  - Potentially to Sydney - spamlet Mar 29, 08:36 3
    - I've done this before. I had the option of 7 vs 11 hour (daytime) layover in a city I'd never visited. Totally took the 11. - ty97 Mar 29, 08:40 2
      - That's what I figure. I'll see some stuff I wouldn't get to see otherwise. - spamlet Mar 29, 08:43 1

- [deleted]
- I'd pick excellent sex with horrible relationship - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:34 5

    - [deleted]
    - my priorities are admittedly messed up -- nm - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:38 2
      - I think your priorities are great, you just have to continually go in and out of bad relationships/great sex.....literally. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 29, 08:42 1
        
        experience says you are absolutely correct - but for the purpose of the question, I think it means the horrible relationship is - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:44
- Even without the guy/girl difference, it's still relationship over sex. Relationships are 24/7, sex not so much. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 29, 08:27
- The first one cause sex is like pizza...even when it's bad it's still pretty good. -- nm - J Mar 29, 08:25 14

        TFox's point still stands, though. :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 29, 08:31 3
        
        I don't have the option of getting the supposed "best" pizza like New York style - J Mar 29, 08:36 2
        
        I don't recall ever having eaten Dominos. It gets dissed around here (victoria) quite a bit, though. - Beryllium Mar 29, 08:40 1
        
        no, seems to be just BC -- nm - J Mar 29, 08:42
        
        yeah, i think that's fair. -- nm - TFox Mar 29, 08:30
      - *blink* -- nm - Don Homer Mar 29, 08:28 3

  - no -- nm - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:26
- How can sex be terrible? I think this question is much different for girls than guys. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 29, 08:23 12
  - It smells of elderberries. -- nm - Max Mar 29, 08:35
  - " different" yes but much different? I dont' think so -if it's awful, its awful - you have had awful, awful sex right? Groiny help me out with the guy - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:25 4
    - sure it can be terrible for the guys, I mean, we will still get off, but corpse fucking is not really my bag - groiny Mar 29, 08:47
    - So, you are saying that "terrible sex" = "sex with groiny"? -- nm - Don Homer Mar 29, 08:26 1
      - I would never say that. haaa. - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:27
    - Even if it's terrible, guys can still put it in the spank bank for later - con_carne Mar 29, 08:26

- How about medioce relationship and mediocre sex? -- nm - amoxy Mar 29, 08:20
- define "terrible sex" -- nm - Don Homer Mar 29, 08:20 15
  - its not good and you wish you hadn't done while you were doing it. 1/2 the time you don't finish -- nm - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:22 12
    - yeah, this is a girl thing, guys finish most of the time, if not all. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 29, 08:24 7
      - I get that but what if , as a guy, you didn't finish half the time cause it's so horrible? I'm asking you to think of it like that. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:26 6
        
        finishing half the time wouldn't be bad at all for a girl. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 08:30 1
        
        agreed -- nm - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:33

        I totally am! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:43
    - but it still occurs "regularly"? -- nm - Don Homer Mar 29, 08:23 3
      - regular horrible sex? who are you people? but yes. - Epiphany Mar 29, 08:29 2
        
        for girls, when it's bad, it's really unpleasant. -- nm - loosilu Mar 29, 08:31
        
        We're wired differently. All our wires are connected to the penis. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 29, 08:30
  - define it yourself. --nm - terrible sex partner si Mar 29, 08:22
