dont have time to check the website i am sure it is fun to read them

Interesting website link.. thanks... hehe.. Did anyone read the article in this month's Time Out - Istanbul? It is about the research on the subject of "staying power after penetration" of men from different countries. Turks were at the bottom at about 3.7 minutes. British were at the top at about 7.6 minutes. This is a great article and discussion topic for intermediate to advanced TEFL classes.. Check it out..

[whynotme]

bullshit man ...see a usergroup called "turkishgirlfriendofbritishmen".... this might give you the exact idea who is really at the top or bottom

and i dont think it is a good idea to discuss it in the class, might be dangerous for you if they try to prove it all.

[whynotme]

beep = hey ...why do they censor the word hey?

[whynotme]

now not censored ...

If you look at the girlfriends of Turkish me site general discussion April they have a discussion about the staying power of Turkish men. These women seem to have a lot of experience and they put it down to two reasons. First they say it is the wham bam thank you man attitude and the lack of experience they find in Turkish men. Although they have reported some success in learner training.

These are truly scary....don't think I'll sleep tonight. They've posted pics of the men who've conned them!!!!

Moral of the story: Don't piss off your woman.
