  2. [xdfgf] Porn: Dog Sex by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yesterday, I took one of the biggest risks I'd ever taken as a zoo, but the
    reward was worth it. It started when I had to deliver some stuff over to a
    friends house. He has no idea of my zoo life and I pretty much know that
    he'd freak if he ever found out. I loaded up my station wagon and I started
    out for his home. On the way there, He called me on my cell to let me know
    that he was stuck in a meeting, but that I should just drop off the things
    in the garage. I asked him if he wasn't worried about leaving the stuff out
    there like that, but he assured me that no one comes into his yard because
    of his dog, Jedi.

    I arrived at his house and was greeted at the gate by his beautiful
    Rotweiler. He had gone out of his way to import one of the English breed
    ones. Anyone who has never seen an English Rotweiler can have no idea of
    how HUGE these dogs can get. Jedi knew me, so it wasn't a problem. In fact,
    he had a tendency to want to play most of the time. I opened the gate, at
    which point he promptly jumped on me and almost knocked me to the
    ground. After giving him the requisite ear scratch he demanded, he got down
    and let me back into the yard and close the gate. I opened the trunk and
    started unloading the stuff, all the while watched by Jedi. As time went
    by, I realised I was continuously glancing down at his sheath and his cock
    and I realised that I was actually starting to wonder what it would be like
    to get fucked by him.

    I was so busy watching him that I dropped some stuff on the ground. As I
    went down to get it, Jedi jumped on me and started to wrestle with me,
    thinking I was playing with him. This turned me on instantly. Before I
    could even think about what I was doing, I unbuckled my belt, pulled my
    pants down and off, and continued to wrestle with him. By this time, I had
    a raging harden. At one point, his nose brushed past my cock and he started
    to sniff it. Then heaven. He licked the head of my cock. It kneeled there
    and let him lick my cock for about ten seconds. Then he started to play
    again.

    I immediately got on all fours and turned my back to him. At which point,
    he started to sniff my ass. Then he took a lick. Then another. Then her
    really started to lick me. I could feel his tongue scraping against my
    asshole and it was driving me NUTS! I decided I had to get fucked by this
    dog. I reached back and pulled him on my back. Then I reached back and
    started stroking his sheath. He immediately started humping forward against
    my hand. Then, before I could do anything, he grabbed me with his forelegs
    and humped forward REALLY hard, and managed to push the head of his cock
    into my ass on the first try. The minute his cock went in me he went
    crazy. He grabbed my waist even harder and jumped forward to slam his
    entire cock into my ass. I was in ecstasy. I could only kneel there in
    bliss as Jedi started fucking me up the ass. I could feel every stroke of
    his cock inside me. I could feel his cock swelling in me. In fact, I was so
    lost in it that I forgot about everything. The next thing I knew, his knot
    was in my ass and had started to swell. I tried to push it out, but it had
    gotten to big. Whether I wanted to or not, I was tied to Jedi until he was
    finished fucking me.

    The moment his knot locked in place, he went to town on my ass. Jedi
    started fucking me HARD ! Slamming his cock into me as hard as he could.
    Pushing me forward with the force of his thrusts. Grunting everytime he
    pushed his cock up into me. I could hear him grunting in time with his
    strokes. And I could only grunt and try and hold on as he fucked me in my
    ass. Then, he took one foreleg away from my waist and put it on my
    shoulder. That was the greatest. There I was on all fours, Jedi's cock
    locked in my ass as he fucked me as hard as he could, with him holding me
    by the waist with one paw, and the other on my shoulder as if he was trying
    to pull me down on his cock even more as he fucked me. Like a man would
    do. Like a friend had once done when he'd held me by my shoulder and he'd
    fucked me so good and hard I was literally begging for his cock. I loved
    it.

    I started moaning and stroking my cock, all the while pushing my ass back
    to take as much of his cock in my ass as I could and let him fuck me
    hard. All the while, talking to Jedi:

    "Yes, baby. Fuck me. Fuck me with that sweet cock.

    "Push your cock up in me. Slam your cock in me."

    "Fuck your bitch."

    "Fuck me hard!"

    "Harder. Harder! HARDER!!!

    "FUCK me with that cock..FUCK that cock into me..."

    "Oh god...yes..I love your cock. Push your cock in me hard baby. Fuck me
    good. FUCK my ass!"

