| Hey all, I am taking a hiatus for a coupla months. I am leaving for Yogaville and then have some school stuff that needs to be attended to, as well as moving 3000 miles. I hereby appoint GJ and afroyogi as the evil clowns in my absence. Take care everyone! Prem & Om Anya |

| Taking off a couple of months and getting Thai Massage sounds great, especially for your IT band. I was just reading about Yogaville on Rick Ross' website. Well, just be on your guard. I hope you have a great and healing experience.

I challenge AfroYogi to a forum flamewar to the DEATH for the position of head evil clown. Muhahahahaha! ;)
FWIW, I've also read some of the yogaville stuff on Rick Ross's site, and I don't think it's all that bad. My teacher's been there a number of times, and if there were any issues I'm sure she would have said something. OTOH, it's always wise for a single woman traveling alone to a strange place to be careful. (Same goes for single guys, but not to the same extent. )

| Hi gang. Just wanted to check in to say that Yogaville was awesome. if they are a cult, they are really very bad at it. Quite frankly, I am a little disappointed that I wasn't invited to any sex parties or cult goings on. there are Swamis that have been there for years and none tryed to brainwash me at breakfast or anything. I personnaly think Rick Ross is a tool, but whatever. Yogaville is a great community, if you want to get away for a coupla days to deepen your practice, especially meditation practice. there are several places to meditate and morning and evening programs, pujas, chanting, Gita classes, etc. it is quite spiritual but that can be a good thing. and the LOTUS temple is amazing. they do a lot for the surrounding county which is one of the poorest in VA., by bringing jobs, tourists, etc. as well as Non denominational charity work. It's also very affordable to go. "Truth is one. Paths are many'" ~ Swami Satchitananda take care, Anya Ps. what with the arousal thread and the nakedness, Yoga.com should be on the cultwatch website. Keep up the good work! |

Gee, where's the fun in that? I'd ask for my money back if I was you.

Agree/disagree. I find it hard to decide exactly where he's coming from. It bothers me greatly that he makes his living "busting" cults, but he does have some good information on his website. I guess I don't have any problem with people giving out factual information, which is what most of it appears to be, but I do have a problem with people interfering in each other's lives. I also think he's sincere in what he believes, I just don't agree with him on a lot of things. Ps. what with the arousal thread and the nakedness, Yoga.com should be on the cultwatch website. Keep up the good work! Woot! Always wanted to join a cult! Who's going to lead us in the ways of brainwashing and group sex? |

| Good to hear you enjoyed Yogaville.
I don't think any words of caution were to imply that Yogaville is a dangerous cult that's bad for you. I am just cautious of who I am around when I meditate; there are some yogis, swamis and monks who can invade your space in an icky way. It adds insult to injury when you pay for it  !
As much as I enjoy the physical act myself, I hope yoga.com doesn't focus too much on threads of a sexual nature. It's a bit salacious and can be a slippery slope on the 'net, you know, with all the sexually explicit stuff out there.

That's a very good point. I'm starting to get annoyed with all the tourists through our local circle. I understand that people have to start somewhere, but it's getting a bit annoying to have to deal with a steady stream of looky-loos.

You're probably correct, I'll try and tone it down a bit.

If I do, they're likely to disavow the whole thing anyway. (And they wonder why men behave like jerks. )

Just thought I'd verify that there is still an "oriental massage" forum.

Dunno.... what is an oriental massage? Where would I get one?
Could I tell my wife if I did? These are important questions, and
this forum hasn't really gotten around to them. |

When you massage an oriental.
Where would I get one?
*censored*

Probably not. Do you really need to ask?
These are important questions, and
this forum hasn't really gotten around to them.
How tall is dark?

It's probably a one-handed massage. |

I'd like to, but my gut says she's not coming back. If you're bumping this thread in hopes that she will, you're going to be here quite a while. |

| I could never hold a grudge against someone thinking "oriental massage" was a cover for prostitution, especially GJ. The ads for oriental massage crack me up b/c they always say the massage therapists are young, beautiful girls. That's really important when you're dealing with sciatica.
Acupressure, tui na, shiatsu, ashiatsu, chi nei tsang - all names of specific massages that come from an Asian tradition. You can keep your clothes on for most of these massages; and they're very therapeutic. The acupressurist I go to walks all over me and it feels so goood! There's nothing like being massaged by someone's feet. |

Location: A Blue State | I personally think that "young, beautiful girls" are boring. Reminds me
of a song:
(music swells, Bay Guy walks to center stage, holding a single rose,
wearing his checked jacket with an open collar, and sits on the edge of
a tall stool...think El Gallo in The Fantastiks... or maybe just Dean Martin
departing from the Rat Pack)
Give me an older woman, every time, every time
Yes, give me an older woman every time.
'Cause they don't yell and they don't tell
and they're grateful as hell,
so give me an older woman every time
(Bay Guy runs from center stage as the tomatos fly and
the liberated women attack...)
...with regrets to Benny Hill --- and my Uncle, who alway said that "tell" should be "swell".

| Well... I really don't care how beautiful they are, so long as their fingers are strong. I'm a very dense sort of guy, it takes quite a bit to penetrate these muscules.
As far as it being a front for prostitution, wellll..... sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes it gets you impeached! |

| I agree that older people are sexier - men and women. I think it's the confidence level. Other than not having wrinkles, most 20-somethings seem to have very little to offer in the romantic realm. They're too self-centered. Yes, I know every 20-something reading this is going to tell me how bad I am...but it's just my observation and opinion.
I'm totally straight but I find women in their 40s absolutely sexy and beautiful. I think Bo Derek looks much more beautiful now than she did when she was in "10". She has little lines around her eyes that soften her face and give her the appearance of having wisdom, intellect and experience. She looks like a person you'd want to have a conversation with. Is Paris Hilton capable of having a conversation?
One thing I wonder about older men with younger women: are the men using the younger women like Viagra? I mean do they need a young woman to look at in order to get aroused? Frankly, I don't get the whole older woman and younger guy thing. Ashton Kutcher is cute but he would get on my last nerve. What does Demi see in him? Remember, Ashton has that awful Punk'd show!
