Amazing African American Super-Geniuses: In (1821) (THOMAS L. JENNINGS) became the first (AFRICAN AMERICAN) to receive a patent in the United States of America. He invented an improved (DRY-CLEANING PROCESS) called (DRY-SCOURING) that would dry clothes on a rack with heat from a stove. His invention was unique because previous driers known as (VENTILATORS) were used over open flames and would cause fires, his process would be used for over (70) years. The wealth he generated was used to free his family from slavery. In (1830) (BENJAMIN BRADLEY) was born a (SLAVE) in Annapolis, MD and was a self-educated inventor. At the age of (16) he built a working (STEAM ENGINE) from pieces of scrap metal and was given a job as an assistant in the science department at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. Bradley sold his original model engine and used the money to develop an engine large enough to run the world's first (STEAM-POWERED SLOOP-OF-WAR) aka (WARSHIP) but because he was a slave he was not allowed to patent the engine he invented. He was, however, able to sell the engine and keep the proceeds. He would use that money to buy his freedom. (ROY CLAY Sr.) is known as the (BLACK GODFATHER OF SILICON VALLEY) for his work in bringing African American college students into the industry of technology and is in the (SILICON VALLEY HALL OF FAME). In (1966) Mr. Clay was a founding member of the (HP COMPUTER DIVISION) and was the first director of the (HP RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE GROUP). He developed the software for the first (HP 16-BIT MINICOMPUTER/2116A) that was unique because it didn't need to be confined in a temperature-controlled room like its predecessors and was the standard for (HP DESKTOP COMPUTERS) for over (20) years. In (1977) he founded the company (ROD-L ELECTRONICS) based on (ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTING EQUIPMENT) which is the safest product of its kind. His products are used by leading manufactures of electrical and electronic equipment worldwide. (Dr. MARK DEAN) is an (AFRICAN AMERICAN) computer scientist and is known to many in the industry as (THE FATHER OF THE PERSONAL COMPUTER). He is a (HALL OF FAME INVENTOR) with over (20) U.S patents and holds (3) out of the original (9) patents that the (IBM PC) is based on. He is (VICE PRESIDENT OF SYSTEMS AT IBM ALMADEN RESEARCH CENTER) and is a (FELLOW) of the company, which is the highest honor at (IBM). In (1981) he invented the (COLOR GRAPHICS ADAPTER) and the (INDUSTRY STANDARD ARCHITECTURE BUS) for the original (IBM) compatible computer, which enables multiple devises like the modem, mouse, printer and keyboard to be connected to the motherboard. In (1984) he invented the (IBM PC/AT) which is the second generation of the (PC) and in (1987) he invented the (IBM PERSONAL SYSTEM/2 70&80) which is the third generation of the (PC). In (1998) he led the team that invented the first (1-GIGAHERTZ MICROPROCESSOR) which contains (1-MILLION TRANSISTORS) capable of computing (1-BILLION) calculations per second and has (LIMITLESS) potential. In (2004) he led the team that created a (SUPERCOMPUTER) called (BLUE GENE) which is designed to reach unimaginable speed and has (4) different models. Dr. Dean is a (GIANT) in the field of technology and is well worth his own history book. In (1989) (Dr.PHILIP EMEAGWALI) won the (GORDON BELL PRIZE) for inventing (THE WORLD'S FASTEST SUPERCOMPUTER SOFTWARE) which performs (3-MILLION CALCULATIONS PER-SECOND) by using (65,000) different processors and is primarily used for weather forecasting, oil drilling and climate change. Dr. Emeagwali is an immigrant from the continent of Africa. (GRANVILLE T. WOODS) is a (PROLIFIC) (HALL OF FAME INVENTOR) and holds over (60) patents. In (1887) he invented the (SYNCHRONOUS MULTIPLEX RAILWAY TELEGRAPH) allowing trains station to communicate with moving trains so they knew exactly where they all were at all times preventing countless accidents and lives. He is known to many as (THE BLACK THOMAS EDISON). (BENJAMIN BANNEKER) is a self-educated scientist, astronomer, inventor, mathematician and writer who worked with the surveying team that laid out the construction of Washington, DC. In (1752) he built the first striking clock constructed in American entirely out of wood that kept precise time for over (40) years. In (1773) he began making astronomical calculations that led him to successfully forecast a (1789) solar eclipse. He is best known for his (FARMERS ALMANACS) between (1792) and (1797) on medicines, listed tides, astronomical info and solar eclipses all calculated by Banneker himself. (LEWIS LATIMER) is a (HALL OF FALL INVENTOR) with (7) patents and in (1881) invented the (INCANDESCENT ELECTRIC LAMP WITH CARBON-FILAMENT) which lasted longer then (THOMAS EDISON'S ELECTRIFIED LIGHT BULB FILAMENTS) made of paper. Latimer later sold the invention to the United States Electric Company. In (1882) he patented (THE PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING CARBON-FILAMENT) and a (GLOBE SUPPORTER FOR ELECTRIC LAMPS) made of wood. In the (1920's) light bulbs with (TUNGSTEN-FILAMENTS) would take its place. (OTIS BOYKINS) holds (28) patent inventions for improved and low cost (ELECTRICAL RESISTORS) for all IBM computers, radios, televisions and other electronic devices. He also created a (VARIABLE RESISTOR) used in all (GUIDED MISSILES) but his most famous invention was a (CONTROL UNIT) for the (ARTIFICIAL HEART PACEMAKER) which uses electrical impulses to maintain a regular heartbeat. (THOMAS MENSAH) holds (14) overall patents and is a (PIONEER) in the field of (FIBER OPTIC TECHNOLOGY) for guided missiles, computers, internet, ATM's, telephones etc; he made the process (20X) faster then it was with copper. Mr. Mensah is an immigrant from the continent of Africa. In (1971) (Dr.HENRY T. SAMPSON) invented the (GAMMA ELECTRIC CELL) which pertains to the use of the (NUCLEAR REACTOR). The idea behind the invention was to convert powerful radiating energies into safe and useful energy sources which would be useful for hundreds of years. (JAMES E.WEST) is a (PROLIFIC) patent holder with (47) inventions. In (1962) he invented the (ELECTROACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER ELECTRET MICROPHONE) which is the technology in over (90%) of all microphones used today. In (1988) (Dr. PATRICA BATH) patented (LASERPHACO PROBE) which removed cataracts with a fiber-optic laser. Dr. Bath's invention increased the accuracy and results of cataract surgery. She is the first African American women to receive a patent for medical purposes. (MARIE BROWN) in (1969) invented the first (VIDEO HOME SECURITY SYSTEM). In (1920) (JAMES S. ADAMS) invented the (AIRPLANE PROPELLER). (FREDERICK MCKINLEY JONES) holds (65) patents.

In (1976) (Dr. SHIRLEY JACKSON) began working for (BELL LABORATORIES) inventing developments for the (POTABLE FAX, TOUCH TONE TELEPHONE, SOLAR CELL & FIBER OPTIC CABLES). She has also made significant contributions in the creation of (CALLER ID & CALL WAITING). Dr. Jackson is the first African American women to earn a PhD from MIT. In (1980) (VALERIE THOMAS) invented the (ILLUSION TRANSMITTER) that gives I-pods, mp3 player's and other gadgets the ability to project the images on the screen. Her technology is currently being used for surgery and could be the next generation of the television. She was the project manager for (NASA'S) image-processing system on (LANDSTAT) and her invention made it possible for satellites to project images from outer space. That is just to name a few (AFRICAN AMERICAN SUPER-GENIUSES) that have made invaluable contributions to the country and world we live in today. We didn't invent a lot of things; we just invented the things that people use. We'll continue to produce the best and the brightest despite all of the obstacles that stand in our way. (WE NEVER NEEDED ANYBODY FOR ANYTHING; THEY NEEDED US AND STILL DO). Whites: (CHARLES BABBAGE) never invented anything and his idea of the (COMPUTER) was incomplete.

I would prefer an attractive woman with common sense. "Be real" with yourself as well as the men your trying to meet.

