Afterglow Debates

I remember debates
High school and college
Resolved-
Communism will fail
For and against
Research
Organization
Presentation skills
Great fun
But no preparation
For this:

Breathless
Dripping sweat
Heart rate high
And so things subside
Midst kisses, smiles
Comfortable snuggling

No confrontation to equal
"I thought you didn't like
your toes sucked"
"I didn't say that"
"Well how about this..."
"Mmmm, we didn't discuss that"

Fresh research pursued
New presentation skills tried
And continuing reversed order
New evaluations made
Debates to continue




The first duty of love is to listen.

I must of been absent for this lesson in Speech and Debate 101. LOL

Some find subtlety in strangers
some find subtlety alone
Your eyes,you see everything
my eyes,I see its all together now
and I know.

*smiling*! Learning is a continued experience, isn't it.

Well as a policy debater, I am almost scared to lose the poise that is put on for each round! But how wonderfully sexual this piece is... it almost sounds like debaters.
My truest compliments on a piece that I find very personal to me.

Except... I'm sure there must be a DA to go with this non-topical plan. We'll just say it links through reverse causality.

There are times - when I must depart from totally serious - thank you all for your replies in kind -
It is obvious to me you also enjoy knowing there is a real 'fun' side to the interplay between loves
