It isn't (though it mostly is lately), but you're taking the example far
too literally. I could just have easily said "on the bumper cars". ;^)

But (for me) the best is, though my bed doesn't have a canopy, my sheets
are cotton, and the music is more likely to be Jimmie Spheeris or Rufus
Wainwright (well, *she* likes Rufus Wainwright, anyway) or Let's Play
Music.

I've no firsthand knowledge of any bondage getups, sorry.

When I'm in scuba gear, I can't even see the buckle on my weight belt,
much less... well... you know.
This is quite literally a case of different strokes for different
folks. One thing I *would* like to know is if anyone has tried it in
microgravity conditions, like on the shuttle or the ISS. It sure seems
like somebody would have, in the interest of science. Hey, maybe I
could write up the experiment and get it funded...
But seriously, scuba diving takes constant attention to survival skills,
and there is one point in time in particular where I cannot think about
survival skills (or anything else) at all. I could quite easily drown.
I have heard that for some folks the threat of instant death can be an
aphrodisiac, but I'm not one of them.
Anyway, to each his/her own, but these are two experiences which I enjoy
immensely, the experience of which, when combined, would (for me) be
less pleasurable than when experienced separately. I like to give each
my undivided attention. YMMV.

I must be older than her and you, because the only Wainwright I ever found
enjoyable is his dad...Loudon.
Damn, the longer I am around the more hints life leaves as to my age!

I just remembered something...way back when, early 70's or so..he wrote a
song for his son and it appeared on his album Unrequited, the song was
titled "Rufus is a Tit Man".

Well, our 21 year old daughter introduced my wife to Rufus' music and
she loves it. It's not my cuppa, though; I'm more of a Deadhead.
I need a miracle every day,

Again, only if diving is a thrill ride for you. A lot of my warm water
diving is relaxing, beautiful, and wet and fishy. Perfect ingredients for
sex.

Get that underwater MP3 player and listen to whatever you like. The sound
of bubbles alone are enough to turn me on.

Don't apologize to me, apologize to your wife.

Me. Who else matters?

Diet and the sex will improve. No wonder you're having problems visualizing
it underwater.

Come on, we're talking warm water diving, not the real thing. Since when is
warm water diving a survival test?

When you scream out "yeah baby!" at the top of your lungs?

Don't be silly. Even at 40 feet and breathing heavily you'd probably have 20 minutes
or more. If you're worried that you'd run out of air, imagine what it was like for
these poor people:

Hmm, if ever there was a time to be a little quick on the trigger ...
