Victoria?s Not So Secrets

More Then One Way To Milk A Cow

This week is much better emotionally compared to last week.  When a friend of mine read my previous article regarding my not being able to have sex on my knees, he commented that he never thought about that.  His comments made me think of other ways to well, ummm, do the same thing.

On a swing?Yes. That is right.  A guy I dated who is now one of my best friends, has a swing bolted to the ceiling of his loft.  It?s no plastic swing; this is the good old-fashioned elementary school swing set kind of swing. Although we never actually had ?sex? (another friend, well ?Tom?) disputes my definition of ?sex?, there was plenty of action on that swing.  While he sat on the swing, I straddled him.  The swing was the perfect height not to put any strain on my knees.

Chair?Kind of the same as the swing.  I have also used a piano bench!  However, a woman wishing to accomplish this must be able to straddle the guy.  So assuming the woman isn?t 5?0? and 90 pounds, engaging in sex with a wide linebacker, it is possible.  Another way this works is if the guy has his butt on the corner of the bed, he is on his back, and the woman straddles him.  Also, your knees must be able to carry your weight to go up and down.  Basically ya gotta do some work!

Well that is the short of it.  Not much more to do?or is there?  Hey, if anyone has any other ways to ?milk the cow, skin the cat, etc? which simulates a woman on top on her knees, please email me.  I am sure there are wondering arthritics out there.  I am.  Finally, if there is anyone, and I mean anyone, who has had bilateral hip and knee replacements that can do this?let me know for God?s sake.  That means I am going to!  If it can be done, Victoria is the one.