History of the Black Bedroom: the Slave master comes in, and the black husband is sent out to sit on a tree stump, while the woman and the white master, have a "all night romp". by the time the black man comes back in by pre- dawn, the woman has had her fill of pleasure, and lays There "talking about what she don't do", with for half the night she did everything imaginable and then some. many made sure the man was out of the house by the time they knew the Master would come by to get his nightly dose, so she give the husband a quickie, and use it as a warm up session, to be prepared for the white master, who would again find the sunlight, with his butt bouncing and humping, and the woman smiling and laughing with her own delights into pleasure. Some felt elite, because they were chosen, and some felt they had manipulative powers, because they were chosen, and sex with the husband, was simply an appeasment function, to keep peace in the slave quarters. but the preperation for the "night bed master" was the focus and the drive, and there was no thought of denial, but maybe acts of invitation to insure the master arrived as early as possible, so they go extend the activity of the night. Its no mystery why the mixture of race is so predominating, and sex creates its own passions and it does its own bondings, and they'd be lying to say, they did not many nights welcome it, and get angry when the white master did not show-up. they felt powerful over the black man, they felt powerful over the white man, and they felt powerful over the white woman.. and what may have resulted was a outspoken arrogance, that have morphed into the domineering attitudes that seem to seek to dominate houses and cause havoc in homes to this very day. It was no different than any other society that had slaves during the history of the world, the slave women who were chosen felt priveledged, to be chosen and enjoyed the benefits it afforded them, and that was a reality long before American Slavery. it was no different than in African Nations where one tribe conquered another tribe, and it happen the same in America in its system of slavery. In the human social-sexual function, Slavery benefitted the black women and the white man, because they were getting it from both side. White women wanted slavery over, because it frees her to get with the black man as well as the white man, and black man did not feel he should be denied the option to get with white women as well as black women. sex bonds people, regardless of all the moral flap people talk, and many of those women loved their slave master as much and many times more than the husband, and they had sex with their master many times more than with their husband. black women for ages would deny the black man oral sex, but she had no reservations about it when the white man lowered his pants, and many times she probably lowered the pants for him. and you can bet with the natural nature of sex, she was eagerly wating on him to orally engage her as well. That's the nature of sexuality and people and what people do. black women were angry because the white man could sex each other up all night, but did not have to claim her during the day, and the black man could claim her during the day, but she was already pre-booked up for the night. but the white man gave her liberties, and made her see her own man as inferior, becase he had no power to say anything. he was used more as a guardiant to protect the master's 'sex object" during the day. Even today, many of the standards women bicker about are nothing but trying to emulate the ways the white slave master lived, and they have been trying to impose that method of how a house is ran, based on what they viewed of white society. black men as a rule do not run out an straighten his hair, nor does he try to do everything the white man does, he engages the world as himself, and black women continue to batter him trying to force him to emulate the white man. black women has been competeting with white women all along and trying to blame it on men, because he does not give her the same things white men give to white women, so her innate resentment at the black man is groomed from these processes. black men end up in prison trying to do stuff to get stuff to impress women, and end up with street bravado trying to be some image that was battered down into submission and repressions and suppressions of evry sort. Even today, women fill the ranks of offices, but men are in the manual labor jobs, and they will gladly promote a black women ahead of a black man, and the cycle of it all just continues, as the plots of life thickens. black women think they can still deprive black men of sex, and play regulation games with sex, and what they are finding, is that black men no longer has to rely on them alone for sex, he can cross any race and culture and ethnic group and get it.. Just like she has been able to do for ages. now they are ticked off,because black men now have the equality to get it where he wants it and to get it where it exist, and she is not the sole controller of him having sex. *Reasons Why Men Cheat On Their Wives* Research has identified several prime reasons why men cheat on their wives to become involved with other women. In listing these reasons we in no way justify the infidelity of men. In each of these reasons a man could take another alternative to maintain marital fidelity and respect for his wife. *Ego... *One reason for infidelity is male ego. When a man sees himself as God's gift to women he finds the need to constantly prove to himself that he is still attractive to the opposite sex...especially as he grows older. It isn't a matter a sex, just ego, that tempts him to seek the admiration of another woman other than his wife. *Women Wise...* Most men grow up with an unconscious fear of women. But as they grow older, some men think they have the opposite sex all figured out. They then go exploring with the idea that they can have any woman they set their sights on. Their conquests prove to them that they have the power and superiority over the opposite sex. *Sexual Boredom...