The doctor pulled out empty injection from my asshole. He put on new latex glove and drowned ot in bucket with lube.Insert one finger in my ass and immediately inserted the other one. It's starting to hurt a little. After a while he added a third finger and it started to hurt a lot and I started crying again. 

He came closer to me and said "Why are you crying ? We don't even started yet. You said that you have never been anal penetrated before. We're going to change that now." He pulled his fingers out of me and walked away.

I noticed him unlocking a cabinet in the back of the room. When he opened the door on cabinet, I focused my eyes through my tears and saw so many different dildos and nozzles. There were also many fucking big ones.

I was so scared that I felt my heart in my throat. He came back with some big bucket.

The nurse brought a stand with a water bag. She placed it next to the chair and started filling it with cleaning water.The doctor pulled out the 12" colon nozzle and put lube on it. 
At the beginning it's 1" in diameter and comes it up to 1.4" and last 4" insertable is 2" in diameter and then there is a stop where the hoses are.
He slowly started to push it into my body. After about 6 inch it stopped, even though he pushed hard. I was screaming through gag as it hurts. 

He pulled out and the nurse handed him a plastic stick. He inserted it into me and started circling it to find out where my large intestine continued. 

Then he started to insert the hose back in, but this time hard. He pulled it in and out until he got it all the way to the 2" diameter. He looked at nurse and then pushed it in hard until the end. She handed him the hose to plug it in and start the enema.

I felt water flow in my belly, it was unpleasant and painful. I was screaming and crying and shaking with myself trying to free myself.

When the water bag is completely empty and 2,5L in my colon. The doctor pulled out 12" nozzle and immediately put inflatable plug in my ass and started pumping. 

He stood up and said "You will be like this for five minutes. Then I'll pull out the plug and you'll dump it all into the bucket". The nurse massaged my stomach the whole time. It was terribly painful.

After I let it all out, the doctor came with a bigger and longer hose, and happily said "Let's have another round". My anal was inside out.

He linked all his fingers together and pushed them hard into my ass tried to get his whole fist in there. I cried the whole time. It was really really painful.

After this the doctor pulled out another one. "This is 40 inches of anal wrecking" I went to cry my eyes out after this message. The nurse said to doctor "She's skinny. She can't take it all". Doctor said her back "I will make her fit it all in"

a few weeks back i met a 72 year old man with 11 1/2 in cock to the balls and hes been busting my faggot ass for the last 3 weeks. and i love it. well last night he brought over a woman in her mid 50's not a bad looking woman for that age she must have had a tuck job because her tits stood up just like a 20 year olds would. but i dont think she had them implants. but anyway it was a blast she sucked my dick while he pounded me.

then she started laughing and said this is going ot be fun seeing if i can hold it in long enough to get to the bath room. then it hit me OH SHIT and him too i guess. well we decided to move around and try and walk to the bath room with his dick still in me. we got off the bed ok but me trying ot walk with a log up my ass wasn't easy and hewasn't strong enough to carry me. well we made it down the hall and just as we hit the bath roon door he sliped out of my ass and i jumped into the shower but not before we made a big mess all over the floor. i squatted down and pusshed his piss out of my ass for what seemed like 5 minutes. then i sat on the pot and finnish the job every time i thought i was threw and stood up it would hit me again and i have to set down for a few again. I LOVED IT. I'm tellign you i was always scared of big dicks the biggest before him was about 8 inches and it scared me . but not now i cant wait untill my ass hole get loose enough where i can take a fist.

