Okay, listen:

You have the goalie in his goal, right?

Behind A is the other team's defense, so A is isolated from the rest of his team (aka "offside").
Now, someone from his own team passes A the ball. And this is where the offside rule is applied: this is forbidden.

This is because otherwise you'd just keep someone standing infront of the other team's goal permanently, and this would make the game very static.

Have I solved this male mystery for you? Smile


I thought offsides was when the defense crosses the line of scrimmage before the offense puts the ball in play?


That's offsides in American Football, while she described offsides in football(soccer).

Someone once told me (and I may be wrong, cuz I know crap about this culture) was in India, the Indians don't have words for "gay" and "lesbien" it's thier culture's belief that people just come with a varied degree in sexuality. I was told it wasn't abnormal or even really noticed. But since the West came in, it is now. (Someone say something if they actually know)
Still, cool idea, huh?


I'm not just about the specific claim there, but I do know India has traditionally been very liberated sexually, including with things that would make many Western men start getting uptight. (I.e anal play or fingering).

I know that stuff like that would be considered just a normal part of sex, whereas most guys I know over here would be extremely reluctant to let a girl do something like that to them.

Funny how a thread about men has turned into one about football isn`t it? The moment you try to dissect the male psyche we insidiously divert the subject from our feelings onto external interests. You ladies will never get at the truth. Never.

Muahahahaha!

I am a man, and I'd rather spend my time reading poetry, watching Grey's Anatomy or cuddling with a certain someone (and no, cuddling isn't a euphemism for hardcore anal action here!) than watching five minutes of football. Where does that leave me? Smile

why is it they are then so turned on by Lesbianism and anal intercourse?

I don't think that the latter is nearly as common a turn-on as the former. I'm not really turned on by either, so I can't say for sure. The former holds my attention more because, well, it's that many more boobs.
quote:
I mean, isn't homosexuality homosexuality, or are they (the homophobic ones) being hypocrites, and why? I don't get it?

If I may, I think it's a little homophobic to reduce a lifestyle to methods of sex. Actual, practical, day-to-day lesbianism bears little to no resemblance to the kind found in male jerk-mags, and homosexuality can express itself in ways other than taking it up the off-ramp.

Also, the anus is simply tighter than the vagina. A tighter seal means greater stimulation.

Dweller, I am sincerely sorry if I have offended anyone by sounding homophobic myself in having generalized. In honesty, I'd be the last person to do that knowingly, but that's part of what makes racism frightening.

Anyways....anus VS vagina grip strength. hhhhumph....I reckon you've been hanging around with the wrong women! Next get together, let's call a grip test, there must be a grip sensitive tool out there, like they use at the dr.'s when they fear you're coming down with arthritus (sp?). Girls, start those Keegle excercises! LOL You couldn't sniper a stiff vermicelli into my vagina without an invitation, and I know more than a few women who can shoot a guy across the room using only vaginal muscles when she's done with 'im. Wink Now THAT's pretty bold coming from a 49 year old!
As Ever,

All you need to do is train your pc muscles.
The great thing is, you can do that practically anywhere, in the subway, or at breakfast, or at work...

fhionn, I really can't take offense, I'm just airing an opinion given by some of my gay friends when anal sex and lesbianism as portrayed to heterosexual men are shown as being the mainstay of what it means to be homosexual.

On the anus thing, you're right, the Kegel exercises are effective and can lead to . . . great things, but not everyone knows them or thinks of them.