* Some men never leave the infantile sexual status where sexual excitement is more important than an intimate relationship. Such a man is never satisfied with "sex as usual" and often seeks for new ventures and new excitement as defined by a new sex partner. *Sexual Insecurity.. .*Some men feel that they will eventually lose their sex drive the older they get. As one final attempt at one last fling they pursue an adulterous relationship to prove to themselves that "they still got it." *Wife's Menopause... * Sometimes the woman can create the problem. During menopause, if she has not been properly trained, she might think that her menopause marked the end of her sex life and attractiveness. During this period she might become moody, irritable and even hostile toward her husband. Needless to say, all this can push a man to seek the warm embraces of another woman. *Hard Work, No Play...* Husband and wife are involved in the normal routines of life. They work hard, raise a family, pay bills, change diapers, paint the house, etc. Married life becomes a business venture rather than a love affair. Then comes along a pretty little thing who wants to play. It's something new that he hasn't known for a lot of years. *Sympathy... * The old saying about "two seeds in one pod" seems to define another reason why men cheat on their wives. A guy with problems meets a woman with problems...and they begin to talk. The mutual sympathy factor and the resemblance of one another's problems draws them closer to one another. *Conclusion. ..* There is no justification for a man or woman to be unfaithful to their marriage partner...even though infidelity is generally the result of unmet needs. Regardless of what a spouse is going through, or what needs he or she is not getting met...there is always an answer that the husband and wife can work on together. For this reason it is extremely urgent that a husband and wife develop and maintain an open relationship where they can talk about their feelings and fears with one another honestly and calmly...keeping in mind that good communication not involves talking to one another but also listening with an open mind and open heart. What's in Semen? Obviously, semen contains spermatozoa, but sperm accounts for only a small percentage of spunk. Cum is 90 percent seminal fluid, which is composed of dozens of chemical components. The base of seminal fluid is primarily fructose (sugar) and proteins, with many other trace minerals and substances. Here's a listing of some of semen's ingredients: Sugars: Fructose, sorbitol, inositol Proteins and amino acids: glutathione, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), creatine Minerals: Phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, calcium, potassium Vitamins: Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vitamin B12, choline Hormones: Testosterone, prostaglandins Body byproducts: Lactic acid, urea, uric acid, nitrogen Is Swallowing Cum Healthy? Healthy semen (that is, %#&@$! produced by a well-nourished, disease- free male) may in fact be not only safe to eat, but actually good for you. Seminal fluid, the base of %#&@$!, is a veritable nutrient-rich soup. Semen is a source of highly concentrated, high-quality protein. In dietary terms, it's comparable to egg whites or gelatin. Besides protein, semen contains high concentrations of some minerals, such as zinc, and trace amounts of other important nutrients, like calcium and magnesium. While you shouldn't depend on a shot of %#&@$! to get your recommended daily allowances of vitamins and minerals, swallowing semen on a regular basis can't hurt as a dietary supplement Health Benefits of Swallowing Semen A recent study found that women who gave their men oral sex, and swallowed, had a lower risk of preeclampsia, the dangerously high blood pressure that sometimes accompanies pregnancy. "The present study shows that oral sex and swallowing sperm is correlated with a diminished occurrence of preeclampsia, " said the Dutch authors. Health Benefits of %#&@$!l Absorption of Semen A recent study of college students at the State University of New York in Albany suggests that semen acts as an antidepressant. Females in the study who were having sex without condoms had fewer signs of depression than women who used condoms or abstained from sex. "These data are consistent with the possibility that semen may antagonize depressive symptoms," the authors wrote, "and evidence which shows that the %#&@$! absorbs a number of components of semen that can be detected in the bloodstream within a few hours of administration. " THIS IS SOMETHING I FOUND ON ANOTHER WEBSITE. WHAT DO YOU THIINK... Alot of you need to print this out. FELLATIO 101 LESSON ONE Let's talk about the "basic %#&@$!?. First things first. LOOK at the %#&@$!. I do not mean a cursory glance. Make sure it is free of bumps, chafing, scabs, etc. Take enough time that you convince your companion that some kind of treat is in store for him provided he will allow you to do with him, and particularly with his %#&@$!, exactly what you want. 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 %#&@$! is worshipping. (Worshipping or examining ? same difference, just keep it too yourself). Next take a close look at the shaft of the %#&@$! 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 %#&@$! (comes from the Latin glans which means acorn. Look at it closely; does kind of look like an acorn doesn't it?) The outside perimeter of the glans %#&@$! is the corona. This joins the head to the shaft. This is the most sensitive spot on the %#&@$!. It is toward this ridge that you will direct most of your attention when you are giving head. Follow this ridge around to the underside of the %#&@$!. 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 %#&@$!. The shaft does not have many nerve endings and does not, therefore, provide a man with any high degree of stimulation when caressed either manually or with your tongue to the exclusion of the glans %#&@$! itself. It always amazes me to note the number of confirmed %#&@$!suckers who believe that sucking up and down on the shaft will get the guy off. That's not it folks! If it works it is because the back of your throat is playing tricks on his glans %#&@$!. 