    Interesting comment, but not necessary to smoke to enjoy it. *(Apparantly she did.)

    I don't think you need to go the professional counselor route...not when there are so many "self-help" sex manuals out there.
    May I suggest three?
    "The Guide to Getting It On" by Paul Joannides (goofy foot press) 6th edition
    "Sex for One" by Bette Dodson
    "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex" by Dr. David Rubin (get the updated 21st century edition, as opposed to the original 1970 paperback, which is pretty darn white bread and conservative.)

    I get the impression that you must be into cats. A furry, by any chance?

    He listed some other cities too. I sure would like to get with some well cultured, wine drinkin' cowboys and he said that would be a good place to start. Yankees tend to assume that, by "cowboy," I mean a red-neck. That's not true. The modern day cowboy is not just someone that herds cattle while on horseback. It can also be someone that works the land, lives a basic life with a strong moral code, and does right by his family. It's a way of behavin' that harks back to traditional values and the spirit of the west and our country's history. When a cowboy acts right, it means that he is embodying the courage of the early settlers (not those damn gold rush fools). They understand and appreciate the connection between land and animals- people and community. They value those things and a way of life that intertwines them.
    Now, a cowgirl is a whole different story and a much more respected one- ifn' those around her act right. A cowgirl has all of the attributes listed above and more. They are the women that know how to handle their horse and steer. They are both tough and gentle with animals. You DO NOT MESS with a cowgirl, especially if they've well earned the respect from their posse (friends, cousins, neighbors).
    When cowgirls get too old to ride or do their share of the work, then they become the glue that holds together their families and they are, in essence, moral police. If someone in their family is misbehavin,' it's the mom or grandma that sets them straight or intervenes. Those women are to be respected.
    This is a subculture, which means they have their own set of laws and police each other. If a woman gets abused or raped, then a posse forms to deliver due justice to that wayward jackass. If it's handled properly, then no one dies and there's no need to involve the law, because business has been handled. They usually don't have money for lawyers anyway, so they have to work within their own justice system.
    A lady cowboy also contributes a lot to their families and community by taking care of them and through their cooking or arts and crafts. Such talents are well-respected. If a woman has something significant enough to add to the cherished and passed down family cookbook, then she ought to enter it in the state fairs too.
    Anyhow, that's what I'm looking for in a man and why I consider myself an urban cowgirl that also has hand-to-hand combat and military training. I'd like to find something similar in a man.

    You're so freakin' cute, I can't even stand it. Witty, lil' sweety pie. When are you gonna take that doggy profile photo down and put one up of your sassy lil' self? I think your questionland replies totally give you more game.

    Holy hell people, where are your senses of humor? Part of me living a humanitarian life is that I dole out sweet lady advice that is also entertaining and should not be taken too literally. If you look at some of my other replies you will see that I also give serious advice when it's a sensitive situation. Meany-heads!
