I'm not a size-queen. Really... I'm not. I don't need a nine-inch dick, let alone a twelve-inch monster, to satisfy me. All I need is an average length penis with average girth to fill me up pleasantly and wonderfully. I don't need an extra large instrument to literally prise me apart... I'm serious!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, I finally discovered the limits of my tolerance. The &lt;strong&gt;lower limits&lt;/strong&gt;, that is! I went to bed with a 6'2" tall, relatively big-sized white guy and discovered, when I unzipped his trousers, .... surprise! surprise! &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.5 inches&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;! Hard! And no thicker than a 20 sen coin! And very veiny at that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... let me tell you what I learnt:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) It's not pleasant sucking on a short hard veiny dick. It was like sucking on a &lt;em&gt;dry tree branch&lt;/em&gt; instead of a luscious, healthy, meaty body part - think an extra thick pencil! And because it was so small, there was quite a bit of extra room in my mouth. I started to wonder why bother?!? There was almost nothing to suck on...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2) You know how some people say that the difference between a small and a big dick is a tickle and a fuck?!? Well... it's true! He slipped it inside and like Samantha (of Sex &amp;amp; the City), I went: "is that it?!?" And when he pumped me, my brain started thinking: "Is that a finger rubbing me inside?!? I'm not feeling what I should be feeling...!" I let him fuck me &lt;em&gt;twice&lt;/em&gt; just to be sure I wasn't imagining things... but I quickly sent him home after that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lesson learnt? Never go to bed with a man who has less than 5 inches unless all we end up doing is have him suck me off!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7994581-111572708971794024?l=bumbung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/111572708971794024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/111572708971794024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bumbung.blogspot.com/2005/05/mr-25.html' title='Mr 2.5&quot;'/><author><name>the bum bung</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994581.post-110465852735206314</id><published>2005-01-02T17:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-01-02T17:35:27.353+08:00</updated><title type='text'>men and drinks</title><content type='html'>my take on men and their drinks...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;british men are like their tea -

I thought I would catch his attention and flirt with him, hoping that it would lead to more. Sadly, he was buried in his phone throughout the entire 20-minute journey. He was either sending SMSes or playing some high-tech game. Or his phone must have been extremely attractive. At any rate, we didn't lock eyes and soon he got off the train.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mobile phones are really killing the gay scene. You can hardly cruise anyone anymore. Everyone's too busy with SMSes or games to pay any attention to anyone around them. At least if they are making calls, their eyes would still scan around - but honestly, how many people use their mobile phones for phone calls these days?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gone are the days when you could walk around town and have a bit of fun cruising guys. Now you have to SMS them first before you'd catch their attention. And then you'd end up flirting virtually instead of doing IT for real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7994581-110197615080399642?l=bumbung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/110197615080399642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/110197615080399642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bumbung.blogspot.com/2004/12/mobile-phones-and-cruising_02.html' title='mobile phones and cruising'/><author><name>the bum bung</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994581.post-110172637217968264</id><published>2004-11-29T19:03:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-29T19:06:12.180+08:00</updated><title type='text'>shopping like a woman</title><content type='html'>i bought a small black bag at isetan on sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;did i need a bag?&lt;br /&gt;no&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;did i want a bag?&lt;br /&gt;no&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so, why did i buy a bag?&lt;br /&gt;dunno. it was there. it was on sale. it looked nice. i had nothing else to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh god. i'm begining to shop like a woman!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7994581-110172637217968264?l=bumbung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/110172637217968264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/110172637217968264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bumbung.blogspot.com/2004/11/shopping-like-woman.html' title='shopping like a woman'/><author><name>the bum bung</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994581.post-109992260924916473</id><published>2004-11-08T22:02:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-08T22:03:29.250+08:00</updated><title type='text'>jerk!</title><content type='html'>men can be such pricks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've been chatting and talking to this sexy looking older man for a few days when he pulled a stupid stunt on me last night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we were talking on the phone when i called him an "idiot" and said "go away" - all in jest, of course. but he took me seriously! the idiot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he hung up. i tried calling him back, but his line was "busy". i sent him a few SMSes with funny but appeasing messages. i tried calling him again a couple of times, but no answer. in fact, it's been 24-hours and i still haven't heard from him at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what a jerk!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;sudah-lah&lt;/em&gt;! i don't need to suffer such rubbish. especially not from a man who i haven't yet met, who's attached (but not getting any from his boyfriend) and who is unemployed with no visible sources of income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if he's trying to play harder to get than a nun - he'd better think again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;men!! honestly!&lt;br /&gt;who do they think they are?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7994581-109992260924916473?l=bumbung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/109992260924916473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/109992260924916473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bumbung.blogspot.com/2004/11/jerk.html' title='jerk!'/><author><name>the bum bung</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994581.post-109928231133522157</id><published>2004-11-01T13:06:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-11-01T12:20:04.543+08:00</updated><title type='text'>pink alert!</title><content type='html'>ooo. parties&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pink Alert!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14 November 2004, Sunday (Hari Raya Eve)&lt;br /&gt;9 pm till late&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;em&gt;Orange Club&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/u&gt;