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 let?s go back to the shaft of the matter. The opening in the tip of the glans %#&@$! is the meatus. Here is where the %#&@$! spurts (there are other parts of a man's body which respond with alacrity to oral stimulation) . So LOOK at your partner's %#&@$!. Study it. Learn its areas of special sensitivity completely and be ready to apply your knowledge to his body with your tongue and with your lips when you bend your loving head over his %#&@$!. There is nothing that you can do which more clearly shows your love for him than the worship you can provide his %#&@$!! LESSON TWO The sad fact is that most people, men and women, do not have the slightest idea of how to suck %#&@$!. Most seem to think that simply by making a %#&@$! of their mouth, closing it around a man's %#&@$!, and bobbing their heads lustily up and down until he climaxes automatically makes them expert %#&@$!suckers. Au contraire! Consummate skill is required to suck a man's %#&@$! and provide him with the highest degree of pleasure possible. Let's assume that you have taken that opportunity to LOOK at his %#&@$!. To explore each area of the %#&@$! 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 %#&@$! points toward the ceiling, cup his balls in one hand and gently, using only your tongue, lick softly, but carefully along the entire underside of his erect organ. As you suck along the underbelly you will learn those areas that give him the greatest pleasure when your tongue is touching them. Unless he is made of stone, your partner will provide you with vivid clues as to which areas are most pleasurable. As you discover these areas of enhanced pleasure concentrate on them. For most men the most sensitive area will be the point where the ring (or corona) of the head and the foreskin are attached. Or were attached prior to his circumcision. By continued licking and tapping along this area with your tongue you are going to bring forth a geyser. If you are not skilled and you want to please him in a hurry I suggest that you get him off in this manner in order to become familiar at first hand with the nature and delight of his climax. As he is getting ready for climax you will note changes in his %#&@$!. These signs will be the same every time he climaxes so that you can prepare for his %#&@$! properly. The head of the %#&@$! 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 %#&@$! with his %#&@$!. And for most men, immediately prior to the %#&@$!, there will appear at the tiny, lovely lips at the tip of the %#&@$! 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. Where should you be when you are sucking his %#&@$!? Between his legs, on top of him, in a sixty nine position? Where? Because of the structure of his %#&@$!, 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 %#&@$! from the bottom rather than from the side or the top. Don't believe me? Try the various positions. See what works best for you and your partner. LESSON THREE Place his stiff %#&@$! inside your mouth but do not tighten your lips around the shaft. With your head begin a circle motion. The %#&@$! will slide to different places in your mouth as you continue the circle motion. Watch your teeth on this one. A kneeling position will suffice but it is also effective when your partner is on his back and your head is directly over his %#&@$!. 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. 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 %#&@$! to reveal his balls. With your tongue find the underside of his balls. Now, while resting his balls on your wet tongue, lick in an upward motion to the very tip of his %#&@$!. 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. 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 let?s discuss a technique that is probably the most common %#&@$!sucking technique in the world. Take his %#&@$! 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 %#&@$! in your mouth by sliding your moistened tongue lovingly over the head until your lips close around the shaft at the point just behind the corona. Don't just open your mouth and close it around his %#&@$!. Slide it in. He will enjoy it much more. Encase the shaft of his %#&@$! with your hand. Remember the shaft is relatively insensitive to any kind of stimulation. By enclosing his %#&@$! with your hand you give him the sensation of having his %#&@$! encased. Now you have several options. Try twisting your head from side to side making sure your moist lips stay in contact with the coronal ridge. While doing this gently move your hand up and down the shaft. When he climaxes he may want to push your head further down the shaft of his %#&@$!. He wants to envelop you with his %#&@$!. As you are learning his climax you will miss the fine points if you deep throat at this time. Instead gently suck around the corona as he climaxes so that you can intensify his pleasure and increase the force of his orgasm. As you gain more experience you will be able to tell exactly when his climax is approaching and you will be ready. LESSON SIX There is one further refinement to this basic technique which will heighten his orgasm. If you place your thumb at the very base of the %#&@$! in such a way as to block the tube through which the %#&@$! spurts, the semen cannot escape even though he is spasming and going through the reflex action of ejaculating semen. If at the same time you suck vigorously on the head of his %#&@$! you can delay his %#&@$! for several long moments. When you finally allow the %#&@$! to spurt it will last much longer and be just as intense as a result. Even though you delay the %#&@$! for only a few short moments you will be surprised by the intensity of his %#&@$!. These techniques are the basis of %#&@$!sucking. Do not go beyond them until you have become an expert, not only in the techniques themselves, but also in the reading and interpreting of your partner's responses to such a point that you know exactly how he is getting off on what you are doing. When you have reached this point, you are ready for the more subtle, more advanced techniques. Don't be so slavish that you miss out on the fun of self discovery. Find out what works for you and for your partner and make your %#&@$!sucking as individual as your signature. After all, you want your man to pick you out in the dark among hundred slobbering %#&@$!suckers. LESSON SEVEN One of the first things you encountered when you first started to suck %#&@$! was a gag reflex. Most men seem to want to force their %#&@$!s down your throat as far as they can get it. Particularly at the moment when they %#&@$!! Consider for a moment that the average length of your oral cavity is three to three and a half inches while the average %#&@$! length is six to six and a half inches. The laws of nature would seem to dictate that getting all that %#&@$! into your mouth is an impossibility. It can be done. 