partner try it out on me
    again. While it was a bit embarrassing to cum in the doctor's
    office, the feelings that the doctor inadvertently produced were
    so strong that I wanted to experience them again and again!
    A gloved finger is really all that is required for this
    lesson. However some members of the Cocksuckers Club of America
    report to me that a mini-vibrator works exceptionally well for
    this type of stimulus. It is just the same length as the average
    finger and due to the vibrations that it produces the sensations
    against the prostate gland are even more enhanced!
    If your partner likes this stimulation you must then
    discover which method he likes best. Some men prefer an in an out
    movement with the finger or the vibrator while others do not. I
    personally find this painful--too much like a stab in the dark. I
    prefer the finger or vibrator to be placed against the prostate
    gland and left there to do its most. Whichever method your partner
    prefers is the one you should use.
    One other point. When your partner cums there will be a
    natural tendency for him to push the finger or vibrator out of his
    asshole. The asshole muscles are spasming and anything in the way
    will be forced out. But to maximize his pleasure you must not let
    this happen. Hold your finger or the vibrator firmly in place--
    this will help to stimulate the sperm production to its maximum.
    Many people have questioned me about a vibrator around the
    cock itself. Does it add to the sensation or not?
    It does for my partner, it does not for me. That seems to be
    the consensus of opinion of other readers of FRENCH CUISINE
    MAGAZINE as well. I suggest as long as you have the vibrator handy
    anyway, try it around the penis. When you are licking his balls.
    When you are licking his asshole. If he gets off on it, then feel
    free to use the vibrator around his dick and balls. If he hates
    the sensation obviously don't try it again.

    LESSON TWELVE

    There are times when you will want to get him off in a
    hurry! I always say that Southern boys learn this one first and
    then expand their repertory from that point. But because I want
    you to become an expert at all aspects of oral lovemaking I
    deliberately waited until now to introduce this technique. It
    differs from lesson four in that you are a more consummate
    cocksucker now. He will love it all the more if he realizes that
    this is not the only trick you have down your mouth!
    It is a very simple technique and if you understand your
    partner's basic cock anatomy you will grasp this one easily.
    Place your lips around the head of your partner's cock and twirl
    your lips wetly and gently around the coronal ridge at the back of
    the head of his penis. This does not require any great
    cocksucking skill and it works simply because this is the area
    that is most sensitive on your partner's cock.
    It is not necessary to be a skillful cocksucker. All that
    is necessary is for you to find the most sensitive area around the
    coronal area. By sucking on this area of his cock continuously
    you will produce a quick powerful cum. It is not necessary to bob
    your head up and down on his cock to get him off. One other use
    of this technique is to get him hard again after he cums and you
    will soon find him rip roaring to go
    again.

    LESSON THIRTEEN

    Don't be surprised if you find yourself going back to this
    lesson for seconds. We discussed briefly at the end of lesson 12
    a technique to get him going again if he has recently cum. Today
    after you have gotten your man off, lets concentrate on some
    techniques to get him back on again. Not just to get him hard but
    to keep him hard. Hard enough to want to cum again!
    After he has cum you may need other techniques to keep him
    hard and to keep him interested. Many men (not all but a good
    portion of us) are exhausted by a single cum and while it is
    possible to get your partner up again you have a long way to go
    before you get him to cum again.
    Cocksucking alone at this time is usually not enough to get
    him off. You will need to combine some of the techniques you have
    learned earlier with your basic cocksucking technique to stimulate
    the juices for a second and third go around. Don't hesitate in
    your exploration of his body at this time. His nipples, his balls,
    his asshole. His armpits. His earlobes.
    For the second cum you are free to really get into his body
    and explore all those erotic areas that you missed when you were
    concentrating on his cock exclusively. His navel. His toes.
    One of the things I find most exciting about the second cum
    is the lack of expectation that you must get him to climax within
    a certain time frame. You have all the time in the world to
    really give his total body a complete tongue bath. You can
    explore his body safely and completely and really get to know the
    total body as well as you know his delightful dick! This is
    merely a sign that you are becoming a true connoisseur of
    cockflesh. A title I am proud to hold.

    LESSON FOURTEEN

    Soixante-Neuf
    Sixty Nine

    Sixty nine is not always the perfect way to provide your
    partner oral satisfaction. Inadvertently one of you will "let up"
    your end of the cocksucking in order to experience the subtle
    pleasures the other partner is giving you. For this reason I have
    included it as the final lesson. Many people think that the deep
    throat technique is the ultimate pleasure you can give your
    partner. Actually I believe that sixty-nine is the ultimate
    pleasure.
    Done correctly and unselfishly when both of you are
    completely in tune with each others innermost desires, the sixty
    nine is the ultimate. But because of the problem mentioned earlier
    in this lesson, most people practice it too early and it becomes
    an intensely satisfying experience for one partner at the expense
    of the other. When you are completely on each other's wavelength
    you will discover that this is the most effective way of giving as
    well as receiving pleasure.
    The element that must be in place is simple: Both of you
    must
    be consummate cocksuckers! If you have a partner who is not in
    the least interested in giving head and only likes to receive it
    then to attempt sixty-nine is to ask for unhappiness in your
    relationship.

    TECHNIQUES

    As editor of FRENCH CUISINE MAGAZINE I sometimes send out
    questionnaires to our members to find out more. I question them
    about their desires, and their favorite ways to practice safe and
    sane oral sex
    Here are some of the most popular variations on cocksucking.

