a guy goes into a whorehouse and gets a woman. they adjourn to a private room. the woman excuses herself to the powder room the attend to some pre-coitis functions. when she returns she finds the man sitting in a chair in the corner, masturbating furiously.
"what are you doing?", she asks in a slightly indignant tone.
"hey lady", the guy replies"for $100 you don't think you're gonna get the easy one, do you?"

After sifting through the replies, I can see where many people may have mis-read my intent with this post.
This is not a mockery of any type of climbing.
It is the revealing of one mans own set of fears while hanging at a belay ledge, hoping his partner can cut the ropes safely so they get back down and he has the chance to see his wife and kids again.
As I sat there half mad at myself for getting the rope stuck, and half bewildered why a middle aged man would come up this forsaken way time and time again, I could not help but to chide MYSELF at how I had an attitude before about bouldering.
I lived boudering. I moved to El Paso and lived there so I could go to Hueco everyday. I just used to like to make fun of bouldering at the Gunks as a way of making myself feel more valid about my own climbing choices, that's all.
Of course, people bouldered at the Gunks before J Gill even. But as a person that lives there still, the real push seemed to come in the mid 90's when pads and new styles and techniques coalesced with a new breed of climbers.
There may have been no real jumping off point, but I do remember Ivan Green coming back from France in 95 or so and really starting to use his "new glasses." Like Ms. Parks, this is a point of departure, in my mind.
The Illustrious Buddha problems set a new standard and since then it has taken off along the carriage road.
Sometimes when I am up on the walls I wonder why I am not down on the ground, falling off a V6 in between hits and a bite of a sandwhich while enjoying the company of my peeps.....that's all. Sometimes vice versa.
We all judge....but I think examinination of what leads us to our judgements is an interesting thing. Some do not care for introspection, much though they may profess their fondness for it.
It was supposed to be a grass is greener thing, not a threat to anyone.

Way to make the full circle. I wondered what this post was about when I saw the title. Took a few days to get to it though. Keep it real.

I was wondering where this was going, and after reading it makes perfect sense. Never been to the Gunks, but that is how I feel about a lot of places.
To me bouldering is more of a diversion than a destination.

Just an awsome post!!!
I guess I am really a multi pitch trad guy........married without child.
Funny how thats my preferance too. I have recently found that any climbing will do (to cure the fix) from bouldering to long multi pitch.
Nice full serving of mental food for climbing thoughts.
Please keep serving it.................Dr..............I'm always hungry!

I am glad you got something out of this thread. However (and in spite of drkodos clarifying this on the previous page) you have missed the real point he was trying to make.
As I posted previously, roped climbing at Hueco Tanks is also like masturbating in a whorehouse. Get it now? Its not whatcha go there for. :wink:

Ok I see it. When I said it makes sense after reading, I was talking about the tilte after reading the original post. I was on break at work and didn't have time to read the entire thread.
Now that I have read the entire thread, I must say, the good doctor's post on the previous page was very well articulated. The thoughts couldn't have come across more clearly after reading that post.
Great thread. (now that I understand it)

I want to go on public record with my unhappiness that the title had to be changed.
Any one that feels the same would do us all a favor and let management know how they feel. Apparently ONE mod had a problem with the title.
Do you people want just one or two people deciding what is out there for us?
Let your voices be heard or suffer the stiffling of creative freedoms.
There was another thread about solo speed climbing that had it's title changed as well. For shame. These are real climbers telling real stories of real climbing experiences. Fresh off the cliff. What are you people afraid of?
You lurkers out there...get your fingers warmed up and send out some PM's and let these good people know you want to read the real stuff. Not some punch and judy marionette act.
Those of you that cannot handle your own personal shame of being sexual creatures should stay off the streets and cliffs of life and stick to the white picket fences and middle American fanatsies of yesteryear where everyone wore a smile face as a vaneer hiding an inner depravity that could not be satiated.

While I thought your original post was a self-agrandizing piece of fantasy, i.e. laying claim to originating a well-known cliché, I do have to admit that it's incredibly prurient to have to change the title.
I have to ask, what word offended? Masturbating? Whorehouse? Bouldering? Gunks?

Changing the title of this thread appears to be bull shit.
But this is what censors do.
Kodos, you're just too vulgar. Zee Style Police have deemed you unfit.

Hey Kodos, the substitution title sucks. Next time, try one of these:
They Made Me Change It
Pivot Man in a Circle Jerk
Self Gratification in a House of Ill-Repute
Solo in a Brothel
Palm Warts and Hookers
The Claw and the Clam (hehe)
Roxanne! You don't have to put on a red dress.
Censors Suck!
Vanilla

and the ever popular...
The Thread That Lost Its Title
Cheers

Wait a minute ... what's all this talk about masturbation? I must have somehow gotten accidentily logged on to www.masturbating.com. You'll have to excuse me, I was looking for www.rockclimbing.com.
Anyways, have fun here at www.masturbating.com. Each to his own. Me, I gotta run.
A related thought: what does the typical user profile look like at www.masturbation.com? No wait, I guess we're all better off to just let that thought pass.

Well said "drkodos"!
I was saying the same thing on half dome with two of my closest buds. I was torn between the beauty of the moment as we looked across the valley from Big Sandy and the moon was rising. I thought " isn't this incredible that I am here right now experiencing this moment". After that I shoved a dry cliff bar down my parched, water deprived gullet and wished to be home with my wife and son!!! Actually, I wished to be anywhere but there!!!
It is interesting to me why and how we climb and how those reasons are somewhat amorphic. Now that I approach 40, my reasons are entirely different but I enjoy climbing no less and I still refuse to back off. It is a great sport with great people and I can only hope that I am still clinging to the cliffs by fingertip and foot when I am 70!! :wink:

Feck knuckle. Talk to Richard Gotllieb at Rock and Snow, the new Mayor of the Gunks. He will set you straight. The line was accredited to him in a magazine. He has admitted "borrowing it" from me.
Here is the phone number: 845 255 1311. Ask for Richard Gottlieb. Ask him who the first was to use the phrase in connection with bouldering in the Gunks. Go ahead and get back to me you worthless wank.
I resent your post and insinuations, and if you are unwilling to verify what I stated than feck you and do not cross my path in the real world.
I have chunks of guys like you in my stool.

Now this really sucks.
APPARENTLY you can post all day about bukkake,( including links to disgusting pictures),the meaning of which I learned on this site, and which I find repulsive, but you CAN"T try to meet members of the opposite sex, or quote lines from famous authors, without taking a drubbing.

In reply to: Okay, numbnuts. I promise to ask him as long as you promise to go back on your meds. Now, when you say "Mayor of the Gunks," I have to ask, ONCE AGAIN, where is this town of which you speak? Because, honestly, it doesn't exist. Or, are you suggesting that it's an honorary title, such as king of the hobos? So, once you get back to reality, let me know. As to chunks of stool, you're simply admitting to being a bigger ass than widely perceived.
You do not know you sheet from shinola.