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 %#&@$! into your mouth and down your throat. The biggest obstacle to taking all of his %#&@$! 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 %#&@$! past that angle. In order to practice this, get in a position where you can turn your head in such a way that your mouth and throat lie almost in a straight line. The best position to accomplish this is to lie on a bed so that your head is near the edge with your body sprawled across the bed so that your head is tipped sharply back. This position will put your mouth and throat nearly in a line and will allow your partner to approach you in such a way that insertion of his %#&@$! can be made so deeply that his pubic hair presses against your lips. LESSON EIGHT The natural tendency of the body is to gag when a foreign object such as a deeply thrusting %#&@$! being forced down your throat. You can overcome this tendency by completely relaxing your throat at moment the insertion is made. It is equally important that you maintain this relaxation during the entire deep throating. Let him put his %#&@$! 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 %#&@$!. If you are able try to stimulate his underbelly with your tongue. You will only be able to relax and take his %#&@$! 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 %#&@$! as deeply down your throat as he wants to. Now your partner begins an in and out movement that is just like %#&@$!ing. 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 %#&@$!. At that spectacular moment he will be able for the first time to thrust his %#&@$! 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 %#&@$!. And this is not just because he has a condom on his dick. The reason is because he has gotten his %#&@$! BEYOND your gag reflex! If both you and your partner understand what it is that you are trying to do as well as the possible problems that may "%#&@$!" up along the way no harm or discomfort will happen to either of you. It is possible that not everyone will learn the "deep throat" technique but this inability does not make you any less a %#&@$!sucker. You must allow your throat to relax completely while your partner is thrusting his %#&@$! deeply down your throat. To do this long enough for your partner to completely get it off is very difficult and may require practice beyond this day. It may be that you will be able to take your partner completely down your throat, but you will not be able to maintain proper relaxation of your throat until he shoots his load. Hopefully your partner will understand that this is not a rejection of him or of what he is offering you, and it is my sincere desire that you not stop here and think that you will never master the "deep throat" technique. LESSON NINE Now lets turn to another portion of your partner's anatomy which should not be ignored-the, family jewels. Here are two objects which can enhance your partner's feelings more than any other. Many people do not think of the balls as primary sexual objects. Many men are extremely sensitive and just as in lesson eight there must be a certain amount of trust built up between the two of you before he will willingly let you have undisputed use of these two pearls of delight! Begin by gently licking his balls with your tongue. As your partner becomes more trusting you may begin to play with his nipples with your fingers gradually increasing or decreasing the intensity as you gauge how he is responding. You may want to gently caress his %#&@$! 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 (OPTIONAL) 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 butt hole. You are probably under the impression that actual penetration of the %#&@$! itself is necessary for your partner to receive the most complete enjoyment of this technique. Not so! The nerve endings around the anus itself have no discrimination and you will get him off just as well and as thoroughly by licking around the area as if you were to stick your tongue up his butt! As with some of your other lessons this technique will not usually be enough to get him to %#&@$!, 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 %#&@$! will cause a rapid and powerful %#&@$!! 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 %#&@$!. Many men are particularly sensitive in this area and it will enhance the sensations that your mouth and tongue and throat are giving his %#&@$! 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 %#&@$! completely you will be at the area of the prostate gland. Massage of this gland by your finger will produce some of the most delightful sensations your partner has yet to experience. A gloved finger is really all that is required for this lesson. However some members of the %#&@$!suckers Club of America report 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. One other point. When your partner cums there will be a natural tendency for him to push the finger or vibrator out of his %#&@$!. The %#&@$! 