Holy loving gross ...

quote:

1. Find a spot as out of sight as possible. Turn away from other people if possible.
2. Place your legs slightly apart. A small space between your feet is best.
3. Reach up under your skirt and pull your underwear up tight. Practice will show you how tight this needs to be. (See tips below)
4. Squat down on your heels. Remember to keep the back of your skirt out of the way.
5. Tilt your pelvis forward. You want to make the crotch of your underwear the lowest point.
6. Urinate hard through your underwear. (See tips below)
7. When finished, just stand up and calmly walk away. Your underwear will dry quickly if you allow air to get to it.

quote:

Keep your THIGHS PARALLEL AND PRESSED TIGHTLY TOGETHER. This will direct your urine through the crotch and seat of your underwear and pants. Your pants will take longer to dry and will smell a little more.

quote:

Courtesy peeing is addictive. The better you get at it the more you will want to do it.
You may find yourself shopping specifically for underwear you enjoy peeing in and through.

I think this is absolutely it, yeah. Lines like this, from "how to pee directly through your jeans"

If you have thought ahead you will be wearing tight underwear and jeans or pants that are tight in the crotch.

are what really make that clear to me. "Thought ahead"? Like you had planned that morning to pee yourself in public sometime later, and wore the appropriate underwear? No one who isn't into it sexually does that. This is some fetishist, possibly female but far more likely male, jacking off while writing about all the different ways that women can pee in their pants.

e: yeaaah once you get to the end and the part about how "you may find yourself doing it more and more! you may even become addicted to it!" it's clear beyond a shadow of a doubt what's going on. It's edited by Rock2000, Mel and Genius_Knight.....yeaaaah.

How to meet Russian women in three simple steps!

Step one: learn Russian!

Step two: go to Russia!

Step three: find a Russian woman... in Russia... by speaking Russian!

quote:

Tips

Act normal.
Don't continue the conversation if they start doing other things or seem annoyed.
Use common sense.
Go to Russia.

Warnings

Don't go up to someone who appears to be in a hurry, or would otherwise not be desirable to speak with.

A small part of me wants to believe this article was made by some Russian tourism bureau.

Oh, look, how to pierce my own cock!

quote:

6. Depending on the piercing, it might be useful to buy a pair of clamps as well. Sometimes it can be very difficult to hold the head how you want it, especially in places like the scrotum or the shaft of the penis. These clamps allow you to mark your spot, then clamp the skin just how you want it so you don't have to worry about it slipping and moving while you are trying to pierce.

quote:

8. First you must decide on a location to get your piercing done. The best place is at a local piercing shop. They know what they are doing and are trained in sterilization techniques. Since you're reading this, it's safe to assume that you plan to do the piercing by yourself at home. In this case, choose an area with a good bit of flat space that you can work with and a good counter. The bathroom is a good place.

quote:

13. Use a marker to make 2 dots, one where you want the needle to go in, and one where you want the needle to come out. Make sure that these dots are a suitable distance apart for your jewelry. Take a step back and imagine it with jewelry in it. Make very sure that it is straight and just how you want it because it is definitely a pain to have to take it out and redo it all over again.

quote:

20. Now, take a couple of deep breaths, check to make sure you're lined up correctly and quickly push the needle through the skin till you see it poking through the other side at least a centimeter or two.

But don't get too confused, some girls are just usually happy and startled. But if you're confident; make the first move and ask her to talk to you after class.
