Tough question, Dive to survive or sex to keep from going crazy?
OOOHHH heck, I can eat coconuts!!!!!

[dennis mccarty]

I would give up diving on one day and sex on the other. Rotate...........best of both worlds!!! I am very indecisive like that.

Thanks Marci, Indecisive me, hell yea and I like it , love it and want more of it.

hmm, that wasn't me. i was the one talking about the rabbit.

and yes, there are waterproof models. i don't know about pressure ratings, but waterproof - yes.

I would have to say give up diving.. if your stranded and the island is deserted, how are you going to get your tanks re-filled to dive?

Then again if I'm stuck with someone I don't like, then I would take up snorkling or find some way to get out of the situation I was in...

I can't believe I actually had to think about this one! I would have to say that I would give up the sex. But then again, it would depend on who was on the island with me. :anna:

Hmmm, I think in all HONESTY, after a long while, it wouldn't matter who you were on island with, we would all go for the sex....

If you were stranded on an island, with a member of the opposite sex, and had to give up sex...or diving...which would you choose?

Hmmm, this was the question....

This was about two people of the opposite sex, stranded on an island. I meant no matter what they looked like, in time, I think nature would take over. I'm sorry if I stirred some deeper sexual issues within you.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, what you do , is your business.

[RICHinNC]

Late on this one....out on mission again....but the bottom line is.... I WOULD NEVER GET WET AGAIN !!!

How true, divin IS sex! No need to give up nothin!

Note to self: Next dive stay very far away from Dive Buddy.

That comment brought back the memory of a "have your cake and eat it too" situation I encountered just after my OW checkouts. It wasn't funny at all at the time, but now I laugh my butt off everytime I think about it.

It was July 3, 2005 - I won't forget it. Another diver from my LDS called me at work one day and said "Hey, it's been over a month since I've been in the water and I'd really like to hit the local lake. Steve said you might be looking for someone to dive with this weekend as well." Diving? You bet...I agreed and met him at the lake.

Now...this was a married diver, and yes, I did know his wife who is a really sweet lady and has been my buddy on occasion. She had just had surgery and couldn't dive, so she brought her lawn chair and sat under some trees reading her book while we got in the water. It was summer, so no wetsuit...just a bathing suit and my gear. We went here and there, and then eventually ended up on the training platform just hanging out playing with the fish. This guy pulls his reg out and looks at me. I'm thinking he's wanting to see if I can do it...just fresh out of my OW class and all and him being a former Navy diver and sometimes teaching assistant. So I copy him to show him that I'm capable of basic skills. Instead of a nod of approval, all of a sudden I've got a set of lips locked on mine! Woah big boy...back up!!! Ok, so I fumble around and get my reg back in my mouth and start to clear my mask (which is now flooded as a result of him pushing up against my face with the attempted kiss). As I tilt my head up to clear I feel a tugging on my BC. Yep, you guessed it! He's now trying to pull my gear off underwater! The guy is like a damned octupus and his hands are everywhere! Apparently "woah" wasn't enough! I'm pushing away and he's pulling me closer, reg is knocked out of my mouth, my quick releases on my shoulders are undone, my mask has fallen to the platform and he's now reaching for my chest strap!

Remember, I had just learned to hold my breath underwater without pinching off my nose literally, and mask remove and replace was a monumental task during my OW class. Thank goodness for auto-pilot! I'm now in survival mode.

To hell with fixing my gear - get away from this guy! Both hands are in his face and chest repeatedly poking and hitting until I'm lose and he's backed off. I've swallowed water, I'm choking and spitting, it's up my nose and burning, and I can barely see. Find the reg, get it in my mouth and get it purged! Now breathe! Apparently he's realized what a jerk he's been and how he's just about drowned me cause I look over to see his hand outstretched attempting to hand me my mask. I snatch my mask from his hands and start finning to the surface without even worrying about putting it back on.

Feeling "safe" on the surface, I inflate my BC and start reconnecting my shoulder straps and deciding if I should surface swim back to my entry point or get out right where I'm at and walk around the lake in my gear to get back to my truck. I'm also thinking of the woman, my friend, in the lawn chair. How I was so glad I wasn't her being married to this jerk! Damn...here he comes surfacing right beside me. He reaches out to help me with my gear and I really don't want this help. I have never struck a man, but I darned sure wanted to at that moment. I wanted to poke his beady little eyes out! "What is wrong with you?" His lame excuse was that his wife was laid up and it had been so long, and he just wanted to see what it was like to have sex and dive at the same time! Of course he was also worried about whether or not I was going to tell his wife. Now who's in charge? "We're gonna descend to 20ft, navigate from here directly to the steps in the swim area and I'm getting out. What you tell her is up to you, but we're done diving!"

So hey...why give up either? Some people out there believe they can do both at the same time!

Well, you can do both... but he should have waited and done it with his wife! Next time... fin him in the goobers and poke his eyes out when they bug out! Sad thing is... your friend is probably still married to the jerk and he's pulling that crap on someone else!

[normblitch]

Simultaniously??

Norm

Well, I can always have sex with myself and still dive!

I thought that was where you and Larry...

Oh, NEVER MIND!!

I just wanted to be clear and make sure you didn't have any expectations if we were to be alone together for any length of time