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. LESSON TWELVE There are times when you will want to get him off in a hurry! It is a very simple technique and if you understand your partner's basic %#&@$! anatomy you will grasp this one easily. Place your lips around the head of your partner's %#&@$! and twirl your lips wetly and gently around the coronal ridge at the back of the head of his %#&@$!. This does not require any great %#&@$!sucking skill and it works simply because this is the area that is most sensitive on your partner's %#&@$!. It is not necessary to be a skillful %#&@$!sucker. All that is necessary is for you to find the most sensitive area around the coronal area. By sucking on this area of his %#&@$! continuously you will produce a quick powerful %#&@$!. It is not necessary to bob your head up and down on his %#&@$! to get him off. One other use of this technique is to get him hard again after he cums and you will soon find him rip roaring to go again. LESSON THIRTEEN After he has %#&@$! you may need other techniques to keep him hard and to keep him interested. Many men (not all but a good portion of) are exhausted by a single %#&@$! and while it is possible to get your partner up again you have a long way to go before you get him to %#&@$! again. %#&@$!sucking alone at this time is usually not enough to get him off. You will need to combine some of the techniques you have learned earlier with your basic %#&@$!sucking 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 %#&@$!. His armpits. His earlobes. For the second %#&@$! you are free to really get into his body and explore all those erotic areas that you missed when you were concentrating on his %#&@$! exclusively. His navel. His toes. LESSON FOURTEEN Sixty nine is not always the perfect way to provide your partner oral satisfaction. Inadvertently one of you will "let up" your end of the %#&@$!sucking 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. ADDITIONAL TECHNIQUES The Butterfly Flutter The best position for this very sensuous %#&@$!sucking movement is kneeling over your partner. If he is on his back kneel between his legs. Or kneel in front of your partner while he stands. With your lips firmly wrapped around the %#&@$! head and shaft, gently flick the tip of the %#&@$! with your tongue. With your lips around the %#&@$! shaft you would make an up and down movement with your tongue. Flutter your tongue up and down the tip of the %#&@$!. After several minutes of this continue with the basic vacuum suck. The Traveling Figure Eight After you have become comfortable with the basic vacuum suck and you have become accustomed to his %#&@$! deep in your mouth and throat try this action. It is guaranteed to take his breath away. With your lips firmly wrapped around the %#&@$! shaft try very slowly to reach the base of the shaft or as close to it as you are comfortable. Your nose should be buried in or at least touching the pubic hairs at the base of the %#&@$!. 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 %#&@$! to the head, doing the figure eight motion. Keep doing this motion and let your lips firmly travel up and down the %#&@$! 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. The Circle Place his stiff %#&@$! inside your mouth but do not tighten your lips around the shaft. With your head begin a circle motion. The %#&@$! 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 %#&@$!. The circle should be executed in both clockwise and counterclockwise motions in a slow purposeful manner. The Lollipop Lick With your man sitting in an elevated position and you on your knees in front lift his hard %#&@$! 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 %#&@$!. It is permissible to use your hands in this technique. It is better to do this technique several times in succession-like licking a lollipop or ice cream cone. Enjoy! Stopping for a break and 40 other mistakes men make in bed 1) NOT KISSING FIRST Avoiding her lips and diving straight for the erogenous zones makes her feel like you're paying by the hour and trying to get your money's worth by cutting out nonessentials. A proper passionate kiss is the ultimate form of foreplay. 2) BLOWING TOO HARD IN HER EAR Admit it, some kid at school told you girls love this. Well, there's a difference between being erotic and blowing as if you're trying to extinguish the candles on your 50th birthday cake. That hurts. 3) NOT SHAVING You often forget you have a porcupine strapped to your chin, which you rake repeatedly across your partner's face and thighs. When she turns her head from side to side, it's not passion, it's avoidance. 4) SQUEEZING HER BREAST Most men act like a housewife testing a melon for ripeness when they get their hand on a pair. Stroke, caress, and smooth them. 5) BITING HER NIPPLES Why do men fasten onto a woman's nipples, then clamp down like they're trying to deflate her body via her breasts? Nipples are highly sensitive. They can't stand up to chewing. Lick and suck them gently. Flicking your tongue across them is good. Pretending they're a dogie toy isn't. 6) TWIDDLING HER NIPPLES Stop doing that thing where you twiddle the nipples between finger and thumb like you're trying to find a radio station in a hilly area. Focus on the whole breasts, not just the exclamation points. 7) IGNORING THE OTHER PARTS OF HER BODY A woman is not a highway with just three turnoffs: Breastville East and West, and the Midtown Tunnel. There are vast areas of her body which you've ignored far too often as you go bombing straight into downtown %#&@$!. So start paying them some attention. 8) GETTING THE HAND TRAPPED Poor manual dexterity in the underskirt region can result in tangled fingers and underpants. If you're going to be that aggressive, just ask her to take the damn things off. 9) LEAVING HER A LITTLE PRESENT Condom disposal is the man's responsibility. You wore it, you store it. 10) ATTACKING THE CLITORIS Direct pressure is very unpleasant, so gently rotate your fingers along side of the clitoris. 11) STOPPING FOR A BREAK Women, unlike men, don't pick up where they left off. If you stop, they plummet back to square one very fast. If you can tell she's not there, keep going at all costs, numb jaw or not. 12) UNDRESSING HER AWKWARDLY Women hate looking stupid, but stupid she will look when naked at the waist with a sweater stuck over her head. Unwrap her like an elegant present, not a kid's toy. 13) GIVING HER A WEDGIE DURING FOREPLAY Stroking her gently through her panties can be very sexy. Pulling the material up between her thighs and yanking it back and forth is not.