    All the while, Jedi just kept slamming that sweet cock in my ass. I could
    feel his knot scraping inside me and it was starting to send me over the
    edge. I kept pushing my ass back into him, trying to get him to put as much
    of his cock into he and keep fucking me. All I wanted was more of his
    cock. All of his cock. Every inch of his cock inside me. As deep as he
    could get it. And just keep fucking me. Keep fucking his bitch. Fuck me
    until he could spill his seed inside me and make me his.

    Then, I felt my orgasm build up and I had to bite down not to cry out when
    it hit me. I was moaning and crying and grunting from the force of it. Jedi
    meanwhile didn't care about that. He just kept on fucking me up the ass as
    hard as he could. Even through my orgasm, I could feel his cock pushing up
    inside me and the knot rubbing on the inside of my ass. Then everything
    went blank for a while. The next thing I remember is Jedi slowing down and
    I realised that while I was partially out of it, he had cum and was
    finishing up.

    I waited, and finally, he slowed down and stopped. We stayed that was for
    about 20 seconds, then he started to dismount. I tried to hold him and stop
    him, but I learned an important point. If a hundred pound plus dog wants to
    dismount and turn, there is NOTHING you can do about it when you are tied
    to him. I almost passed out from the pain of the turn, squirming and
    wriggling to try and ease the stress on my asshole. Finally, he turned and
    we were locked together, ass to ass. His cock firmly locked in my ass as he
    continued to pump his sperm into me.

    Thats when I realised how crazy I was. What would I do if my friend decided
    to come home? Suppose someone else, like his girlfriend or mother, decided
    to pay a visit? Not to mention the fact that anyone who seriously looked
    over the gate would almost certainly see us there. I started to panic and
    tried to move myself an Jedi back a little. No way was he having that.
    Every time I tried to move forward, he did so too. And in this contest, he
    was the clear winner. I decided to stop when I realised that all I had
    managed to do was to bring us out from the relative secrecy of behind the
    trunk, to the side of the car where ANYBODY who looked could see us. I
    realise that it was all up to fate and all I could do was wait. It was the
    hardest twenty minutes I've had in a LONG time. Finally, his cock got small
    enough and he slipped out of me. I immediately scuttled back behind the car
    and sat down. A mistake I rectified when my ass informed me of it. I knelt
    there for a while, then decided I had tempted the fates enough. I crouched
    there and put back on my clothes, squeezing my ass to keep his sperm in
    until I could get to the toilet at the side of the house. Which I soon did
    and cleaned myself up.

    I came back out and watched Jedi licking his cock for a while, but decided
    to leave well enough alone. I scratched him by his ear, then went back and
    finished unloading the car. As I was taking the last of the stuff out, I
    saw a car pull up at the gate. Then the gate opened and my friend came
    in. It turned out he was able to leave the meeting early and had decided to
    come and see if I needed some help. After saying a small prayer of thanks
    in my mind, I told him I was okay and I finished up.

    I squirmed my way home and thought about what I had just done. And realised
    how close I had come to losing it. And I vowed never to let something like
    that happen again. At least not unless I was sure not to tie, or that he
    would be caught up for at least an hour. Minimum. Oh, and Jedi? Its amazing
    how happy he is to see me these days. Especially considering how every time
    I bend down around him, I always see the tip of his cock peep out of the
    sheath.

    Ahh. Promises, promises.

  5. [xdfgf] Important penis information by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Here are some basics that the boy in your life would like you to know. Maybe
    it's awkward for him to tell you - maybe there even are some things he
    hasn't discovered yet.

