This is when a contoured plastic "cup" is placed over a womans front bottom and suction is applied to form an air-tight seal. I dont know what is achieved by this though.

I thought it was a sleeping position for a couple where they both lie on their sides holding each other.... admittedly you can do other things than sleep in this position too.

i saw this done on a tv programme. the woman lay on her, front and these cups were placed on her back. when they were removed her back looked a mess and not a nice experience. it was supposed to be therapeutical. not for the faint harted.

Gwyneth Paltrow had it http://news.bbc.co.uk/l/hl/health/3879447.stm

Sorry link doesnt work but she had great big blisters on her back. Wouldn`t fancy it myself.

I suspect by the little :D that paulwauli was looking for some titilation.

[dantheman123]

China Doll, when you sleep like that it's called "Spooning"

[pauliwauli2]

[China Doll]

Cupping involves heating air in a 'cup' and placing it on the skin, as the air cools a vaccuum is created which sucks the skin into the cup - it's supposed to remove toxins from the body. It doesn't leave blisters but red marks not unlike a love bite.

Moon cups are an alternative to tampax and sanitary towels.

so whats a d-cup then?

[pauliwauli2]

hey, how did you know my bra size? haha xxx

There was a scene in Roman Polanski's Fear of the Vampires where the manservant places the glass cups on the back of his master to treat whatever ailment he had! Cannot remember if it was Polanski himself as the servant or Terry Downes (boxer) who administered the cups.
