Penis "shrinking" is actually a soft pubic fat that covers the appendage so not a problem for sex pushes (but the partner has complained about giving a head). Real obstacles is the huge belly and low stamina. Another problem is when a partner is obese too: it was almost impossible to reach female's organ from any position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-7377038325112744522016-05-23T07:25:48.303-05:002016-05-23T07:25:48.303-05:00When men get fat (these days type of fat), their p...When men get fat (these days type of fat), their penis shrinks. Also very fat men tend to not be able to hold an erection. So "a tergo" does not really work when there is a belly in the way and a small, flaccid penis involved. howdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05063469474831853991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-48442673418519414442012-03-15T09:21:38.247-05:002012-03-15T09:21:38.247-05:00Amazing post.

I suspect seated would be by far the preferable position in that case (assuming that Albertus' preferred seated sexual position allows the woman to be on top - but if it does, why isn't regular ole woman-on-top acceptable to him?).<br /><br />But then, that all depends on how Albertus' hypothetical couple arranged themselves for rear entry in the first place. Some variants would be more convenient than others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-82631769302237410672010-10-21T12:34:32.480-05:002010-10-21T12:34:32.480-05:00It's a bit difficult to tell from the picture ...It's a bit difficult to tell from the picture here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wallyg/2177024598/) but some armor belonging to Henry VIII is in the Metropolitan in NYC, and he was clearly shopping in the "Husky Monarchs" section. However, having been to the museum myself, I can't imagine that royal lance was limited to "a tergo" when he was tilting at Catherine Parr's quintain. Henry would no doubt have been imposingly broad-bellied, but not even close to requiring extraction by crane.Verulamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549228298718748858noreply@blogger.com