I went to the gynecologist for a checkup about contraception at 16:00. There was only a doctor and a nurse there, so I could go inside right away.
The doctor asked me to sit on a chair and asked me questions as usual, but he also asked if I had ever been ass penetrated (No, I'm not). I was there for contraception, so it didn't seem strange to me.
After the interview, I signed the papers, but there were somehow more than usual. He asked me if I want to read it, but I signed them without reading. Then the doctor asked me to go get ready in the bathroom as usual and when I was done, to come and sit in the gyno chair.
Chair was a little different than the last time I was there, but it didn't seem strange to me at that time. When I was lying down, I looked around and didn't see the nurse.
He said there was nothing to worry about and that he had to tighten the straps around my calves so I wouldn't accidentally kick him. As usually he lubricate his finger and insert into my pussy and slowly sliding in and out.I noticed a nurse coming into the room with some bag. Then doctor said he must insert speculum because he needs a swab from vagina.
He insert plastic speculum into mi pussy and did a swab and put it out. I noticed a nurse doing something behind me, at that time I don't really care. 
She prepared BDSM accessories for that gyno chair (straps for arms, straps around the thighs, straps around my chest, and the structure that is supposed to hold your head against the seat with a mouth gag. But I didn't know about it.
She asked me to put my hands over my head. So I did. She grab a cuffs and cuffed my hands to chair and quickly deployed the structure with gag on my head and insert gag in my mouth. Then started tightening straps around my ankles, thighs and two around chest.
The doctor stood up and said "Mount arm restraints to the chair. We need her well secured for this experiment !". I tried to free myself. Nurse uncuffed my left hand, doctor grab it and she tied my hand (wrist, forearm and biceps) with 3 leather straps so I have my arm next to the chair. Same with my right arm on other side.
I never felt so helpless and vulnerable.He put latex glove on his right arm and put whole hand to bucket with lubrication.
Start inserting 2 fingers in my pussy. He added a third one shortly after. It was painful but also good and nurse put vibrator on my clit and held it there. It was like heaven at that time.Doctor pull out and try to put whole fist in my pussy. I screamed through gag. It was so painful.
After trying his best, he pull out after good five minutes. I was already in tears, but I was relieved that it was all over. At least that's what I thought. 
He reached over to the table and grabbed big stainless steel speculum and put lubricant on it. Inserted that big speculum in my pussy and he started to expand it to full extent. I was in pain. 
Nurse put lube on a small orange tube and gave it to the doctor. He started slowly inserting it to my pee hole. It wasn't painful but it was uncomfortable and weird. Then nurse inflated it a little and connected it to the bag hanging below the chair.
The doctor pulled a small table on wheels towards him. There are various tweezers, pliers, needles, injections and cleaning supplies on the table. 
He gave me an injection in my cervix, grab pliers and started stretching my cervix. It hurts like hell. I cryed and shaking a lot. Then he pulled out pliers and insert big stainless steel needle and start stabbing my cervix. I never felt that much pain in my life. After it he insert some small brush and start fucking my cervix with it. I went to cry my eyes out.
After he was done he said to the nurse "Here we are done, we can pull speculum out!".I thought my nightmare was over. I was looking forward to them untying me and letting me go so I could get out of there quickly. 
Nurse started to narrow the speculum and pulled it out. I was happy that it was over. But they still left that tube in my pee hole.
The doctor came to me with 5ml injection of lube. He ran his lubed fingers over my anus and told me "One more hole left". I started crying again. I tried my best to free myself from this hell, but it didn't work.
The doctor laughed and put injection of lube in my anal and emptied it.
The doctor pulled out empty injection from my asshole. He put on new latex glove and drowned ot in bucket with lube.
Insert one finger in my ass and immediately inserted the other one. It's starting to hurt a little. After a while he added a third finger and it started to hurt a lot and I started crying again. 
He came closer to me and said "Why are you crying ? We don't even started yet. You said that you have never been anal penetrated before. We're going to change that now." He pulled his fingers out of me and walked away.
I noticed him unlocking a cabinet in the back of the room. When he opened the door on cabinet, I focused my eyes through my tears and saw so many different dildos and nozzles. There were also many fucking big ones.
I was so scared that I felt my heart in my throat. He came back with some big bucket.The nurse brought a stand with a water bag. She placed it next to the chair and started filling it with cleaning water.
The doctor pulled out the 12" colon nozzle and put lube on it. 