    Let's begin at the end: the glans. This is the very sensitive end, or tip of
    the penis. It's covered by the foreskin in boys who aren't circumcised. The
    glans looks and feels unlike skin on any other part of the body: it is soft,
    squishy, and the home of the most intense and delightful feelings a boy can
    experience. It is so sensitive that the feel of, say, a stream of water from
    a showerhead may be too intense to stand for more than a few seconds. Yet
    for all its sensitivity, stimulating the glans alone usually does not lead
    to orgasm - you need to massage some part of the penis shaft as well.
    This means, if you know what you are doing, that you can give very extended
    pleasure by massaging the glans. It is so soft that unless it and your
    fingers are completely squeaky clean most likely any petting will soon
    become irritating. What your guy really wants is a moist massage, either
    with saliva or another lubricant. The simplest and one of the greatest
    treats you can give him is to moisten your thumb and slowly rub it back and
    forth across the head of his penis.
    You can do this for ten minutes, twenty minutes, and watch him drift into a
    plateau of pleasure, without the tension of an approaching orgasm.
    Of course, you can do the same with your lips, though it is almost
    impossible to resist the temptation to take more of he penis into your mouth
    - and then you're off to the races!
    If you're this close you can see some of the unique geography of the glans.
    First, it has a grain - small ridges that go fore and aft (away from his
    body, rather than side to side). It's usually more comfortable to pet with
    the grain, though if you are using lubrication it doesn't much matter.
    Second, there are distinct regions on the glans: the very tip, around the
    urethra opening ('pee hole'); the twin bulges on the front, separated by a
    small cleft; the broad, flat back; and the flared bluish ring where it
    connects to the penis, called the corona. The most sensitive parts are the
    tip and front. Try gently massaging the front, spending five or ten seconds
    on each side, then switching, then spending an equal time on the very tip.
    The back is the 'grainiest' region and should be petted front to back. The
    tip, just behind the urethra opening, is the best place to get started - a
    very good erection stimulator!

    Notice that all this is about stimulating the skin of the glans. It is a
    soft and delicate region and not meant for deep massaging - too much
    pressure doesn't exactly hurt, but it isn't so delightful, and in fact a
    good squeeze to the glans is one technique for bringing down an erection.
    It really is possible to give very extended pleasure to the glans alone.
    This may be very relaxing for your boy, or it may make him desperate for
    more - it's a matter of mood! Once you do start to involve the rest of the
    penis, things change quite a bit.
    Just below the glans on the penis shaft front is the main action area, the
    part that is most involved with the intense feelings that cause orgasm and
    ejaculation. The penis itself really has two parts, the raised part on the
    front through over the urethra, and everything else (sides and back). While
    we enjoy stimulation to any part of the penis, it's the front that is the
    seat of pleasure. Petting or massaging the back of the penis doesn't do very
    much.
    The top inch of the front of the penis is the trigger, the part that all
    boys first learn to rub when they masturbate, either by an up-and-down
    motion (the veritable "jerking off"), or by rubbing side to side. This part
    of the penis is sensitive to pressure, rather than surface petting. Once a
    boy is fully aroused, even a slight pressure to this part of the penis will
    lead up to orgasm. If you are using your hands or lips on his penis, it's up
    to you to be sensitive to how much stimulation you are applying here, as
    that controls how long the ride will last!
    Pressure to the top front of the penis doesn't have to be applied directly,
    and this is where the rest of the penis gets involved - and a whole lot
    more. Once an erection is full grown, the penis is stretched tight, which
    means any pressure along the front or anything pulling at the base will tug
    on the top part just as surely as if you were massaging that part directly.
    This is something that grows more intense as he comes farther along towards
    orgasm: after a few minutes of stimulation, with his penis rock-hard and
    pumping from within (more on this later), even a small tug on the scrotum at
    the base of the penis can trigger an orgasm.

    If you are using your hands, you can continue to massage the glans while
    stroking or gently rubbing the front of the shaft. Of course, if you are
    using your mouth or taking his penis into your anus, all this happens
    automatically - it's exactly what the penis was designed for, and his whole
    body will get involved to make sure there is an orgasm soon!
    But let's not hurry, please, you have a lot of delightful territory still to
    explore. With his penis at 'full attention' you will learn that what you see
    is only half the story. The shaft of the penis goes equally deep into his
    body, where the right pressure gives long-lasting pleasure without hurrying
    to orgasm.
    Follow the ridge of the urethra down along the front of the penis, to where
    it goes under the scrotum. Massage it from side to side as you move down,
    and feel how his erection really extends several inches below the base of
    the penis, disappearing into his body below the base of the scrotum. Spend a
    few minutes massaging his penis in small circles through the scrotum - once
    he is fully aroused, this is a nice place to spend some time. You will
    eventually get to a point about an inch below the bottom of the scrotum
    where you will feel his penis shaft go 'underground'. Remember this point:
    it's an excellent place to apply pressure during orgasm. At this point you
    have left the soft tissues of the penis and are feeling muscle. You can
    press a lot harder here; a firm push is rewarded by a greater firming of his
    erection and a rush of pleasure along the whole penis.
    If you have a finger still on his glans (or even if you don't), you should
    see a drop of fluid every so often. This is his lubrication, or 'pre-come',
    and - I don't have to tell you this, do I? - should be gently massaged into
    his glans. (Note for the girls: though this isn't semen, it can potentially
    contain sperm, so use whatever precautions are appropriate for full
    intercourse.)