We were "going out" in my final year at university, i.e. we were either shagging madly like dogs, satisfying our testosterone-induced urges, on a daily basis. Lurid and sensational as that was, that's not what I want to tell you today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went our separate ways after university. I saw him the odd time or two in the first year and then he disappeared from my radar after that. Until yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there we were hugging and grinning insanely at each other like inmates at a psychiatric ward, when I proposed coffee at Dome to "catch up". In truth, I was horny as hell and I wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to put my moves on him - after all, as I recall, he was quite good in bed. And in the bathroom, the car, the kitchen, the bushes at the far end of the park...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We started yakking, yakking, yakking when suddenly he burst out: "I've got a girlfriend!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was flabbergasted. I stared at him for a good minute and then batted my eyelids before going, "what?!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt;: I've gone straight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt;: you're joking!???!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt;: no, really. I'm going out with this girl now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt;: gay men don't go straight...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt;: well... I'm not sure if I really was gay...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(proceeds to tell me his life's story)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt;: so, you mean to tell me you're not turn on by men anymore?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt;: hmm.... no. not really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt;: and that year we were fucking like crazy... you didn't like it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt;: err... I enjoyed it. It was good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt;: it was only "good"?!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt;: come on... of course I had fun. I was actively participating in it remember?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;(not convinced)&lt;/em&gt; but you wouldn't do it again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt;: err... probably not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;(starting to feel infuriated)&lt;/em&gt; so, you didn't find me attractive at all then? you had such a bad time with me you just had to turn straight?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt;: That's not true! I thought you were sexy. That's why we were together for a whole year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;(still fishing)&lt;/em&gt; but I was such a turn off towards the end, you had to defect to the other camp?&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt;: What are you trying to get at? Look, you're really sexy. In fact, I still think you look very good and I'd probably still have sex with you. It's just that I think I'm straight now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;me&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;(seizing the opportunity)&lt;/em&gt; you'd probably still have sex with me...?!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll leave the rest of the conversation out of this. But I was shocked. Completely surprised. Yes, "straight" men discover the joys of male sex and turn gay all the time. In fact, almost every day. I should know... But gay men don't turn straight? That never happens...?!? What's the world coming to? What does this say about homosexuality? More importantly, what does &lt;strong&gt;this&lt;/strong&gt; say about me?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7994581-109288515389514392?l=bumbung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/109288515389514392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/109288515389514392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bumbung.blogspot.com/2004/08/gay-man-gone-straight.html' title='gay man gone straight'/><author><name>the bum bung</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994581.post-109284308467874029</id><published>2004-08-18T23:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-08-19T00:24:02.843+08:00</updated><title type='text'>i've moved!</title><content type='html'>the bum bung's "&lt;a href="http://bumbung.thebumbung.com"&gt;tearoom&lt;/a&gt;" has had to be moved due to cost issues... alas, yes, even us gay men have money problems although our shopping patterns seem to suggest otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my previous very generous host has decided to shut down &lt;a href="http://www.thebumbung.com"&gt;www.thebumbung.com&lt;/a&gt; and i've been put out into the streets! fortunately, blogger is still free. unfortunately, i can't seem to import any of my previous posts into blogger. not happy. but there you go.&lt;br /&gt;a chance to start all over again.&lt;br /&gt;a whole new life.&lt;br /&gt;a brand new existence.&lt;br /&gt;a new me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a new tearoom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7994581-109284308467874029?l=bumbung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/109284308467874029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7994581/posts/default/109284308467874029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bumbung.blogspot.com/2004/08/ive-moved.html' title='i&apos;ve moved!'/><author><name>the bum bung</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