At the beginning it's 1" in diameter and comes it up to 1.4" and last 4" insertable is 2" in diameter and then there is a stop where the hoses are.
He slowly started to push it into my body. After about 6 inch it stopped, even though he pushed hard. I was screaming through gag as it hurts. 
He pulled out and the nurse handed him a plastic stick. He inserted it into me and started circling it to find out where my large intestine continued. 
Then he started to insert the hose back in, but this time hard. He pulled it in and out until he got it all the way to the 2" diameter. He looked at nurse and then pushed it in hard until the end. She handed him the hose to plug it in and start the enema.
I felt water flow in my belly, it was unpleasant and painful. I was screaming and crying and shaking with myself trying to free myself.When the water bag is completely empty and 2,5L in my colon. The doctor pulled out 12" nozzle and immediately put inflatable plug in my ass and started pumping. 
He stood up and said "You will be like this for five minutes. Then I'll pull out the plug and you'll dump it all into the bucket". The nurse massaged my stomach the whole time. It was terribly painful.
After I let it all out, the doctor came with a bigger and longer hose, and happily said "Let's have another round". My anal was inside out.He linked all his fingers together and pushed them hard into my ass tried to get his whole fist in there. I cried the whole time. It was really really painful.
After this the doctor pulled out another one. "This is 40 inches of anal wrecking". I went to cry my eyes out after this message. The nurse said to the doctor "She's skinny. She can't take it all". Doctor said her back "I will make her fit it all in"
The doctor was seriously waiting for my ass to get tighter. He said that my anus is turned inside ouf after fisting and it wouldn't be fun.
After about 5-10 minutes, when I had calmed down a bit, he came and said "I finished my coffee, now we can start".
He put his gloves back on and started lubricating that 40"inch colon tube that starting with 1" diameter and gradually increases to 3" in diameter with two 3,5" retaining balls before end.
The doctor started pushing that thing in my asshole. The first few inches weren't that painful, but after about 10 inches the pain started to increase sharply. I started screaming through the gag and started shedding tears. He didn't care, he just kept pushing deeper and deeper.
About 15 inches from the end, he couldn't push it any deeper. I kept crying and snot flowing when I was in pain.
 He was pulling out and pushing deeper inside little by little. It got bigger and deeper in my body and it hurt more and more. It was probably a soundproof room because it was impossible for anyone to hear my crying and screaming.
When he thrust the entire 40 inches into me, including the larger 3.5" ball part, nurse connected it to the hose from the water bag.She turned it on and my stomach started to get bigger as my anus filled with water. He slowly pulled colon tube out of me. 
When he pulled it out of me, he quickly thrust 9" long huge 4" diameter butt plug in. He couldn't push the end in anymore, so he pushed with all his strength to get it in. It was an extreme pain, that I could feel my pelvis expanding.
I cried so much that my whole body was shaking. I was so tied up that it was impossible to get out of that chair. 
After a while, they pulled plug out of my anal and told me to empty it all into a bucket.
The doctor said we're going to finish but he still wants to try the new DP fucking machine with "horse" dildos. The nurse brought the machine in and spread the lubricant all over dildos.
The doctor came in and stuck one in my ass and the other in my vagina. Set machine to 30min with full insertion. It was really painful in both holes, but I felt a pleasant sensation in my vagina a little, but still it hurts a lot.
After 30 minutes, both huge dildos were pumped fake cum in my holes. Doctor pulled out dildos from my pussy and ass. Cum started to flow out of both holes. I was relieved that it was all over.
He looked at my tearful and sobbing face with a gag in my mouth for a moment and then said "One last time". He put all 5 fingers together and shoved his hand into my ass with all his strength. I started screaming and moving around with my whole body (not much because I was strapped to gyno chair)
When he finished fisting my asshole, he quickly pulled out his hand. It hurt terribly but at the same time I felt relieved. My ass was turned inside out. 
He shoved a tampon the size of a penis up my ass after the hole was a little tighter and then gave me a diaper. It was so humiliating.When the doctor finished his work, he told the nurse to "clean up and untie her" and he sat down at the table. He began writing papers evaluating the performance of experiment.
When she untied me, I wiped away the tears and snot, that were both all over my face after this 4 hours hell. I didn't say a word, I just kept sobbing and crying. After this "experiment" of theirs, I was almost unable to walk. When they saw me, they gave me crutches and helped me get into the taxi that they called. Thanked me and waved at me. When I got home, I was glad it was over.