    You have a hand on his scrotum, or 'balls' - another very interesting place!
    The skin of the scrotum is also unique, and quite different from that of the
    penis. It has ridges, odor glands, hair, and is exquisitely sensitive,
    loving to be stroked and tickled. Hiding inside the scrotum (which by now is
    probably firmed up like a little baseball) are the two testicles. At this
    point it is probably wise to ask if he likes to have his balls touched or
    massaged. Although they have a well-earned reputation as the seat of pain in
    the male body, it actually takes quite a bit of pressure to hurt the
    testicles - they are really much more sensitive to impact than to pressure.
    He may find it exciting to have you massage them, or he may hate it. (Note
    to those in long-term relationships, testicle cancer is one of the most
    common cancers in boys and it is very treatable - so check for lumps several
    times a day!).
    If he has never tried it, I strongly recommend removing the hair from the
    scrotum, either by shaving, or plucking. As Dr. Evil (Mike Meyers) said in
    Austin Powers, 'a shorn scrotum is a thing of beauty.' Removing all the hair
    makes the scrotum fantastically soft and much better for petting. Plucking
    is by far the best, taking about half an hour. If you shave, use a sharp
    double-edged blade and do it dry, with baby powder or cornstarch for a
    lubricant. Trim but don't shave the hair at the base of the penis or the top
    of the scrotum, as that is the 'load-bearing' area during intercourse, and
    any prickles will be a serious problem.
    The scrotum is also very temperature-sensitive, acting like a little weather
    station. So are the tissues behind it. Cold, in particular, has a dramatic
    effect, and if he is up for it, you should try pressing ice into the base of
    the scrotum - the sensation is incredible, especially during orgasm.
    Where were we? You have a firm finger below his scrotum, where you can feel
    his penis pump up when he contracts his muscles (there's some Latin name I
    don't remember [pubococcygeus - Ed.]; these are the muscles you strengthen
    with 'Kegel' exercises, and most people would likely call them the 'love
    muscles'). If he is close to coming, even this pumping may stretch the front
    of the penis enough to trigger an orgasm.
    Move your fingers down his perineum (the slight ridge between scrotum and
    anus). This is a wonderful area to massage. In another inch you reach the
    anus, the other focus of erotic pleasure in his body. The skin around anus
    is as sensitive as the lips, a place for soft tickling, but able to grip as
    firmly as a fist, a place for fucking. Bill Cosby may get mileage out of
    fear of anal penetration, but I think 99% of all males love the feel of a
    finger in the ass.

    Use some of his or your own lubrication to massage his anus. If you wish to,
    press firmly and feel it open ever so slightly to allow you to massage the
    entire firm sphincter (opening). Slowly or by surprise you can slip a finger
    in. There are no more nerve endings past the anus, but the feeling of
    stretching and penetration is heady and delightful all in itself. At this
    point you may decide to head farther up to massage his prostate. This is (as
    everyone says) a 'walnut-sized gland' about one finger's length in. It is
    the true root of the penis, which you have now followed from the delicate
    glans, along the soft shaft, down to the muscled base, and deep into his
    body. Massaging the prostate enough will usually (not always) trigger
    orgasm, a different experience from a purely penis-based orgasm. If you do
    this, you will feel the enormous firming and contractions that precede and
    accompany ejaculation. It's time to put him out of his misery. With one
    hand pressing against the scrotum or pushing into his anus, and another
    massaging the glans and final inch of the penis (or with your mouth doing
    the same), 'go for it!'. There's more you should know about how a boy
    works. Erection, orgasm, and ejaculation are all separate mechanisms. They
    do not have to accompany each other; the only rule is that orgasm does cause
    ejaculation (unless something is medically wrong). In particular, erections
    can come and go for no apparent reason, so don't worry if you feel him go
    soft once in a while. We have been talking a lot about the 'primary
    erogenous zones', which I hope you now know well. There are of course other
    parts of his body that he wants you to pay attention to, such as his nipples
    (as sensitive as a woman's, and too often neglected). But there is one
    erogenous zone more important than all others, and one you can spend a
    lifetime exploring together: his mind. We males love to be touched and
    petted and stroked and sucked, but more exciting than all of that is the
    thrill of giving pleasure to and sharing pleasure with another person.

    OK, that is all I have. Now go and put my helpful advise to work. And have
    fun
