Does it count if you have sex with only one woman at a time, but they are having sex with another woman at the same time too?

Just curious. I don't foresee this being a practical question.

Thanks for sharing!

Not that I have a list but seeing the Aurora Borealis from somewhere like northern Finland would be near the top. Also African photo safari would rank up there as well.
 
IMO 1. and 4. are really the same thing, or could be accomplished as 1 thing. Also I wouldn't necessarily get hung up on the top number, as that is just bragging rights. Focus on the feel of you, the car, and the road, that way you aren't let down because you only made it to 196MPH, which is still a lot faster than 99% of people drive on 2 or 4 wheels.

I would add go someplace where you can really feel history around you. Harder to do in the states, since our "history" is really no more than 300 years. I suppose a Getteysburg, Shilo, or Antietam might count. But my recommendation is more along the lines of...

Drive the Brenner Pass --- People have traveled thru, and fought to control that mountain valley since the caveman.
Visit Dachau, or Auschwitz, Not the most pleasant experience, but you can certainly feel that something big/important happened here.
Drive/Hike thru Thermopylae plain.
Machu Picchu
Great Wall of China
Certainly plenty of places in SE Asia/China/India
Flanders Field
Normandy
Battle of the Bulge

Someplace where it hits you "Something that changed the world (in a major way) happened here".
 
Great thread. My list:
Own a Porsche 911, drive it until it falls apart.
Skydive, HALO if at all possible.
Own an AR-15, reenact my favorite movie scenes.
Brew the perfect Belgian Dubbel.
Experience Jerusalem.
See the Pyramids.
Explore the history of Istanbul (not Constantinople).
Hike the Great Wall.
Take my baby girl to Paris.
Take my baby boy to Oktoberfest, help him get laid by a hot German girl in a Dirndl.

I have been so blessed in my life, I must brag a bit, I have:
Hiked the Swiss Alps (and the CO Rockies, where I live)
Performed high mass (I was a singer) at Notre Dame
Joined the Mile High club (HS was wonderful)
Eaten and gotten drunk in Paris, Vienna, Budapest, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, OK, too many to count.
Gone to Oktoberfest.
Partied at GABF until I couldn't remember it- met Sam C., Jim K., John P.
Drunk Westy 12.
Brewed some unbelievably good beers.
Driven a BMW 160 MPH.
Smoked lots of cigars in fantastic places.
Seen an opera from the "good seats" in Vienna.
Met Bob Hope, Cary Grant, and Gregory Peck.
Met tons of awesome craft beer fanatics- there's nothing like sharing a fantastic beer with someone who loves it as much as I do.

And I still hope to have a long path to travel in life.
 
Some of my Bucket List items: no particular order
1. Scuba Dive with a Whale and a Great White, not at the same time

3. Own my own plane
4. Sail the ocean to someplace
5. Drive across the US in cool old car with a friend
6. Break the sound barrier
7. Cross the Equator
8. See a game at Fenway Park
9. Not owe a bank any money

Some possible additions from previous posts
Bathe in Icelandic hot springs.
Go deep sea fishing.

Some things I would like to do

Get some friends together, rent a boat and sail around for a year. From up here around DC to the Caribbean and wherever else I may want to go.
Take a group of friends, rent some bikes and cruise across country seeing the sites, einjoying the ride.
Appalachian trail, even if taken in increments.
Wife, have some kids, share my passions with them.

Edited the list. I totally agree! I think 200 is a benchmark for me, to be honest but I would totally be happy with 199.9999999999999:D. I have gone 166 MPH in a car. I was driving a Jensen interceptor III with a built 440 Chrysler big block and a 6 pack pushing 562 HP. Hell I did 150 a few days ago in my SWMBO BMW 540I! Don't you dare tell her! I would have gone faster but ran out of pavement. I have gone 158 on a 2 wheel death trap and to be honest I wanted more! I do like speed :D I do also LOVE history! Not a "BUFF" but enjoy being in the moment when I am surrounded by it. Custards last stand was a memorial moment. as was Savannah, Atlanta, Cummings GA and little places around Tenn like the Battle of Shiloh etc and several other small community Civil War towns. I loved living in the south! I was single, made GREAT money, raced supercross on a Honda 250R and partied like a freeken rockstar!.. But onto the "bucket List". Love the lists you guys have and the list of "already did" holy sh!t some of you are traveled!

Keep em coming guys! I love it!

Cheers

Hate to be a party pooper, but how about a bit of introspection? Asking someone to fill out your bucket list is asking someone to dream your dreams for you.
 
Does it count if you have sex with only one woman at a time, but they are having sex with another woman at the same time too?

Just curious. I don't foresee this being a practical question.

Is there any way you can have sex with two women at the same time if the above does not count??? unless you have an extra appendage...:confused:

Ha ha ha.. Not asking you to fill it out for me.... Just asking to see yours. If something catches my fancy I just might add it to MY list...

Now about those dreams. So come on party pooper.. Let us see your list ;)