MESSAGE TO BILL COSBY: If the members of the Black lower class have ?dropped the ball? then I would like to suggest that you, sir, have done absolutely nothing to move that ball down the field. It doesn?t take much intellect or insight to point out the problems of the disenfranchised. Blaming them for their circumstances, however, is counterproductive to the problem. Standing atop your pedestal of condescension, you have somehow come to believe that only middle-class African Americans possess the ability to pass on some mysterious "personal responsibility" gene. Apparently, the Black people who are the most privileged, most educated, and most acculturated can readily determine what's wrong with the Black community and it always seems to be the fault of the least advantaged, the least educated, the most disenfranchised portion of the population. Apparently, if you are Black and "ghetto," it's because one has made a personal choice to throw the standards of upstanding Black people by the wayside and opt for behaviors that will keep you tied to a life of despair. I?m here to assert that the reasons for ?ghetto mentality? are far more complex than Black people wallowing at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder saying, ?I know exactly how to raise myself out of these dreadful circumstances but I?m content to be underprivileged, uneducated and ostracized by society.? The existence and perpetuation of "ghetto" behaviors is not the result of choice, it is the result of decades of racism, oppression, degradation and abuse gone untreated. It?s a very simple equation. Emotional, physical, psychological, sexual, drug, and alcohol abuse gets worse generationally. Add to that, a poor diet, bombarding the subconscious mind with violent and sexual images, guns, violence, poverty, no jobs, piss-poor education, and music that pounds offensive and degrading messages in our minds daily and you get ghetto behaviors. The black middle class is quick to jump on the ?slavery was in the past, let it go? ?stop being a victim? and ?just pull yourself up by your bootstraps? bandwagon as a way to prove that they are better than the Black lower class. That is reflective of a pathological, assimilationist trend that says that we should deny our history, that what happened to our ancestors has no significance, and that we should believe the distorted lies branded into our consciousness like burning hot steel branded the slave masters mark into our ancestor?s flesh? Black middle-class African Americans are so terrified to be identified as victims that they will disavow anything that would indicate that we have the blood of unbelievable heroes coursing through our veins. Being a victim doesn?t mean that you are inherently flawed, being a victim doesn?t mean that you aren?t capable of healing. Being a victim means that someone else has committed a crime against you. Period. There is no shame in being a descendent of the victims of chattel slavery. The crime is in pretending that it has no long lasting legacy and that we have completely healed our untreated and cancerous wounds. Instilling knowledge of healthier value systems to a person that didn't learn them is not an insurmountable task, it's just one Black middle class doesn't want to take on because they don't want to get their hands dirty with the stench of ghetto. Yeah, it's much easier for the Black middle class to look down their noses at those that haven't been given the same advantages rather than say, "There but for the grace of God go I." Black middle class people need something to make themselves feel superior, and the poor and disenfranchised are the easy targets. If we as a people are truly to heal, we have to look in the mirror and see our own misperceptions, we have to challenge our sense of reality and analyze the things that were taught to us in captivity still are very much a part of our perceptions. How many black women, from every educational background, believe that they don?t need a man to raise a child? How many black men, with all levels of financial stability, find it perfectly acceptable to father a child and have no role in that child?s life? How many parents believe a child should be beaten to silence them? Those are examples of flawed thinking learned in slavery and are a perpetuation of inherited, unhealthy beliefs. Aren?t we attacking the wrong things, Dr. Cosby? Shouldn?t we, as Black scholars, be dismantling those dangerous perceptions rather than attacking the people that are the least capable of climbing the corporate ladder? Fortunately, the people who are the brunt of your lashing, people who?ve done absolutely nothing but play the horrible cards they?ve been dealt, either don?t care what you have to say or don?t understand.