Lots of posts today calling American's stupid, etc. Is it time to remind you Europeans yet again how fucked up you really are? About the 500 plus years of misery you have brought to the world? It's fun reminding you that your history did not begin in 1945...that you have a long history of colonization, slavery, ethnic cleansing, genocide, oppression, etc. Brits are the worst. Germans and French not too far behind. Thats not to let the Dutch, Belgians and Italians off the hook. Its fun reminding you.

Confession... I have always had a fantasy of being fucked by BBC. I'm a chubby bisexual [virgin in the cock aspect], I keep putting msg's on craigslist but chicken out. In my fantasy I get a reply and meet a huge black lad at a hotel room, he forces me to my knees and I suck his MASSIVE cock, then he throws me on the bed face down and lubes up my hole whilst putting on a condom. He then enters me with a big thrust, all the way to the balls, I scream and struggle. He grabs my hands n' starts to fuck my colon, my grunts of uncomfortable tightness turn to groans of pleasure as my prostrate began to be bashed by his cocks big swollen head! I then start to thrust my hips back and forth , groaning and muttering "fuck me fuck me", he then pulls out and I feel empty. He turns me over to face him, and enters me again. Now I wrap my legs around him and as he fucks me ,I fuck back. My mutterings have now reaches a crescendo of "FUCK ME FUCK ME"!!! My cock proud n' hard now reaching boiling point and I cum all over my belly. With this he grabs my hips and pounds even harder, this goes on for a few minutes and then his balls contract. A massive amount of seed is caught in the condom but its heat fills my colon. He pulls out and wanks the remainder onto my belly to join my seed. He then moves forward and makes me suck and lick his ball, I do this until he is rock hard again. He the pulls me over again into a doggy style and starts to fuck me hard. Delirious with anal prostrat pleasure I feel his balls banging against mine, being fucked like a bitch I place my face and shoulders on the bed, he grabs my hips and fucks with renewed rhythm! And in seconds fucks deep into me to the balls and looses his mighty seed into the condom for the second time, this continues until over and over until I pass out from pleasure ,orgasm exhaustion and anal fatigue!!! Well thats my confession and fantasy!

What is everyones infatuation with fucking a girl in the ass? the colon passes shit.... shit! Also, all the sick fucks fanticizing about little girls, do the world a favor, lay your genitals on a chopping block and drop a hatchet. And don't visit the local hospital, lay there and bleed to death while you think about that piece of dogshit that you are. PS: Have a wonderful day.

Stephanie’s Ghost

Stephanie had just moved in to a new house on the country, she had recently come into an inheritance and decided that she wanted a change of scenery, the house was about a mile outside of town and had no nearby neighbors. The inheritance was so large that if she didn’t get to luxurious habits she could live her entire life doing only things she liked.

Stephanie was preparing herself for her first night in the new house; she had taken a long bath to relieve some of the tension built up in her muscles from carrying boxes and unpacking al day. Al day she had felt as if someone was watching her, sometimes she even thought she felt someone caressing her gently, but every time she looked where she thought the stare or the touch came from she couldn´t see anything so she just convinced herself that it was all in her mind. After drying herself she checked herself out in the full body mirror, the person looking back at her was a short brunette with perky b-cup breasts, a pretty flat stomach and wide hips with a very nice ass. She then went to bed, naked as always, and started to read.

When she had read about ten pages she felt the presence that she had felt before and started to look around, then she felt as if fingers were caressing her stomach, one hand creeping upwards, the other hand tracing circles downwards. Stephanie threw of the cover and but saw nothing over her stomach, but she did see that there were small indentations in her soft skin where she felt the fingers now. She quickly ran her fingers across the area but didn´t bump in to anything, then she started to get up to run out of the room but then she felt the weight of a body pressing down on her chest and stomach, filling Stephanie with a paralyzing fear. A sheet from a moving box then starts floating through the air is torn into stripes by the ghost. Stephanie was so taken aback by what she saw that she didn’t even struggle when she felt her arms being pulled to the headboard being and tied there, the ghost then proceeded to tie her legs up to the headboard so that both her pussy and ass was on display for the unseen assailant. Stephanie started screaming but then realized that there was no one around for miles, so the screams turned in to silent sobs.

