    Oral or intercourse: which is more intimate?

    I've had this argument with many ppl. And it's been on my mind lately. My 'friend' seems to think oral is more personal, while his GF (virgin but gave alot of BJs) says intercourse is. I guess what I'm really asking is this: Would you prefer your gf/bf to have had only a few lovers or no lovers...

    The truth about cleavage!

    A girl I dated a few years ago looked like a C. When the bra came off it was an A cup! But size doesn't matter anyways.

    can't enable dma in win2k!

    Mine was PIO also until I installed the latest ATA drivers from Intel: here You may also want to install the latest Intel chipset software too. It made my system alot smoother since.:) EDIT: Um, that's if you have an Intel-based chipset. Am I brainwashed or what?

    Here in Canada, I'm paying $40 CAD which is like $25 US. I'm very broke right now, so I'm considering cancelling since I don't online game much anymore. And can someone remind me what its like to use dial-up?

    Poll: Win 2k ? Win ME? Win 98??

    Never had many problems with either, but the more I learn W2K, the more I prefer it. For both playing games (95% of time) and doing work (<1% of time). Dunno about language probs though.
