For adults on an adult-oriented site, it sure seems some of the members here are not sexually openminded. So what if you do not like shemales? There are many shemale escorts working who have a large and loyal client base and their clients are MEN. Is there anything wrong with that? Shemales may not be your cup of tea but does that mean no one else should drink tea?

That is all, old sports.

This may be true, young Gatsby, but this isn't a porn site and, as difficult as you may find this to believe, there are folks on this site that just aren't seeking out that kind of pictorial entertainment. Nevertheless, it is a site where you are free to post almost anything you want (within reason). Each of us has the option to avoid any thread we choose, so post away!

puck ruck suck tuck yuck fuuuuuuuu (DNR)
Context is lost on the internet. When things are not accompanied by either a :D or :) or ;). People get misinterpret things. If the image was not to be seen, then it would have been removed by the mods. This might not be a "porn" site , but I am always surprised when people get offended here in the Lounge, when, just a few clicks aways are graphically detailed stories of people who have paid for sex.

Now that being said. Can I post this here, or should I make a new thread?



The Dutch equivalent of Santa Claus arrived in the Netherlands on Saturday to the delight of thousands of children. But even as the Sinterklaas festival kicked off around the country a group gathered in downtown Amsterdam to protest one element of the party they see as unwelcome: his assistant in blackface makeup, Black Pete.

In the Dutch holiday tradition, St. Nicholas arrives by steamboat in mid-November and spends a month in the country with dozens of the Petes, who are clown-like figures that leave cookies, chocolate and other treats for children. The whole affair culminates in a night of gift giving on Dec. 5.

Protesters say the Petes -- who wear blackface makeup, red lipstick and frizzy "Afro" wigs -- are blatant racist caricatures and should be banned. But the large majority of Dutch people feel there is no racial insult intended by Black Pete. They say he's a positive figure of fun and that the dissent is a sign of political correctness gone overboard.

The debate over the figure has gone on for years, but it is now electrifying -- and polarizing -- the Netherlands as never before.

"The world is watching, and the Netherlands has been found wanting," anti-Pete protester Quinsy Gario told a group of about 300 supporters in Amsterdam.

Gario, an artist who has emerged as the public face of the anti-Pete movement, has been subjected to unprintable insults as well as death threats. But at Saturday's protest he had trouble speaking at times over supporters chanting his name.

He said the growing support underlines the change the national debate over Black Pete has recently undergone. Two years ago Gario was thrown face down on the concrete by police and dragged away for daring to merely wear a T-shirt with the text "Black Pete is Racism" near the place where Sinterklaas was due to arrive.

The debate exploded in the national media this year after it emerged that a panel of U.N. cultural experts was examining whether the tradition is racist. Some anti-Pete activists have suggested his blackface should be replaced with black smudges, since children are usually told his face has become black from going down chimneys.

A few weeks ago, more than 2 million people responded to remarks critical of the Dutch tradition by a U.N. expert by endorsing a Facebook petition to keep Zwarte Piet's image unchanged. That's nearly one-eighth of the entire Dutch population, indicating the depth of emotion over this issue in a country where religious or political debates often are met with a shrug.

On the outskirts of Saturday's demonstration in Amsterdam, two white Dutch women from Haarlem watched with bemusement.

"I'm for it, and my daughter is against," said Belinda Cortez. "But we can laugh about it."

"We laugh, but I really do get mad," said her daughter, Gina. "I think the tradition really needs an update."

What is Christmas without fruit cake served with a nice fresh hot load of thick and creamy ooey-gooey shemale cum?

I wouldn't be so hard on yourself. Christmas spirit seems to be lacking here. :nod:
