      @@mug4009 Almost any way you touch his penis will turn him on - if he's attracted to you, and often even if he isn't, this is almost a sure bet.
      The thing is that every guy is different in what they like most, and the timing and pace of what they prefer. So let him know you want him to let you know (verbal, non-verbal, showing) when you are doing things he does and doesn’t like (the “does” will likely be covered with moans and changes in breathing).
      Among the things you can try:
      Dry penis and hand: touch the penis, surround the shaft with your fingertips and lightly run them up and down the shaft; hold the penis like you would a carrot, just behind the head and just tight enough that the skin slides with your hand, slide your hand up and down over the head (a “hand job”).
      Do the above with a lubricant - some hand lotions work, or there are sexual lubricants that are better (water based, they won't degrade a condom if you get to sex later).
      Play with his balls however you can think to; do be careful not to squeeze too hard, but the balls in the sac and the sensitivity of the skin can lead to a lot of fun.
      Use your mouth on his penis and balls (a “blow job”). Take the head of the penis into your mouth, use your saliva to get it wet. Use your tongue on the head and shaft. Move up and down on the shaft taking as much into your mouth as you can. Use your hand to stroke his wet shaft while your mouth works on the head or his balls.
      A couple things for you to know:
      He's likely to cum (ejaculate). This will make him very happy, and may startle you until you learn the signs it is coming. It's not dangerous. You can’t get pregnant if the cum is in your mouth (and face), only if it gets to your vagina. Some women love the taste of semen, and some don't.
      He is very likely going to want to have sex, too. It's best if you discuss your boundaries if that's not something you want to do. If it is something you want to do, or in case you might change your mind, have a condom available and use it. Yes, you can get pregnant the first time!

A few keys have the texture worn off, but still works great. I like the older keyboard as there is a bit of resistance. I learned to type on an old style typewriter...yes I am old, so I prefer a bit of resistance.

    Pretty good over view with decent references. I wish you had actually demonstrated the lubing process instead of just saying "less is more." Based on my limited experience I feel it's important to know where to apply the lube and understanding some basic techniques would be nice.
    There is honestly enough information to cover that many of these topics could be a follow up video of their own, and would have made for a fun series.
    Maybe this is something you could do this year since there is so much variety on the market, with many more custom keyboard options.

    60% keyboards are not referred to as "Poker". The "Poker X" or its followup "Poker 2" are specific models manufacturerd by Vortex and designed by KBC. There are many other 60% boards like the Pure Pro, GON NerD 60, KBP V60, Leopold FC660M, Ducky Mini and so on.

    I understand the idea behind ten keyless keyboards but those 60% ones seem quite limited in their application

    • @GodOfMacro
      @GodOfMacro 10 лет назад +13

      Imagine some one who would be used to have no shift key on his keyboard and 2 times more keys. They would think your keyboard is silly and is missing a lot of keys !
      But you really aren't. Learning layouts seems a bit complexe at first but you gain a lot of confort.
      Hitting a mod and an homerow key is easier than having to move your hand out of and back to the homerow.
      (ps i use a 40% keyboard and it's quite powerfull)

      GodOfMacro Wow, just googled 40% keyboard, these things are tiny. Is backspace and return really on the same key? And do they have the "european" return key, I could never use those tiny asci versions, and then I wouldnt have öäüß keys.

    • @Fnzzy
      @Fnzzy 10 лет назад

      They have all the keys that a tenkeyless keyboard has, just on a function layer. 1 - 9 become F1 - F9, WASD become arrow keys and so on.

    • @Cyortonic

      Because Poker the name of the size, not the brand.

    (I always thought ABS was the most expensive key-caps.)
    For gamers, I'd recommend using the PBT (durable) plastic on your WASD and (left-side) shift keys.
    Why? Good question: I've had a Razer BW keyboard (was free) for 4-5 years, and on the keys I just mentioned the letters have completed faded away, so instead of letters being lit-up by the blue light, there are these HUGE blue blotches of light. It's just gross.

    • @masterninjahh

      @ipullstuffapart 8 лет назад +1

      The gold plating is only there to stop oxidation. Connections plated with other non-reactive metals would also perform admirably. Non-plated connections may suffer unstable connections if the connector was to move frequently, although non-plated connectors are very uncommon. The performance of any type of non-reactive metals will be essentially identical, with Gold actually falling by the way-side after multiple insertions due to its soft nature.
