I just have to say that's a piece of fiction from those romance novels. I've heard tell of a few women enjoying themselves, but it all involved a specific kind of saddle and some concerted effort. The majority of us riders will tell you that the only sensation involved in the nether regions is usually pain.
Really? I'm mildly disappointed to find that out. To me it would explain women's fascination with horses (as I was kicked by a horse as a child I won't go NEAR them) because that would be the only thing that would get me to ride one.
Well shoot. PR, we need to find other sources for your amusement.
EDIT: Actually, msg - I think it is too explicit, as I generally try to stay PG-13. If you are that curious, look him up on photobucket. The .gif is actually on page 1. (Trying this, I actually shivered in yuckiness as I had to look at his pic. Disliking him is an intense feeling!)

Okay, now for the shower of pain. Just had to react to such a fine suggestion
*edit (I'm never gonna get that shower)*

Sorry to burst your bubble. MSG is correct, it's more about bruising and pain. My old trainer used to joke that her OB/GYN thought she was victim of a violent crime.
I think the fascination with horses is a big, pretty animal that is flighty and unpredictable. Horses are the ultimate 'bad-boy-that-needs-taming' fantasy...as well as the adrenaline rush, the "speed" aspect and the technicality of riding correctly.
Edited to say: I agree about Colin Farrel. The package was attractive at one point, but know he just seems disease-ridden, sloppy, drunk and just plain nasty.

Thanks...but no thanks. If I want to walk like a duck, I don't need a horse undern...NEVERMIND!
I've just never understood the draw of horses. I totally get what you are saying...but it just doesn't do it for me.
PR, You could be a Firefighter Supporter. Kind of like an Athletic Supporter, but more NicoCentric.
C'mon. Every man needs a little support now and then!

It did for someone...but I don't think she was riding the horse...
(that's Bette Davis if you can't see her clearly...)

Wow I leave you alone for a few and we get all animalistic :) LOL
PR- Seriously I think it'd be a riot! We could do a fire and a cleansing ritual and everything. I bet they'd all flee the building for fear the break room was contaminated by the evil aura of Satan.

You know that's a total urban legend about Catherine the Great, right? She liked stable boys, not horses. Filthy rumur mongers can't let a woman have any fun.

I wonder if we scared off the guys. Just us girls here, mostly.
This isn't an imponderable, but I was wondering if anyone could help. I'm thinking of changing my major to English, but I'm wondering what kind of versatility you would have with that kind of degree. There's always authourship (is that a word?) and journalism, but I don't see myself in those fields. So is there anyone with an English degree out there?

That would be me, deepgirl. BA in English, 1990 from the University of Maryland.
I can quite honestly tell you (except for managing a bookstore...whoo hoo on the career scale) my degree in Pre-Civil War American Literature comes in handy at 7:30 PM EST every night, when Jeopardy is on. But that's about it.
Unless you are good - and I mean a very good writer, it is hard to make money by writing. I've written many magazine articles and only sold 2 in my whole life. (I write non-fiction)That's about $300.
If I knew then what I know now, I would beg my past self to get a degree in accounting even though I had (then) absolutely no mathematical ability. I would LOVE to have a degree in Forensic Accounting. Now.
I would also have looked into something computer related - something more applicable to getting a job than knowing Hawthorne and Poe.
But then I come back to...would I have the same life I do now? Probably not, and I like my life now. Besides, I would have hated college if I had struggled through Accounting.