    THE BUTTERFLY FLUTTER

    The best position for this very sensuous cocksucking
    movement is kneeling over your partner. If he is on his back kneel
    between his legs. Or kneel in front of your partner while he
    stands. I like this position because the cock feels thicker in
    your mouth and throat and you have complete freedom to play with
    his balls while performing this maneuver.
    This technique was first introduced to me by a cocksucker in
    northern California. There was a notorious movie theater in
    downtown San Francisco with a darkened balcony. A cocksucker's
    haven. And this guy had us lined up. You knew from the moans
    emanating from the guy's throat who was getting his cock sucked
    that this guy was that one in a thousand who knew how to please a
    variety of fresh cockmeat. It felt so good that I studied him
    closely while he was sucking cock. Not only did I observe the guys
    who were getting the radical suck, but I got down close to the
    cock and observed how he was maneuvering around it. He created the
    basic vacuum pressure on the cock but only enough pressure to pull
    the cock into his mouth ever so slightly.
    With his lips firmly wrapped around the guy's big swollen
    cock head and shaft he would gently flick the tip of the cock with
    his tongue. With his lips open around the cock at a depth so that
    he could touch the tip of the cock with the tip of his tongue.
    With his lips around the cock shaft he would make an up and down
    movement with his tongue. He would flutter his tongue up and down
    the tip of the cock.
    I recommend you try it. It will drive your Butterfly Flutter
    partner back into your mouth at any hour you want him there. After
    several minutes of this continue with the basic vacuum suck.

    THE TRAVELING FIGURE EIGHT

    After you have become comfortable with the basic vacuum suck
    and you have become accustomed to his cock deep in your mouth and
    throat try this action. It is guaranteed to take his
    breath away. With your lips firmly wrapped around the cock shaft
    try very slowly to reach the base of the shaft or as close to it
    as you are comfortable. Your nose should be buried in or at least
    touching the pubic hairs at the base of the cock.
    With your nose trace a figure eight as if the figure eight
    were lying on it's side. Your figure eight motion should be three
    to four inches long. Slowly travel up the shaft of the cock to
    the head, doing the figure eight motion. Keep doing this motion
    and let your lips firmly travel up and down the cock shaft. Do
    this for as long as you are comfortable with it. Believe me your
    man is floating in orbit as his wildest dreams of the ultimate
    blow job are coming true.
    I give credit for this most erogenous technique to a member
    of "The Cocksuckers Club of America" who lives in Oregon. He and
    his partner were on vacation down in Southern California and they
    visited me while here. After seeing him scrape his partner off the
    ceiling when he did the Traveling Figure Eight, I rushed right
    into my bedroom and perfected it on my own partner! When you get
    tired of the movement slow down and return to the basic vacuum
    suck.

    By this time you are becoming more and more confident with
    your partner. His cock feels great as it fills your mouth and
    throat. The cock is becoming harder and warmer as your warm moist
    mouth and throat create friction by going up and down that big
    beautiful cock. It is time to cool his tool just a little with
    this technique.
    I take full credit for this one myself! From tho time I hit
    puberty I was fascinated by cocks. Big ones, little ones, cut
    ones, uncut ones, crooked ones, straight ones. All shapes, all
    sizes. I wanted to feel them down my throat! Combine this very
    basic love of cocksucking with an inherent fear of not being able
    to take cock and completely satisfy the customer and you can
    imagine how I felt. I needed a technique that would feel good in
    my mouth and would feel good for my partner. Here's what I came up
    with:

    Go down on the cock shaft as far as you are comfortable. All
    the while your lips should be firmly wrapped around the shaft.
    Open your mouth as wide as you can and suck in as much air as your
    lungs will hold. While sucking in air let your open mouth travel
    up to the cock head. Your up stroke motion should end at the head
    of his cock just as your lungs fill with air. Now with your mouth
    still open let the air in your lungs out slowly through your mouth
    as your opened mouth travels back down the cock shaft. This
    technique cools the cock on the up stoke and warms the cock with
    your hot breath on the down stroke. Do this movement as long as
    you like then return to the basic vacuum suck method.

    CONGRATULATIONS!

    You are doing just fine and he loves it!

    Keep it up as long as you are comfortable with it.

    For his added pleasure and to give you something to play
    with reach up and fondle his balls. Or go up even further and
    play with his nipples. This will give him something else to
    concentrated on so he doesn't pop his cock yet. If you feel he is
    about to cum stop what you are doing and let him cool off for a
    few minutes. After all you are having fun and you want to enjoy
    his cock as much as you can until you get tired of it. Then let
    him pop his cock! But not yet. He likes it too much and he wants
    it to last as long as you can keep it going.

    THE CIRCLE

    Place his stiff cock inside your mouth but do not tighten
    your lips around the shaft. With your head begin a circle motion.
    The cock will slide to different places in your mouth as you
    continue the circle motion. Watch your teeth on this one.
    A kneeling position will suffice but it is also effective
    when your partner is on his back and your head is directly over
    his cock. The circle should be executed in both clockwise and
    counterclockwise motions in a slow purposeful manner.

    THE LOLLIPOP LICK

    With your man sitting in an elevated position and you on
    your knees in front lift his hard cock to reveal his balls. With
    your tongue find the underside of his balls. Now, while resting
    his balls on your wet tongue, lick in an upward motion to the very
    tip of his cock. It is permissible to use your hands in this
    technique. It is better to do this technique several times in
    succession-like licking a lollipop or ice cream cone.