Stephanie then felt a mouth on her breast, sucking and nibbling on her nipple and fingers lightly pinching the other nipple, her nipples got very hard despite the fear still gripping her body. Stephanie could feel her pussy getting very wet and she started to moan, both from the ghosts’ attention to her nipples, but also from the situation. She had always had fantasies about being tied and dominated, but had never had any experience in the matter, in fact she had very little sexual experience altogether, she was twenty years old but the furthest she had ever gone with a guy was to give a blowjob, but she did use her trusty dildo to get her of almost every night.

The ghost now got rougher, it started biting her nipples and squeezing around the base of the breast to get more blood into the nipple so the pain got even greater, making Stephanie moan and groan even loader. Just as the wetness between Stephanie’s legs started to run down her belly and into her bellybutton the ghost started caressing her slit and Stephanie let out a loud moan. Most of the fear had now subsided as the pleasure increased and as the situation was becoming clear to her she realized that there was no point in struggling and just enjoy the experience.
The ghost now began sucking her clit and penetrating her, first she felt something thin go in deeper and deeper until it rested against her cervix, then begin to grow until she was full beyond anything she had ever felt. When Stephanie thought the pleasure couldn’t get any greater the ghost started massaging her g-spot and applying a tremendous suction to her clit, throwing Stephanie into the strongest orgasm she had ever experienced. Her entire body shook violently for a long time and at the peak of ecstasy the ghost squirted a large amount of lotion up her sphincter and started penetrating her ass. The pleasure and pain Stephanie experienced as the ghost broke her anal cherry threw her into new heights of orgasmic bliss that lasted for several minutes.

As Stephanie’s body slowly came down from the mind-blowing orgasm the ghost started penetrating her ass deeper and slowly stretching it wider and wider while removing itself from her pussy, the stinging sensation made tears roll down Stephanie’s cheeks, but her body was responding to the anal manipulation and Stephanie started to moan and buck against the unseen lover to get more into her tight ass. The ghost responded by going even deeper inside her and growing to an even greater width, it also started torturing her nipples again. As Stephanie was once again nearing orgasm a mirror floated through the air and was positioned so that Stephanie could see straight up her own ass and still wide-open pussy. As she stared at her obscenely stretched ass she realized that she now could probably fit her own fist up there. Then the ghost started pulsing and humping the thing in her ass, making it grow thinner and thicker as it moved in and out of her ass at an increasing speed. The sensation this gave Stephanie was one of mixed pleasure and pain that made her juices flow like never before and when she came from the deep anal probing it was deeper and more satisfying than any orgasm to date and for the first time she squirted massive amounts of cum all over herself, a few of the jets even made it to her face and open mouth, almost making her choke before she could swallow the tasty liquid.
The ghost now untied her and enveloped her entire body like a protective cocoon, and Stephanie had never felt safer or more loved and at peace, and so fell asleep and slept the best sleep she ever had.

When she awoke in the morning she almost thought it had all been a dream, but then she felt the soreness in her ass, nipples and pussy and realized that it had actually happened. She also felt that she needed to make a bowel-movement and so went into her bathroom. There the ghost seized her again, bending her down on all fours with her ass just above the toilet and her knees hovering over the floor. The ghost then started massaging her breasts and pulling her nipples, it then started playing with her now soaking pussy, squeezing her swollen clit and dragging her juices up to her butthole and greasing it up.

The ghost then started the tap and led a small torrent of body-temperatured water to Stephanie’s ass and then led the water inside while making sure the contents did not escape. Stefanie started to feel that her colon was filling with water, but the ghost started caressing her clit again and was filling her very slowly to avoid cramps and discomfort, the ghost then penetrated her pussy as deep as possible and swelled up inside her, it then started pulsing the organ inside her and plugged up her butt with 1 L of water inside it the enveloped her entire body and started squeezing and massaging her belly and intensifying the assault on her breasts and vagina, it also started expanding the plug that held Stephanie’s bowels inside. When she was close to cumming the ghost lifted her to a seated position on the toilet and pinched her clit and nipples hard as it reached out a smaller tentacle deep inside her pussy and penetrated the cervix, simultaneous with these actions it released the plug from Stephanie’s ass, making her expel all of her insides and throwing her into yet another powerful and long orgasm.

