| I don't dislike sunny days. Even if it's hitting 50+ C, I don't mind. :lol: .. But right now, if my place reaches 60+ C (140+ F), I might start complaining about it. 60C is when a sauna is just getting warm enough, for me. 85 is about where I like it. I was in one where it got up to 95. I lasted ab... |

| That story is quite similar to that of Elvis Presley, the best singer who ever lived. It's obvious he had AS. The autistic mind can be great with music - it's all patterns, precision, details and sharp hearing. What makes you say that Elvis had AS? Or that he was the best singer who ever lived. :ro... |

We didn't have to sue. We filed a claim with his insurance company, and they settled it without having to go to court. |

After surgery and P/T it healed. |

| Cycling isn't the sport for people with a low pain tolerance. :D When I was hit by a car, my shoulder was badly injured, but I felt nothing for about 20 minutes. I was up off the ground right away, and swearing my head off at the driver because my bike was in pieces. It wasn't until I reached down ... |

| I have an incredibly high pain tolerance, and it's coupled a miraculous amount of luck at minimizing injuries when something does happen. Hit by a car twice while riding my bike (2013 and 2015), no injuries either time, though one of those times my bike needed replacing. Several bike crashes on pav... |

| It's like, well, swimming without clothes. If you're a guy, it's not a whole lot different than swimming in a Speedo. It feels a little different on your genitals and rear end, but not that much. It's also were non-sexual. I've done it in mixed groups, and with my significant others. You can make it... |

| No, just lidocaine as a local. Years ago, I was given sodium pentathol for a double wisdom tooth extraction. Out in a split second, awake again in a split second, no recollection of being out. But no euphoric high like propofol gives me. |

Yup, and my guess is, the mods hit the OP with a blast of troll repellent spray, since he seems to be missing a profile. |

| I think others have a lot of useful responses for you. Is there also the possibility that he's asexual? Since the OP says that he's very masculine and amazing in bed, once she takes the initiative and he starts responding, I tend to doubt that. I would say, accept him the way he is, and perhaps in ... |