Stephanie was sitting on the toilette panting and sweating after the day’s first orgasm when the ghost bent her over again and again filled her ass with water and also her vagina which felt incredibly good. The ghost then started fucking her ass with the water still inside, contiously growing, but doing it so slowly that Stephanie hardly felt any discomfort, the ghost was pounding away faster and faster, making Stephanie have multiple orgasms from both the water filling her pussy and now cervix, and the incredible feeling of being butt-fucked with a colon full of water. When Stephanie felt she couldn’t take any more the ghost sat her down on the toilet and pulled out of her ass and she came one last time from the release of the water, this orgasm making her tired body black out.

Stephanie woke up again from the shower jet hitting her body and the ghost washing her limp body gently, paying close attention to her breasts and nether regions, it then carried her out of the shower and dried her of gently. When it felt it was safe to let her go without her legs giving way it sat her down and she heard her stomach growling, so she went to the kitchen to get some breakfast, when she had eaten she felt invigorated and up for some more wild sex, so she started caressing her nipples. The ghost was directly reacted to her display of excitement and so began another session of strange and great sex.

Stephanie truly loved her new house and its spectral inhabitant and almost never left the house, they lived happily together ever after.

20 points to show the sheep that the economy here in the US is indeed in a shit hole. Save your money and prepare for the worst! All these facts are real, real fucking scary considering Obama and the media are praising economic growth. Get ready people!

#1 The United States has more government debt per capita than Greece, Portugal, Italy, Ireland or Spain.

#2 The European Commission has formally declared that Europe has now entered another recession. German banks are leveraged 32 to 1 and the European financial system is rapidly approaching a nightmare. Lehman Brothers was only leveraged 30 to 1 when it finally collapsed.

#3 There are clear signs that economic activity is also significantly slowing down in the United States. For example, new orders for goods manufactured in the United States experienced the biggest drop in three years in January.

#4 U.S. consumers are busy racking up staggering amounts of debt once again. Total consumer debt rose at an annual rate of 9.3 percent in December. It is now sitting at a grand total of 2.498 trillion dollars.

#5 The U.S. Postal Service has announced plans to eliminate 35,000 more jobs.

#6 There are more unemployed Americans than there are people living in the entire nation of Greece.

#7 The percentage of American men that have jobs is near an all-time record low.

#8 Right now, there are 88 million working age Americans that do not have jobs and that the government says are not looking for jobs.

#9 The average duration of unemployment in the United States is nearly three times as long as it was back in the year 2000.

#12 The U.S. housing market continues to struggle deeply. Home prices in the 4th quarter of 2011 were four percent lower than they were during the 4th quarter of 2010. Overall, U.S. home prices are 34 percent lower than they were back at the peak of the housing bubble.

#13 Large numbers of Americans are putting off basic health procedures due to the declining economy. Just consider the following example from a recentHuffington Post article�.

Americans between the ages of 50 to 64 got 500,000 fewer colonoscopies, or screenings aimed at detecting colon cancer, during the recession, compared to the two years before, according to a recent study from researchers at the University of North Carolina�s medical school.

#14 The number of Americans on food stamps has increased by almost 50 percent since Barack Obama first took office.

#15 Right now, 48 percent of all Americans are considered to be either �low income� or �living in poverty�.

#16 The U.S. government is stealing about 150 million dollars from our children and our grandchildren every single hour of every single day.

#17 If Bill Gates gave all of his money to the U.S. government, it would only cover the U.S. budget deficit for about 15 days.

#18 Since the Federal Reserve was created, the U.S. dollar has declined in value by more than 95 percent and the U.S. national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger.

#19 Approximately 25 million American adults are living with their parents. Most of them are doing it for economic reasons.

#20 According to a new Politico poll, only 30 percent of all Americans believe that the next generation will be �better off economically� than the previous generation.
